ScuzzBlog: Diaries March 2022 Entry 29th March 2022: Post 1: CUAmiga - DIY AIR Link. CUAmiga - DIY AIR Link. So what was the most obscure thing given away on the cover of an Amiga magazine ... A PCB or small circuit board. With the November 1997 issue of CUAmiga the magazine shipped an AIR Link unpopulated board that anticipated you, the reader, would build into a remote 'thingy-me-bob' for controlling your world from your Amiga. Mine is still taped firmly to the cover of the magazine. [I quote ] Wondering what the circuit board is on the cover ? It's an AIR Link a new easy to build DIY project that will let your Amiga take control. AIR Link is a specially redesigned version of an existing project called InfrAREXX. The completed device plugs into the joystick port on any Amiga and acts as a general InfraRed receiver and transmitter [ end quote ]. Sadly not something I was ever likely to do. However the cover disk for this particular edition had the very sexy DrawStudio Lite. Which really was a hoot and a half. By the time we get to 1997 CU were confusing the pants out of their readers by printing two versions of the mag. One with CD and the other proper version with the two floppy disks. I can't believe that this was a very efficient way of publishing mags. Inside is the usual plethora of informative articles and picture galleries. I do love the picture galleries. Unfortunately the whole magazine is spoilt by a dark sinister double page advert for the evil forces of Apple. Something I will discuss in tomorrows blog. Anyhoo.. I'm off to play with Tifa in Final Fantasy. As you do. CUAmiga - DIY AIR Link.
