ReWarp: Reimplementation of WarpOS for AmigaOS 4 in progress
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.

Amicast: Interview with Toni Wilen
In the blog of the English podcast Amicast an interview with Toni Wilen has been published. He is well-known for the development of the Amiga emulator WinUAE but has also written file manager FileMaster.
In the interview he mainly talked about the WinUAE and his future plans: Adding missing expansion cards, improving the compatibility, using of several emulated graphic cards simultaneously and emulating the micro controller 4510 (CDTV-CR) which controls the communication with the front-LCD. For the emulation of the controller he asks for ROMs. For further details please have a look at the WinUAE main page.
