GFX-Zone is a site dedicated to the pixel magicians of the Demoscene. The site has been down for a long, long time, but now it is finally up and running again. On the site you can find a ton of neat pictures from the best artists on platforms like the Amiga. If you are interested in finding out more, please have a look at the this link. We also have a gallery of Amiga art on this site, so if you enjoy pixel magic, you can have a look there as well. Our section will be updated frequently during the coming months.

Forum is down [out of my control]

Latest site news
Written by Harrison

The classicamiga forum is down.  I came home (on the 15th) to discover this and then found the whole of the invisionfree.com network is currently down too.
 
I did some digging and found the Invisionfree staff members latest blog entry that reads as follows:
 

November 15, 2006

All those posts finally blew a gasket. :p

Yoda: Seth break the Support Board? It’s not loading for me.
Brandon: s1 is broken
Yoda: how long til it unbreaks
Brandon:a few hours minimum

Ah the chaos that ensues afterwards should be interesting.

And of course:

NO we are not Upgrading to Zetaboards. The Server’s got a problem. Personally, I blame Seth. :p

 
 
The s1 server is the original and main Invisionfree server, and classicamiga's forum runs from the original s1 server as we created the forum whilst InvisionFree was in beta testing so have been with them since the start.
 
The s1 server being down also means it has brought down their own support Invisionfree site and support forums too, hence the "chaos that ensues" quote above.
 
Lets hope they can get it back up and running as soon as possible.
 
Update:  The forum is now showing the message "This domain is not setup for an invisionfree board".  This message is also displaying for all other invisionfree boards including the main support one so it seems to be a generic message.

HxC Floppy Drive Emulator

Amiga news

Tuesday, 14 November 2006
 
The HxC Floppy Drive Emulator is a software and hardware system created by Jean Francois Del Nero, that emulates the behaviour of a floppy drive. It currently works for Amiga and 16-bits Atari computers.

If you wonder what a "Floppy drive emulator" can be, just have a look at this:
 
 
 
As you can see, the floppy drive has been replaced by some piece of hardware. This piece of hardware features an USB connection to a PC. On the PC side, just run the Floppy drive emulator software and drag/drop your favorite disk image file. Then just use your beloved computer as usual (no hardware of software modification of any kind, apart from the floppy drive replacement is needed), and feel the magic !

It means that you can run all your Atari and Amiga software on the real machines, without the hassle of keeping your old floppy disks, and experience floppy drives failures.

Here is basically how it works : the PC software loads the disk image files (.ST, .MSA, .ADF, .DMS...), and convert track data to MFM format (the physical way the data is stored on a floppy disk). Then the hardware part decodes the floppy drive logic, and retrieves from the PC the MFM flow into SRAM buffers. Those buffers are then sent to the target computer.

The first version of the system used 74-series chips and SRAM, and the parallel port of the PC. On the second version, most of the logic has been replaced by an Altera CPLD, and a FTDI USB module has been used to replace the parallel port.

For more information, I suggest that you go to Jeff's pages about his project (Warning, those pages are in French language).
 
"The project is currently in a prototype stage : it means that most of the stuff works (both hardware and software), but that it is still not ready to be delivered to the public. We are now planning to have ready-to-use boards manufactured and sell them at a reasonable price."
