Amiga 1200: "Magic Pack"-packing for printing
Two Amiga fans have photographed the packing of the "A1200 Magic Pack" sold by Amiga Technologies and restored it with a picture editing program:
The picture is available in BMP-format and has a solution of about 5000x4000 pixels. It is meant for owners of an A1200 whose original packing is damaged or lost.
Only modification compared with the original: In the white rectangles to the left and right of packing, usually barcodes can be found - "Prowler" and "DH" did perpetuate their names with a QR-code and a short text. This signature must not be changed if the graphic is used.

Action Adventure: Tales of Gorluth - Demo version and advance order
"Tales of Gorluth" developed by Patrick "viddi" Nevian and Javier Alcaniz is a "linear action adventure" (Nevian), which was written with the help of the game creator Backbone and ,according to the author, offers over five hours of "gameplay".
Because the English translation is about to be finished, German and English demo versions of the game were released. Tales of Gorluth requires at least a 68030 processor as well as 1 MB FastRAM.
The game will be commercially sold. On the official website the CD can be ordered in advance for 15 Euro (inclusive shipping).

20th anniversary of Commodore bankruptcy
On 29th April, 1994 Commodore, which was a few years ago second biggest computer company behind IBM, had to declare bankruptcy. With a brief press release the parent company Commodore International Limited, meanwhile based on the Bahamas, did announce the end of a big homecomputer pioneer.
Hardware developer Dave Haynie documented the last days in the Commodore headquarter in West Chester (USA) in his video "The Deathbed Vigil and other Tales of Digital Angst" (twelve minute trailer), which is sold by Amazon or which is available as part of Amiga Forever. There is a two-part (1, 2) gallery tour through the German branch, which was filmed some years ago and can be found on Youtube as well.
In the German section of amiga-news.de, during the next days a collection of texts of the former Commodore and Amiga Technologies employee report of Rainer Benda will be published again. There is a similar but English-language report of the US-American Vernon Graner.
20 years ago, the following press release announced the end of Commodore:
COMMODORE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED TO LIQUIDATE
NEW YORK, April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Commodore International Limited (NYSE:
CBU) announced today that its Board Of Directors has authorized the
transfer of its assets to trustees for the benefit of its creditors and
has placed its major subsidiary, Commodore Electronics Limited, into
voluntary liquidation. This is the initial phase of an orderly liquidation
of both companies, which are incorporated in the Bahamas, by the Bahamas
Supreme Court.
CONTACT: Hock Tan, CFO of Commodore International Limited, 215-431-9160/

MorphOS: IceFileSystem 2.12 and IceDoctor 1.6
IceFS is a 64-Bit file system for MorphOS, which among others works with checksums for all meta data and meta-level-journalling and which supports almost any sector size. With the additional programm IceDoctor, damaged IceFS file systems can be repaired or files rescued.
Changes in IceDoctor 1.6:
- Graphical bug in counter of log output fixed
- Some smaller checks/fixes added
- Erroneous characters in filenames are fixed automatically now (everything below ASCII 32 as well as ":" and "/" will be replaced with "."; IceFileSystem already rejects creating filenames with those characters by the way)
- Icedoctor.library bumbed to 1.7
- Selective salvage ("Browse volume...") now displays expected space required for salvaged files as well as space left in destination directory
