AROS: Interview with Michal Schulz (English)
Paul J. Beel has carried out an interview with AROS developer Michal Schulz within the scope of his blog "The AROS Show." Herein, among other things, in addition to his personal career as programmer, he also describes what AROS lacks most desperately at present, in his opinion: that is particularly a better documentation for developers, reportedly, in addition to more drivers as well as a complete compiler toolchain.
Michael Schulz has contributed, among other things, the native bootability on x86 systems, the first versions of the trackdisk.device and the ide.device, a new ata.device, as well as a range of drivers, to AROS. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Beta testers for Prometheus PCI-Board wanted
For the new firmware of the Prometheus pci board (which allows full pci dma at all four pci slots of the Prometheus and 100MBit / for the first time with it) E3B is urgently looking for beta testers.
Interested people should possibly live in Germany (headword: postage costs), own a functional amiga system and a Prometheus (firmware revision doesn't matter), run dma cards (like 100MBit RTL8139, usb NEC) in their system and should have a tolerable knowledge of it.
Anybody who wants to assist bringing the Prometheus board one important step further, can contact Michael Böhmer atE-Mail. (ps) (Translation: ts)

Ports of Quake I-III were tested on a Pegasos II/G4 with the graphics cards Radeon 9200SE, Voodoo 3 3500TV and Radeon 9000 Pro All in Wonder.
Conclusion: "All games ran smoothly and without trouble - except the fatal try to set a 1600x1200 gaming resolution with the Voodoo 3."
Update: (08:33, 11.11.05, snx)
The test report has been translated into the English language meanwhile, thus the title link has been changed accordingly. (snx) (Translation: ts)

IOSPIRIT GmbH: PayPal now supported
Felix Schwarz writes:
"Our express shop does now also accept payments via PayPal.
With the addition of PayPal to the repertoire of possible methods of payment, we are realising a frequently expressed wish of our customers. Already previously our customers could choose between pre-payment via bank transfer and cash as well as a range of creditcards, namely Visa, Mastercard/Eurocard and American Express.
By supporting PayPal, new and interesting possibilities are created, especially for our international customers. Through PayPal, bank transfers and direct debits without high fees (or any at all) are now available in many countries.
You can learn more about PayPal at http://www.paypal.com/".

Browser: Status update for Paihia development
Under the title link, a status update for the development status of Paihia was published, a browser planned for all Amiga systems.
Reportedly, the CSS engine is currently as good as done and is checked using the W3C test suite. The language parts of EcmaScript are also complete, whereas the object library is not, yet. The Document Object Model in Version Level 3, on the other hand, is implemented only to 20%.
Reportedly, all this and the source code of the Paihia Web-Engine requires less than 700 KB uncompressed, and is compiled by Visual Studio to a binary file that is only around 300 KB in size.
Grande Paihia should become a modern, small, fast and portable web browser, which fully supports XML, HTML 4, CSS 2.1, DOM Level 3 and EcmaScript 3. The browser, according to the author, is written from scratch and is based on no existing web software. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: RockBEAT 1.2.1
RockBEAT is a simple software drum machine for AmigaOS 4 by James Carroll. It is a tool for musicians that allows you to create drumming tracks.
It can create multiple tracks, each one being 4x 4/4 measures with 16th notes. You can save individual tracks as WAV files, or the whole thing as one big song. You can drop in your own 16 Bit 44100 Hz PCM WAV samples in the drumsamples folder if you like.
Version 1.2.1 fixes an important bug. The WAV files that were generated by RockBEAT had an incorrect header value.
The demo is restricted to 10 minutes. If you like it, you can purchase a keyfile from the author for 15 US-Dollar. (snx)

MorphOS: DigiFilter 1.0
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released DigiFilter 1.0 today - a tool for designing digital FIR filters ("finite impulse response").
Unlike other applications limited to typical lowpass, highpass,
bandpass and bandstop frequency responses, or limited set of frequency
points, DigiFilter features graphical frequency response editor.
The program uses windowing design technique with rectangle, triangle, Blackman and Kaiser windows up to 2048 taps.
Designed responses may be stored to file and loaded later. Set of tap multipliers for a designed filter may be saved to a text file as a set of floating point numbers.
