Today a friend has donated to me some nice things. Thanks Igor.

Things that have been donated:

• Amiga 1200 in nice cosmetic condition.
• Amiga 1200 Powersupply.
• Amiga Mouse (never used)
• Phase5 Blizzard 1260 / 80Mhz with SCSI Module and 4Mb of Ram.
• Commodore Amiga Video cable.

About the Amiga:

The A1200 offers a number of advantages over earlier budget Amiga models. Specifically, it is a 32-bit design, the 68EC020 microprocessor is faster than the 68000 and has 2 MB of RAM as standard.

The AGA chipset used in the A1200 is a significant improvement. AGA increases the color palette from 4096 colors to 16.8 million colors with up to 256 on-screen colors and an improved HAM mode allowing 262,144 on-screen colors. The graphics hardware also features improved sprite capacity and faster graphics performance. Additionally, compared to the A600 the A1200 was considered to offer greater expansion possibilities.

About the Blizzard 1260:

The Phase5 Blizzard 1260 is an accelerator which plugs into the trapdoor slot of the A1200. An optional SCSI-II controller is also available for this board. Includes a battery backed up clock. The card was also manufactured by DCE when Phase 5 went bust.

Autopsy:

After many years of use i have decided to replace my pfSense IPCop firewall installed on a Pentium III 500MHz / 512MB RAM with an embedded system like the “PC Engines Alix”.

The PC Engines ALIX series of system boards gives OEMs a higher performance replacement for the WRAP series of system boards.

Applications: Thin clients, kiosks, industrial user interface, wireless routers, firewalls, special purpose network devices…

CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 and Commodore C16 computers. It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms. Both the C128/C64/VIC20/C16 have their own native version of the application.

Release Notes – Version 2.1 – 2011-10-28 – Release Candidate 1

This version is intended to replace all prior versions you may have downloaded. Please see release notes for prior versions to get comprehensive list of changes.

New Features:

• It can detect the formats of Creative Micro Design’s partitions and sd2iec’s disk images.
• It knows automatically when to create either single-sided (D64) or double-sided (D71) images.
• CBM 8050 and CBM 8250 (SFD-1001) disk copier.

Changes:

• A better help file.
• Fixed batch delete: it can remove many more files in one pass.
• After a rename, it shows both the new and old names (you can verify that you changed what you wanted to change).
• It is better at catching and reporting disk/file errors.
• It is less likely to be jammed by missing drives.
• It has improved support for RELative files.
• It copies all of the data in IDE64 files.
• The panels show the disks’ format codes.
• The image creater says which image format it plans to make. Now, it tells you before it asks for a file-name (to remind you about which suffix to use in the name).
• Cleaner VIC-20 screens.

Known Issues:

• It can trigger the write-and-replace bug.
• It can’t create or write back D80 and D82 images.
• It can’t create or read images with error-blocks or extended tracks.
• The REL-file copier doesn’t truncate old target files that have the same record size as the new file.
• It will try to copy DEL files if they are selected.
• Errors don’t stop batch operations; the file is skipped.

C64 Studio is a .NET based IDE written by Georg Rottensteiner. This app supports project based C64 assembly.

The internal assembler is using the ACME syntax. In connection with Vice the IDE allows you to debug through your code and watch variables/memory locations, registers and memory.

Any other emulator can be set up as well if it’s startable via runtime arguments. C64 Studio allows you to compile to raw binary, .prg, .t64 or cartridge format (.bin and .crt for 8k and 16k). Additionally to this C64 Studio comes with a charset and sprite editor.

Version history:

01.11.2011 – 1.8:

• Fixed a bug in resuming a debug session.
• Added basic Basic V2 support.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 or VIC20 if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.

It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:

• Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
• Tabbed MDI.
• Syntax highlighting.

What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.

WAV-PRG is a program able to create a .TAP file or Commodore 64 tape from a C64 emulator file (.PRG, .P00, .T64), and create emulator files (.PRG, .P00, .T64) from a Commodore 64 tape. The latter can only be done if the tape is in a format supported by an existing plug-in.
