Announcement: The Amiga-News.de Advent Calendar 2022
Dear readers, each of us probably associates something different with the Advent season: for some, it starts as early as September, since from then on you can stock up on gingerbread and speculoos. Another may look forward to the Christmas markets. In recent years, there has been a nice trend that, in addition to the large and classic markets, there are also small artists' and neighborhood markets that give a hint of the secrecy of childhood.
But two things should be mandatory for everyone - with or without family offspring: an Advent calendar and storytelling. If the simple picture advent calendars or the ones filled with a chocolate figure, which are still known from earlier days, are enough or if it should be the variants filled with perfume, toys and technology, which have almost reached the realm of small furniture in terms of size and weight, is a matter of taste. With our Amiga-News.de advent calendar we want to take up this nice tradition of the calendar as well as the story telling.

8-/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal V2022-11-25
Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now.

Report: The AmigaOne XE, third part (Czech)
In the first part, Martina Hřebcová had devoted herself to the AmigaOne XE in its entirety and subjected it to various tests. The second part dealt in detail with the use of various graphics cards and prepared test results and correlations.
The now available third part (machine translation) is a loose continuation of the two previous parts and deals with hardware interrupts in the AmigaOne XE. It is on the one hand an essay about the theoretical basics, on the other hand a tutorial how to correct a faulty U-Boot PCI initialization so that PCI cards can be used correctly using a PCI-to-PCI(e) bridge.
