`09.Sep.2006` Troika (ANF)	Troika NG: Soundmax codec chosen for Amy'05 As Troika announced in the following press release they chose the AD1888 by Analog Devices for the announced Amy'05 board that is distributed under the trademark Soundmax. Press release - Troika NG would like to announce that we have chosen a fine industry standard AC97 codec, the AD1888 manufactured by Analog Devices, marketed under the Soundmax® brand. The sound codec is used in our Project “Prometheus”/ Amy’05. This fine device brings many features (including AD’s special filters) used in Asus motherboards and Creative products, etc., to the Amiga community. In our design we use 6 audio connectors to provide a full surround sound system: Front, Left side, Right side, Center, Surround Sound via audio jacks and an SPDIF output through a standard RCA connector. We also include an internal Intel™ HD-Audio standard header for case connections and so much more! Some technical details: “The AD1888 is a 6 channel (supporting 5.1 surround sound) AC'97 2.3 compatible codec. It features SPDIF output, variable sample rates, 20-bit DACs, and multiple stereo analog inputs along with many cost saving features including: integrated headphone amplifiers, selectable microphone inputs with built-in preamplifiers, jack sensing (with auto-topology switching), hardware channel spreading and downmixing, as well as crystal-free operational modes.” (snx) (Translation: wk) [News message: 09.

`08.Sep.2006`	PPC-Hardware: "Samantha" with PPC440 and ATI-onboard graphic? In a thread at amigaworld.net a photo was posted that shows a small part of the PPC motherboard nicknamed "Samantha" that will be introduced at the Italian show Pianeta Amiga (September 23 and 24, Empoli). The picture shows a part of the PCB that seems to be prepared to host two somewhat bigger chips. The pinout of the right area indicates that a PPC440 CPU might be placed at this position. The PPC440 is a SoC (System on a Chip) CPU available with up to 667 Mhz. As of yet, it's not known which chip will be put on the mounting area shown on the left part of the picture. Since the CPU used doesn't need a traditionell northbridge, an on-board graphics chip could be placed there. Interesting in this context: On an Italian forum, Massimiliano "m3X" Tretene of Soft3, one of the initiators of the project, identifies himself as an "ATI OEM partner".
