Poll: How much 68k-compatibility do you expect of a x86-AmigaOS?
Under the title link amiga-news.de hast started a poll which is written in German. Giving you the possibility to take part as well here is the English translation of the poll:
Question: How much 68k-compatibility a Amiga-like operating system at least should have got so you would buy it for 120 to 150 Euro for your x86-computer?
Answers:
- No compatibility at all. The current developments for the Amiga and some ports would be sufficient.
- A simple possibility to start 68k-applications with an emulator (UAE-integration) would be sufficient.
- I need the same 68k-compatibility as it is integrated in AmigaOS4 or MorphOS.
- I would only buy it if it works under WinUAE.
- I would never buy an operating system for x86 which is compatible to Amiga.
Thanks for your participation!

AROS: Instant Messenger SabreMSN 0.41
James "jahc" Carroll has ported his MSN-client SabreMSN to AROS. UTF8-support is still not implemented under AROS but will be added with the next update. Further limitations are the same as in the original AmigaOS-version:
- Sometimes the SSL stuff fails when trying to connect, so the only thing you can do is keep clicking connect after it fails each time
- The list of Online contacts isnt always sent in full when I first connect. I havent found an answer to that problem yet. So it appears like everyones offline, or most of your online contacts are offline. Reconnecting to the server once or twice in a row seems to restore the list properly sometimes.
- Sometimes Sabre reapers. I've only had this happen twice in the last few weeks though. It seems to be dying on the MUI input loop, but maybe I've done something illegal before that call..
- Newly added contacts arent added to the list, you need to reconnect to see them
- Sometimes outgoing file transfers report during mid-transfer: "The file transfer was unsuccessful because your computer is out of disk space. Try deleting some files, and then ask the sender to try the transfer again."
- Sabre uses the older MSN file transfer protocol, so many recent MSN clients fail when trying to send a file to Sabre.

OctaMED SoundStudio: Further development started
Last year a developer was searched who could develop further OctaMED SoundStudio. Alfred Faust will do that. OMSS is one of the first 8-channel-tracker. It is available for free.
In a mailinglist the developer who is well-known as programmer of Bars'n'Pipes Seine gave his first impressions of the status of the source code of version 1.03c. If you want to support the project you can give donations and thus can take part in the beta test. Alfred Faust asks to give him a little time because he has to take a closer look at the assembler.
