`22.Dec.2015`	Ralph Schmidt: Amiga Forever contains unlicensed copies of the Cyberstorm ROMs The emulator distribution Amiga Forever 2016, released in November, contains images of the CyberstormPPC ROMs to simplify the installation of AmigaOS 4 for the end user. As this fact was not mentioned in the official press releases, it only became known when the download edition of OS4 Classic was discussed on amiga-news.de. During said discussion Ralph Schmidt, author of the ROMs in question, issued a statement (German) regarding the legal status of his work included with Amiga Forever. In both his comment and a mail exchange with amiga-news.de staff, Schmidt states that Cloanto does not have a licence to distribute complete ROMs. He points out that official Flash updates are still legally available from Aminet amongst other places. When approached by us, Michael Battilana from Cloanto rejected Schmidt's claim and stressed repeatedly that he's still convinced he owns a valid licence for distributing the files. Cloanto provided amiga-news.de staff with excerpts from the mail exchange between Battilana and Schmidt from 2014. A short look at the statements from both parties in these mails suggests that a simple misunderstanding is the cause of the problem, but neither party was interested in discussing details. Ralph Schmidt explains that he will not take any legal steps, since that "wouldn't make any sense". If and how Cloanto will react to this situation is currently not known to us.

`17.Dec.2015`	Amiga Forever: Alleged SFS problem turned out to be user error In our reports about version 2016 of the emulation package Amiga Forever a problem was mentioned when using the Smart File System that had been reported by some users on the forums and was also observed in the tests for amiga-news.de. Thanks to the extensive support of Cloanto, trying to solve the alleged problem, it turned out once more that the real error quite often is located between keyboard and chair. In addition to the installation guides for the emulator, one must not forget to follow the official booklet of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition as well to make sure that the 68k version of SFS from the CD's L: directory is used.

`17.Dec.2015` amigafuture.de (Webseite)	PCI-Busboards: Mediator PCI 1200 TX Black and Mediator PCI 4000 Di Black In a press release Elbox has announced that two new versions of the Mediator 1200 TX and Mediator 4000 Di will be available from December 21st on. The solder mask of both editions is black, therefore the producer calls it the "Black Edition". The version 1200 TX has six PCI-slots and a red LED which indicates when PCI cards cannot be removed or inserted. The Mediator 4000 Di is meant for A4000 computers in the desktop case, has four PCI 2.2 slots (which also support 3.3-Volt boards) and four Zorro II/III-slots ("one of them used by the Mediator 4000 Core Logic card").
