New PowerPC Products for the Classic Amiga (update)
ACK Software Controls, Inc. is pleased to announce two new products for the Amiga 1200. The first product is a Freescale 8245 based CPU card clocked at 400 MHz.

The card will have a SODIMM slot for memory expansion and also includes a Silicon Images 680 IDE controller and a Radeon Mobility graphics chip. This CPU card will fit in standard A1200 cases, but a towered system is recommended.

The second product is a modular busboard and CPU combination for use with towered A1200 machines. The bus board features an AGP 1X slot and three PCI slots. Additional features of the busboard include two DDR DIMM slots for memory expansion, a Silicon Images 680 IDE controller, onboard USB and ethernet. The CPU card will initially be a 750CXe product, but other CPUs will be available.

Both products will ship with an OEM version of AmigaOS 4 and contain a version of U-Boot as the firmware. Products are presently in prototype form running Linux and will be available in Q1 2005. Additional information will follow in the new year.

Sincerely,

Adam Kowalczyk
ACK Software Controls, Inc.

Update: (24.12.04, 2:30, cg)

In a thread on amiga.org, Adam Kowalczyk states that similar expansions are in the works as well. (cg) (Translation: cg)

MorphOS: System patch "Zapper"
"Zapper" modifies the ZipWindow() function of the intuition.library, i.e. the behaviour of the "Zoom" gadget at the top right border of a window. Instead of switching between two different window sizes, it resizes the window to full screen by click now. If the title bar is enabled that will be kept free.

Zapper also may be used in "Smart Resizing" mode which resizes windows only on the not already used screen area and does not hide other windows.

Direct download: zapper_0.9.lha (20 KB) (Readme) (cg) (Translation: ub)

Amiforce/Abakus-Design: Seasonig greetings and Snowman (Classic)
With Snowman (Classic) a tiny Christmas game is available at Abakus-Design. Unfortunately an entire new game was due lack of time not possible and the same reason lead to only minor changes to the game:

The game is running in 800x600 with any colour depth. Also on classic Amigas it should run without problems. Some new figures were pixeled which are now on wood plates. Thus, the game comes closer to the C64 original version. The archive is about 10 MB in size.

Last but not least Telemar Rosenberger and Franz Schlick wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2005. (cg) (Translation: ub)

Robin Hood coming for MorphOS
"Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood", originally developed by Spellbound Entertainment for the PC, will soon continue his adventures on the Pegasos. The MorphOS version of Robin Hood has just reached "first playable" on the Pegasos. A demo version will be released soon and the game is expected to start shipping in QI/2005 for MorphOS.

About "Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood":

Do not only take on the role of the hero Robin Hood, but also the roles of his faithful vassals and take them to the battle field against the nasty Prince John Lackland. In doing so you are able to enjoy the fabulous English landscape of 1190 as well as the giant castles and funny characters. The thrilling story is introduced by an award-winning introduction and transfers you directly into the hero\s body with the first mission, in which you have to set the captive comrades free. Take up the battle against the oppressors and free the farmers from the Prince\s reign! Be smart, be fast! Be Robin Hood!

Features:
  • More than 30 non-linear missions in which, for instance, you have to save Little John and Brother Tuck and prevent a wedding between Marianne and the revolting Guy of Gisbourne or attack the taxation collectors of the Sheriff of Nottingham
  • Visit five giant castles on different ways, at day and night times, and at different weather conditions
  • Play with up to nine integrated characters being outstanding due to their specific abilities and qualities
  • Due to an innovative fighting system you are able to control the hero\s sword in battles by mouse
  • Decide yourself which tactic appears to be the right one for you: reach the goal by creeping around the guards or fight bravely using sword and bow
System requirements:
  • Pegasos I/II at 600 MHz or better
  • 128 MB RAM
  • Radeon 7000 or better
  • MorphOS 1.4.x
