11.05.2023 - 'Amiga 2000 EATX PCB' revision 3.0 released
The purpose of this project is to develop an open source Amiga 2000 PCB in the EATX form factor, an ATX variant that allows slightly deeper PCBs. There are one-to-one board replacement projects for the Amiga 2000, but none to change the layout to meet current form factor standards. In addition, the Amiga 2000 made use of connectors and custom parts that are no longer commercially manufactured. This often requires parts to be pulled from existing machines. As such, this project will make use of only actively supported components when possible. New in Rev. 3.0: - Various fixes (see closed issues flagged for Revision 3.0), - Changed SRAM to 5V tolerant 3.3V part. - Removed almost all signal traces from power planes. - Swapped position of U801 and U899 and brought related components to front of board. - Updated to KiCAD 7.0

10.05.2023 - Amiga game 'Kalle Kloakk 68k' released
'Kalle Kloakk 68k' by Megastyle is based on the same gameplay as the C64 version, such as the story is the same. You exit to the right as always after all the toilet papers has been picked up. You will see a door when all the paper has been picked up. This is more like eye candy for your eyes, but, you can still exit anywhere on the right side of the screen. You can get it as digital download for a bargain (name your own price).

30.04.2023 - C64 game 'Jump'n Crate' released - free for download
'Jump'n Crate' is a fast-paced platform game. The objective of the game is to collect all the crates before the time runs out. The duration is decreased by time as well as collecting anti-crates (distorted ones) or getting hits by the robots and their bullets. However, collecting time capsules increase the time left (though not fully). If all 5 levels are completed, the time left provides extra points.
