ConfGui is a GUI-builder for configuration files. It creates a graphical user interface from a script file and is loaded in the following way: "confgui g=s:indent.dlg c=.indent.pro". Short help texts can be displayed as Bubble-Help. Therefore it makes the use of programs easier with many configuration paramters.

Linux-PPC: Floppy patch 1.0
Pavel Fedin aka Sonic released Floppy driver patch for Linux 2.6.8 kernel. This patch allows to use a floppy drive in non-DMA mode on PegasosPPC machines. To use it:
  1. Do not build floppy driver as a module, link it statically. Transferring parameters to it from insmod is still problematic, at least it doesn't work properly on the author's system.
  2. Specify floppy=nodma in kernel's arguments. Also you'll need to specify your drive type here using floppy=[Drive number],[Drive type],cmos. For example, floppy=0,4,cmos specifies type 4 (1.44 mb 3.5") for drive 0.
This patch does not affect operation of the driver in DMA mode so it's safe to use on any platform.

Aminet back online, volunteers needed
To compensate the breakdown of us.aminet.net, a new Aminet main server has been established which can be reached at www.aminet.net or main.aminet.net. Aminet now uses a completely new web interface written by Nicolas Mendoza, originally implemented for amirepo.net. As most of the internal scripts as well as the new web interface had to be adapted or have been rewritten from scratch, there still might be some rough edges, smaller bugs or dead links left - but Aminet is working again and uploads are getting processed.

Please note that currently only the main server is working properly, mirrors are not being updated yet and uploads at mirror sites are ignored. This will be addressed later on - for now please stick to the URLs given above to access Aminet. If you want to upload to Aminet, use your favourite FTP client to connect to main.aminet.net and upload to the "new" directory as outlined in Aminet's help files.

Urban Mueller, founder and main administrator of Aminet, is going to retire as soon as the new infrastructure is in place. He will be hosting the main server but will no longer be part of the administration team. The exact details of Aminet's future administration structure are not decided yet, but amiga-news.de is currently assembling a new team that will be responsible for Aminet in the future.

Volunteers wanted

We are searching for one or two volunteers that could assist us in moderating uploads. An upload moderator should meet the following requirements:
  • Basic knowledge about Unix shells (moving, deleting, renaming files)
  • Broadband Internet access
  • English speaker

If you fullfill these requirements and would like to become a part of the new Aminet team, please contact us at team@amiga-news.de. (cg)

Guide: overclocking a Pegasos up to 1264 MHz
Matthias Münch created an article with the help of Thomas Lohmann under the title link in which he describes how to overclock the processor of a Pegasos board. According to Lohmann is the G4 card running without any problem at 1264 MHz.

Attention: If you should do such an overclocking you risk to damage your processor card or the mainboard. And you will lose warranty. (snx) (Translation: wk)

MorphOS: Updates of Devedie, MPlayer, MEncoder, Bochs, Help and MOS-Tools

Devedie 1.1.0

Team AmiRUS has published a new version of Devedie for MorphOS. This is now a nearly complete graphical user-interface for MPlayer. The program requires the following special versions of MPlayer and (optional) MEncoder.

Download: devedie_1.1.0.lha (236 KB)

MPlayer & MEncoder 0.91

Fabien Coeurjoly added an ARexx support to the version 0.91 of the video play program MPlayer and to the video editing programm MEncoder.

Download:
mplayer_0.91.lha (1.5 MB)
mencoder_0.91.lha (1.5 MB)

Bochs 2.1.1

The x86-PC-Emulator Bochs is now available in the current version 2.1.1 for MorphOS.

Download: bochs_2.1.1_mos.lzx (629 KB)

Help 0.92

The help progrmm for the MorphOS-Shell written by Nicolas Ramz which delivers information to over 100 commands as well as arguments and examples is now available in version 0.92.

The Memtest- and missing ARexx-commands have been added. Additionally the description of the Alias-commands has been completed and some orthography errors fixed.

Download: Help_v09.lha (119 KB)

MOS-Tools

In the MOS-tools for the Shell are collected the is_shift & is_alt as well as randbootpic. The first ones wait for the String- or Alt-key and give back WARN (otherwise 0).

The command randbootpic copies a random file from a chosen directory as cgxbootpic.library to the directory MOSSYS:libs/cgxbootpic.library to change the bootpic.

IRC-Client: WookieChat 1.4 (Beta)
WookieChat is a MUI-based IRC-client for AmigaOS 3/4 (screenshot). In version 1.4 "DCC GET" as well as the support for colourful texts have been added.

According to the author the colour support does not still work perfectly: Iconifying or starting the MUI-Prefs may cause colour bugs if the program uses a seperate screen. This can be undone by entering "/a".

The 68k-version becomes instable after some server connections because the string which contains the nickname is overwritten in the memory. The author is grateful for some feedback.
