Accelerator board: ACA-620 available (Update)
The accelerator board ACA-620 produced by Individual Computers (amiga-news.de reported) now is available in different Amiga stores.

The board is equipped with a 16,67 MHz clocked MC68EC020-processor as well as 9+1 MB virtual memory. 9 MB can be generally used and 1MB is used for the MapROM-function. This means the Kickstart-ROM is executed from the 32-bit-memory which increases the speed.

Update: (20:30, 10.10.12, snx)
As Jens Schönfeld mentions at a1k.org, an additional part of the 16 MB RAM actually present on-board can be utilized using the ACAtune tool. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.73 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is an Amiga game launcher with 128 colors on screen (even on a simple A500). This frontend autoscans the harddisk to find WHDLoad games or .exe files and and organizes them into launching listings. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI feature.

Version 0.73 is a bugfix release:
  • Fixed the display speed problem on little cpu (68000/68010) in the menu
  • Fixed the display speed problems on high end cpu (68040/68060) in the menu and the launcher
  • Fixed a bad multitasking management when launching an .exe file

Changes include a Wifi scanning tool, the editor Annotate, an AmigaOS 3.1 theme, new wallpapers, an optimisation of the boing icon bar and a bugfix for downloading Youtube videos. This time there is no update option for existing systems available, though, instead a fresh installation of version 1.95 is recommended. (snx)

MorphOS: Sudominator 1.1 and U1Synth 1.2
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has updated two of his programs - the Sudoku solver Sudominator and the software synthesizer U1Synth. Both can be also installed by Grunch now.

Sudominator had some problem with new MUI 4 transparency effect for disabled gadgets. This effect has been unnecessarily applied to the sudoku field when live solver was running, so the whole thing was unreadable. U1Synth has got an octave switch, a first small step towards changing it from a toy to a simple, yet usable synthesizer. (snx)
