Keyrah makes keyboards of classic computers available to new computers. The board fits the case of a C64, VIC-20, C128, C-16 or Amiga 1200, and turns the computer into a USB keyboard. In addition to that, two digital joysticks can be connected that will act as additional keys (for example cursor keys). It switches between two key-maps that are either adjusted to the daily use under Windows, or especially for emulators like Vice and Amiga Forever. The keyboard adaptor is tested on Linux, Amiga OS, Mac OS and Windows.

Jeri Ellsworth announced on retrogaming radio that, in her spare time, she is porting over her DTV PAL core to the C-one. She is hoping to have something ready in a month or two. If you want to know more about the C-one then join the CommodoreOne mailing group on Yahoo.

ACK Software Controls, Inc. announces two new products for the Amiga 1200. The first product is a Freescale 8245 based CPU card clocked at 400 MHz. The second product is a modular busboard and CPU combination for use with towered A1200 machines. The bus board features an AGP 1X slot, three PCI slots, 2 DDR DIMM slots for memory expansion, a Silicon Images 680 IDE controller, onboard USB and ethernet. Both products will ship with an OEM version of OS4 and contain a version of U-Boot as the firmware. More info on these products in the beginning of next year.

SwinSID2 sound module is a successor of previous C64 sound card (SwinSID). SwinSID2 has all features of original SID chip - the simple waveforms, effects and filters plus new extra additions. Polyphony was increased from 3 to max 8 channels. Sound card has 16 various waveforms from simple shapes like SID's to complex and soft sound of bass or guitar. If that's not enough, built-in waveforms processing engine can do some modulation to add flanger, chorus and other. The Prototype of this card is already working, but the software is under construction at the moment.

Yes there is a third version of the C64 DTV. After the NTSC and the PAL they came up with something very different. Some one made a Hummer simulator with the use of DTV technologie. It's sold by RadioShack for about 25 Euro's.

You need a SID but you don't want to take it out a C64. Now there is an alternative. Put in a SwinSID. SwinSid is a replacement for the good old SID and has the following features: Compatibly with SID chip. Wavetable synthesis High quality audio DAC - 16bit stereo.

Arjen Vellekoop has made a universal PCB for the C64. You can put a 32 kbyte eprom on it. It has the following features: 8k, 16k, or 32k (E)PROM, EXROM / GAME, ROML / ROMH, RESET Switch, You can order a empty PCB or a fully build and tested PCB.

CynthCart v1.0 is a program that turns your Commodore 64 into a synth that you can play like a keyboard! Its available on cartridge. Features are 3 voice polyphony, works with the C64 piano keyboard overlay, change patches and settings while playing, filter cutoff control via paddle controller, whammy and more.

For the Plus/4, C16 and C116 a SID cartridge is being developed. But next are the PET's and CBM's. There is an expansion available to put a SID (music chip from the C64) into the "oldies".

Elbox brings the D-BOX 1200 which is a new version of the Amiga 1200. D-BOX 1200 is a tower case which is designed for the Amiga 1200 users who want to upgrade their computers with Dragon 1200, the ColdFire-based accelerator combined with the PCI/AGP expansion busboard.

There are still people who make new hardware for Commodore computers. Jim Brain is such a person. His newest hardware project is called uIEC. The u stands for micro and IEC is the serial bus for the VIC20, C64/128, C16/116/Plus 4 and the C64-DTV. This project is an interface between the IEC-bus and IDE drives. The interface is controlled with a little (re-)programmable microprocessor. At the moment it is still a proto-type but Jim already gave a demonstration at the LUCKI Commodore Expo.

PET / CBM owners missed out on the cartridgeport like on the next generation of Commodore computers like the VIC 20, C64. Plus/4, ect. But Michael Sachse build himself a catridgeport for the PET/CBM series. Take a look at his website for the schematics and detailed explanation.

The Commodore Portable Media Centre is a AV Jukebox. You can enjoy hours of mobile entertainment from music to photos to complete motion pictures. This is a multimedia player released with the Commodore name on it. It has a 30Gb harddisk and a TFT screen and runs on batteries or a adaptor.

The Turbo CPC by Tobias Gubener has experienced another update, this time with a new graphics mode that is provided by a new version of the system flash V0.47. The new mode increases the pixel rate to 33Mhz (before: 25Mhz), giving the possibility to display a higher resolution.

IEC2IEEE is an interface which translates from the serial IEC-bus of the C64 to the parallel IEEE-bus of older Commodore drives like the SFD-1001. It supports fast JiffyDOS IEC-bus routines. It's very easy to build oneself and it's very cheap, about 15.- Euros. Full details on the website.

The Final Replay is a new ROM image to be used with the Retro Replay cartridge and the RR-Net ethernet adapter. This ROM is an attempt to combine the advantages of the two major cartridges for the C64, the FC3 and AR6 and bring it to the Retro Replay. Unlike the existing Retro Replay ROM this cartridge does not build upon older cartridge ROM's but is written from scratch.

People who want to create their own mega memory for the C64 take a look at this project. This Interface is to use a MMC Card Memory for your good old C64 Computer. In fact, you can use this hardware with Atari, Apple II, and all the rest of your 65xx boxes.

Jens Shönfeld has announced that the MMC64 are ready to ship to the costumers. Price is 49,- EUR. MMC is a flashable device with a SD card as a mass storage for d64 files.

If you think about a grafix card you might think that's something for the modern PC. But even for the PET series a grafix card was made by the company Eltecthe PET series had a grafix card ad-on. With this card could do a 220 x 256 bitmap on the screen. You can download the whole document and schematics. (German language)

MAS-Player is a module that can convert MPEG music to an analog signal. The main chip the MAS 3507D controls this conversion. The well known MP3 format will be processed through a soundchip CS4331KS from Crystal Cirrus Logic. The MAS-player was developed for the classic Amiga and is plugged into the Parallelport.

You have a Pegasos, but are tired of carrying it around and building the system at parties. Look at this website and find out how to build a portable Pegasos. Other Amigas also got transformed into a portable.
