Sam 460ex: Setup-Utility for better performance
Max 'm3x' Tretene by ACube Systems has published Sam460ex_setup which is a little programm for improving the performance of these PowerPC-boards. It is started from WBStartup or the user-startup sequence. In the future with an AmigaOS-4.1-kernel would be not necessary any longer.

With the programm, "Store Gathering" is enabled in CCR0-register. Thereby the write performance of data for PCI-Express graphic boards is doubled (up to 320 MB/s for Radeon X1950 and up to 300 MB/s for a Radeon HD 4650). PCI-boards will get a performance increase by 50%.

AmigaOS 4: English dictionary WordNet 3.4
WordNet is a database of the English language. The port for AmigaOS 4 was written by Daniel Jedlicka (Screenshot). For audio output the flite.device is required.

Changes:
  • New: WordNet can now operate in two different user modes. The default "Learner" mode only displays sense overviews, providing an easier and faster access to word meanings. When in this mode, WordNet looks and works like a traditional electronic dictionary. The more advanced "Linguist" mode shows all possible linguistic information about the searched words
  • New: The Preferences window now replaces the original Settings menu
  • New: Pop-up gadget and menu in the window bar (OS4.1 Update 3 required)
  • New: WordNet can now be pushed to any currently opened public screen using the jump-to-screen feature (OS4.1 Update 3 required), accessible from the pop-up menu
  • Update: The program no longer relies on an external viewer (such as MultiView) to display its help file. Online help is now provided using AmigaGuide Library
  • Update: Optimized GUI initialization: the program now starts up a bit faster
  • Update: Major code overhaul with numerous little fixes and optimizations
Download: wordnet.lha (11 MB) (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Several MIDI-libraries and tools
Lyle Hazelwood has published an update of the camd.library, which for the first time has been completely adapted to AmigaOS 4 and therefore is 60% smaller than the previous versions which were ported from AROS. Additionally some minor bugs were fixed.

In order to complete the new version of the library, Hazelwood additionally has published new versions of the CAMD Tools and of the USB-MIDI driver. Finally he has published the MIDI-Player as well as SoftSyn which is a software synthesizer which can play MIDI-tracks without MIDI-hardware. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOne X1000: Delivery of second batch from July till December (Update)
As AmigaKit announces at the title link as well as in an e-mail sent yesterday to all potential buyers registered with them, production of the second batch of A-EON Technology's AmigaOne X1000 will be finished this month. Therefore, these First Contact computers will be assembled and shipped starting in July on a first-come, first-served basis in order of registration and deposit of 425 Pound Sterling.

The second batch will include new firmware and driver updates, which will be made available to existing customers as well. Details on this will be announced later. Presumably unintended, the way of sending the e-mail also disclosed that in addition to purchasers of the first batch, there seem to be at least 150 users currently interested in also buying an AmigaOne X1000.

Update: (21:54, 12.06.12,snx)
Number of potential buyers adjusted, based on the only currently verified information. (snx)

Event: Commodore Vegas Expo 2012 (USA)
Robert Bernardo writes: "The 2012 Commodore Vegas Expo v8, a.k.a. CommVEx, is coming July 28-29 to the Las Vegas Club Hotel, 18 Fremont St., Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.

Once again we are looking forward to a good show with an international group of attendees enjoying the Commodores and Amiga computers that will be exhibited. Members of the Fresno Commodore User Group, Clark County Commodore Computer Club (of Las Vegas), the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network, and the Portland Commodore User Group will be swarming in.

We'll have a number of raffle prizes, everybody has a chance for door prizes, we'll have a sales table, and there is the freebie table. We'll have the games competition for cash and more. And we'll be busy with presentations of old and new software and old and new hardware. That's right... new hardware which will be premiering at the show.

If our event is not enough to whet your show appetite, you can also wander off to Def Con and get into really subversive hacking or to RollerCon and attend classes and watch the roller girls race around the track." (snx)

MorphOS: Tweaks for improving speed and reducing memory usage (german)
At the title link, Guido 'geit' Mersmann has published some tips how to reduce the amount of RAM used by MorphOS and gain some speed - especially with regard to the comparatively limited Efika boards.

While the text is in German only for now, automated translation nevertheless might give some hints. (snx)

MorphOS 3.0 released: PowerBook support & special pricing
Today, version 3.0 of the PowerPC operating system MorphOS has been released, which does also support notebooks for the first time. Additionally, from now on - among others - those source codes derived from AROS can be downloaded directly from the MorphOS homepage.

