Audio recording: Speech of Jay Miner
Bill Winters from the Youtube channel "Guru Meditation" has found an old audio recording in the garage of his father which includes a speech of Jay Miner at the "AmiExpo East Coast 1990" in Washington D.C. (USA). The "father of the Amiga" talked in detail among others about the history of the computers, his relation to Commodore and his ideas of the further development of the platform. At the end there was also a round of questions in which Miner seemed accidently to confirm the development of a successor of the A3000.

Prototype of an unreleased jump'n run: Green Thang
"Green Thang" (video) is a jump'n run game which has been started being developed for the Amiga in 1994. Due to a crashing market, later only a version for the Atari Jaguar was developed further but which only some time later was also dropped. The website "Games that Weren't" succeeded in finding a playable prototype of the Amiga version.

Playable Demo: Dungeon Crawler "The Shadows of Sergoth"
"The Shadows of Sergoth" is a Dungeon Crawler similar to Dungeon Master which was released in 2018 for the Amstrad CPC 6128. Some months ago an Amiga port has been announced and now a first playable demo version released (video). The game requires 1,5 MB Chip-RAM and at least a 68020 processor is recommended.
If you are going to play Shadows of Sergoth on an Amiga with 68000 or 68020 processor, you can turn off animations in the option menu. For the end of 2020/beginning of 2021 a commercial release of the game is planned in digital as well as boxed version.

Self-made project: Using standard power supply for A500/A1200
Tobias "MastaTabs" Seiler's A500 Single Power and A1200 Single Power are adapter boards which replace the powersupply port of an Amiga. By the help of the board, the computers can be supplied with electricity using a standard 12-Volt power supply.
As a little bonus the board also provides a seperate power switch. The A500 version has been successfully tested by the developer.

TCP-Stack: Roadshow 1.14
Press release: Slightly delayed by only two years, the free Roadshow TCP/IP stack 1.14 update is now available to all customers. This update fixes a number of long standing bugs, improves performance and accuracy in the TCP/IP stack itself, as well as adding new features to the shell commands which ship with it.
New features include support for the remote shell command (rsh) and Roadshow's new built-in remote shell server: you can now build networks of Amigas and small computer systems, allowing Amiga programs to be started over the network, allow the Amiga to start programs on other computers and exchange data through this channel.
The update process itself has been reworked, enabling you to update Roadshow versions 1.9-1.13 in one single step. Which software is updated, and if/why some software cannot be updated, is also stated clearly.
Our profound thanks go to everybody who contributed bug reports and enhancement requests during the past two years, and especially the beta testers who made shipping the 1.14 update possible in the first place!
This update is available through amigashop.org, in the download area of the customer account you used when you ordered Roadshow. (cg)
