Internet using the parallel port: plipbox 0.5
With Christian 'lallafa' Vogelgsang's plipbox it is possible to get an Amiga into the network. The Arduino-based adapter provides a connection to the ethernet-port of the Arduino board using the parallel port. The magPLIP-protocol is used.

With version 0.5 the MAC address is received automatically and an optional full-duplex-support is provided. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Amedia Computer announces USB-keyboard with real Amiga-keys
During the next weeks the French trader Amedia Computer will offer USB-keyboards in black or beige/white which are equipped with real Amiga-keys - in the past, similar projects only used Windows-keys with labels.

A picture made available by Amedia shows some more changes compared with an usual PC-keyboard:



The "menu"-key became a BoingBall-key and either the ScrollLock or the Ende-key are additionally labeled with "Help". Besides, the curly brackets are placed again above the numeric keypad.

Keyboard layouts for Great Britain (QWERTY) and French (AZERTY) are supposed to be available, but a German version is not planned. Amedia did not specify which company will produce the keyboards.

The keyboards have an USB-port and will be exclusively sold by Amedia. Preordered, the keyboard costs 199 Euro. The normal price is about 220 Euro. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Floppy-Emulator: Raspberry pi as disk drive replacement
The Italian Maurizo Ramondo has replaced the disk drive of his Amiga 500 by a Raspberry Pi: The single-board computer was connceted to the internal floppy port of the Amiga with a simple adapter developed by Ramondo and in this way emulates two disk drives.

As data medium the SD-card of the Raspberry Pi is used - the credit-card-sized computer was put in the A500, so it is accessable through the original disk drive slot. The emulated floppy is ready seven seconds after booting the Amiga because Ramondo did not want to use Linux and instead of it uses a self developed programm, which has 240 KB.

After a reset, the Amiga boots a setup programm. There you can assign one or several ADF-images to the emulated drives. While operating you can switch between the ADF-files with a key.

The developer made available all documents as well as the software on his website for free. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: Islands Mini-Golf 1.5
In 2008 the game Islands Mini-Golf was released for Mac OS X as Shareware and now is also available for free for MorphOS. A French review you can find at Obligement.

Islands Mini-Golf requires a 3D video card as well as 128 MB RAM and features 5 themes with 90 tracks for up to four players. In the MorphOS-version there are some graphics bug (missing textures) and the online hiscores does not work. The game uses the full power of the processor, possibly caused by using PowerSDL.

Jump and Run: Frank Wille announces "Solid Gold" for Amiga 500
Frank "phx" Wille (among others Sqrxz, vbcc) has announced another jump'n run game for the end of the year. "Solid Gold" is created in cooperation with the brother of Wille who is the graphic artist:



Wille describes Solid Gold as "a mix of Turrican, Giana Sisters and Rick Dangerous". The game was developed in assembler and features smooth 8-way-scrolling with 50 pictures per second. An Amiga with at least one megabyte RAM (512 KB Chip, 512 KB Fast) is required.

Currently the highscore list and the final sequence are written. Apart from "some fine-tuning" (Wille) all other work was completed. Solid Gold will be released as ADF-image. The source code will be available for free. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Accelerator board: Progress report about ACA500 (English)
Under the title link an English-language progress report about the accelerator board ACA500 developed by Individual Computers was released.

The report, written by an user who was a co-developer, concludes: 2 MB Fast-RAM as well as a missing case are the disadvantages of the board. Otherwise, the board delivers what was promised and has a high compatibility. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4/AROS: Bounty-project for Odyssey web browser
Under the title link on Power2poeople.org, a bounty project for releasing Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly's web browser Odyssey under an open-source-licence was established which would make it possible to adapt it to AmigaOS 4 and AROS.

Earlier versions of his browser the author already released for free. But these versions cannot play e.g. HTML5-videos. This fearture Fabien Coeurjoly developed himself; there is not any other Amiga implemenation for that except the (still unsatisfying) Firefox/Timberwolf. Alternative browsers for different operating systems are open-source but often overdependent (Chrome) or bloated (Webkit-GTK), or not open-source (Apple Quicktime for the Mac-version of Webkit or the Windows-implementation).

