==History== The idea for a Amiga-related software-archive was put into practice in 1991, when Swiss computer-science students of ICU – the informatics club of the University of Zurich in Canton of Zurich, Switzerland – started to use an Amiga 3000UX they previously got donated by the Switzerland-division of Commodore Int'l., and consequently put it to use to host a FTP-archive at amiga.physik.unizh.ch.
