AmigaOS 4: User report on the SATA PCI card from Rabbit Hole
In mid-March, George 'walkero' Sokianos published a review of the SATA PCI Hard Card from Rabbit Hole under AmigaOS 4 on IntuitionBase (amiga-news.de reported). This card comes with a 256 GB M.2 SSD, which is already connected and ready for use.
Now Daniel 'trixie' Jedlicka has also decided to use this solution to provide an additional backup hard drive for his AmigaOne X5000 and reports about it in a new blog entry on his Ko-fi website.

AROS distribution: AROS One portable 2.8 (x86)
In addition to the AROS distribution "AROS One" for x86 computers, which is available as a DVD ISO file or USB flash ("VHD") image (amiga-news.de reported), there is now a separate portable version for USB sticks (video), which contains AROS ONE 2.8 (32-bit) and can be run directly from it. This project was created for users who want to explore AROS without having to install it on a hard drive or for users who want to use AROS on their existing hardware instead of investing in dedicated other hardware.
System requirements:
- (reasonably) up-to-date x86-64 (64-bit) computer hardware
- USB 3.0 support
- Screen resolution 1920 x 1080

Demoparty: Outline 2025 (Ommen/NL, 29.5.-01.6.)
Since 2004, the Outline has been celebrated as a demo party with DJs, live acts and demo competitions and, as every year, takes place on the long weekend around Ascension Day: this year from 29 May to 1 June in Ommen (Netherlands), near the border with Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.
Started as an Atari party and counterpart to Breakpoint, all platforms are now welcome, as the competitions show: the demo, intro, graphics and music competitions are almost completely open to so-called oldskool and newskool systems, but with a focus on 8-bit computers and PCs.

Preview video: Arcade game "Gemdalus"
RETREAM is about to create "Gemdalus" (video), an arcade game in which the player has to collect all the gems scattered around the labyrinths.
