File system: SmartFileSystem 1.245
The latest version of the alternative file systems Smart Filesystem (SFS) recognizes too big partitions now (see below) and
will not format those.Existing over sized partitions are accessable in read only mode.
Current maximum sizes for SFS formated partitions:
- 64 GB at 512 bytes/block
- 128 GB at 1024 bytes/block
- 256 GB at 2048 bytes/block
- 512 GB at 4096 bytes/block
- 1 TB at 8192 bytes/block
- 2 TB at 16384 or 32768 bytes/block
If one of your partitions exceeds these maximum values it is very recomended not to use older versions of SFS any longer: Somewhen a data loss will happen!

AHT: Work-in-progress pictures of the graphics card daVinci
Following the title link you can find first pictures of the announced Zorro III graphics card daVinci (working title: AmiVD) developed by AHT International BV. The company is moving from Great Britain to Stellendam in the NEtherlands.
The board's development has reached beta state and is running without limitations (2D, 3D and DMA). Still to do are firther quality tests as well as driver adaptions for further PCI cards including sound cards.
The graphics card daVinci has an additional free PCI slot enabling the use of a selected number of PCI cards. Both slots are completely DMA enabled.
Depending on the asked number of boards is a Zorro II version still a possibility but this needs quite a few changes in the software.
Further information are available on the website of AHT as soon as they can be given.

Pegasos posters available
Today the Pegasos poster from APC&TCP are available. All advances in order were
delivered yet.
The motives are "Horse" and "Cool Computing" as they can be found on the
mousepads by APC&TCP. The posters have A1 oblong format. If it is wanted
the posters also can be delivered rolled (instead of folded) but this is much
more expensive. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS4: Support of ESI Juli@ soundcards
Because of a AHI driver by Davy Wentzler AmigaOS4 now also supports the high-quality
soundcard Juli@
from ESI/Egosys. The digital, MIDI- and Stereo-LineIn and -Out of the card are supported
which also offers playing and recording up to 192 kHz at 24-Bit as well as the choice
between RCA- and TRS-port.
The support of the card is managed by the Envy24HT driver which already also allows
the use of soundcards Terratec Aureon 5.1 Sky, 7.1 Space, Phase28 and M-Audio
Revolution.
The author points out that the chips of the card obviously have been changed (from
a Envy24 to a Env24HT or Envy24HT-S). Possibly different codecs were used. The
soundcard used by Davy Wentzler was new if you buy a new card it would work.
The driver will be available in the OS4Depot during the next days.
The author thanks Krister Skrtic for the support developing the driver of this card
as well as Egosys for making available the complete source code (!)
and the documentation of the Windows drivers.

MorphOS: D2A-Patch integrates Magellan-Lister to Ambient
The Dopus2Ambient-Commoditypatch written by Jacek 'jacaDcaps' Piszczek and Marcin 'MorgothDCaps' Kurek
is a hack which makes it possible to open Magellan-Lister with a double click
in Ambient.
The ARexx-interface is used for it. Additional to ARexx Magellan and Ambient
(therefore also the icon.library and workbench.library) have to be started.
In order to hide the Magellan window the backdrop-modus must be deactivated. Now
you can start D2A and/or copy it to your WBStartup directory.
Please also note the known problems which are described in the Readme-file.
