A-EON Technology: Update to AmigaOne X1000
Press release, London, 7th June 2011
A-EON Technology is pleased to announce that following an extensive test programme Varisys are about to commence manufacturing the full complement of Nemo 2 motherboards for the AmigaOne X1000 Beta Test Team. As part of the pre-qualification process, Varisys have ported the PowerPC version of Debian Squeeze to demonstrate that all onboard components and subsystems are working as expected. The AmigaOS4 developers have also been busy porting the latest version of AmigaOS4.1.x
Cool Running
The energy efficiency of the PA Semi CPU was fully demonstrated during the testing phase. A thermal imaging camera was used to measure the CPU and board temperatures while running Debian Squeeze in dual-core under full load conditions. A maximum CPU/Heatsink/Fan assembly temperature of 31.1C was recorded while playing a DVD on a software rendered 1920x1200 full screen display. With the CPU fan disconnected the temperature rose to meagre 34.6C with a CPU core temperature of 61C.
AmigaOne X1000 Update Article
We are also pleased to announce that the next issue of "Amiga Future" magazine will contain a Nemo 2 update article. Issue 91 (July/August) should be released in early July and can be ordered from the "Amiga Future" website or your local Amiga reseller.

Emulator: WinUAE 2.3.2
Version 2.3.2 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE was published. For the first time the update uses the AROS/68k-version as Kickstart replacement if an original file ist not available.
New features:
- AROS ROM replacement development snapshot included, replaces old
very basic ROM replacement feature, used by default if official
KS ROM is not found
- New autofire option. Button released = autofire. Button pressed = normal non-autofire firebutton
- Stop the CPU and wait until blitter has finished if any blitter register is accessed while blitter is busy and CPU mode is fastest possible
- Better workaround than immediate blitter for programs that have blitter wait bugs with fast CPU
- Serial port telnet server
Updates:
- Disk emulation accuracy improved (Codertrash / Mexx, El Egg Tronic Quarts / Quadlite)
- CIA timer undocumented startup delays emulated (Risky Woods sound glitches)
- win32.floppy_path and win32.hardfile_path really works as expected
- Display panel refresh rate accepts non-integer values
Fixed bugs:
- Implemented workaround that should fix Direct3D blank screen problem
- Sample ripper crash
- 68000 exception 3 emulation fixed again. (Broke compatibility with some
very old copy protections, for example Soldier of Light and Zoom!)
- Reset bug that broke Arcadia mode, A1000 mode and Action Replay ROMs
- Automatic resolution switch interlace detection was unreliable
- CD32 early boot menu is accessible again
- Rare crash when switching from fullscreen RTG mode to native mode
- Borderblank chipset feature didn't work in ECS Denise mode
- Possible input configuration corruption due to uninitialized variable
- Color change table overflow crash that can happen when emulated program crashes really badly
