Gail Wellington passed away
On Thursday Gail Wellington passed away at the age of 85. Born on January 14, 1940 in Yonkers, New York, she was one of Commodore International's best-known personalities through her work as head of the "Commodore Applications and Technical Support" (CATS) department, which was founded for her, and her involvement in the Amiga CDTV.
Her career in this field began in 1981 at Commodore UK, as a technical writer - starting with a manual about writing software manuals for external developers of programs for the Commodore PET - where she eventually became head of the software department. Three years later at Commodore Electronics Ltd, she took over software sales to and support for the independent distributors.
In spring of 1985, at the CeBIT computer exposition in Hanover, Germany, her supervisor, Bob Gleadow, asked her to travel to Los Gatos for three weeks to work with the Amiga developers whose company Commodore had bought in August. This turned into three months in which Gail Wellington mediated between the West Coast and Commodore's marketing department on the East Coast of the USA and kept the management up to date on progress and costs. During this time she was also involved in the planning and coordination of the official launch of the Amiga at Lincoln Center in New York on July 23rd, a major event with Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry, which, like many others, required her to work 7-day weeks and travel extensively.
Back in England at Commodore Electronics, she took charge of marketing and recruiting developers for the Amiga, which led to her return to the USA in October 1986 and appointment as worldwide Amiga Product Manager and in 1987 head of CATS, where she oversaw all worldwide developer activities, managed the Amiga DevCon events and ensured the successful sale of Commodore's products by ensuring the availability of high quality third party application software and hardware. CATS consisted of technical, administrative and marketing staff.
These assignments ended with Mehdi Ali's presidency of Commodore International, who made her Director of Special Projects. The first special project was the development and launch of the Amiga CDTV, code-named "Gail's Baby". Gail Wellington and her team oversaw the software side, while Don Gilbreath and his team were responsible for the hardware side. Her tasks included bringing software developers on board and conducting product demonstrations. However, the CDTV was not a commercial success and Gail Wellington was dismissed in 1992.
After a brief stint as Vice President of Sales and Marketing at OptImage Interactive Services, which was involved with Philips' CD-i, she ended up working full-time at "Three Peas in a Pod Florist" in Pennsylvania, which she had previously purchased with her daughter. (snx)

Virtual desktops for the Workbench: GoVD 2.4 with AmigaOS 4.1 compatibility
Krzysztof Donat's program GoVD makes it possible to use the Workbench on up to eight virtual screens under AmigaOS 3.2 or higher. It is possible to specify which Workbench windows and programs should use which of the screens. The current version 2.4 now also offers improved compatibility with AmigaOS 4.1.
This means that it is now possible to use the full range of functions, including the GoVD-conf configuration program, under this operating system without any restrictions in terms of options and stability.
GoVD includes the following features:
- Up to eight independent virtual screens
- Freely positionable panel for switching between screens
- Keyboard shortcut support for quick screen switching and hiding
- Integration with the Exchange Commodity
GoVD is shareware and can be used unregistered for 20 minutes at a time. Registration is based on voluntary donations, developers of Aminet-listed programs can apply for free registration. (snx)

Tool: identify library 45.0 now recognizes PCI cards
Richard “Shred” Körber's identify.library collects all kinds of system parameters and provides the user with information on CPU, FPU, memory, clock frequency, etc., for example. Version 45.0 includes support for PCI cards for the first time. The author explains the new features in this release as follows:
"In order to recognise PCI boards, the openpci.library by Thomas Richter must be installed. In addition, the database file "pci.db" from the new IdentifyPci package must be copied into the S: directory. The database is based on the work of The PCI ID Repository, but has been shrunk to a manageable floppy disc size. (I decided against using their "pci.ids" for reasons of space and performance).
The query is performed using the new IdPciExpansion() function, which works in a relatively similar way to IdExpansion() for the Zorro extensions. The supplied ListExp tool already uses the function, other tools must be extended.
PCI detection is still in the beta phase. I look forward to your feedback!
Another new feature is the category of "virtual extensions", which are not recognised at boot time but are added later. The openpci.library creates several such virtual extensions per PCI card, which quickly makes the list of Zorro extensions confusing. ListExp now only shows these extensions as a total ("+ 16 virtual extensions"). With the new VIRTUAL option, however, they can still be displayed as normal in the list.
What else? The new AmiGUS sound card is recognised. The new tag IDTAG_EmptyIfUnknown now returns an empty string for unknown manufacturers and boards (instead of the numeric ID). And I threw a few small errors out of the include files, one of them even dates back to the very early Amiga days. :D
As always, the release is already available at Codeberg or on AmiNet." (cg)

