Amiga Forever 2006 has been released. The latest version of the award-winning Amiga preservation, emulation and support suite for Windows and other platforms is available in an Online Edition (compact download for Windows), a Plus Edition (downloadable cross-platform CD ISO image) and a Premium Edition (CD plus two video DVDs). All versions of Amiga Forever make it possible to run Amiga software on non-Amiga computers, giving access to thousands of Amiga games and demoscene productions which are available for free download from software publishers and Amiga history sites alike. The Plus Edition and Premium Edition include more preinstalled games and demos, additional items of historical interest and several hours of videos.
An easy way of transporting large amounts of data between a PC and Amiga 1200/600 is by using a Compact Flash card.
To make copying Amiga disk images between the Amiga and other computers quicker, a group of Amiganauts have developed EasyADF. This Amiga utility creates floppy disks from ADF files and allows you to convert an existing floppy disk into a ADF.
PCMCIA to Compact Flash Adapter + EasyADF can be found HERE.
