I'm a proud technology Geek with an appetite for retro-computers and retro-gaming. I've been told I'm handy with a soldering iron so and I help out with repairs to keep the fun alive!

now nearly 20 years after it was first published, rob o’hara’s Commodork remains to be the most faithful recollection of the bbs era. i’ve re-read it almost every year since it was printed, and i’m always struck by how accurate his memory for the warez and modeming scene is.

i’m amazed that we still do not have a comprehensive written history of BBSes to this day.

It’s the 40th birthday of the first computer I remember using. The Amiga 1000 was released this day in 1985!

Installing and running #Debian 3.1 on an #Amiga 4000, wow what a journey / read that was!

Looks like excellent work.
It is a shame that this requires a 030 and AGA, which puts it out of range of most Amiga sold (and still running) but it seems to be a very competent ROM port. 👍

I am still convinced that OutRun does not need that much CPU power to run (a 68000 should be enough with proper optimizations) and that reasonable visuals can be obtained on OCS but the proof will have to be in the pudding. 😉

In early 2024, Robert Smith used his DaynaPORT driver to create a SANA II driver for the Amiga based on Lukas F. Hartmann's MNT ZZ9000 network driver and using the BlueScsi v2 WIFI version to enable the Amiga to access the Internet.

Now, with version 1.0 of BlueSCSIUI, he has released a user interface for BlueSCSI for AmigaOS 2.0 and higher that supports configuration and diagnosis of the DynaPORT driver.
