ACube: Firmware update for Sam 440ep
ACube Systems has released a firmware update for his PPC-motherboards "Sam 440ep": The Mini-ITX as well as the Flex versions are supported. Mainly the changes are supposed to improve the compatibility with Radeon-HD graphic boards:
- improved gfx cards setup, it solves compatibility problems with some Radeon HD cards
- better internal PCI bridge setup for a slight faster RAM <-> VRAM transfer speed
- added PEX 8112 PCI – PCIE bridge setup (used on some Radeon HD PCI variant cards)
- added a new menu entry to enable/disable IRQ on an external PCI gfx card (try disabling IRQ if the system seems freezed after loading the AOS4.1 kickstart files, for example)
The update and the source codes can be downloaded at ACube. Both update methods - ISO-image or TFTP - are descibed in the "Installation Guide".

Elbox: FastATA 4000 MK-VII CF/SATA Black Edition
Elbox has announced the production of a "limited edition" of the IDE-controller FastATA 4000 MK-VII, which from now on can be ordered in the Elbox shop. Because the producer has called it a "Black Edition", the board is black, similar to the versions of the PCI-busboards.

TCP stack: Roadshow 1.12
Press release: The Roadshow TCP/IP stack for the Amiga has been updated to version 1.12 and is available immediately. An updated demonstration version is available too, as well as the updated software development kit.
A free update is available for customers using Roadshow 1.11, upgrading it to version 1.12. Note: if you are still using Roadshow 1.8 you need to upgrade to version 1.11 first before you can upgrade to version 1.12.
The changes in Roadshow 1.12 are as follows:
- A buffer overflow bug has been fixed which could occur when
querying network interface hardware addresses. This bug could
cause the "ShowNetStatus" command to crash.
- The ftp command has been reworked, fixing bugs which had been
present for years (buffer overflows, etc.).
- Overlapping name resolution operations can no longer collide
with each other so easily and produce corrupt query data. This
problem could occur only very rarely.
- New API functions for name resolution have been added, which are
common in the Unix world, for which no alternatives had been
available before. These enhancements are new for Amiga
TCP/IP software in general.
- If Roadshow sets up a network interface using the DHCP protocol
it can now request that the DHCP server sends its responses
directly to Roadshow (unicast) instead of broadcasting them to
the local network.
- Changing the system clock time (e.g. during daylight saving
time transitions) no longer affect Roadshow's internal
time keeping.
- A new ready-made network configuration file for PCMCIA cards
using the "cnet16.device" driver is provided under
"Storage/NetInterfaces/CNet16").
- The reference documentation has been updated.
More detailed descriptions of the changes can be found in the "ReadMe" file of the Roadshow archive, and the SDK archive.
