exception and some files still in meta cache could get lost
- FSConfig now can load/save settings to file and print settings
to the shell
- FSFormat now wipes blocks twice as fast
- Bug in job.device fixed
- Added VInfo tool: shows locks and notifies on icefs volumes

use fsconfig to turn them off if desired
- A few smaller things here and there

With version 2010.06.04_20110321 the onboard-SATA2-connection of the Sam460ex is completely finished and can be used with the sam460sata.device. But this driver only works in the PIO-mode. Future updates of the driver are supposed to support DMA. Besides, the DDR2 and Radeon-HD4650 integration were improved and in the PCI-E-1x/SATA2-menu a bug fixed.

Bageln - a small number game (Update)
Achim Kern's Hollywood-based remake of the number game Bageln is about computer-aided guessing of a three-digit number. Currently available for MorphOS only, versions for AmigaOS, WarpOS, AmigaOS 4 and AROS/i386 as well as Mac OS X and Windows will follow shortly.
A short description of Bageln: In this game, the computer chooses a secret three-digit number with the figures 0 to 9 - and you have to try to guess them. Unfortunately, you have only 9 attempts! No number is found repeated. After each attempt of guessing, the computer gives you indications in the following way:
- PICO - a number is correct, but on the wrong place
- FERMI - a number is on the correct place
- BAGELN - no number is correct
You will learn to pull ends from these indications and your results will improve by more exercise. The authors of the original program written in Basic are D. Resek and P. Rowe of Lawrence Hall of Science
in Berkeley, California. The first multimedial conversion of the program had been done Achim Kern / KeHo Software in 1998.
Playing the game: Our barmaid Eva turns all three trays and three big "X" will appear. Now it's your turn. A click with the left mouse button onto a tray raises the displayed number, by using the right mouse button it is decreased. If you have selected your three numbers click on Eva. Now Eva gives you the indications (Bageln, Pico, Fermi) as mentioned above.
Update: (19:48, 19.03.11, snx)
Meanwhile also the versions for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS/i386 and Mac OS X/PPC have been published. (snx)

A-EON Technology: Delay of board delivery
According to A-EON Technology the delivery of the Nemo boards to the beta testers will delay for about four weeks.
You can now read the press release:
London, 10th March 2011 - Following the AmigaOne X1000 Update article in the current edition of "Amiga Future" magazine we asked Adam Barnes, the Technical Director of Varisys, to provide an official Nemo progress report.
"From the horse's mouth"
We have had some problems with procurement of certain items for the revision 2 Nemo board which delayed our production plan by about 4 weeks. The situation was not helped either by the Chinese New Year celebrations. However, I'm pleased to report that these difficulties have now been overcome. We've had one remaining issue with supply of the onboard PC99 audio connector. The best delivery we could obtain for the existing connector type was a minimum order quantity of 10,000 pieces and a lead time of 12 weeks. We had an option for a direct replacement which has 6 jacks (enough for 5.1 analogue out) but unfortunately the Taiwanese supplier did not respond to our communications. Our alternative compromise plan was a triple jack which would support simple stereo audio out through the back panel, with header pins on the board to support 5.1 audio for users who want this feature. However, this was not our preferred option and eventually we managed to source an almost identical PC99 HD audio connector from an Italian company to satisfy our demand for all the Beta test boards.
We already have enough PA6T CPUs in hand and we have also secured supplies of the SB600 south bridge chip and various other long lead parts, with deliveries of all due on or before the 15th of this month, in sufficient quantities for the current schedule of revision 2 beta test boards. Typically, the production time from full kit to assembled boards is 10 days for small batches (the 5 off for approval). This timescale will be confirmed once the kit is issued out for build. The estimated lead time for the balance of beta test boards will be around 20-25 days based on standard PCB fabrication and assembly lead times.
Barnes also confirmed he was in the process of writing up a technical brief of the new dual-core XMOS subsystem. This will include a block diagram and pinouts so prospective end users can start working on the XMOS side of things.

Archiving data cassettes: UberCassette 0.02
Ian Gledhill's UberCasette converts recordings from old data cassettes to formats which are supported by several emulators and tools. The cassette has to be digitalised into a WAV-file and UberCasette converts it to TAP/T64- (C64, C16, VIC20) or UEF- (Acorn BBC/Electron) files.
The author has published UberCasette-binaries for AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, AROS and Windows. He asks for your feedback because the program is still in an early stage.
