AROS: Turrican clone Hurrican
Hurrican is a clone of the well-known Turrican. Georg Steger has ported the SDL-version of the game to AROS.

The AROS-port currently is a debug version. Additionally Hurrican requires hardware accelerated OpenGL. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Apollo accelerator boards: Purchase of Mach-131-Chips possible
On request by a petition Individual Computers offers all interested users Mach-131- and EPROM-Chips for Apollo-1260 accelerator boards for 150 Euro each plus shipping as spare parts.

Yet Jens Schönfeld emphasized that he would prefer that the existing Apollo boards may little by little be taken out of service because they to impact negatively the system stability. His offer therefore means that there will be no support for Amigas with an Apollo board any longer.

After 267 sold chip upgrades Jens Schönfeld offers the opportunity to release the Jedec-file of the Mach-131 of the Apollo 1260 for non-commercial purposes. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Pictures: Amiga 4000/060 with 100 MHz
After André 'Ratte' Pfeiffer succeeded in overclocking an Amiga 4000 with 68060-processor to 90 MHz (amiga-news.de reported) he now succeeded in overclocking an Apollo-4060 accelerator board to 100 MHz.

According to him the CPUs of revision 6 have a dispersion of 90-115 MHz. You can find some pictures of the computer and some information under the title link as well as links to overclocking hints for Apollo-4060- and -1260 accelerator boards. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AMOS-Reimplementation: jAMOS and XAMOS 0.24
jAMOS and XAMOS are now available in version 0.24 vor.

Changes (jAMOS):
  • Various more bug fixes and code refactoring in line with XAMOS 0.24
  • Can now translate AMAL and AMAL EnvGen code into C++ as well as Java, in line with XAMOS's new AMAL support
Changes (XAMOS):
  • AMAL is now implemented in line with jAMOS 0.24, including AMAL Environment Generator. All AMAL examples from jAMOS are added and runnable in XAMOS
  • Can translate AMAL (and EnvGen) code into both C++ and Java
  • Much code refactoring and debugging
  • Removed default startup sound for run-only version (too irritating)
  • A console-based launcher is added for launching all 40 included examples, along with a batch file

AROS-Distribution AspireOS 1.9
Nikolaos Tomatsidis has published an update archive of a new version of his AROS-distribution AspireOS. Mainly this distribution was written for the Acer-netbook Aspire One and does completely support the Toshiba-notebook Satellite Pro A200. It should also run on other hardware but this is not officially supported.

Additional to updated system files the distribution includes now the word processing Cinnamon Writer as well as the MIDI-player Timidity. The sound output of the games Duke Nukem and Hexen 2 does only work with the updated files from the AROS-Archives because the AspireOS game archive was still not updated.

The media center AMC, an update of LoView as well as up2date are included as well. Additional to new wallpapers and other graphics AspireOS 1.9 can now play Youtube videos by clicking the little numbers which are below the videos.

Download: aspireos_upd_v1.9-i386.zip (84 MB) (snx) (Translation: dr)

A-Eon has been restructured and moved to Wales
A-Eon Technology, the company behind the AmigaOne X1000, was founded in 2009 as a CVBA ("Coöperatieve Vennootschap met Beperkte Aansprakelijkheid") - a cooperative company with limited liability. The company's main offices are located in Brussels, the main shareholders are Trevor Dickinson, Anthony Moorley and Ben Hermans (Hyperion).

For quite a while, there have been rumours that the company headquarters were about to be moved to Great Britain and that Ben Hermans and Anthony Moorley were no longer shareholders. On its recently redesigned website the company refers to itself as "A-Eon Technology Ltd.", according to Great Britian's company database it was founded two months ago and is headquartered in Cardiff, Wales.

The names of the shareholders are only available for a fee, but another well-known Amiga company is located in Cardiff: Leaman Computing Ltd., better known as Amigakit - the official X1000-distributor.

At director-check.co.uk, Matthew Leaman (Amigakit) is indeed listed as a director of A-Eon Technology, which indicates partnership in the company aswell. Trevor Dickinson's blog on A-Eon's website aswell as his behaviour on English Amiga portals suggest that he is still involved in A-Eon aswell. If the other founding members Anthony Moorley and Ben Hermans are still involved with the company is not known at the time of writing. (cg) (Translation: dr)