The update is free for owners of MorphOS 2.x keyfiles and includes the CD/DVD authoring application Jalapeno, the FTP/SFTP client Transfer, an updated Odyssey Web Browser, new Reggae classes and the Reggae-based music player Jukebox.

Below you can read the official press release:

"The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 3.0, the first ever public version to install on portable computers, specifically PowerBook G4 machines. In addition to the extended hardware support, users will benefit from various new features, enhancements and bug fixes. For an overview of the included changes, please read our release notes.

To celebrate the much anticipated release of MorphOS 3.0, we are furthermore offering special three-tier pricing. The prices for a keyfile are 111.11 EUR for one PowerBook G4 system, 79 EUR for one eMac, Mac mini G4, Pegasos I, Pegasos II or PowerMac G4, and 49 EUR for one EfikaPPC system.

We strongly urge owners of PowerBook G4 computers to carefully read our installation and troubleshoot guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 3.0 is available for download in our files section." (snx)

AVCodec-Plugin 1.1 published
Press release: An update of the AVCodec plugin for Hollywood 5: Infinity has just been released. This update fixes some problems with WMV video files. A new feature is that the plugin now establishes a gateway to Hollywood's sound stream interface so that Hollywood can now play audio files supported by the FFMPEG codec collection as well, for example M4A/AAC (used by iTunes). This is especially useful on systems like AROS and Linux because Hollywood doesn't support MP3 playback on these platforms by default.

You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5.0's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel) and Windows are provided.

As a result version 2.8 is making good progress and therefore could be be published before this Christmas. But they complained that developers for the MorphOS version as well as for all AROS versions are missing. More translators would be welcome as well. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Apollo accelerator boards: Purchase of Mach-131-Chips possible
On request by a petition Individual Computers offers all interested users Mach-131- and EPROM-Chips for Apollo-1260 accelerator boards for 150 Euro each plus shipping as spare parts.

Yet Jens Schönfeld emphasized that he would prefer that the existing Apollo boards may little by little be taken out of service because they to impact negatively the system stability. His offer therefore means that there will be no support for Amigas with an Apollo board any longer.

After 267 sold chip upgrades Jens Schönfeld offers the opportunity to release the Jedec-file of the Mach-131 of the Apollo 1260 for non-commercial purposes. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AROS-Distribution AspireOS 1.9
Nikolaos Tomatsidis has published an update archive of a new version of his AROS-distribution AspireOS. Mainly this distribution was written for the Acer-netbook Aspire One and does completely support the Toshiba-notebook Satellite Pro A200. It should also run on other hardware but this is not officially supported.

Additional to updated system files the distribution includes now the word processing Cinnamon Writer as well as the MIDI-player Timidity. The sound output of the games Duke Nukem and Hexen 2 does only work with the updated files from the AROS-Archives because the AspireOS game archive was still not updated.

The media center AMC, an update of LoView as well as up2date are included as well. Additional to new wallpapers and other graphics AspireOS 1.9 can now play Youtube videos by clicking the little numbers which are below the videos.

A-Eon has been restructured and moved to Wales
A-Eon Technology, the company behind the AmigaOne X1000, was founded in 2009 as a CVBA ("Coöperatieve Vennootschap met Beperkte Aansprakelijkheid") - a cooperative company with limited liability. The company's main offices are located in Brussels, the main shareholders are Trevor Dickinson, Anthony Moorley and Ben Hermans (Hyperion).

For quite a while, there have been rumours that the company headquarters were about to be moved to Great Britain and that Ben Hermans and Anthony Moorley were no longer shareholders. On its recently redesigned website the company refers to itself as "A-Eon Technology Ltd.", according to Great Britian's company database it was founded two months ago and is headquartered in Cardiff, Wales.

The names of the shareholders are only available for a fee, but another well-known Amiga company is located in Cardiff: Leaman Computing Ltd., better known as Amigakit - the official X1000-distributor.

At director-check.co.uk, Matthew Leaman (Amigakit) is indeed listed as a director of A-Eon Technology, which indicates partnership in the company aswell. Trevor Dickinson's blog on A-Eon's website aswell as his behaviour on English Amiga portals suggest that he is still involved in A-Eon aswell. If the other founding members Anthony Moorley and Ben Hermans are still involved with the company is not known at the time of writing. (cg) (Translation: dr)

NetBSD: Mediator driver in development
The NetBSD port for Amiga computers has now a first support of the PCI-busboard of the model Mediator 1200.