Preview video: Arcade game "Gemdalus"
RETREAM is about to create "Gemdalus" (video), an arcade game in which the player has to collect all the gems scattered around the labyrinths. Inspired by Snake, the player leaves behind a kind of band of light when collecting gems, which he himself is not allowed to break through. However, like a stretched rubber band, it is possible to snap back. (dr)

Managing ADF files: adflib V0.10.2 for Windows, Linux and macOS
Laurent Clevy first released adflib in 1999 in version 0.7.8 (Aminet). The portable C library, written mainly in C, is used to manage Amiga-formatted devices such as hard disks and ZIP disks or to swap them out via the .ADF format (amiga-news.de reported). The library is currently being developed under the responsibility of Tomasz Wolak. Changes in version 0.10.2:
- unadf: fix extracting tree for read-only directories
It is also pointed out with regard to the Windows binaries that these apparently had unexpected dependencies on debug versions of the Visual Studio runtime DLLs, which are missing on normal Windows (without Visual Studio installed). The current version should be free of this problem, but could not be tested in advance. If anyone has the possibility to verify this, please report it in the corresponding issue of the GitHub repository. (dr)

MorphOS: CellBasics announced (update)
MorphOS developer Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek announces his "CellBasics" program in the MorphZone with just one screenshot. The screenshot shows the entry of addresses as in a simple database, but the name and the appearance are more reminiscent of a spreadsheet. Apparently, rows and columns can already be inserted or deleted at the current stage of development, and CSV is used as the storage format.
Update: (16:55, 14.05.25, snx)
As Jacek Piszczek has since explained, the standard Excel syntax has already been implemented, but the common functions still need to be programmed. Standard mathematical operations or referencing other cells or cell ranges do already work, though. CellBasics is an almost completely self-written program, only the formula parser and the routines for loading xlsx files would be ports of open source libraries. (snx)

In memoriam: Manfred Kleimann, ASM editor-in-chief, has passed away
The German computer games industry mourns the passing of Manfred Kleimann, who died on April 13, 2025, at the age of 69. As the creative mind behind the magazine "ASM – Aktueller Software Markt", he is considered one of the pioneers of German games journalism.
Originally coming from the field of urban and landscape planning, Kleimann discovered his enthusiasm for language, media, and technology early on. In the mid-1980s, he recognized the potential of the still young medium of computer games and developed ASM, one of the first magazines aimed not only at programmers but explicitly at gamers, with its own stylistic devices, sections, and unmistakable tone.
From 1986 to 1991, he shaped the profile of the magazine published by Tronic Verlag as its editor-in-chief – and thus also the self-image of a growing gaming community. Kleimann knew how to combine technical fascination, editorial curiosity, and linguistic ease – a style that set a precedent and paved the way for later magazines such as Power Play and Amiga Joker.
He remained connected to the industry even after his time at ASM, working as a product manager at Konami, as a freelance editor, and later as a translator and proofreader.
Manfred "Manni" Kleimann was not a loud representative of the scene, but he was an influential one. His keen sense for topics, his editorial style, and his courage to think up new formats leave a lasting impression.
An online condolence book has been set up in memory of Manfred Kleimann. (nba)

Flight simulator: Tie Fighter Simulator
"Tie Fighter Simulator" is a small flight simulator created with AMOS and is intended to be a "nostalgic and light-hearted homage to Star Wars, electronic games of the 1980s and the joy of retro programming".
The project was started in 2021 as a personal exercise to relearn AMOS on the Amiga. The idea for the mini-game (a kind of 1980s electronic LED handheld) was inspired by a scene from Star Wars: Episode IV. (dr)

Amiga history: Will the real Joe Pillow please stand up
Almost every Amiga fan will be familiar with "Joe Pillow", be it as a nickname for Dale Luck or with regard to the story that the developers of the Amiga transported a prototype of the computer on an airplane in its own seat due to its sensitivity, which was booked under that name.
Now Dale Luck describes at the title link what Joe Pillow was really all about. In February 1984, on a flight from New Orleans to San Jose, he and RJ Mical had simply kept a seat free for more freedom of movement by creating an additional passenger from his backpack and jacket and a pillow with a face painted on it.

