IRC-Log: ACK answers further questions from users
Adam Kowalczyk of ACK Software Controls has commented further questions to his announced PPC products in an IRC discussion. The main items in short:

The planned high end motherboard is preliminary called "Powervixxen TL" ("Thunder and Lightning"). The current specifications don't consider any onboard hardware, but the board should contain a PCIe-slot (16x), a PCI-slot with 66 Mhz as well as 4 PCI-slots with 33/66 Mhz.

The PCIe-slot is connected to a common PCI-Bus (66 Mhz) by means doesn't offer any speed advantage over PCI oder AGP, but it makes the use of actual graphics adapters possible. The integration of such a PCIe-slots requires graphics drivers available for AmigaOS 4.

The PCI-SLot with 66 Mhz is meant for a combined card (USB/SATA oder USB/PATA).

ACK Software Controls is privatly owned and occupies for employees. The current Amiga projects are additionally financed with the support of external investors. (cg) (Translation: ts)

Keyboard Driver: MMKeyboard 3.21
Guido Mersmann has released a bugfix update of his keyboard driver MMKeyboard for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and Amithlon. The new version fixes the bug that the MMKeyboard-hardware was not correctly supported lately.

MMKeyboard allows the use of all multimedia buttons of the system. For this purpose, it offers, besides the conventional execution types, macros as well, which allow, for example, scrolling of windows, browsing through screens and windows, or ejection of media, too. Of course, in addition to the multimedia buttons, the normal keys of the system can be assigned to functions as well, similar to FKey.

Should you enjoy the program, the author asks to consider a small donation. (snx)

MorphOS: Updated FAQ for KHTML.library
Marcin 'Marcik' Kwiatkowski has updated the questions and answers to his work-in-progress porting of the KHTML-engine to MorphOS.

The underlying sourcecode has been switched to Nokia's S60-webbrowser-project (amiga-news reported). By switching to S60 the KHTML.library should be faster, easier to update and more stable. If nothing unexpected happens then first public version should appear by the end of summer. Currently the souce code yet compiles without any problems, and the engine is initialized and working.

The KHTML-porting project is a Bounty-project with a current amount of over 2000 US$. (snx) (Translation: nba)

Game data base: News from lemonamiga.com
100 scans from ads of print magazines have been added to the game data base lemonamiga.com.

Many games now have cross references to the data bases CPCZone (Armstrad CPC), KLOV (Arcade-Automaten) and Guardiana (Sege Mega Drive). This makes it possible to compare the Amiga version with the Arcade original or the Sega-/CPC version.

Since our last announcement nearly 200 new games have been added. (cg) (Translation: iw)
