`30.Aug.2023` Simon Neumann (Mail)	Alinea Computer: TV-Port and OmniPort EX available Press release: Alinea Computer is very pleased to present two versions of the TV-Port and the OmniPort EX. Both products are port expansion boards that can be easily combined with each other. TV-Port The TV port is an interface board for every Amiga 600/1200 from which the TV modulator has been removed. The free space allows a hardware interface on the Amiga 600/1200 desktop case to be neatly routed to the outside. The following interfaces are available: 1x USB, 1 x HDMI FFC, HDMI Indivision MK2cr/MK3 or 1x Micro-SD. The TV port can be easily installed in the Amiga 600/1200 using the mounting block supplied. The basic version of the TV port can be purchased for between €9.99 and €14.99, depending on the variant. OminPort EX and OminPort EX for Vampire 2 The OmniPort EX is an extended version of the OmniPort multiport adapter - as reported earlier - which leads various hardware interfaces on the Amiga 1200 desktop case cleanly to the outside via the expansion port. The following interfaces are led out in the standard version: 2x USB (USB card), 1 x HDMI (IndivisonMK2cr/MK3) and 1x Micro-SD (SD2IDE). The OmniPort EX for the Vampire 2 has the following interfaces: 2x USB (USB card), 1x HDMI (Vampire 2) and 1x network (Vampire 2). The special feature of the EX version is that the motherboard can be equipped with an additional piggyback board. Boards for 1x USB, 1x Micro-SD, 1x HDMI for Indivision MK3 or 1x HDMI FFC with ribbon cable clamp connection are available here. The piggyback board can be easily installed in the Amiga 1200 together with the motherboard using the mounting block supplied. In order to be able to use the respective interfaces on the TV port or OmniPort EX, the corresponding hardware must already be installed in the Amiga 600/1200. Suitable cables and adapters are available as standard or as an option. The basic version of the OmniPort EX can be purchased from 26.95 Euro. The optional piggyback boards range from 9.99 Euro to 14.95 Euro. The basic version of the OmniPort EX Vampire 2 can be purchased from 35.95 euros. The optional piggyback boards range from 9.99 euros to 14.95 euros. (dr) [News message: 30. Aug. 2023, 15:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`30.Aug.2023`	Video tutorial: Creating a vertical scrolling demo with Scorpion Engine Erik 'earok' Hogan has posted on YouTube a recording of a Twich stream showing how to create a vertically scrolling demo from scratch on the Amiga (and Sega Mega Drive) using the Scorpion Engine. As the developer explains, the Amiga has no native support for column scrolling, but it does have the ability to display sprites with infinite height, which makes it possible to emulate the effect. The demo versions for the Amiga and the Sega Mega Drive look the same, but the setuo is fundamentally different. (dr) [News message: 30.

`30.Aug.2023`	Video tutorial: The Blitz Basic tool "Drawer Helper" Rob 'daedalus2097' Cranley has streamed another part of his Blitz Basic tutorial on Twitch (amiga-news.de reported) and made it available on YouTube: this time he dedicates himself to his second contribution to the Amiga Tool Jam after Closer, the tool "Drawer Helper" which is currently under development. The basic idea of the Commodity is to integrate a little of the functionality of Directory Opus into the Workbench. When a window is open, pressing F1 gives a small toolbar and thus the functionality to, for example, refresh the window, create/delete a folder or insert files. (dr) [News message: 30.

We are especially happy that Matthias Heinrichs (Matze from the A1k forum) can make it this year and will visit us at the meeting on Saturday and Sunday. His extensive list of projects/extensions for the Amiga can be admired in the forum there. They enrich many Amigas still in use today." (snx) [News message: 29.