- M68k version compiled with extra optimisations for faster code
- Fixed bug where AmigaGPT would get stuck after sending multiple chat messages
- Fixed the bsdsocket.library error that appears on MorphOS if the app is closed before it has finished loading
- Fix crash when toggling speech enabled in menu
- Fix crash when generating an image when OpenAI reports an error

The final version features a new intro, improved graphics, introduced female zombie figure, new sound effects, 4 different game locations each with its own set of graphics, gangs of thugs ready to kill you, minefields, military bases, an Easter egg and new mission objectives.
The game requires 1 MB Ram, an Amiga 1200 is recommended for playing. (dr)

Emulator: Mame106Minimix 1.3
The Multi Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) emulates numerous arcade machines. After conversions for MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 as well as various, mostly older 68k ports, there has been another project for AmigaOS 3.1 since last year with Mame106Minimix, which however requires a very fast computer (68060 processor with 64 MB or actually designed for PiStorm extensions).
The port of MAME version 0.106, which dates back to 2006, is now available in version 1.3 and offers further corrections regarding the AGA and OCS native modes and the emulation of various games. (snx)

New PPC hardware announced: "Mirari" featuring USB3, NVME, FPGA (Update 3)
Dave "Skateman" Koelman presented a new PPC motherboard developed by Harald 'Geennaam' Kanning in the "Hardware" channel of the Amigans Discord server. Some time later, Kanning himself started posting in our comments section and supplied
a pretty extensive overview over the project:
The full specifications of the current design look like this:
- Form Factor: micro-ATX compatible, 244x170mm (L x W)
- T10x2 (2-4 e5500 cores) up to 1.5GHz / T2081 (4 dual-threaded e6500 cores with Altivec 2.0) up to 1.8GHz
- DDR3L (1.35V) SODIMM with rank interleaving (T10x2 up to DDR1600; T2081 up to DDR2133)
- PCIe x16 slot with 4 lanes occupied (PCIe 2.0)
- PCIe x4 slot with one lane occupied (T10x2 PCIe 2.0; T2081 PCIe 3.0)
- PCIe x1 slot with one lane occupied (PCIe 2.0)
- 2x SATA 2.0 (T10x2 only, at 300Mbit/s)
- 2x NVMe slots (second slot mutually exclusive with second SATA port)
- 8 USB 2.0 ports (4 connected to the rear I/O; 4 connected to internal USB 2.0 headers)
- 4 USB 3.2 Gen1 ports (2 connected to the rear I/O; 2 connected to an internal USB 3.0 header)
- 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet
- 192kHz/24bit analog audio (mic, line-in, line-out to the rear I/O; mic, headphone to the HD audio connector)
- S/PDIF / Toslink digital audio out
- 9-pin RS232 to the rear I/O
- Micro SD card (push-in push-out) as boot source
- 24-pin ATX power connector
- 4-pin ATX CPU power connector
- CPU fan header with PWM
- Case fan header
- TRION FPGA
Background and Mission
The Mirari board is designed with the intention to provide the Amiga
community with low-cost PowerPC hardware. Therefore, the design is based on a
bare minimum with nice-to-haves based on what makes sense, but always with
the mission in mind. Due to the minor cost difference between a dual-core
T1022 and the quad-core T1042, we've decided on the T1042, resulting in a
low-cost board with mid-range specifications.
The T10x2 is based on the e5500 core, the same core found in the X5000.
Initial benchmarks confirm that the single-core performance difference is
just the clock difference, with a 1.4 GHz T1042 performing at 70% of the 2GHz
X5020. The design also accommodates the pin and footprint-compatible T2081,
allowing for a mid-cost board with high-end specifications. To ensure
compatibility, we had to make some compromises to the T10x2 design.
Memory Support
The T10x2 memory controller supports both 64-bit DDR3L and DDR4 at 800 MHz (DDR1600).
The T2081 memory controller supports both 64-bit DDR3L at 933MHz (DDR1866) and DDR3 at 1066MHz (DDR2133).
The common denominator is DDR3L, hence the choice for a 1.35V SODIMM slot.
If we had focused solely on the T1042, DDR4 would have been the better choice from an availability standpoint. However, since the clock speed is the same but latencies are larger for DDR4, the overall memory performance would have been lower.
For the T2081 we can increase the memory controller voltage to 1.5V which would enable the DDR2133 interface speed.
Although we have only one memory controller, initial Linux benchmarks show that the single and SMT memory performance is at least on par with the X5020.
Audio
