Amiga User Rheinland: New Internet address
Oliver Eschbach writes: The homepage of Amiga User Rheinland can be found under aur.eschi-web.de with immediate effect and until further notice. For reasons that remain unexplained so far, the owner of the old domain address has changed, whereby we no longer had access to the sub-account.

Should anyone have linked to our homepage, may thus bring the Internet address to the current state please. The homepage will continue to be maintained and updated. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Elbox: New PCI board Mediator 1200 TX
Press release Elbox Computer, the company that introduced the PCI standard to Amiga, is pleased to announce the latest Mediator model - Mediator PCI 1200 TX - the successor of the Mediator PCI 1200 SX.

New firmware embedded in the CPLDs of Mediator 1200 TX allows significant speed-up of graphic card operations when hardware 2D and 3D acceleration is used in single-processor systems (68k or PPC).

The new firmware operation modes are supported by the new Mediator AmigaOS 3.x System Files provided on the enclosed Mediator Multimedia CD. Native PowerPC support will be provided in the upcoming update of AmigaOS 4.0.

Mediator PCI 1200 TX, like its predecessor, has 6 PCI slots, busmastering in all PCI slots, Power Management Interface, ATX and AT power connectors, and provides 3.3 V auxiliary supply to all PCI slots.

Mediator PCI 1200 TX is dedicated for A1200 in D-BOX 1200, Mirage 1200, E/BOX 1200 (Power, Winner), EZ-Z4 and Infinitiv tower cases.

Included with the Mediator PCI 1200 TX is the Mediator Multimedia CD with new versions of drivers for Sound, TV tuner, Ethernet 10 Mbps, Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps and Graphic PCI cards.

For the list of currently supported PCI cards see Mediator Driver Guide. For more information, see Mediator PCI 1200 TX website.

Pricing and availability

The Mediator PCI TX will be on sale from 27th February 2008 with suggested retail price EUR 195.95 (plus local taxes and shipping costs).

To locate an authorized distributor or purchase product in Elbox Online Store visit our website.

Upgrading Mediator 1200 SX to the new Mediator 1200 TX will be possible. The TX Upgrade program for Mediator 1200 SX users will be announced at a later time. (snx)

AmigaOS 4: FTP-Client PFTP 0.2 (update)
PFTP (screen shot) by Peter Gordon offers unlimited windows, server-to-server transfers and drag'n drop support. Changes in version 0.2:
  • Now copes with multi-line responses that don't start every line with a code and a dash. Thanks to James Carroll for the report.
  • Fixed a DSI that could occasionally happen during FTP to FTP transfers
  • Properly copes with 125 responses for the LIST command. Thanks to Dwayne Jarvis for the report.
  • Now updates CPS information for active transfers even when they stall.
  • When warning you about potentially overwriting a local file, it gives you the current stats about the existing files size and date rather than the ones in the local browser, in case they have changed in the meantime.
  • When sending a local file, it rechecks the local files length before starting the transfer instead of relying on the possibly stale value in the local browser window.
  • Properly copes with servers that don't put a leading zero in the hours column. Thanks to Dwayne Jarvis for his help nailing this one.
  • Reordered the transfer queue columns so that the basic information is all to the left and the source/destination directories are at the far end (file,%,cps,srcdir,destdir instead of srcdir/file,destdir,%,cps).
  • You can now specify the path to the ssh executable if you don't wish to keep it in the system searchpath. Simply specify the path where ssh resides in a "SSHPATH" tooltype. Sorry I can't remember who suggested this.
  • You can now specify a local path to go to when you connect to a server (see docs).
  • Transfers in the queue now have a fancy progress bar behind the percentage readout.
  • Passwords are now encrypted in the .servers file. Old .server files with plaintext passwords will be automatically converted when you quit PFTP or connect to a server.

Update: (21.02.2008, 16:00, cg)

Meanwhile an improved version is available where one minor bug (requesting drive "Blah:") has been removed. (cg) (Translation: ub)

Back to the Roots: Server work
Ralf Steines writes: In a few hours we will take down our team machine to replace it with a ten times faster and bigger machine. If all goes right this will last a few hours only.

The team machine runs all hosted projects (such as winuae.net) and the upload FTP, so these are unreachable for the time the move lasts. The main archive and the anonymous FTP should not be affected by this.

The team server needs a new os and new hardware. Once the machine is configured completely (mostly an invisible task) we'll look forward to new updates.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

AROS: Status update February 2008
On the website of the AROS-Team there is an overview about the latest news concerning the AmigaOS-clone "AROS Research Operating System" (AROS):

Michal Schulz is working hard on porting AROS to Acube Systems SAM440 board, and he got some interesting results.

Nic Andrews is working on Wanderer, in order to improve it and fix some annoying bugs. He is now "slowly hacking away at reworking the rendering code for wanderer iconlist class. The intermediate goal is to allow icon windows to buffer the icon/background rendering so, for instance, using the tiled rendering mode for iconlist backgrounds wont cause noticable icon flickering as it currently does".

Michael Grunditz has officially released the first SimpleMail 0.32 betas for the AROS Research Operating System. SimpleMail has most of the features currently needed in a modern email client, and it's still growing. The AROS port can be downloaded from the Archives.

João "Hardwired" Ralha has recently written some good manuals for AROS. However, they are not finished, and he is currently looking for help. Available documents are the AROS User Manual (50% complete), the AROS Shell Manual (70%) and the AROS Istall Manual (25%).

Additionally Alain Greppin has ported TeXlive to AROS and Tomek 'Error' Wiszkowski has published a AROS-version of his CD-/DVD-burning program Frying Pan. The AROS-file system FFS was improved and got proper validation. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: strangé 0.20, Gread 1.0k

strangé 0.20

strangé is a MUI-based AmigaGuide-/HTML-viewer, which based HTMLView.mcc. Changes in version 0.20:
  • Hemmm removed the fake iconify on MorphOS; it had some strange side effects that made it not usable in a clean way
  • Changed lineread.c to dynamically allocate buffers. There were problems with genesis and old fixed buffer scheme.
  • Fixed popfile.c not freying an allocated buffer
  • Fixed html.c double allocating URLs

Gread 1.0k

Tom 'Amigaharry' Duins Text viewer Gread was also updated as Version 1.0k and includes several small fixes.
