AROS: First alpha version of transparent 68k-emulator Emumiga
Magnus Öberg's Emumiga is supposed to make it possible to transparently use AmigaOS 3 applications under AROS without having to use an Amiga emulator. Additionally Emumiga is meant for being an interface between 68k-code and the native AROS system calls (currently supported system calls and structures).
Up to now only the two appliactions "Dir" and "Clock" from the AmigaOS 3-distribution were tested.

Videos and pictures of VCF, AmigaOne X1000 Status
On Saturday in Bletchley (Great Britain) the 25th anniversary of the Amiga was celebrated. Meanwhile some pictures (1, 2, 3, 4) and videos (Youtube: 1, 2, 3, 4) were published which focus on Sam460 and AmigaOne X1000 computers. On both computers AmigaOS 4 was demonstrated.
According to Trevor Dickinson of A-EON during his presentation of the AmigaOne X1000 (Youtube: part 1, part 2), AmigaOS 4 runs on the computers for a while but only as of recently the computer boots from a harddrive. The price of the complete system will be about 1800 Euro.
On pictures and videos it is to be seen that the graphic output is very slow and that PCI-based model is used. According to Stéphane "sg2" Guillard from the AmigaOS 4-team on amigaworld.net this is not a general driver problem: his X1000 has a PCIe-Radeon graphic board and SATA-drives.

A-EON Technology: Varisys hardware partner
Press release:
A-EON and Varisys announce partnership
London, 17th June 2010 - A-EON Technology CVBA and Varisys Ltd., are pleased to announce their partnership in the development of the AmigaOne X1000 hardware platform for AmigaOS.
Varisys Ltd. were identified as the ideal hardware partner for the ambitious project to create a new, genuinely modern computer system to run AmigaOS 4.x in late 2008, even before the formal creation of A-EON Technology. In early 2009, Varisys Ltd. began work on developing a new PowerPC based motherboard, codenamed Nemo, which would form the heart of the new AmigaOne X1000 computer.
After months of design and testing, Varisys delivered the first Nemo prototypes in late 2009 and have now completed a Revision 2 design, which will be supplied to beta testers under the recently announced Extended Beta Test Program.
A-EON Technology director Trevor Dickinson said: "We are very pleased to reveal Varisys as our AmigaOne X1000 hardware partner. They have a proven track record for delivering high quality products on time and to budget. Their extensive experience with PowerPC and parallel processing solutions makes them our ideal technical partners, and with their help we can revitalise the AmigaOne platform".
Varisys Managing Director Paul Gentle said: "We are equally pleased to be working with A-EON Technology and we believe our previous background and experience will prove vital in helping to make the AmigaOne X1000 a success." Adam Barnes, Varisys co-founder, added: "The Nemo motherboard design introduced some new and interesting technical challenges but we are extremely pleased with the results. Revision 2 of the Nemo board has recently been completed and will form a solid foundation for the A1-X1000 and beyond."
Visitors to the VCF Exhibition at Bletchley Park on Saturday, June the 19th, will be able to meet some of the Varisys team on the joint A-EON Technology / Hyperion Entertainment stand.
About Varisys Ltd.
Varisys is a producer of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products and provider of bespoke hardware design and manufacturing services for industrial and embedded computing applications. The High Wycombe, UK, based company was founded in 2000 by Paul Gentle and Adam Barnes, and since then has earned a reputation for delivering high-quality products with a specialisation in PowerPC and FPGA hardware. Varisys have customers in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, military applications and telecommunications, and are perhaps best known for their development of the PowerPC G4 motherboard used in the immensely popular WholeHog III lighting control console. For more information, see the Varisys website.
About A-EON Technology CVBA

About the AmigaOne X1000
The AmigaOne X1000 is a new high-end AmigaOS hardware platform scheduled for release during the summer of 2010. By providing the AmigaOS platform with a high power dual-processor CPU, modern interface standards, high-end graphics and Xcore technology, the X1000 will launch a new era of modern Amiga computing.

WolnyCD_CX 0.3
A new version of WolnyCD_CX has been released by Dariusz Gawerski for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS. This tool gives you the possibility to set the speed of any CD drive. It should work with most of the ATAPI drives and part of the SCSI drives. It makes the drive to be more silent and in most cases it improves and speeds up CD read.
In version 0.3 there is a new Command option. Using it you can automatically run any other tool. By definition it should help you to handle CD/DVD discs more easier (it works with any drive). Furthermore, option Prefs was fixed as well as execution of the program itself. The archive does also include the source code. (snx)

Firefox port: Timberwolf Alpha 1 for AmigaOS 4
Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden have published a first alpha version of the Firefox port. The authors point out that that this alpha version "crashes very often" and is very slow.
The first launch of the application takes a lot of time. Besides the window is much bigger than screen - in order to make it smaller you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRAL-ALT and the mouse.
Known bugs: Mostly menus are shown properly but the entries cannot be chosen with the mouse. With "Alt" and the a character you can open a certain menu. With the cursors and Return you can choose a menu. "Boxes" on websites are not shown properly and may destroy the graphical user-interface of the browser.

MorphOS: Origin Web Browser 1.8
Fabien "Fab" Coeurjoly has published an update of the Origyn Web Browser for MorphOS. As usual there are two different versions of the Browsers: OWB-lite, which is also part of the MorphOS 2.5, does not have any support for the SVG-format. Thus it uses less memory.
Version 1.8 can now play videos with Overlay in full screen mode. This causes less cpu-usage of the processor. Additionally the user can execute own JavaScript files in the browser similar to the Firefox-extension Greasemonkey.

Public Release of MorphOS 2.5 & Introduction of eMac Support
Press release: The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 2.5, the fifth new OS version since the debut of MorphOS 2.0 in the same month two years ago. MorphOS 2.5 finally adds the Apple eMac to its list of officially supported platforms. In addition to the extended hardware support, existing users will benefit from various bug fixes and a few new features. For an overview of the included changes, please read our release notes.
We strongly urge owners of eMac computers to carefully read our installation and troubleshoot guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 2.5 is available for download in our files section.
Special anniversary price:
Celebrating the forthcoming second anniversary of the release MorphOS 2.0 properly, a MorphOS-keyfile is now offered for the special price of 111.11 Euro (inclusive 19% VAT) - which is the same price that the first cistomers of version 2 of MorphOS had to pay two years ago in 2008.
