Commodore USA: New web site, Amiga 1000/2000/3000 models, Amiga Workbench 5.0
The relaunch of Commodore USA's web site doesn't seem to be finished yet, but one can already locate first hints of the previously announced line of "Amiga" branded devices: Apparently, Commodore plans to offer computers labeled "Amiga 1000", "Amiga 2000" and "Amiga 3000" that will come with an operating system called "Workbench 5.0" preinstalled.
According to the description ("latest and greatest software the open source world has to offer", "Word compatible Office Suite"), the latter seems to be a relabeled Linux distribution, Apparently, emulators will be included aswell, according to Commodore USA Workbench 5.0 will be "100% Commodore compatible" and contain emulators for the original Amiga aswell as older Commodore computers.
But the rights to the Workbench trademark are not Commodore's yet: Cloanto (PersonalPaint, Amiga Forever) is trying for several years to register this mark in the United States - the relevant litigation is still ongoing. Barry 'digitex' Altman states on amigaworld.net that this dispute will be handled by the attorneys.
There's not much information about the hardware that is going to be used for these new "Amiga" computers, we only know that they will be based on standard x86 motherboards. The pictured black desktop cases are made by Aumro. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Sam440ep: Firmware Update U-Boot 1.3.1c
Press release: ACube Systems is pleased to announce the release of another update of the U-Boot-Firmware for its Sam440ep- and Sam440ep-flex motherboards. Changes in this version:
- Fixed wrong setting for the MMUCR register
- Introduced a new Video Option: Console. Setting it to "Silent" will produce a more nice looking boot screen (see picture below)
- On Sam440ep-flex: if a SiliconMotion 502 is present, and it's not set as primary video card, the SM502 I/O and MEM access are disabled in PCI_COMMAND register after initialization. This prevent some problems when booting AOS4.1 in a dual gfx card setup.
- On Sam440ep-mini: if a Radeon PCI card is present, and the onboard video card is not set as primary video card, the onboard video card I/O and MEM access are disabled in PCI_COMMAND register after initialization. This prevent some problems when booting AOS4.1 in a dual gfx card setup.
- Solved a problem when assigning IRQ to a video card behind a PCI to PCI Express bridge (RadeonHD)
- Video unit and Sprite unit are switched off on SM502
- Solved a problem with the Blitter unit registers not reset to default values at powerup on SM502
- Now it's possible to set baudrate to 230400 and 307200 bps (for faster debug output)
- Changed boot logo
- Reduced font size
The installation archives can be downloaded from the Sam440ep or Sam440ep-flex site.
PLease note that U-Boot and U-Boot Updater include GPL-licenced code and thus are published under GPL. The sources are available on the mentioned sites as well.
