`27.Jan.2017` Amiga Future (Webseite)	AmigaOS 4 / AROS / MorphOS: SnapIT 1.4 SnapIT written by Stefan Blixth (OnyxSoft) is a "powerful screen grabber" for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS/x86 (screenshot). The version of MorphOS can save the screenshots as different formats by using Reggae. Generally version 1.4 now can be used without a user-interface. Changes: Reggae-support for saving data which includes a lot more formats to save to (MorphOS only) Missed to apply translation to the ASL-window (save file as...) Fixed that the free grab works as intended if the program was started iconified Added Greek translation by Anthony Iliakis Using latest MUI4 on OS4 to set the "aiming" pointer when using freegrab mode Now possible to grab a screen and save it without using the GUI (cli argument) Added CX_POPKEY / CX_POPUP handling Modified SnapIT so it can only be started in one instance, run it twice, uniconifies the first instance Included a updated Spanish guide file by Victor Gutiérrez Removed the requester when starting the program without a keyfile (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 27.

`24.Jan.2017` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	MorphOS: Calimero 3.82 Carsten Siegner's Calimero "is a powerfull DTP program" which can handle spreedsheets (screenshot) now of the formats EPUB (photo 1) and ODT (photo 2). The comic picture shown in the document is a WMF image format file which can be converted by Calimero into other formats. The spreedsheets in the ODT-documents for example in OpenOffice can be moved without limitations, thus do not depend on lines.

`24.Jan.2017`	A500 accelerator board: HC508 in progress Another accelerator board for the Amiga 500 is in development called HC508 which is based on a 68HC000 processor clocked with 50 Mhz and according to the developer is fully compatible to the 68000. The hardware has been tested for a loner time, the layout is final. The HC508 has the following features: 68HC000 CPU with 50 MHz, 100% MC68000 compatible IDE-port (40 pin) for HD and CD-ROM integrated port for CF-cards 8 MB FastRAM (1 wait state) 512k FlashROM for Kickstart (1 wait state) Tool for disabling/enabling of all moduls (CPU, RAM, ROM, IDE) It is still not clear how the board will be sold.

`24.Jan.2017`	PCMCIA driver: CFD 1.33 (Update) CFD ("CompactFlashDevice") supports using CompactFlash memory cards on the PCMCIA-Port of an A600 or A1200. Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released an update of the driver which improves compatibility with SD-cards (inserted via SD-CF-adapter). The updated driver also could provide support of a higher number of CF memory cards. Update: (08:05, 27.08.17, snx) As Grzegorz Kraszewski points out in a comment, this driver update has been created by Paul Carter and not by himself. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 24.

`24.Jan.2017`	New PCMCIA angle connector: KA37 (Update) Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski offers another angle connector for the PCMCIA port of the A1200 or A600 called "KA37" which is mostly required if the Amiga was put into a tower. The "KA37" is available for about 21 Euro and thus cheaper than similar products of Amigakit or Elbox. However, Krashan only accepts Bitcoin (0.0249 Bitcoin). You can order the connector via email from the developer. Update: (09:25, 30.01.2017, snx) Grzegorz Kraszewski mentions in a comment that PayPal and SEPA transfers are also accepted, although they are not advertised on the webpage.
