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.)
