Amiga Future (website) GuruNet: LAN connection via parallel interface (2nd update)
The GuruNet adapter provides network connectivity to Amiga 600, 2000 and 3000 computers. It is compatible with the PlipBox. As a future product, a WiFi version for the serial interface with an additional SD card interface is announced.

Update: (22:37, 11.11.18, snx)
Correction of the news-item after previously, like our source, mixing up the already available GuruNet with its successor, the GuruModem.

2nd update: (20:09, 12.11.18, snx)
Interface corrected - parallel instead of serial. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Amiga Documents (Twitter) Lawsuit: Itec responds to Hyperion
In the lawsuit with Cloanto, in March Hyperion did not just sue Cloanto but also all other "Amiga parties", that means all companies which since the year 2000 own or owned rights on Amiga and which all are contract partners of Hyperion: Amino (formerly Amiga Inc., Washington), Itec LLC and Amiga Inc. (formerly KMOS, Delaware).

This caused the resurrection of Amiga Inc., followed now by an identical response of Itec LLC - which can be found at the title link, again thanks to the author of the "Amiga Documents".

Like Amiga Inc., Itec alleges that Hyperion did break the settlement agreement by e.g. using the trademark AmigaOS for merchandising products or selling AmigaOS 3.1 and 3.1.4 as well as Kickstart 1.2 and 1.3 without having any proper rights.

It is also said that the former manager of Hyperion and today's shareholder, Benjamin Hermans, did flaunt to have cheated the Amiga parties by using tricky wording for the settlement agreement which later allowed him to assert rights on a wider scale. In the opinion of the Amiga parties only those rights on AmigaOS 3.1 had been granted to Hyperion which are necessary to develop, sell and promote AmigaOS 4.0.

Against this background Itec LLC, like Amiga Inc. before, have requested the court to dismiss the case of Hyperion and/or declare the settlement agreement invalid. (snx)

Amiga Future (Webseite) Diagnostic tool: DiagROM 1.1
DiagROM is a diagnostic tool which the user has to burn in an EPROM and the replaces the Kickstart-ROM of an Amiga. Third parties also sell ROMs. The software does not require any timer, IRQs etc. and therefore should be able to run on only partly working computers and do some hardware tests. The results are given to the serial interface or to the screen as different colour codes.

Version 1.1 introduces a "new memory-detection routine that hopefully finds more memory" as well as a "A600/1200/4000 IDE detection". Additionally there are some powerup extras. (snx) (Translation: dr)
