Self-made project: Photos of an A500 extended to an A2000
Already two years ago Daniele Gratteri extended his Amiga 500 with a 68040 turbo card which was originally meant for an Amiga 2000 as well as with Zorro II-slots.
According to him this project was successful. You can find photos as well as English explanations on the homepage of Daniele Gratteri. As soon as he has more time he wants to use a video-slot, too.

Development environment: SimpleCat plugin for Cubic IDE
SimpleCat is a program for maintaining catalogs (tanslations). It offers more features than the cat program of the AmigaOS and MorphOS SDK: Powerful import and export functions, validity checks and a graphical user interface make the life of developers easier and the program first choice for translators.
The add-on for Cubic (Screenshot) integrates SimpleCat into the interface of the development environment, with syntax highlighting for translations and clickable log files. SimpleCat was developed by Guido Mersman and the latest version is included with kind permission of the author.

Retro Gaming: WHDLoad 16.7
With WHDLoad you can install games and scene demos on a hard drive which were originally meant only for use with disks. In addition, numerous incompabilities with newer Amiga models are fixed. Changes since the last version:
- fix: the Snoop check for custom.bplpt's against BaseMem bounds was
broken on word writes on the 68030 (DJMike)
- fix: resload_LoadFile and resload_LoadFileDecrunch has silently not
loaded data without PreLoad, bug introduced in v16.6 (Bored
Seal/Psygore)
- new: option NoResInt/S add, which disables any interrupts during
execution of resload functions
- chg: if the Slave requires AGA and that is not yet enabled in
graphics.library WHDLoad calls SetChipRev to enable it, this
obsoletes the execution of SetPatch prior to WHDLoad
- new: WHDLoadCD32 a special WHDLoad version to be used on the CD³²,
check documentation for more info
- chg: registration fee in USD adapted due currency differences, EUR
and GBP unchanged
- chg: various enhancements on the install template

eMail: Current YAM developer versionen now with SPAM-filter
The current "Nightly Builds" of the well-known eMail program YAM now have an integrated SPAM-filter. You can find a short description of the current status in the Changelog. The filter is based on the filter of Thunderbird and was adapted to YAM by Thore Böckelmann.
The so called "Nightly Builds" of YAM are developer versions which might contain bugs and therefore only should be used by experienced users. There are versions for AmigaOS 3/4 and MorphOS.
