Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.19
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)
The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Version 1.19 of the Greaseweazle Tools provide the following changes:
- gw read/write/convert: New option --reverse
- Reverses track data (eg side B of a floppy disk)
- Windows 7/8: Fix device detection, broken since v1.18
- IPF: Auto-detect write splice when not reported in image
- New diskdefs: Epson QX-10, apple2.nofs.140
- gw info, update: Better error report when GitHub rate limited
- NFD: Initial import-only support for T98-Next floppy image files

Computer history: User manual for the Amiga 300
A user manual dated November 1991 for the computer designed as the Amiga 300 but ultimately named the Amiga 600 has appeared on Archive.org, contributed by Randell Jesup. Photos of this scanned manual can be seen on the Commodore International Historical Society page. This manual, entitled "Introducing the Amiga 300", provides an insight into the functions and compact design of the official successor to the Amiga 500. The sudden and secret renaming by Commodore's top management shortly before the market launch remains an interesting chapter in the history of the Amiga. The subject was taken up by ex-Commodore UK boss David Pleasance in his book "Commodore: The Inside Story" (30 untold stories about a computer giant) in the section "The Amiga 600 Debacle". (nba)

Fake company: Amiga Technologies UG registry has been deleted
Salvador Fernandez Gomez, a former employee in the support department at phase5, had made numerous entries of companies in recent years, including the registration of a large number of website domains and the registration of word marks such as Amiga Technologies or Kickstart, which were intended to suggest a claim to the rights of various current and former Amiga brands. After the "phase 5 digital products UG" registered by him has been deleted on November 4, 2022, the "Amiga Technologies UG", which was also founded by Salvador Fernandez Gomez, has been deleted on July 17, 2024. So far, the "Commodore Büromaschinen UG" and the "Concorde Media UG" remain, for which a deletion notice also exists. (nba)
