European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects founded
A lot of European initiatives for archiving software and computer games, e.g. the Software Preservation Society - originally called "Classic Amiga Preservation Society" (CAPS) - have founded an umbrella association which is called "European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects" (EFGAMP).
Task of the EFGAMP will be supposed to be the improvement of the technical and regulatory framework for archiving interactive digital contents. Those tasks are to be achieved by lobbying as well as networking and exchanging knowledge with other projects.

Press release: Bassano del Grappa (Italy) - 24 March 2012
ACube Systems is happy to release a package to explore and enhance the capabilities of the LatticeXP FPGA available on the Sam440ep mini-itx and flex-atx boards.
With the manual, examples and tools of the package it's possible to implement new functionalities into the FPGA, to further strengthen your AmigaOS experience on your Sam440ep board.
The package contains:
- VHDL source code (released under GPL) of the firmware currently used on Sam440ep boards
- the original bitstream installed at the factory (to restore the original firmware)
- a porting of the VME12 utility which can reprogram, via the JTAG interface, the FPGA on the fly under AmigaOS 4.1 (*)
(*) a simple hardware modification and a cable are required

Elbox: "New edition" of FastATA is a bogus claim
Four weeks ago Elbox promoted an alleged new edition of its IDE-controller: With the "FastATA MK-IV CF/SATA" users now could connect modern mass storage like SSD or SATA-harddrives to an Amiga.
In the English product description in the Elbox-shop it is not particularly mentioned that it is a new revision of the hardware or that the CompactFlash and SATA-ports are on the board but the written words legen are rather clear: "The FastATA 4000 MK-IV CF/SATA is designed to simultaneously use up to four devices: one Compact Flash card, one SATA drive and two to four PATA devices".
As things turned out the promoted product is the "old" controller "FastATA MK-IV" which has been unchanged available for years. It is now delivered with two standard adapters for connecting CompactFlash or SATA devices to an IDE-controller. Both adapters have to be connected with standard PATA-cables to the FastATA and separately supplied with power:
Although the PATA-SATA-adapter is a standard device which Elbox has bought from a external distributor, for unknown reasons the labeling of chip was removed in order to um complicate its identifying.
(we would like to thank "Amiga-Aktivist" for his kind permission to publish pictures he has taken)
