Big Book of Amiga Hardware - new site and domain
« on: February 25, 2013, 10:09:16 PM »
The Big Book of Amiga Hardware (BBoAH) is back online again on a new domain:  

www.bigbookofamigahardware.com

The original site www.amiga-hardware.com, created and maintained by Ian Chapman is still online, but has not been updated since 2006 and will only continue to exist as long as Ian wants - but it will NOT be updated anymore. A link to the new BBoAH will be placed at the old site very soon.

All data and pictures has been exported to the new home of BBoAH and the site has been reprogrammed from scratch. A few new features is planned and the layout will also be updated soon (any CSS ninjas who volunteers?).

All emails with updates to BBoAH sendt to Ian from contributors from all over the world, has been forwarded to me and will be added to the database in the near future - a few items has already  been
added/updated. If you have an item that should be added, please contact me.

Hopefully the community will support the new BBoAH, so we can make the database even more complete. Thanks to Ian for his willingness to pass on he's work and great effort in creating the original BBoAH.

regards, bitman
www.bigbookofamigahardware.com
Probably the largest Amiga hardware reference on the net, with more than 1800 items listed.

I'm in the process of updating the content, and adding hardware - so if you have anything not listed yet, please send a description together with pictures to the email-address mentioned on the site.

Great. Bad pics is better than no pics.

I sent some stuff to one of them a few years ago but got no reply.

I'm just glad there's an active mirror again.

It's a great resource, especially with updates and changes to make it more accurate.

Is the A600 Power PC board just the A500 version with a convertor and a box?

You have been told two days ago that the German version of their site (bboah.de) is still actively supported and has seen tons of updates in the last 6 years.

I get it - running the show is a lot nicer than having to cooperate with someone. But pretending you didn't know about their efforts (like you did in that AW thread) or continuing to pretend that their effort is dead? That's just strange.

You're ignoring six years of DB updates (which are released under a CC license...) just to stay in control? That's the spirit!

We are talking about bboah.com, which is in english - I don't read german and to my knowledge bboah.de is in german (but it is updated).

I've tried to get in contact with the other mirror - no luck yet. Who said the 6 years of work is beeing ignored?

Read carefully before shooting at people. The news item here at A.rog was posted: 02-25-2013, 04:09 PM                                                        

You noticed me at aw.net that the german version still was active, at: 26-Feb-2013 13:39:14

A.org has just be slow at approving my news item.

bitman has a point though I'm afraid. http://bboah.de shows all menus and default texts in german. Granted there is a dropdown to switch individual pages to english, but it assumes  you know.

Personally, I dont care - read either - but I agree for english only people the german site is not really user-friendly/inviting :/

On the other hand... so sad to see:
- Ian holding on to the original domain without updates
- German site not having a better way of allowing english updates
- bitman opening another site
- http://amiga.resource.cx/ also being around

talk about duplicating effort ... guys (gals?) .. WORK TOGETHER !
