USB mouse adapter: JP-Mouse
Two members of the Portuguese forum Retromania.pt, José Gonçalves and Paulo Sousa (JPRetro), have developed a space-saving low-cost adapter which can connect an USB-mouse to an Amiga or Atari ST.

Under the title link this article is introduced in Portuguese, but on the left side you can translate the website into English. The adapter supports optical mice as well as wireless ones (27 MHz). If you order an adapter, the version for Amiga is set as default. If you want to order the version for Atari, you have to specify it. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Free Pascal updated
In 2004 Karoly 'Chain-Q' Balogh ported the compiler Free Pascal to MorphOS and two years later for the first time adapted it to AmigaOS 4.

Under the title link Dennis van der Boon (well-known by his SonnetAmiga project) is working on a reimplementation of WarpOS for AmigaOS 4. The goal of "ReWarp" (screenshot) is to make it possible runing WarpOS-programms under PowerPC computers which are supported by the WarpOSEmu.

A supporter of the project mentioned the PowerPC cores e500, e5500 and 4x0 - that means the processors of the AmigaOne X5000 as well as of the Sam460 and of the Tabor-board. (snx) (Translation: dr)
