Retrospect: Jeri Ellsworth's "Amiga on a Chip"-project
In a clip on Youtube, Jeri Ellsworth presented her (not working any longer) "Amiga on a Chip"-prototype which similar to other projects emulates the customchips of the Amiga in a FPGA to make possible a remake of the computer.
The project is from the year 2005 and apparently was meant as successor of the C64 DTV. The interested producer canceled because of the low demand for such a toy.

MorphOS: Lua meets ARexx
Grzegorz Kraszewski's ipc.module is a new MorphOS-specific extension for his port of the scripting language Lua. The MorphOS port, which just reached version 0.5, is highly customized one and very well integrated with the operating system.
The purpose of ipc.module is to interface Lua with ARexx ports in applications. Sending ARexx commands and receiving results in Lua scripts is now very easy.
A proof of concept included to the archive is a Lua version of "love.rx" script from TVPaint. It may be executed with exactly the same result as the original one's, but a bit faster. It also shows that legacy 68k applications may be scripted in Lua as well as PPC native ones.
