NetBSD 6.0 for Amiga/68k
Version 6.0 of NetBSD supports a lot of plattforms, e.g. the Amiga. During the last months several new drivers have been added to the Amiga-port. Among others the SCSI-host of a BlizzardPPC or the PCI-busboards G-Rex and Mediator are supported.
The website NetBSD/amiga still has been not updated and refers to the old version 5.1.2. On the official FTP-server NetBSD/amiga 6.0 is available. An Amiga with 68020 CPU and a MMU, a harddrive as well as at least 24 MB virtual memory are required. NetBSD/amiga also runs under WinUAE (Version 2.3.0 or higher).

New features and updates:
- GUI is finally fully resizeable! Configurable GUI font.

without need to rerun the emulator.

- RTG monitor (if multiple monitors) selection added to GUI.
- RTG hardware sprite and hardware vblank emulation are now optional.
- Chipset "Wait for Blitter" too fast CPU workaround added, enabled by default, fixes most graphics
glitches if program does not wait for the blitter, more compatible than immediate blitter.
- Optional fake 1G directory harddrive size limit for old programs that think drive is full or has
negative space if drive is bigger than 2G. Can be changed on the fly.
- Added disable notification icon option.
- Added blank unused displays(s) (opens full screen topmost black window(s)) option.

- AutoVSync 100Hz/120Hz capable monitor support added.
- Low latency vsync and legacy vsync stability improved.
- Full PC hardware interlaced mode support.
- 68060 missing integer instructions are not anymore emulated if more compatible CPU checkbox is checked.
- Chipset emulation improvements. (EyeQlazer/Scoopex, Blerkenwiegel/Scoopex, No Way Demo/Academy,
Brian the Lion AGA, SuperPlus monitor mode)
- Sometimes appearing Windows "no disk in drive" dialogs that point to missing harddrive path are gone.
- Audio emulation quality improved.
- Parallel port sampler emulation audio quality improved.
- Lots of Input panel improvements. (qualifiers, custom events etc)
- Easy to use debug logging option added.
- Game Ports panel Test mode can be used to test any kind of input event, not just joystick events.

Bug fixes of previous verions:
- Add Harddrive dialog didn't list all harddrives on some Windows XP systems.

- Extended ADF write support was accidentally disabled.
- "ALT-TAB or middle mouse button untraps mouse - F12 opens settings" window title was missing.

- Random unexplained graphics glitches when cycle-exact CPU enabled and bsdsocket emulation was in use.
- Some chipset mode on the fly configuration changes caused blank screen when returning back to RTG mode.
- Volume control in WASAPI exclusive mode didn't work.

USB-board: Design of "Thylacine" released, possibly reissue as construction kit
Thylacine USB is a low-cost USB-controller which was introduced 2002 and on a "full length" Zorro 2 plugin-card hosts an USB 1.1-port. The developers have released all information which are necessary for the production of a reissue by third persons.
For the Thylacine USB there is a Poseidon-driver which works together with version 4.4 of USB-Stacks which is available for free. A possible reisue of the hardware as a construction kit is currently discussed (German) on a1k.org.
Already 10 years ago there were reports which gave the impression that the Thylacine only works with selected USB-hardware without any problems. On a1k.org (all in German) Poseidon author Chris "Platon42" Hodges, Michael Boehmer from E3B and Jens Schönfeld (Individual Computers) warn of the quality of the used USB-chip (SL811) as well as of the Poseidon driver.
It must be said that all three critics might not be completely objective: Jens Schönfeld obviously has plans for an USB-hardware and Boehmer/Hodges are going to publish a reissue of the Subway: According to them a third person apparently has licenced the design of the clockport-extension of E3B and the Poseidon-drivers of Hodges and thus avoided the problems.
Actually the Subway now is available in the Vesalia-shop again but currently with indefinite date of delivery.
