One issue that I've picked up is that the Downloads function is broken, I'll try and get this fixed before the end of the weekend.

Our books, data sheets, manuals etc library is back online (I had forgotten about these!)

You can reach it at https://www.commodore-128.org/Library/

I have a few more items to upload it, but there's roughly 350 items in it so far.

I'll also add a direct link (via a menu button) on the top of the forums a tad later.

As this has now been completed, I've placed a permanent redirection on the ddns site - this'll remain in place for 30 days and then after that I'll shut down the web server on that machine.

Please ensure that you update you book marks to point to https://www.commodore-128.org/

Although I've checked everything, there *may* be the odd error that has crept in - if you spot any issues let me know!

Frank Eggen's Switchless 8x Multi-Floppy Speeder 32KB RAM extension (DolphinDos 3) for the C128DCR and the internal 1571 floppy drive has been released on Github. Documentation, schematics, Gerber files, Kernal ROMs and logic files are available there. So everyone can rebuild this project.

This project is a further development of the very fast and popular DolphinDos3 for the C128 and the 1571 floppy disk drive. It uses the best of the retro world and the technology of the present and has never been available before. Switchless 8x Multi-Floppy-Speeder not only runs with DolphinDos 3 but can also run up to 8x DOS Kernals and C128/C64 Kernals and can be conveniently activated via DOS commands. This means that JiffyDOS 128, for example, can also be run alongside the original CBM-Dos and DolphinDos 3. This ensures maximum compatibility. The 32KB RAM extension is organized in 4x 8KB banks and, together with the Peripheral Interface Adapter (PIA, type 6821 or 6521), enables ultra-fast parallel data transfer and control of the 4x 8K RAM banks (32KB).

The Switchless 8x Multi-Floppy Speeder with 32 KB RAM extension for the Commodore C128DCR is one of the universally applicable accelerators for the internal 1571 floppy disk drive of the C128DCR.

In addition, the "Switchless 8x Multi-Floppy Speeder" is fully RAMBoard-compatible, which enables the use of corresponding nibble copy programs that support RAMBoard.

Version 1.16.5 of ugBASIC and UGBASIC-IDE has just been released.

Version 1.16.5 of ugBASIC and UGBASIC-IDE has just been released. In addition to containing strong optimizations and corrections for all targets, there is a preliminary support for automatic animations and synced movements.

Migration is largely complete.

All going well this Staurday I'll attempt to move the site to the commodore-128.org domain.

Fingers crossed
