Workbench-Distribution: AmiKit 8.5.1 on an USB-stick under WinUAE
The Workbench distribution AmiKit, which is meant for emulators, is available in version 8.5.1.
For the first time the distribution can be purchased as "Special Amiga 30 Years Edition" on an USB-stick. Contrary to previous versions, WinUAE is used instead of E-UAE, which runs on an adapted Linux distribution named AmiPUP. This provides higher speed and stability.
Using the new function "Rabbit Hole" it is now possible to launch Windows and Linux programms and to open files from the Amiga section.

AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: Preversion of "Amiga Racer"
On some pictures of the "Amiga 30" in Neuss a DVD-case with a cover of a game named "Amiga Racer" could be seen. Under the address amigatec.com currently there is only a website which is under construction.
The blog "Amiga Spiele News" made further investigations and found out, that "AmigaTec Inc." is Michael St Neitzel, who is going to develop games for AmigaOS 4 - on Youtube there is a promotional video which introduces the "company" AmigaTec.
Back to "Amiga Racer": In a Facebook group, which obviously is only accessable to invited members, an early version of the game can be downloaded. After the programm was launched, it can be updated.
The Spanish blog "Amiga Discovery" has found a snapshot of the event Amiga 30, which shows the game. As you can see, the game also runs under MorphOS.

ACube und A-EON: PPC motherboard A1222 "Tabor" revealed
The hardware vendors ACube and A-EON seem to have established a partnership: during the German "Amiga 30" event, a new PPC motherboard named "A1222" or "Tabor" was discussed for the first time. There are no official statements yet, but the information that has reached us so far suggests the following specifications:
- Dualcore 1,2Ghz, CPU not known yet
- 8Gb DDR 3 RAM
- MiniITX form factor
- price between 700 and 1000 Euro
Two pictures that were posted to the italian Amiga portal ikirsektor.it show the actual motherboard aswell as printed manuals for installing Linux on the "A1222":
Update: (11.10.15, 18:00, cg)
According to visitors of the "Amiga 30" event, a QorIQ P1022 is used as Tabor's CPU. This processor is equipped with a FPU that is incompatible to that of most other Power CPUs - especially those used in AmigaOS 4 hardware. Apparently, emulating a 'regular' FPU in software is possible - though having to perform all floating point calculations in software would drastically reduce performance in some areas (graphics, sound, 3D).