Network boards based on NE2000 (e.g. Realtek 8029, pictureo) already can be used. Usage of the PCI mem-space and therefore graphics cards are in development. NetBSD is adapted to the hardware with reverse engineering. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Tips for Scandoubler Indivision MK2
André "Ratte" Pfeiffer has two tips for users of an "Indivision MK2" Scandoubler developed by Individual Computers:

Solution for vertical stripes in VGA-mode

Sometimes the new IndivisionMK2 creates vertical stripes in analog VGA-mode. This problem can be fixed with an analog VGA-cable (without DVI-I port + adapter) (more information).

The producer has warned of this solution because there is a danger that the used digital-analog converter may be destroyed. In any case, of the the described solution is used it will void the warranty.

Indivision MK2 as WB-accelerator

Just like the InivisionAGA the MK2 supports the modes HighGFX and HD720. Furthermore the MK2 for the first time can display the Xtreme Mode (1280x1024). For desktop computers without graphic board the most interesting mode might be the SuperPlus Mode. The solution is equal to the Super72 Mode (800x600) but twice as fast! For the Internet with "AGA only" it might be a good compromise concerning solution, colours and speed (more information). (cg) (Translation: dr)

Dutch team announced new PPC-board for Amiga 3000/4000
Gideon Zweijtzer (among others involved in 1541 Ultimate) and Rutger Bevaart are working on a PPC-extension for Amiga 3000/4000 computers called "UltimatePPC" which also will provide USB-, SATA- and Ethernet ports as well as an integrated 2D graphic chip with DVI-port. In a duscussion on amiga.org Gideon "mousehouse" Zweijtzer has answered questions of users:

The board will have the same size as an A3640 and be equipped with a 68040 and a Freescale QorIQ P1013. Both processors will be equipped with Bus and RAM. In substance they are two completely independent systems.

The trick: The USB-, SATA- and Ethernet-controllers which are used in the P1013, which is a System on a Chip (SoC), canbe also accessed from outside and does not depend on what the processor is calculating.

Furthermore suitable operating systems will run on the Power-CPU - maybe contemporaneously with AmigaOS 3.

The detailed specifications:
  • 68040 CPU with 33 MHz and 128 MB RAM (DDR3)
  • QorIQ P1013 CPU with 1.0 GHz and 2GB RAM (DDR3, SO-DIMM)
  • USB2-controller with integrated fourfold-Hub
  • SATA2-controller with two SATA-ports
  • Ethernet-controller (10/100/1000)
  • Integrated 2D video chip with DVI-port
An unfinished prototype of UltimatePPC is to be seen on the website. The developers suppose that already at the end of the year the first orders can be accepted.

It seems to be still not clear which software will be supported: According to the FAQ a SANA2-compatible Ethernet driver is developed. For other software sections like USB or graphic support the developers only confirmed that this is "also very important".

Which PPC operating systems will run on the board also is still not clear. Harry "Piru" Sintonen has rejected to port MorphOS for it. Concerning AmigaOS 4 the original website, which meanwhile was reworked, stated that the developers will try to contact Haage&Partner... (cg) (Translation: dr)

FPGA-Arcade-Boards with Amiga-emulation available
According to Laurent 'Faranheit' Zorawski at amigaworld the FPGA-Arcade-boards with Amiga emulation can be ordered from him. The next charge of boards he expects to come in four or five weeks provided by FPGA-Arcade developer Mike Johnson. A reservation is recommended. Pictures and videos can be found under the title link.

The board consists of a 68k-processor (68000, 68010, 68020, 68EC020) as well as of the Amiga-chipsets OCS-A500, OCS-A1000, ECS and AGA. It uses 2 MB Chip-RAM and 9,5 MB Fast-RAM (57 MB Fast-RAM are announced) and can use two HDF-files and emulates four disk drives. Kickstart files from version 1.3 to 3.1 are accepted as well as different Workbench versions inclusive a 3.9-light-version. For the extension port before the end of the year a combined 68060, network and USB board with micro-SD-slot will be available (picture).

The FPGA-Arcade-Board differs from the original Minimig:
  • Further processors beyond the 68000 are emulated, the 68020EC with up to 99 MHz
  • More RAM as the 2-4 MB of the Minimig (up to 60 MB after finishing the currently tested firmware)
  • Can be used in ATX, Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX case
  • AGA-Chipsatz-Emulation
  • Extension port
  • S-Video output (will be accessable with the announced firmware update)
