New graphics board drivers: Enhancer Software Graphics Upgrade
A-EON has announced the immediate availability of the "Enhancer Software Graphics Upgrade" which is a supplement to the Enhancer package. The upgrade offers 2D and 3D drivers for "Radeon RX" graphics boards with Polaris chipset. Besides, Warp 3D - the "Nova" as well as the clasic version - now can address more than 256 MB graphic memory.

What is included:

RadeonHD version 3.6 driver
RadeonRX version 1.11 driver
Warp3D Nova 3D Driver for RadeonRX

Enhancer Software version 1.x as well as a supported Radeon-HD or Radeon-RX graphics board with Southern Island/Oland or Polaris-Chipsatz are required. Currently the RX driver only works with the X5000 or the announced A1222/Tabor - other systems obviously require a firmware upgrade. A Sam460 does not show any BIOS output using the latest U-Boot version but boots without any problems AmigaOS if the RX driver is installed.

In a discussion on amigaworld.net Amigakit explained that for customers of the "Plus" edition of Enhancer about 35 Euro have to be paid, owners of the standard edition have to pay about 44,50 Euro (plus taxes and charges of the online biller service). Purchasers of the package will get "a licence" for the announced second generation of the "Enhancer Software" package. (cg) (Translation: dr)

CS530 and CS540: New A500 accelerator boards in development
The Polish people Szymon 'Cizar' Paprocki and Andrzej 'Sellen' Rogozynski are working on accelerator boards for the Amiga 500 which will be equipped with processors of 68030, 68040 or 68060. Prototypes already exist. You can watch videos about the "CS530" and "CS540" on the Youtube channel of Paprocki.

All statements of the developers only are available in Polish and the boards still are in an early development stage. The following features are planned:

MC68030 (with FPU MC68882) and 040 processors, 68060 also planned
SDRAM or DDR chips as FastRAM, controlled by a Spartan6 FPGA controller
Slot for CF cards
IDE port (40 Pin)
A ARM ST32H7 microcontroller with 400Mhz, its function is not clear. Translations of third parties from the Polish say "a new chipset with access to the complete FastRAM".
NAU8822AYG-based soundcard with MP3-decoder and AHI implementation. The original Amiga signal is supposed to be taken through the card
USB
UEXT
WIFI (ESP 32 WROOM)
MicroSD slot
12-bit stereo sampler
Hardware MPEG decodierung
HDMI port
