`23.Nov.2022`	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.

`22.Nov.2022` BitFellas	Demoparty: "Zenta" (27. - 30.12) in Bingen am Rhein, Germany Traditionally, a demo party is held in Germany between Christmas and New Year: Initially named "TuM", later "Under Construction". This year there is a special edition with the "Zenta" from 27 to 30.12, because for this the old "Palazzo" building in Bingen am Rheim, which was one of the most famous techno clubs in Germany in the 90s, could be rented, before it will be converted into a hotel next year (PC invitation demo as YouTube video). The house has two floors: the lower part will be the hard action with laser shows. The upper part will be the Zen area, where there will be chill-out music, cozy corners and a relaxed atmosphere. The Amiga will be represented by 'RufUsul' from the demo group Abyss, among others. There will also be various competitions, where all platforms are allowed. (dr) [News message: 22.
