AmigaOS 4: SimCoupe 1.01
The porting of the SDL based emulator SimCoupe by Ventzilav 'drHirudo' Tzvetkov has been available since today in version 1.01. Among other innovations joysticks are being supported now.
SimCoupe emulates the "SAM Coupé" - a Z80 based 8 bit home computer, which was built in 1989 by Miles Gordon Technology. Although this computer had, compared with other 8 bit computers of that time, relatively advanced features, it was never very successful, as the 16 bit computers (Amiga, Atari, Macintosh and PC) had already been standard. Nevertheless some software titles for this computer were published, which demonstrate the advantages of its sound and graphic abilities.
The innovations in detail:
- Joystick support (via AmigaInput)
- Better Pro-Dos boot handling
- New indicators to show the extra LMPR bits: ROM0, ROM1 and WPROT in the Debug Window
- Enhanced HDF file handling to accept v1.1 images with a large identity structure
- Improved ATA hard disk emulation
- Misc sourcecode improvements and bugfixes
- Removed unnecessary for the AmigaOS compile files from the archive, thus smaller overall size

AmiTown: Website all around Amiga Forever and WinUAE
Under the title link, Ulli Reinders has set up a website all around Amiga Forever and consequently WinUAE under the name of "Amitown."
There, he shortly introduces the emulator package Amiga Forever as such, shows screenshots of his installed AmigaOS versions 1.3, 2.1, 3.1, 3.5
and 3.9, gives away which applications are executable under AmigaOS 3.1 and higher, offers background pictures as well as some programs for download and publishes tips and tricks to refer to.
The web presence Amitown was designed in such a way that it can be displayed virtually error-free with a web browser like AWeb II as well. Purpose of this presence is to point out the possibilities of the Amiga emulator WinUAE in matters of layout and execution, and also to submit suggestions where appropriate. (snx) (Translation: cad)

individual Computers: new porducts, RoHS conformity secured, holiday
The hardware specialist individual Computers from Aachen/ Germany announced two new products for the classic Amiga, the Catweasel MK2 "anniversary edition" and an Amiga 600 turbocard, and the securing of the RoHS conformity.
Catweasel MK2 "anniversary edition"
This year celebrates the Catweasel, the universal floppy controller, its 10th anniversary. Right now, only the version for the PCI slot of
modern computers as well as the ISA version of the controller is available in the shops. individual Computers has had inquries in the last months asking for Catweasel models that can be used in classic Amiga computers. This is now possible with the Catweasel MK2 "anniversary
edition": individual reworked and re issued the successor from 1997: The Catweasel MK2 works connected to the clock port of the Amiga 1200, connected to the IDE port of the Amiga 4000 and connected to the clock port of their Zorro boards. So the complete range of classic amiga coputers is covered as the new controller works connected to the clock port of the new A600 memory card (being delivered from next week on), too.
Production of the Amiga 600 turbocard finished
After two years of development is the turbocard for the Amiga 600 now finished. It offers a 68030-33 processor clocked with 40 MHz, a 128MByte RAM option
(speed adjustable), a 512k flash memory and PCMCIA compatibility and is designed with small heat production in mind.
RoHS conformity secured
Today became the RoHS guideline of the European union europäischen Union effective. The abbreviation stands for "Restriction of
Hazardous Substances". It restricts the use of dangerous materials in the electronic production. Individual productions has taken precautions to secure the RoHS conformity within its production line.
Holiday
