PCI busboard: VHDL firmware for Prometheus released under free licence
Some years ago Michael Böhmer (e3b) did re-implement the firmware of the PCI busboard "Prometheus" in VHDL. Now he has released the source codes of this implementation under a free licence. The documents for the original design already were released in 2012, but were based on an outdated standard of Altera for describing the logic of the PLDs used on the Prometheus.

Emulator: WinUAE 4.1.0
Version 4.1.0 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released which again provides several new features:
PC Bridgeboard (A1060 Sidecar, A2088, A2088T, A2286 and A2386SX) emulation rewrite
- Emulation core replaced with PCem. Compatibility has improved greatly, for example Windows 3.x enhanced mode, DOS extenders and Windows 95 are now fully working.
- Bridgeboard built-in CGA emulation graphics corruption fixed.
- A2386SX VLSI chipset memory remapping, shadowing and EMS fully supported.
- Cirrus Logic emulation PC compatibility improved, 2M VRAM, linear frame buffer and blitter support.
- PC Speaker emulation (PCem)
- Sound Blaster emulation (PCem, various models)
- Serial mouse emulation (PCem)
- SCSI adapter emulation (Rancho Technology RT1000B)
Other updates
- AGA hires/superhires horizontal pixel positioning and borderblank horizontal single hires pixel offset fully emulated. Optional because it requires much more CPU power and it is rarely needed. DIWHIGH H0/H1 AGA-only bits emulated.
- AGA FMODE>0 undocumented features implemented (BPLxDAT, SPRxDAT CPU/copper accesses, bitplane modulos that are not integer divisible by fetch size)
- Added new misc option which captures mouse immediately when windowed/full-window winuae window is activated.
- 68030 MMU emulation compatibility improved.
- Paula disk emulation GCR MSBSYNC support added (Alternate Reality protection track).
- Added quick search and quick directory select to Configurations panel. Link and autoload moved to Advanced information panel.
- Added history list to config file name edit box and to statefile path string box.
- Added vertical offset option to D3D scanlines.
- 64-bit version didn't support 64-bit unrar.dll.
- 68030/040/060 with data cache emulation but without enabled MMU emulation: force Chip RAM as non-data cacheable.
- Magic mouse Windows cursor to Amiga mouse sync partially fixed.
- Window corners now work as drag'n'drop hot spots for different floppy drives. (top/left=0, top/right=1, bottom/left=2, bottom/right=3).
Bug fixes
- 68020 + memory cycle exact hung the emulator in some situations.
- Reading CIA interrupt status register in a very tight loop generated spurious interrupt(s) in certain situations.
- Softfloat mode with unimplemented FPU emu ticked didn't disable 68040/060 unmasked interrupts, confusing 68040/68060.library and possibly causing it to return incorrect values.
- Some CHD CD images didn't mount correctly.
- uaehf.device HD_SCSICMD didn't set scsi_SenseActual. Also set io_Actual=30 (=sizeof(struct SCSICmd))
- If config file had KS ROM path/file that didn't exist, it was replaced with non-existing ../system/rom/kick.rom path or was not correctly fixed with valid path.
- NCR53F94 SCSI chip emulation DMA counter fix (affected for example Blizzard SCSI Kit)
- Very large directory harddrives returned halved used/free space.
- Fixed multiple problems with screenshots and video recording from hardware emulated RTG board.
- Filter panel scanlines work now correctly in multimonitor mode.
- Crash fixed if more than one non-Paula audio stream was active. Included emulated sound cards, also CD audio if "include" option ticked.
- NE2000 PCMCIA and NE2000 bridgeboard didn't support custom MAC and network mode selection.
- Fixed hardware emulated graphics board hang with Picasso96 if board supported vblank interrupts and RTG board refresh rate mode was not Chipset.
- Fixed statefile crash when saving statefile while disk operation was active and disk image included bit cell timing information.
Bug fixes (Introduced in 4.0.0/4.0.1):
- Display port adapters that needed genlock transparency data (FireCracker, HAM-E, OpalVision, ColorBurst) didn't work correctly since 4.0.0.
- Display port adapters didn't work in multimonitor mode.
- Blitter statesave with blitter active: log window opened and listed few lines of blitter debug information.
- Some programs caused continuous flood of "blitter is active, forcing immediate finish" log messages.
- CTRL+F11 quit ignored new "Warn when attempting to close window" option.
- 68020/030 more compatible/cycle-exact mode statefiles didn't always restore properly.
New emulated hardware:
- CSA Twelwe Gauge (A1200 68030 accelerator + SCSI controller)
- AccessX/Acetec IDE controller.

Cross-Development: Atom package for Amiga Syntax Highlighting
The package "language-amigaos-c" for the text editor Atom provides syntax highlighting for the AmigaOS-API.
The update which was released adds a new menu item "New project" with a ready to compile makefile and Hello World code as well as "a requester where you can create a generic new subclass code for any superclass of your choice". Additional to "a shortcut to package settings", "auto-complete now also suggests specific values and identifiers for each API function, when your cursor is on the argument that requires one (including functions that get varrag tag items)."

Patch and commodity collection: MCP 1.49c
MCP 1.49c already has been available for two years but only as part of Amikit. The update fixes a bug if MCP is used with an emulator with "Virtual Mouse Driver" enabled: This function now is compatible with the MCP patch "Solid Window Moving & Sizing". The MCP patch CycleToMenu does not work with Virtual Mouse Driver enabled: According to the MCP author this problem must be fixed in the emulator.
MCP 1.49c only is distributed as update for existing MCP installations. If you still have not MCP installed first you have to download and install the archive MCP 1.48.

In last two years smbfs was comprehensively revised and rewritten for the SMBv1/CIFS protocol based on the historical and official documents.
The new smbfs 2.1 improves the robustness and compatibilty of the file system which e.g. can access NAS systems and corresponding computers. The support of Unicode, big files (> 4 GB) and resuming of interrupted connections to the data server were added. A lot of bug fixes were done as well.

Individual Computers: Advance orders for ACA500plus and Indivision ECS V2
Press release: For the second production run of the ACA500plus, we've done a few small upgrades to adapt the card to the needs of our customers that were communicated in support cases and other customer feedback. Some customers were not satisfied with the speed of the card, which is why we have changed to the new CPU type 68SEC000. For this processor we can't just guarantee 14.1MHz, but stable operation up to 21MHz. It is of course still possible to set the CPU frequency to up to 42MHz, but since this is very demanding for the power supply regulation and cooling, this is not covered by standard customer support.

Lawsuit: Itec responds to Hyperion
In the lawsuit with Cloanto, in March Hyperion did not just sue Cloanto but also all other "Amiga parties", that means all companies which since the year 2000 own or owned rights on Amiga and which all are contract partners of Hyperion: Amino (formerly Amiga Inc., Washington), Itec LLC and Amiga Inc. (formerly KMOS, Delaware).
This caused the resurrection of Amiga Inc., followed now by an identical response of Itec LLC - which can be found at the title link, again thanks to the author of the "Amiga Documents".

Diagnostic tool: DiagROM 1.1
DiagROM is a diagnostic tool which the user has to burn in an EPROM and the replaces the Kickstart-ROM of an Amiga. Third parties also sell ROMs. The software does not require any timer, IRQs etc. and therefore should be able to run on only partly working computers and do some hardware tests. The results are given to the serial interface or to the screen as different colour codes.
Version 1.1 introduces a "new memory-detection routine that hopefully finds more memory" as well as a "A600/1200/4000 IDE detection". Additionally there are some powerup extras.
