File manager: Tasko (update)
"Tasko" written by Andreas G. Szabo offers any number of directory windows you like. Between them, you can copy files with drag&drop - for each new directory window, just start Tasko once again. The current release is called a "release candidate", which probably includes bugs. So far you cannot delete empty directories.
Tasko requires AmigaOS 3.0 or higher. The author recommends at least AmigaOS 3.5. The screennotify.library is supported, that means if the Workbench is supposed to be closed or opened, Tasko immediately responds.
Download: Tasko_v1.0rc6.zip (176 KB)
Update: (03.03.2016, 06:00, cg)
Meanwhile the sixth "release candidate" is available. According to Andreas G. Szabo "now the files list is only refreshed when the dir reading is ready. However you can turn back on the live-refresh in the menu settings. I also changed the live-refresh method and it perhaps now performs better." Additional changes:
- Only one lister is read/refreshed at a time.
- Initial bookmarks feature added, drag dirs or volumes into the bookmarks list (turn it on in the settings menu).

Review: Netsurf under AmigaOS 3 (Update)
If nowadays users of classic Amiga hardware are going to surf the Internet, until recently they could only choose between iBrowse and A-Web. But both web browsers have not been updated since 2006 and 2011, respectively. As long as you are only intending to browse websites like amiga-news.de or the Aminet, then these two are sufficient - but it is quite impossible to access more complex websites like yahoo.de. Our editor Daniel Reimann has examined the new alternative called Netsurf:

A500Flash is a Kickstart switcher allowing Flash-memory reprogramming. The device should be installed inside the Amiga A500/A500+/A2000.
The design of the Flash memory enables loading another Kickstart image by running additional software on the same Amiga computer and subsequent switching between available ROM images by holding down CTRL+Amiga+Amiga keys.

Amiga developer Dave Needle died
According to RJ Mical on his Facebook site, Dave Needle has died. After their employment at Amiga Corporation, they both worked as developers of the game consoles Atari Lynx and 3DO.
Dave Needle did belong to the original hardware developers of the Amiga. Despite of circulated love-hate relationship between him and Jay Miner's dog Mitchie he later pointed out to his relevance of the computer development. In the past year he did participate in the Amiga 30th anniversary party (picture).

Accelerator board: Adding a FPU to the ACA-1233
The Amiga user Allan 'Drewlio77' Versaevel has upgraded his ACA-1233 accelerator board (55 MHz) by adding a 68882-FPU and a coresponding oscillator by himself. In his opinion, this might be the fastest 68030-board for the Amiga 1200.
Additional to his abridged report, under the title link he also has published pictures.
