MorphOS: NetTools and Native identify.library
With NetTools, Illka Lehtoranta has released some little network programs. They are similar to their Miami equivalents, except smaller and PPC-native. NetPing, NetResolve and NetTraceRoute are contained in the archive.
There's also a native replacement for identify.library ready. It's for use with Scout. Although not quite complete, it delivers a better computer description of the Pegasos.

Test: Use of Solid-State Disks in Pegasos?
Ironfist of pegasos.org tested whether solid-state disks (SSD) may be used as replacement hard-drives in a Pegasos without additional components, to do this he made use of an M-Systems 256 MB iDOC (Disk-on-Chip).
The short answer reads rather like a reply to a question to Radio Eriwan: in principal, yes. MorphOS supports the hard-drive device without limitations (screenshot), but the open firmware doesn't, so currently one can't boot from an SSD hard-drive. (snx) (Translation: dm)

MorphOS: OpenTTD SVN-Snapshot v501
OpenTTD is an open source clone of the well known PC business simulation Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
Because the roadmap of OpenTTD schedules some major changes for the next version and the release may be delayed a while, Christian Rosentreter decided to relase a snapshot of the current version 0.3.4.
In comparision to the last official version there are improvements with the Network support (including some important "endian" bugfixes), the game console and with localization.
The snapshot is downloadable by the tiltle link. Additional the original data files of the Windows version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe and the powersdl.library (required: version 7+) are required. (snx) (Translation: ub)
