What a Wonderfull day! Just bought a nice Amiga 600 HD on a marketplace. The only problem was the harddrive that needed to be replaced! So opening up the AMIGA and lets take a closer look.

After some cleaning and replacing the harddrive the Amiga 600 HD can be reassembled again.

Now this looks better. The machine is in pretty Mint condition for a 20 year old. :-) To see it running checkout my youtube video below!

Commodore trademark has a new daddy!

As posted on http://www.commodore-amiga.org

After months of hard work and international legal filings, I am thrilled to finally announce that Commodore Holdings (C Holdings), which is the corporate entity that owns and holds the trademark IP “Commodore” is no longer a part of or a division of Asiarim Corp. The stock in Commodore Holdings was pledged as collateral years ago, and 100% ownership of that company is now in the hands of a new group (wonder who that can be?). Additionally, a ruling came down this afternoon from the Netherlands court that has formally put Commodore Licensing B.V. into involuntary bankruptcy. This bankruptcy proceeding was initiated by this same group. Asiarim and whatever else is left of it will shortly be following suit. The Netherlands court will be appointing a receiver for the bankrupt parties within the next day or two.
