What happened?

[prolife]

I've been doing other things... so what has happened these last couple of years in the amiga scene? I'm not sure what is real in the hardware and what's not!

Google "Franko".

Google "Franko".

LOL , Excellent response!

and... to answer the original question, nothing much. High priced 'new' hardware, underfunded o/s development and the same good old crowd enjoying what was (and still is).

Some of the most interesting items hardware wise?

-New Accelerators/RAM for the Amiga 1200 and Amiga 600 (and soon for the Amiga 500??) from Individual Computers.
-New, hopefully soon, Indivision MKII for the Amiga 1200 SD/FF+++ from Individual Computers.
-New FPGA based Amiga (+others) clone with AGA compatibility, FPGAArcade.  First batch being sent out (I think) and a larger run planned.
-New MP3 MAS player for all Amiga's (parallel port, I think WB 2.0+??) from Amigakit.
-New RAM card for Amiga 3000s/4000s, ZorRAM from Amigakit.

Also, it's software but with a hardware side, new PCMCIA WiFi driver that supports WPA.

Not specifically Amiga, but the Kryoflux USB controller, allows you to hook up a standard PC floppy drive to your PC (Mac, Linux, Win) via USB and create and write back disk images, including ADFs.

And more...

So, all in all, yeah, not too much..    :crazy:

Wish we had a like button, I know loads of people will hate me for that one, but really good post and hlepful.  See it  does still happen on this site

Yes, and good progress has been made with:
- AmigaOS 4 having the new X1000 released (unfortunately a very high price but that's the cost of low-volume high-spec machines)
- Firefox port "Timberwolf" for AOS 4 now at Beta 2 and improving all the time.
- MorphOS currently at 2.7 and rapidly approaching 3.0, including support for new PowerMacs.
-AROS has IcAROS v1.4 released, now better than ever

And yes, Franko also happened.
