`19.Apr.2025` Oliver Achten / Alinea Computer (ANF)	Announcement and pre-order campaign: AmiGUS sound card After 1 year of development time, we are proud to announce a new and exciting piece of hardware for the Amiga in 2025: the AmiGUS soundcard. Oliver Achten is responsible for the hardware development of the card. He developed the card with passion and attention to detail and also perfected the drivers in collaboration with his software team. Alinea Computer will be responsible for the production and support of the card. GUS stands for "Great Unbelievable Sound", and that is exactly what we will be offering - a quantum leap in quality for Amiga sound cards. No less than 24-bit, 192kHz is the premise here, and the good news is that this quality can be achieved on any Amiga, thanks to a fully featured hardware synth and mixing engine and CODEC chip for compressed sound formats. Our goal is to bring high quality music production and reproduction back to the Amiga, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone.

`15.Apr.2025`	iComp: ACA1240/1260 now available for all customers ACA from iComp (individual Computers) is a modern turbocard series for various classic Amiga models. The fast version for the Amiga 1200 holding a 68040 or 68060 processor has been available to interested parties for a few days now. The card was first mentioned at the end of 2018 and has already been delivered to iComp's existing customers since February of this year. Jens Schönfeld mentions in the current announcement that not all planned features are yet included on the card. At this year's Revision demoparty in Saarbrücken, an Amiga 1200 with an ACA1260 at 100 MHz is running for the AGA/060 Demo Competition, according to iComp. Sales of the ACA1240 and ACA1260 are limited to one card per customer. Interested parties must therefore register on the iComp website before purchasing. (nba) [News message: 15.
