Develop Your Own Game Console
Gerd Kautzmann writes: [translated from German] "I found a page on the WWW that concerns itself with a software development project for all manner of game consoles.
The prototypes are equipped with Z80, 6502, 68HC12 and ARM7 processors. In my opinion this is a very interesting page for all those interested in game console programming and build-it-yourself video computers.
Unfortunately there is no 68k computer there, but in this vein you may be inspired by this."

amiga-news.com online again
Simon Neumann wrote:
"Amiga-news.com which formerly was Amigaliennews is now online again and will be still
more up-to-date because of additional editors and improved web technology.
Because of many mails and some reflections we have made up our minds to call us "amiga-news.com".
We do not want to be a competitor to existing Amiga news sites but more a completion.
We also want to point out that we have underestimated the possibility of confusion
with amiga-news.de to the time of registration of our domain.
We did not have this intention. From our point of view amiga-news.de is one of the best
Amiga news sites which we all owe a lot.
Because of the positive messages of the last days about the development of the new
Amiga system we have decided to publish an AmigaOS 4-software list. It is meant to
give you a syrvey about current AmigaOS 4-software.
We all wish you a lot of fun with our new sites."
