Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.4 (alpha version)
X-bEnCH is a graphical user-interace with now 128 colours which replaces the Workbench for starting WHDLoad games (.slave, .exe) and requires few ressources.

According to the developer the program runs on all Amigas (OCS to AGA as well as 68000 to 68060 processor). The changes in alpha version 0.4 are listed under the title link. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Icaros Desktop 1.4.5
Paolo Besser's AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop version 1.4.5 includes an improved support of Amiga software, the game Hurrican as well as applications like Cinnamon Writer and Ignition. AMOS Professional and XAMOS also are part of the distribution.

"The new extension to AmiBridge already allow running most classic desktop applications for the Amiga computer without the need of its boot ROMs and original OS anymore. Classic software is handled by AROS itself, compiled for the Motorola 68000 processor, running in coherency mode under Janus-UAE with JIT." (snx) (Translation: dr)

PPC-Hardware: UltimatePPC-team reconsiders processor choice
The UltimatePPC team wrote: "As we are nearing the summer holidays it is time for a quick status update from our side. The last few months have been hectic as both Gideon and myself have been extremely busy with personal affairs besides trying to advance the UltimatePPC project. As we have the prototype boards in our hands we have been actively working on booting a basic kernel on the PowerPC core and interfacing the board to the Amiga bus. Parallel we are starting the software development side of things, with WarpOS support being worked on - as well as first contact with Hyperion regarding AmigaOS4 support.

We also keep an eye on feedback from the community and are evaluating the choice made for the P1013 CPU.We knew that the FPU in this processor is incompatible with the ones found on older PowerPC boards. Our original plan to fix these incompatibilities in software turns out to have more impact that we had foreseen. For this reason, we will reconsider the choice of PowerPC CPU, while continuing the development work of other important stuff on the current prototype.

So what's next? First we'll take a few weeks off for holidays and time with family. Somewhere in August we get together again. Expect a new update end of August! Happy holidays!"

Editor's note: The main feature of the UltimatePPC would have been that the used controler (as System on a Chip (SoC)) could have been accessed from "outside" (in this case from the Amiga). If a different CPU would be chosen it is doubtful whether this concept still works. (cg) (Translation: dr)
