Here is what Charles Gutman of 8-Bit Designs has to say about Multicart 64
--

"My first run of Multicart 64 is done.

Here's the "Options List" for those who desire to fit it to their needs:

A) Chips soldered direct to board- the cheapest and simplest option for the vast majority of people for both cost, and the fact that it can be fitted into a cartridge casing very easily.... ;) (Most sales will come from this option I'm certain) $34.00

B) EPROM is "socketed." This option allows the user to swap EPROM with others that they desire to program, allowing for an even higher usage of the
cartridge than it was originally designed for. $36.00

C) All socketed! I have no idea why anyone might want the board totally socketed unless they desire to replace the parts in the future, or maybe use the board for other applications; however in the event that you do desire to have the WHOLE BOARD socketed, then this is your option! $38.00

D) Now this is the option that I know that a lot of people will be asking
about as well -- direct to the board, but inside a cartridge casing with a label! $40.00

These prices include shipping to the lower 48 in the US. For shipping outside the US, contact me." You can contact Charles at charlesgutman(at)gmail.com. Payment by postal money order or by Paypal. International orders by Paypal only. No credit cards through Paypal.

The Multicart 64 is based on Fotios' FB-Jumbocart1, the prototype of which was last seen at the Commodore Vegas Expo in 2007. Fotios and Charles have worked on this to get it out to market.

ANALOGIC COMPUTERS - RETAILER &

A recent forum post and email to Commodore Free suggested Analogic Computers are still around selling Amiga computers and have a repair centre.

Though they are still up and running, and still list Amiga and Atari hardware, there isn't much to see on their website: just the usual memory upgrades and a replacement mouse. I don't know what they can and still repair, but it's
useful that companies are still supporting the Amiga in some form or another. My emails for more information never received a reply!

AMIKIT FOR REAL AMIGA V.0.3 RELEASED
*************************************

NEWS FROM AMIGAKIT

AmigaKit are happy to announce the release of the much awaited update for Real AmiKit version. Full and update v0.3 archives are available for download for free at: real.amiga.sk/

New features include more applications and memory card support. Now you can
use AmiDock or AmiStart for launching your applications, streaming music with AmiNetRadio, or using compact flash cards to transfer your data. New
wallpapers were added as well. Enjoy!

In the first place you will find a nice and easy to use update installer that delivers the following:

- AmiDock re-positioned, so it will seem transparent. It will let you use more space on the screen, and if you use Workbench2000 you will see also (full instructions in the package) that you can "put away" AmiDock and as the WB2000 taskbar disappears, you will have more desktop space.

- New AmiDock icon on the Workbench2000 bar.

- AmiNetRadio installed and working without FPU.

- AmiStart installed and working without FPU or RTG. A very powerful and fast Amiga is required though, or you can use it under emulation. Try it!

- General PCMCIA support; DH0 and Fat95, so most of the cards should work.

- More wallpapers and a new 256 colors drawer.

- New bootpics to choose.

- Changed the top bar text to "real.amiga.sk".

- Changed position-info for Magellan icons

- FreeWheel running from the WBStartup now. Run Exchange commodity to
configure it.

- HippoPlayer running with BlurScope as a new option on Workbench2000 bar. BlurScope is an external player, so before now you had to open first HiP and then search for the Scope... Now they work together, and are living on Worbench2000 bar. Click and the show begins...

- IconLib 46.4.284 by Peter Keunecke.

And... Chewaka's voice for WookieChat on AmiDock was added!

Thanks a lot to Thomas and PeterK for their continuous support.

Hello,

I'd like to start by saying I really like reading Commodore Free. It's easily one of my favorite magazines. I'm a big fan of both Retro Gaming and Vintage Computing, so I always enjoy finding new websites to read that cover those topics. I started computing back when I was in school. I started with Apple
II computers when I was in middle school. I continued working with them into high school, and during this time, I purchased my first home computer, a Commodore VIC-20. Later I went to a 64, a 128, and an Amiga 500, until I made my way to an Amiga 3000. Now I'm mainly a Mac user, but also work with Linux and Windows. On the gaming si
