PC extension: mount HD partition from "KCS Power PC Board" on AmigaOS The KCS Power PC Board equips an A500 or A2000 with a miniature DOS PC - the computer can then be operated alternatively in Amiga or PC mode. Sander von der Burg has succeeded in developing a simple device driver for AmigaOS that mounts any DOS partitions created by the PC on AmigaOS. The developer describes the problem and his solution in a blog entry, version 0.0.1 of the driver as well as the corresponding source code are available on Github. (cg) [News message: 26.

AmiKit In A Box: Raspberry Pi 5 with Workbench distribution The well-known Workbench distribution AmiKit is now also available for purchase together with a fully configured Raspberry Pi 5 mini-computer - only the operating system itself still needs to be added as usual. Read below our translation of the official press release: AmiKit In A Box AmiKit is now available as a complete system (Workbench 3.x and a Kickstart ROM are additionally required, for example from Amiga Forever or an AmigaOS 4.1 CD - alternatively AmigaOS XL/3.5/3.9/3.1.4 is also possible). What is AmiKit? AmiKit is a Workbench distribution that runs via AmiBerry on a Raspberry Pi 5, and can also run AmigaOS 3.x right at boot time, so that unlike a UAE/AmiBerry system on a PC, AmigaOS 3.x is started directly. In addition to AmigaOS 3.1, AmigaOS 3.2 is also supported (in the latter case, AmigaOS 3.1 must be installed first, after which the update to AmigaOS 3.2 takes place). What do you get? A set-up Raspberry Pi 5 in a stylish case (with AmiKit logo), equipped with storage medium, power supply and active cooling, everything already assembled. The storage medium is already flashed so that you can boot directly and install AmigaOS 3.x (e.g. via a USB stick). In addition to the AmigaOS version, you also need a USB mouse and a USB keyboard (keyboards from AmigaOne systems or the Apollo Vampire do also work). AmiKit is a very professional workbench distribution. During the installation process, this distribution (which, as already mentioned, also requires an AmigaOS 3.x license and a corresponding installation medium) is installed, which contains a comprehensive software package. "AmiKit In A Box" is the fastest hardware solution for AmigaOS 3.x available. Heretic 2, for example, runs at a resolution of 640x480 pixels at around 50 fps (faster than the PowerPC version on an AmigaOne x1000 with software rendering, and also significantly faster than on all other Raspberry-based 68k solutions). With moderate overclocking, the frame rate for games such as Heretic 2 goes up to 56 fps (for comparison: 63 fps with software renderer and 640x480 pixels on an AmigaOne x5000). The system is also used by Steffen 'MagicSN' Häuser to test his 68k game developments (e.g. Heretic 2, Gorky 17, RetroArch). Further informationen can be found at the title link as well as on YouTube: AmiKit In A Box is available for 239,95 EUR (incl. VAT). (snx) [News message: 25.
