A1000 expansion: 'Parceiro' provides Fast-RAM, SD card slot and RTC
'Parceiro' (Portuguese: "Partner") is an expansion for the A1000 which comes in a thin plastic case - fitting to the computer - plugged in the lateral expansion port of the Amigas. It provides 8 MB Fast-RAM, a micro SD slot accessible from the outside with a 2 GB FAT32-formatted SD card as well as a real-time clock.

You cannot boot from this SD card but the producer provides a detailed tutorial explaining how to create "KickWork" disk. Additional to the Kickstart image it contains a Workbench as well as all required drivers and utilities for mounting the sd card and reading the real-time clock.

According to a review on Youtube, the card seems only be produced in very small numbers. If you are interested you can pre-order a 'Parceiro' at the US American developer Dabid Dunklee via email. The price for a card is 195 USD plus shipping. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Morgue Soft stops developer activity by releasing the game "The Widow"
After more than 27 years, Juan Carlos 'Templario' Herran Martin has stopped his developer activity by releasing the game "The Widow" which is a point'n'click horror adventure written in Hollywood:

Lamp


According to 'Templario' this game is "a little summary of the best games and programs made for me with my programming and graphic design skills". It is available for MorhpOS 2.7-3.x, AmigaOS4.x, AROS, Windows and Linux.

During the past years he has released software like the picture viewer Videntium Picta, the picture editing programm Pintor Web or the PDF viewer GrimoriumPDF. Furthermore he wrote diverse slot machine games and adult games.

His first projects 'Templario' wrote in AmiBlitz/BlitzBasic for his brother. Since 2010 he has used Hollywood as his main developing software. In response to our question about the reasons for his decision he answered that it "is very complicated making games for Amiga systems when there are not skilled graphic designers in this hobby, and the motivation and the input of fresh ideas is low."

Now he is enjoying his hobby as another spectator of the scene. We wish him much fun in the new period of life and all the best for the future! (dr) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: web-browser Wayfarer 1.11, e-mail client Iris 0.100
New versions of his web-browser Wayfarer and his e-mail client Iris have been released by Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek today. Except for the implementation of an online-check for updates in case of the e-mail client, both updates consist of bug-fixes and optimisations only - among them the bug that caused the browser to crash in case of incorrect translation files.

File manager: MCAmiga 0.9 for all Amiga systems (update)
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's MCAmiga is a file manager inspired by Norton and Midnight Commander which can be completely used with the keyboard. Version 0.9 has been already released in August 2020 - we reported about it in our dominical Aminet uploads - but after poiting out by us, Marcus now has added the missing change log which we also want to share with our readers:
  • difference viewer in tools menu
  • basic highlighter for ini, patch/diff files
  • BugFix for start from WBDock2
  • startup scripts to directly start the viewer/diffviewer from shell
  • Bugfix for file size
MCAmiga is available for AmigaOS (m68k, PPC), MorphOS and AROS (x86, x64, ARM). The programm at least requires 4 MB RAM.

Update: (18:40, 06.01.21, dr)
According to the author meanwhile the AmigaOS-4 version does run on a X5000 since it has not been a MCAmiga bug, but a Free Pascal Bug which has been fixed. (dr) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: e-mail client Iris 0.99 (Update)
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is going to be the standard e-mail client for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and is able to display as well as create HTML e-mails.

Compared to betaversion 94 released about two months ago, Iris 0.98 now utilises the core of Wayfarer instead of Odyssey. Additionally there are first localisations, improved navigation and several bug-fixes. For feedback to the author, the corresponding thread at MorphZone can be used.

Update: (22:59, 03.01.21, snx)
Meanwhile version 0.99 is available. The update adds minor fixes and "Upload messages to Folder" functionality. (snx)