Event: First reports of Alchimie X (update)
On the first day of the Alchimie X in France, there were the following news about Minimig and AmigaOS 4:
  • The announced software surprise for AmigaOS 4.1 was a DVD with over 70 game ports provided by Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel.
  • Secondly, ACube Systems lifted the secret about the "MiniMig+", which is as fast as a 68030-processor with 30 MHz. An ARM-chip, 32 MB RAM (can be upgraded up to 64 MB), 8 MB chip-RAM, two USB-ports, network connection, realtime clock, two SD-card readers and 18-Bit-video output are integrated. The FPGA is twice as big as before and thus sufficiently big for an AGA-core. It will be half as large as the Mini-ITX-format. The project will be not finished in near future.
  • Additional to the DVD, Hugues Nouvel has released five new games for AmigaOS 4.1, which are mainly Egoshooter (World Of Padman, a new version of ioQuake, Smokin'Guns, Star Trek Voyager Elite Force and Tremulous) as well as the puzzle game Dale Hardshovel.
Update:
  • On Sunday for MorphOS 3.4 the following facts have been announced:
    • Support of non-native PowerBook screen resolutions
    • Improved support of R300-based graphic boards (Radeon 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800)
    • Highly improved AGP-transfer rates on G5-computers (by a factor  of 5, up to 1,2 GB/s) and bug fixed 16-Bit screen resolutions
    • Improved network-stack (speed and configuration)
    • Password protection of the screen (during booting the computer or after inactivity)
  • MorphOS 3.5 will be a bug fix release
  • MorphOS 3.6 is supposed to include the following components:
    • Support of modern graphic boards
    • Support of further G5-models
    • Javascript-JIT for Odyssey-Webbrowser
    • CUPS-Integration
    • SSHFS and SMBFS via FUSE

Indivision AGA Mk2: Inofficial SuperPlus configuration file
For the Flickerfixer Indivision AGA Mk2 an inofficial configuration file for using the monitor driver SuperPlus has been released (version 40.5 of the driver must be installed in Sys:Devs/Monitors).

The file has been not completely finished and may cause minor problems - e.g. the boot picture does not fit the full screen and is not centered. It must be chosen in the preferences programm of the Indivision and then set in the Workbench-preferences of the screen mode "SuperPlus HighResLaced (800x600)".

With the same configuration file, HighGFX can be used as well. Only the default setting 1024x768 must be deactivated and instead the screen resolution 800x600 in the Workbench-preferences used.

Putty Squad: Release failed due to disks
After the announcement to make available the so far unreleased full version of the Amiga game Putty Squad (amiga-news.de reported) and after our unanswered requests, if it might be the well-known demo version handele, System 3 now back-pedals:

In a video interview with Eurogamer under the title link, the CEO, Mark Cale, told (from minute 7 on) that currently options are considered but the original project could not be put into action because nobody could create the Amiga-disks to then add them to the collector's edition of the new HD-version for PC, Mac and consoles.

MorphOS: First beta version of new printing system
Michal 'zukow' Zukowski is working on a port of parts of the CUPS-infrastructure for MorphOS, financed by a bounty. Meanwhile a first, very early beta version is available, which according to the author "sends tons of debug and can crash". Color profiles are not supported in this version.

Zukowski tries to port single CUPS printer driver (called "filter") to MorphOS and then to integrate them to the system. A preferences programm is included as well.

Currently Zukowski provides onyl drivers for Postscript-printer. In contrast to the MorphOS built-in system, his system supports diverse comfort and special functions of the connected devices (e.g. number of copies, scaling and desired printing quality etc.). (cg) (Translation: dr)

According to Pascal Papara, the AROS-computers "ARES mini M1000" and M1600 are not available any longer. They were replaced by the ARES Cube S and the "new" AresOne. The date will no longer be part of the name, "late 2013" was only added for "marking" the new version.

The AresOne now has a faster processor and integrated WiFi, supported by AROS. A Gallium-compatible graphic board is standard.

Because Broadway and AEROS r4 are still in progress, IcAROS desktop is installed. Special wishes can be discussed before ordering it. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: IceFileSystem 2.10
IceFS is a 64-bit filesystem for MorphOS which among others works with checksums for all meta data as well as meta-level-journallin and (based on powers of two) supports almost every sector size. Changes in version 2.10:
  • Blocksize can be selected from formatting application now (Needs FSFormat)

  • Reworked device io layer a bit to allow asynchronus writes
  • Fileimages work with non standard blocksizes now

A-EON: Voting on name of the next AmigaOne generation
Press release: Cardiff 2013, 21st October 2013

Following our announcement at Ami-West that we are developing the "Cyrus Plus" motherboard, which could spawn three new AmigaONE models, we carried out a straw poll on possible naming options for the new machines. The AmiWest audience voted on the four naming groups included in items 1 to 4 in the table below. The result was evenly split between groups 3 and 4, with groups 1 and 2 receiving zero votes.

