Individual Computers: ACA500-version for Amiga 2000 announced
A week ago, Jens Schönfeld announced in a forum post a version of the starter accelerator board ACA500 for the Amiga 2000 (teaser advertisement).

The board will have an IDE-port as well as CF card slot with Hotplug-support which can be installed instead of a second disk drive. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Amiga-Emulator: WinFellow 0.5.2
A new version of the Windows-based Amiga-emulator "WinFellow" has been released. The most important changes of this update:
  • new display configuration options for setting scale factor (1x and 2x, retaining a proper aspect ratio), and scaling strategy (solid/scanline); inclusion of higher screen resolutions to allow use of 2x windowed modes
  • support for 2x mode in Amiga Forever
  • support for model presets to quickly get started setting up model specific configurations (a number of presets is already included)
  • automatic interlace compensation (WinFellow will automatically detect interlaced graphics and perform interlace compensation; this can be disabled in various options, but is on by default for new configurations)
  • lower system requirements (an SSE capable processor is no longer required)
  • Windows 8.1 added to the supported operating systems
Additionally the following bugs have been fixed:
  • re-initialize the emulation session when a change of display adapter properties (color depth, different graphics adapter) is detected
  • cancelling the configuration dialog no longer performs changes to the configuration
  • support for sprites in hires dual playfield mode was fixed, making previously invisible objects visible on the screen
  • sprite DMA was being disabled instead of waiting, causing invisible sprites
  • PC -2 saved on the stack for address exception
  • proper "short frame" when display is interlaced and frame is short
  • fix copper list load
  • failure to find valid screen mode for screens with unusual refresh rates (Microsoft VirtualPC, ...)
  • fixes for several crashes to desktop caused by NULL pointer exceptions
  • cancelling an undo dialog in Amiga Forever will no longer close the emulation session
  • reset of Amiga Forever emulation session no longer causes input devices to no longer function
  • fixed problem with Amiga Forever clipping calculations for left offsets <16 (would lead to only half the screen being visible) or one of the offset values = 0 (would ignore the offsets completely)

Alinea Computer becomes X1000-distributor (update)
According to Trevor Dickinson of A-EON in his latest Blog, the PPC-computers "AmigaOne X1000" will be sold by the German trader Alinea Computer. In the Internet-shop of the company the X1000 is not listed so far. All interested users are to contact Alinea via eMail.

Additional to the well-known complete systems with preinstalled AmigaOS 4.1 there also is a dualboot-option with an installed Linux. We do not have information about prices yet. According to unconfirmed information the former distributor Amigakit listed a X1000 complete system with about 3100 Euro.

Update: (16.10.13, 14:30, cg)

In an article on a1k.org, Simon "AmigaPapst" Neumann from Alinea explained that the exact price depends on the used components - he expects a price of "about 2800 Euro". (cg) (Translation: dr)
