Michael Böhmer and Chris Hodges attend the Amiga meeting in Bad Bramstedt
The developer team of E3B and PCP will attend the Amiga meeting in Bad Bramstedt. Chris Hodges will present a first version of the upcoming USB stack Poseidon V3, both on an Amiga Classic and a Pegasos II.

With some luck, E3B will be able to offer the first freshly produced SUBWAY modules. In any case, the current top product in the USB and flashrom market, the ALGOR PRO and ALGOR will be available.

People interested in USB on Amiga can get a first feeling of the power of Poseidon and E3B hardware on our demonstration Amiga. Both developers will answer questions on their products.

Aside from the current hardware products several prototypes from the development of USB for Amiga Classic will be presented. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Luciferin flashrom software update to version 1.7
Dear customers of the flashrom solutions of E3B,

E3B and Chris Hodges are pleased to announce the availability of a new version of the Luciferin software for the Highway+Romulus, Algor and Algor Pro flashrom equipped hardware. This new release can be downloaded following the link in the title.

It includes the following changes (V1.5 -> V1.7):
  • Luciferin will not ask, if the reset vectors should be cleared after the contents of the flashrom have been updated. This is to avoid having to turn the machine off and on again when using the Permanent boot loader.
  • There is also a menu item for clearing the reset vectors now.
  • The AlgorKick program now also supports uncompressed Kickstart images for users of the 1MB flashrom version Algor PRO.
  • The boot loaders have been updated to detect the AlgorKick module and call it directly, saving one reboot cycle.
The update has been made public, not only for the users that forgot to register their hardware, but also for other potential customers to try the software.

All users are invited to try out Luciferin (which was rated as superior to all other flashrom solutions on the market), even if they do not own the required hardware. Luciferin will operate in Demo mode then -- only the actual flashing operation is blocked for obvious reasons.

Also, the comprehensive manual will give much insight on the flashrom topic, and how it can make your life easier.

There haven't been any user requests in the last months, so we suppose that the software can be assumed to be in a final state. Anyway, we hope that you will enjoy this update as much as you did before. Thanks have to go to the users for their support! (snx)

  • Simulation of clicking the Left Button + Shift held down,

  • Mouse Movement to Scroll conversion
  • Toggle Move/Scroll function
  • Cycle Screens function

About Cocolino:
The COCOLINO PS/2 Mouse Interface is a microprocessor-based adapter for attaching PS/2 mice, trackballs, glidepoints and radio-controlled mice from the world of PC computers. COCOLINO can work with all models of Amiga computers. It simply plugs into the Amiga's mouse port. The COCOLINO PS/2 Mouse Interface is a full 'plug and play' device. No software is required for standard use. The enclosed software allows using two wheels and 3rd, 4th and 5th buttons available in many PS/2 mice and trackballs. The COCOLINO interface starts working simultaneous with the computer's start so mice can be used in the early-startup-menu (unlike the mice connected through the serial port). COCOLINO uses linear movement interpolation, which makes mouse movements perfectly smooth with any screen frame rates.

Info on the current versions is available in the DOWNLOADS | Cocolino section.

Update: (09.10.2004, 17:15, cg)

Until October 24, a special promotion bundle is available, containing the following items:
  • 2 wheel & 5 button 4D Optical Mouse
  • Cocolino PS/2 Mouse Interface
  • Software supporting wheels and additional buttons
  • Original Amiga Boingball mousepad

This special offer can be found in Elbox' online shop. (snx)

OS4Depot: New functions/SourceDepot introduced
With the SourceDepot offers the OS4Depot now a central place for source codes that have already been ported to AmigaOS4 or that can be ported to OS4 in the future.

Further enhancements at the OS4Depot:
  • Statistic pages added, showing the monthly download tries (example)
  • Simplier replacing of the older version of an uploaded archive; just click on the according readme page 'Replace' (example)
  • New info page with useful information about the OS4Depot as well as for banners that can be used with own links
Furthermore it is told that since some time it is not possible to do uploads from the OS4Depot to the Aminet or AmigaShare. All files will remain in the upload queue, though, until this works again.

The providers thank all the contributors. Recently the number of 100 files was reached. (snx) (Translation: wk)
