Modernising the Amiga at Forty


I'm writing this on the 23rd of July 2025. 40 years ago, The Amiga Personal Computer was revealed to the world at the Lincoln Centre in New York.

The CD-ROM contains the ADF files - effectively Amiga Floppy Disk images - which we can load onto the USB and into the Gotek. This file will no doubt be placed inside an ADF, put on a USB stick, copied to the RAM: disk, then decompressed with lha. We can copy over fun things now like Cecconoid!So if everything has gone well, we now have an Amiga with the latest OS, permanent storage, a network connection and some useful tools.
