Hyperion: Costel Mincea becomes third director
As a result of Hyperion's temporary banckruptcy earlier this year, director Ben Hermans had announced in May that the company would be restructured. There were no further statements regarding this matter, but apparently just two days later Belgium's central company register (KBO, "Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen") has been updated to list a new member of the management body.
On May 4th, Costel Mincea has been added as a third director ("Bestuurder"). Mincea, also known under his nickname 'Cyborg', has been an active member of the Amiga community for quite some time. He's a member of the AmigaOS 4 team, part of the Aminet team and had been organizing a centralised buying of AmigaOne audio chips in 2006. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Computer Collection Vienna: Videos of CDTV-CR
On the YouTube channel of the "Computer Collection Vienna" new videos of the rather unknown and seldom (less than ten pieces out of 64 are still preserved) CDTV-CR (S/N #55) are available.
Further information, pictures and videos as well as a documentation of the system will be added as soon as possible. Additional to many changes, the display was explicitly improved. The system only contains the used custom-ICs "BEAUTY" and "GRACE" as well as CD-interface similar to the CD³² (with Sony-KSS-210A-Laser).
PCMCIA-boards do not fit into the slot. The Boot ROM has v3.3 (the CDTV has v1.0 and just like the A570 v2.30). According to the developers it is said: 'The ROMs are definitely different! Some of the differences are the 4510 code for the front panel buttons and displays, and the CD controllers are all completely different as well as the 68000 code to interface to the 4510 subsystem.'"

- Find out which components are connected to the same signal net
- Get a quick overview on chip pinouts
- Locate any part on the PCB
- Navigate around the PCB and marvel at its beauty
The author wrote: "Right now, the only available mainboard is the A4000 Desktop PCB (Rev B). Support for more boards may be added later."
