Individual Computers Indivision AGA Mk2 A1200/4000T

The Indivision AGA Mk2 A1200/4000T is the successor to the discontinued Indivision AGA 1200 flicker fixer. As the name suggests, the new version also supports the Amiga 4000T (not the A4000 desktop model, there’s the Indivision AGA Mk2 A4000/CD32 for use with that computer). Other Amiga models are not supported.

The Indivision AGA Mk2 support a DVI-I connector instead of the usual VGA socket. DVI-I provides digital as well as analog signals, so you can use modern TFT displays, older TFT displays with analog input or CRT monitors alike (the latter two with a VGA adapter).

Commodore USA relaunch Amiga with AROS desktops

September 2nd, 2010 No comments

from Engadget homepage:

Barry’s back, kids! The CEO of Commodore USA  just informed us that, in addition to slapping Commodore stickers on various all-in-one PCs, he has acquired the rights to the Amiga name (we only hope that the process went a little smoother this time around).

The plan is to sell machines that fully support AROS — an open source variant of AmigaOS  3.1 that the kids seem to go crazy for.

We can’t wait to get a look at these bad boys, but for now it looks like we’ll have to do with the picture of an old Amiga 3000. …more

MCC: Multiple Classic Computer Platform

July 26th, 2009 2 comments

Multiple Classic Computer Platformfrom Homepage:

This Multiple Classic Computer Platform lets dreams come true.

The Classic Computer and Classic Arcade fans are just waiting for a device which allows them to go back to the good and easy operation and gaming experience from the past.

Many people still have unique software and programs which are still unbeatable when it comes to user friendliness. The reconfigurable and generic design will allow an easy switch between multiple different realizations and representations of classic computers.

When we look to the 80ies and 90ies, names like Atari ST, Sinclair’s ZX-Spectrum, Commodores VC20, VC-64 and the whole Amiga Series 500, 1000, 2000 come to mind.

main Features:

  • Old Joystick interfaces allow the usage of classic input devices.
  • A stereo/audio output allows the connection to each TV set, amplifier or computer monitor to explore enhanced sound.
  • Different versions for PAL and NTSC regions allow seamless usage and compatibility.
  • All this paired with the newest available hardware and new interface, like SD-Card, S-Video and RGB Output, improve the picture quality and the openness of the systems.
  • An internal memory enables the permanent storage of favorite games and applications, the menu overlay allows for easy selection of the application or game and the desired Classic Computer.
