AmigaOS 4: Support for Polaris graphic cards (Enhancer Software)
Under the title link Matthew Leaman of A-EON Technology wrote that for the AmigaOS-4 extension "Enhancer Software" he guess the support for graphic cards equipped with AMD's Polaris chip set will be added.
This is also due to the Southern-Islands chipset cards of which only the variant of the Oland-based R7 240 was sold on the market.

ADF tool: TOSEC Checker 0.1
Steffest writes: With all the disk-imaging going on the past weeks with the Bamiga Sector One collection and others, we made a simple and accessible tool to quickly check if your freshly made ADF file is already in the TOSEC (The Old School Emulation Center) database or not.
Of course there already tools that do that, but they involve installing obscure software and hunting down and installing tons of database files. TOSEC Checker instead is a simple web-based tool: nothing to install. You drag a bunch of ADF files on the page and it tells you quickly if your disks are already in TOSEC or not.
As an added bonus you can click on a disk to browse it, view files in ASCII and hex and download files straight from the ADF image. It's like a TOSEC-enabled mini ADF Opus in your browser!
The tool is open source. We are open to any suggestions to improve it. - Enjoy! (snx)

Event: Reports and pictures from the Amiga Ireland Meetup 3.0
On 19. and 20. January the third meeting of the Amiga Users Ireland took place in Athlone. Trevor Dickinson (A-EON Technology) and David Pleasance (Commodore UK) attended the meeting and Mr. Dickinson interviewed Mr. Pleasance.
In this interview (video) the former Commodore manager - from about minute 34 - also talked about his engagement for the operating system "Friend" (amiga-news.de reported). After Hogne Titlestad in his open letter talked about native hardware in general, at the Amiga Ireland Meetup David Pleasance did speculate about a Raspberry-Pi-based "CD 1200" for Friend and a corresponding Kickstarter project.
Reports and further videos:

Amiga motherboard in ITX form factor: Amy ITX
Already for some years "Amy", which is an Amiga motherboard in standard ITX form factor (170x170 mm), is developed. The board has to be equipped with the Amiga-Custom-Chips, offers two Zorro slots (DMA is supported on one of the slots) and is compatible with accelerator boards like the Vampire 500, which are directly plugged in the processor socket.
According to the developers the project has been almost finished and works without any problems. So far 25 boards have been produced which were delivered to testers and enthusiats. If the project should be successfully finished a second production run is possible - if there is sufficient interest.
