`14.May.2022`	ACube Systems: Fifteen years of Sam440ep Press release: Dear customers, It was the year 2007 when we introduced our first “baby”, the Sam440ep. Fifteen years ago. We designed and produced the Sam440ep, a lovely mini-itx motherboard that many enjoyed running AmigaOS 4, AROS and Linux. At that time, we, a bunch of mad amigans, resolved to do our best to bring this hardware to life for all the Amiga Community because it was in dire need of a new computer platform to run AmigaOS. Without the Sam440ep, the future of AmigaOS would have been very difficult. After all these years, just as the latest batch of Sam460ex LE is being produced, we choose to release the electrical schematics of the Sam440ep (PDF file) to the community. We hope many of you will be happy to see one of the first image of our first project. (dr) [News message: 14. May. 2022, 08:23] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`14.May.2022`	Amiga 500 HDD LED Adapter Matthias 'DJBase' Münch has designed a simple HDD-LED adapter for the Amiga 500, which visually displays the activity of a hard disk on accesses (e.g. on a Warp 560, Vampire 500 and many other expansion cards) via the original LED board (DISK LED). The new revision C adds LED indicators for Power, Reset and Use. A YouTube video shows the adapter in action. (dr) [News message: 14.

`14.May.2022` McGeezer	Preview video: Kung Fu action 'Devil's Temple' Devil's Temple features 10 stages of intense arcade kung fu action based on the classic Irem games Kung Fu Master and Vigilante. Over 300 frames of animation were packed into the game and every cycle of performance was used on the Amiga A500. The game will adapt to upgrades, so additional chip ram will result in better music, AGA will provide additional colors and a greater variety of enemies in the game. Yesterday, a new preview video was released for the game in development, showing levels one through six. However, the developer points out that there are still "many annoying bugs to be fixed." The game is already available for pre-order as a boxed edition. Likewise, a demo version of the first stage is available on itch.io. (dr) [News message: 14.

`13.May.2022` t3n Magazin (Webseite)	Soundbar: Sonos Ray After we had reported about 'SonosController', the Hollywood program written by Michael Rupp for controlling Sonos speakers, one or the other finger of our readers was possibly already on the order button of such a product, but aborted the process abruptly because of the proud price: so a Sonos Beam costs 499 Euros, a Sonos Arc even 999 Euros. According to the German t3n Magazine, the Sonos Ray is now available at a lower price of 299 Euros. Instead of Dolby Atmos and HDMI, the soundbar offers Dolby Digital 5.1 and an optical connection in contrast to the higher-priced alternatives. When asked, Michael Rupp confirmed to us that his SonosController software should work with all Sonos products (and compatible ones) without any problems and without the need for adjustments.