However, since the announcement we have received numerous emails, either agreeing or suggesting alternative naming schemes. As a result of this feedback we are now opening the poll to the wider Amiga community. Eight additional naming groups have been included which reflect the most popular naming options suggested. So here is your chance to help select the names for the new "Cyrus Plus" AmigaONE systems.

If you would like to help shape the AmigaONE's future please select your first and second choices and email your vote to contact@a-eon.com with "Cyrus Plus name" in the subject line.

  1. A1500, A2000/20, A2000/40
  2. A2000, A4000/20, A4000/40
  3. A3000, A5000/20, A5000/40
  4. A3041, A5020, A5040

AmigaOS 4: Dragon-/Tandy-Emulator XRoar 0.30.3
XRoar, ported by Ventzislav Tzvetkov, emulates the 8-bit-systems Dragon and Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer. A minimal firmware is included in the archive. For proper compatibility a ROM-image of the emulated computer is required.

Changes since our last message:
  • Minimal CoCo BASIC printing support using ROM intercept.
  • Fix SAM clock stretching on slow/fast transition.
  • New -default-machine option.
  • New -machine-cart option specifies default cart per machine.
  • Successive files on command line attached intelligently.
  • New -ao-device option supported by ALSA, OSS, Pulse and Sun.
  • New -debug-fdc option selects FDC debug options (-1 for all).
  • New -debug-file option selects file loading debug options (-1 for all).
  • New machine and ROM definitions for Dynacom MX-1600 (CoCo clone).
  • Add "pause switch". Pause key in SDL & GTK+ UIs toggles.
  • Sound MUX levels and single-bit sound interaction improved.
  • HD6309: some behaviour verified.
  • VDG: 6847T1 emulated, selectable with -vdg-type. Default for CoCo.
  • Fix printing on Dragon 32.
  • Automatically extend virtual disks on write.
  • Shift+F12 latches the rate limit toggle.
  • Revamped joystick handling, added mouse interface.
  • Fixed PAL CoCo video timing.
  • GDB target support. A patched GDB supporting 6809 is recommended.
  • Recognise .ccc as a cartridge ROM image extension.
  • Many more menu items in Mac OS X user-interface.
  • Support the Orchestra 90-CC cartridge.
  • New -ao-channels option.
  • New -config-print option.

Busboard: Mediator for A3000 in desktop case can be preordered
In September, Elbox announced a version of the Mediator-PCI-busboard which only has three PCI and Zorro II/II slots - but instead of that it is built in a desktop case of an Amiga 3000 and for the first time is compatible to version 2.2 of the PCI-standard.

From now on the "Mediator 3000Di" can be preordered but Elbox did not mention a delivery date. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Event: First reports of AmiWest 2013 (Update)
There are some first reports of the AmiWest which is taking place in Sacramento, California this weekend. According to them:
  • it was again confirmed that there will not be a laptop for AmigaOS 4
  • A-EON Technology has invested 1,2 million in new systems
  • which probably will be available at the end of 2014: AmigaOne 3041, 5020, 5040; Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden can already run AmigaOS 4 on the Cyrus-board
  • the beta test of the Cyrus boards will start at the begining of the next year, 50 testers are required
  • the first production will begin with 500 boards 6 months after the beta tests were started; batches of 300-500 pieces are planned
  • the Cyrus board will be available separately to allow international customers an inexpensive access to A-EON-systems; this is also planned for the Nemo board of the AmigaOne X1000
  • additional to Alinea Computer in Germany, A-EON is looking for a distributor in USA
  • the Ethernet driver for the Onboard-port of the AmigaOne X1000 is currently beta tested and Trevor Dickinson is already using it instead of a PCI-board
  • a new AmigaOS-4-kernel is currently tested, called the X-Kernel, which features multicore-support
  • the port of LibreOffice is developed further: Soon a beta test programm will be started
  • for Amiga computers a new soundcard will be available, which can be connected via the Zorro-slot or the clockport and which can play most of the audio formats; Michael Böhmer (E3B) is developing it, Ian Gledhill is writing the driver and the user-interface is written by Matthew Leaman; originally it should be called Prism but with regard to the spying programm it will be renamed
Update: (09:07, 20.10.13, snx)
Meanwhile further information is available directly from the A-EON Technology website. Furthermore, the information at the title link has been extended and the video of Trevor Dickinson's presentation has been uploaded. (snx) (Translation: dr)
