AROS: 68k-Distribution AROS Vision 1.5.3
Olaf Schönweiß has updated his AROS/68k-distribution. It is a mix of AROS and AmigaOS software (English tutorial). Version 1.5.3 includes an unregistered version of WHDLoad. Real Amiga-Kickstart-ROMs must be installed by the user.

With this solution games can be played which currently do not work with the AROS Kickstart Replacement - the author mentioned "Defender of the Crown" as an example.

The next project of Olaf Schönweiß will be a "light"-version of "Aros Vision" for real Amiga hardware. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOne X1000: Costs for used CPU about 100% higher than expected
On amigaworld.net users discussed why the AmigaOne X1000 are delivered so slowly. Trevor Dickinson from A-EON also posted a comment: "There were some minor logistical delays from Varisys set against the backdrop of rising PA-SEMI CPU (~100%) prices and other components."

In a interview one and a half year ago Dickinson specified the costs for the PA Semi-CPU in the X1000 with 500. It is not clear if this is the original price or not.

Dickinson said: "We decided to absorb the hardware price rises and not pass them on to consumers." (cg) (Translation: dr)
