`03.Jun.2007` Michael Böhmer (ANF)	New installation aids for SUBWAY USB controller Two new installation aids are available as PDF files for the popular USB controller SUBWAY, which show connecting the SUBWAY to the Zorro cards Xsurf and Buddha from individual computers. You can find these documents on E3B's web pages under the title link in the Support/Mounting area. Thanks to the assistance of an active SUBWAY user, who has created both documents and released them for download, connecting the controller to the clockports of the aforementioned cards should prove to be considerably easier with these, since, unfortunately, no details on the orientation of of the clockports are to be found in the documentation of either Zorro card. In case of questions and obscurities when installing the SUBWAY, the producer E3B continues to ask for contacting E3B support. (nba) (Translation: cad) [News message: 03.

`03.Jun.2007` Christian Rosentreter (ANF)	MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.5.2 (final) OpenTTD is an open-source clone of the well-known PC strategy game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" from the 90's with many extensions - a network mode, individual graphic sets and adaptations to more than two dozen languages, among other things. In version 0.5.2 (final), some errors were corrected again, so "NewGRF's" (graphic and function extension sets) can now simply be copied to the "data/" directory and activated or deactivated using the NewGRF settings inside the program - changing the configuration file OpenTTD.cfg manually is no longer necessary.
