Installation guide: Debian Sarge (PPC) on an Amiga 4000 PPC
Harald "Rotzlöffel" Meinzer has written a step by step tutorial for the installation of Debian PPC. In the first part he explains how to prepare the harddrive, to install the older Debian-version "Woody" as well as afterwards to upgrade to Debian Sarge.
The tutorial is meant to be read by users of an Amiga 4000 with PPC-board. Users of an A1200 do require different kernel-files and have to changes some parts. All users who are interested in a tutorial for an Amiga please contact Meinzer.

AROS: Icaros Desktop 1.5.1
Paolo Besser has released version 1.5.1 of his AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop. Now a new kernel is used which will provide more stability and fix the boot problems of some of the motherboards. The keyboard shortcut Control-Alt-Delete activates a cold start, and Control-lAros-rAROS a warm start.
Additionally the update includes the game Ri-Li, the backup tool BackupCopy and updates of several components of the Distribution.
Hint:
Originally Icaros 1.5.1 was delivered with a buggy version of the FAT-handler which could destroy the filesystems on FAT12-/FAT16 media. If you have already installed the update then check if the new version was installed: You can recognize it by looking at the name of the download archive. The name of the new version was completed by an"-1": "IcarosLive_1_5_1-1.7z.exe" instead of " IcarosLive_1_5_1.7z.exe".

USB: New edition of Thylacine canceled
In October all documents on the Zorro 2 plug-in card Thylacine were released which made it possible to recreate the low-cost USB-controller. Users on a1k.org expressed the wish to have the original design reworked and then sold the construction kit at cost price.
Actually during the first eight weeks several revisions of a reworked layout have been presented which the could have been produced as prototypes. After more than one month of silence the initiator "crasbe" explained that he has canceled the project which was called "Nova-Thylacine".
He has suspend the project in order to prevent "screwing up anybodies business". A commercial competing product which "is not or at least not much more" expensive than the Nova-Thylacine will be available "at the latest by the next quarter".

Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.8.0

- Alien Breed - Spezial Edition 92
- Alien Breed 2
- Lemmings
- Pinball Fantasies

- Added support for auto-driver detection.
- Audio
- While disk access, audio performance is much better now.
- Added support for the A500 lowpass-filter. Not enabled by default.

- Fixed incorrect extended-address bug.
- CPU
- Splitted address-types of ADDQ/SUBQ into separate functions for more speed.
- Added bus-read/write cycles tables. For internal use only.
- CIA
- I decided to port the latest cia-code from WinUAE while i was trying to find a bug.
Well, the bug is still there. Let's keep the code nevertheless.
- GUI
- Added info box of supported drivers.
- Added a 'Chipset'-section and various options.
- Packed the main GUI.
- Common
- Added support for easy URL sharing. E.g. to show the Multica-demo to a friend,
one may send the link "http://scriptedamigaemulator.net/#Multica"
and the demo will start immediately. (thanks mrdoob)
- Many small optimizations.

TCP stack: Roadshow update for MorphOS
Press release: Since today there is an update available, so roadshow can also be used on MorphOS. Roadshow is much faster than the internal TCP / IP stack for MorphOS.
Please note, that with MorphOS a manual installation of roadshow is required. The supplied installation script will not run under MorphOS. The user should therefore familiar with the operating system.
The manually installed Roadshow is now directly usable and requires no further intervention to boot. New sample files for the network usage on the Pegasos/Pegasos II, and for Apple hardware are also included.
The update can be downloaded for free on the Support homepage Roadshow.
About Roadshow
Roadshow is an Amiga TCP/IP stack, that allows you to connect to the Internet, to access your e-mail, web pages, chat, etc. It can also be used to access and exchange files within your local home network.
Roadshow is one of the fastest, if not THE fastest Amiga TCP/IP stacks.
Some features include:
- Amiga-ised configuration utilities rather than the terse and somewhat cryptic Unix legacy tools
- DHCP configuration for Ethernet devices
- "TCP:" device support, for use with, for example, ARexx scripts
- Enhanced & cleaned-up software development kit, that includes the complete source code to all the configuration tools and sample programs

Preview: Minimig box with A1000-design
With the PC Thomas 'Tommes' Koch has drawn a box for the Minimig sold by ACube which is inspired by the design of the Amiga 1000. He has designed several variations. He will have the one produced in serial production which is shown here.
Currently different possibilities are being discussed, e.g. the 3D-print or financing series with 150 boxes which would mean a price of 150 Euro for one unit. With the 3D-print the price for one unit would obviously be about 200 Euro but then could be produced in very small quantities.

Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.81 (beta)
X-bEnCH is a graphical user-interface with up to 128 colours which replaces the Workbench for starting WHDLoad-games (.slave, .exe) and and uses low computer resources. According to the developer the programm works on all Amigas (OCS to AGA) with 68000 to 68060 processors and uses little virtual memory.
Changes in this release:
- Fixed the fade to black issue on init. (Should work now with highgfx mode)
- Fixed the refresh timing speed with fast cpu.
- Fixed the display redraw bug in the Prefs when switching tabs.
- Added the "Main Menu" prefs tab.
- Added an on/off switch for the main menu music.
- Added an on/off switch for the main menu starfield. (usefull if your migy is a bit too slow.)

AmigaOS 4: Dragon-/Tandy-Emulator XRoar 0.29.1
XRoar ported by Ventzislav Tzvetkov emulates the 8-Bit-systems Dragon and Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer. A minimal firmware is included in the archive but for real compatibility a ROM-image of the emulated computers is required.

- Underlying video module rewrite
- VDG sub-scanline mode switching more accurate (CSS & !INT/EXT delayed)
- Use vertex and texture coord arrays in OpenGL code
- Alias '²' to Clear for French keyboards. TODO: generic key bind ability
- Fake ACIA responses to fix 32K mode autorepeat. TODO: real ACIA support
- Curses video module removed - incompatible with new VDG/video code
- SDL YUV video module tries harder to find accelerated overlay
- "Becker" port supported in RS-DOS
- Various CPU timing fixes
- Hitachi 6309 support (unverified) with "-machine-cpu 6309"