For longevity reasons, we've decided to use an industrial-grade audio codec from TI (TLV320AIC3204). This codec is routed to three audio jacks at the rear (mic, line-in, line-out) and to an onboard HD audio connector. Additionally, there's a digital optical output (Toslink). The T1042 features an I2S interface for direct connection to external audio codecs, while the T208x does not. Therefore, we've implemented the I2S and S/PDIF controllers in the FPGA. This means there's no audio driver readily available for Linux. For OS4 and MorphOS, I have experience writing AHI drivers, so consider this covered.
Storage
The mainboard features two SATA ports and two NVMe slots. However, we had to make some tough choices again:
For the T1042 variant, there's always one SATA port and one NVMe slot available. The second SATA/NVMe is mutually exclusive, currently jumper-based but eventually u-boot configurable.
The T2081 does not have SATA interfaces. If you need SATA, it must be added with a PCIe card. However, keep in mind that SATA is being phased out, with modern PCs and laptops often using NVMe over SATA SSDs.
Tested Linux distributions are all booting and running from NVMe. I also have experience with NVMe drivers, so consider this covered for OS4 and MorphOS as well.
USB3: We based u-boot on the latest stable version available earlier this year, 2024.10. This has many benefits over using the 2014-2018 versions available in other PowerPC hardware. However, the developers behind u-boot changed the driver model around 2018, with a transition period ending in 2020. This means u-boot is a mixture of old drivers and drivers compliant with the new model. For USB on NXP SoC, there's a catch: NXP didn't rewrite their OHCI and EHCI drivers for the new model. Activating the XHCI driver for USB3 support causes conflicts. Fortunately, this is not an issue under Linux, so USB3 works correctly, but we have work to do for u-boot.
Prototypes
We have ordered 5 prototypes and managed to make them all work (100% yield). This was a great concern to me personally, as the layout requirements for the 780 balls FPGA stretched our supplier's capabilities to its limits. The boards run stably and have undergone hours of burn-in testing with Linux stress testing tools. One observation is that the CPUs run around 30°C idle and around 40°C under full load, which is good for overclocking potential. The core power supply has quite some headroom to support this. You can check out the Hyperion Entertainment X5000 Linux-only forum for posts from Skateman. Whenever he talks about his 4-core e5500, he is actually talking about this board.
Update: (30.04.2025, 23:20, cg)
The hardware designer made some additional statements in a Discord channel only accessible to registered users (Official Commodore Amiga, #next-gen):
- "Board is fully functional. So runs all available PPC Linux distro's (including the latest Chimera). This one is T1042 based for cost reasons.
So 4x e5500 cores. But the board is fully compatible with the 8 threaded e6500 based T2081. Other things to highlight are 2x NVMe (Linux boots
and runs from NVMe) and USB3.2 Gen1".
- "Target for the T1042 based version is to be the lowest cost mainboard PPC board on sale."
- "Target is to run both OS4 and MorphOS. But this is not up to us of course. We can do so much what we can control. And that is the hardware
including u-boot. If those in control of OS4 ultimately do not want to cooperate than at least we had the fun. And proved that low cost PPC
hardware is possible."
- "The T1042 supports either 1.35V DDR3L or DDR4. The T2081 supports either 1.5V DDR3 or 1.35V DDR3L. Hence the choice for a 1.35V sodimm.
For the T2081 I could opt for 1.5V DDR3. Then it can be clocked up to DDR-2133"
Update 2: (01.05.2025, 13:15, cg):
Board designer Harald 'Geennaam' Kanning has posted an extensive description of the project in our comments section.
Update 3: (01.05.2025, 15:39, cg):
Restructured the entire news item, to present all information available so far in an easier to digest format.

Worth a read: Thomas Rattigan, short-lived Commodore CEO
American journalist and author David L. Farquhar regularly writes about computer and IT history on his website "The Silicon Underground". In a recent article, he outlines the short but eventful tenure of Thomas Rattigan as CEO of Commodore. Rattigan was lured away from Pepsi to Commodore in 1985 and initially took on the role of COO. He is credited with initiating the successful A500 and A2000 models and returning the company to profitability.
On 23 April 1987, just over a year after being appointed CEO of Commodore (on 1 April 1986), Thomas Rattigan had his abrupt end at Commodore – he was dismissed by Irving Gould and escorted out of the building by security guards without being given the opportunity to take any personal belongings with him.
Farquhar recounts the background to this spectacular episode in Commodore's company history and shows how Rattigan ended up having the last laugh. (nba)
