It is described for two models, the MPF920-E from Sony and the FD-235HF from TEAC. After the conversion, the speed of the motor is halved, as is typical for the Amiga, when an HD diskette is detected, otherwise it remains unchanged. (snx) [News message: 28.

Now he has published a similar example source code on his website, which shows this GUI creation in assembler. This article is not so much a tutorial as an accompanying text to the assembler source code, which has also been made available on the download page. (dr) [News message: 28.

Apr. 2024, 11:26] [Send via e-mail]  [Print version]  [ASCII version] 27.Apr.2024 A-EON announces new version of Personal Paint for A600GS Press rekease: Cardiff, 27 April 2024 A-EON Technology Ltd is pleased to announce further development of Personal Paint. Latest version 7.4 will be pre-installed on the forthcoming A600GS Computer. A-EON Technology purchased rights to Personal Paint from Cloanto in 2014 (amiga-news.de reported) which has led to notable development over the last decade for both Classic Amiga systems and Next Generation systems. Personal Paint has a rich record of being bundled with home computers over the years. In 1996 PPaint 6.4 was part of the Escom's Amiga 1200 Magic Pack. Even more recently in 2016, PPaint 7.3 was bundled with A-EON's powerful X5000 computer system. In 2024 the tradition continues with a new version 7.4 being pre-installed on the forthcoming A600GS. A-EON's latest update to this famous paint package accelerates 1080P and larger high resolution screens. 1080P is the resolution that most HDMI televisions operate at and the default screen mode of the A600GS. The drawing tools at this resolution would ordinarily be very slow. However they have now been significantly accelerated by using ARM native code. The latest Personal Paint 7.4 from A-EON is ready-to-run on the A600GS and will bring a nostalgic paint package experience to modern 1080P televisions. Matthew Leaman, MD of A-EON remarked: "Personal Paint originated on Classic Amiga systems which are these days becoming rarer, more expensive and requiring on going maintenance. This fact alone does not help to expand the future use of Personal Paint outside the Amiga community. As one of A-EON most important applications, Personal Paint can now have a new lease of life on low cost ARM hardware platform such as the A600GS. We are excited by the development possibilities that this provides for this famous application. We hope we can reach a wider audience, expanding the user base and ensure the application's longevity for many years to come." Trevor Dickinson, A-EON’s co-founder added: "Personal Paint became the leading easy-to-use Amiga program for bitmapped graphics and animation and was one of the first to support AGA and RTG. We developed updated versions for both 68K and PowerPC, and it's great to see the ARM accelerated version joining the family." Personal Paint 7.4 will be launched in Q2/2024 on the A600GS computer system. (dr) [News message: 27. Apr. 2024, 18:50] [Comments: 1 - 27. Apr. 2024, 20:57] [Send via e-mail]  [Print version]  [ASCII version] 27.Apr.2024 AROS: "Irritating bug of the month" April fixed / Poll for May In the poll for the "Irritating bug of the month" for April, two tasks were selected: in Wanderer, deletion should be allowed by pressing the Del key (#116) and DiskInfo should display the correct FAT instead of the wrong OFS (#105). Both tasks were solved and the corresponding archives (#105 and #116) were made available. The poll for the "Irritating bug of the month" May has been started. (dr) [News message: 27.

This can be used, for example, to operate the Subway 2021 from Alinea Computer. Changes in version 1.24: Fix Massive for most usb keys Fix hub with more than 4 ports Add LoadRDBFS option for massive (crashy thing) Wood dragon version StartDrivers changes remove c.o for massive (bug with output, keeping the cli open with WB1.3) CDFS/AmiCDFS CD/DVD For future development steps, Gilles Pelletier mentions, among other things, the optimisation of the graphic interface and the improvement of speed and reactivity.
