`16.Nov.2022`	Experimental operating system for the Amiga 4000: Apollo Dietmar Planitzers unfortunately named "Apollo" project is an experimental operating system for the Amiga 4000. It is incompatible to existing systems, but tries to implement modern concepts on the Commodore computer - the author mentions a process management built around dispatch queues similar to Apple's Grand Central Dispatch as one example. Interested users need to compile Apollo themselves, the project is being developed on MacOS using the integrated development environment Xcode. Currently the only software available is a bunch of unit tests - which have to be invoked manually, since there's no automated unit testing framework yet. (cg) [News message: 16.

`11.Nov.2022` Amiga Future (website)	Do it yourself: Sound card Prelude replica (Update) The Zorro II sound card Prelude supported recording and playing in full-duplex mode at a resolution of 16 bit and a frequency of upto 64 kHz. Those who are interested in building a replica themselves can find a corresponding project - inluding the expansion module MPEGit - at the title link. Update: (14.11.22, 08:00, snx) The GitHub repository has been removed meanwhile. As the developer of the replica, Alexander Engelhardt, told us, it had been just a backup, while by himself his work has been just released at a1k.org so far. The reason is that he would like to wait for possible bug reports first, an official release will follow. (snx) [News message: 11. Nov. 2022, 13:50] [Comments: 1 - 14.

`09.Nov.2022` Twitter	RastPort: KA02 - Improved version of external PCMCIA adapter Grzegorz Kraszewski's RastPort designs and manufactures accesories and expansions for Amiga computers. At the end of 2018, he had presented his project "KA02": a PCMCIA adapter for the Amiga 1200 in a standard desktop case. With the adapter, the PCMCIA card is placed vertically on the side of the Amiga and thus takes up much less space on the desk. Now he has published on Twitter a first photo of a variant that has an improved plug-in part. Inserting it into the slot is much easier that way, he says. (dr) [News message: 09.
