A600 accelerator board Fúria EC020: Pictures and Benchmarks (Update)
Two years ago, Boris 'Boboo' Krizma from Slovakia presented an Amiga 600 accelerator board that was based on the SEC000AA20 - a low cost variant of Motorola's MC68000. The sources and schematics for the design had been released back then aswell.

Now Krizma is working on a follow-up project called "Fúria ECF020" that has a 68EC020 CPU (over)clocked at 28 Mhz aswell as onboard FastRAM. The developer is regularly posting status updates to a czech forum. In January, fotos of the current prototype had been posted:



Now Krizma has published some screenshots that show various Benchmark tools running on a A600 equipped with a Fúria ECF020 (currently there are 4 MB FastRAM installed, but the final product will have more memory):



Update: (13.02.2013, 16:00, cg)

Added bigger versions of the pictures to the news item, thanks to Boris Krizma for providing them. The developer also explains that this product will be commercially distributed and lists some more detailed specifications:
  • MC68EC020FG25 @ 28MHz (overclocked), FPU MC68882 with same clock speed as CPU (may be switched ON/OFF)
  • 8 MB Auto-Config FastRAM, 1,5 MB SlowRAM, 1,5 MB for other purposes
  • Auto switch between 4MB / 8MB FastRAM (depending on the PCMCIA slot being in use or not)
  • CPLD Xilinx XC95144XL

Sale of Indivision AGA Mk 2 temporarily stopped
At the end of April Jens Schönfeld (Individual Computers) has started to deliver the second generation of the Flickerfixer "Indivision AGA" . But many users reported problems with the hardware - e.g. stripes or a completely black screen.

These compatibility problems could have been solved by a setup tool which was included in the previous version of the Indivison AGA Mk2. Such a tool currently does not exist for the Mk2 yet although highly requsted by many users. On the a1k-forum Jens Schönfeld explained that several, complex parameters had to be added to an user-interface.

Apparently Schönfeld temporarily stopped the sale of the Indivison Aga Mk2 four weeks ago. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Amiga Future (Webseite)


Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.84
X-bEnCH is a graphical user-interface with up to 128 colours for starting WHDLoad games (.slave, .exe). According to the developer the programm works on all Amigas (OCS to AGA) with 68000 up to 68060 prozessor and uses low virtual memory.

Changes in version 0.84:
  • Xinit 1.4:
    • Removed an useless file check (c:delete is no more used in xb)
    • Added an init sequence progress bar
    • The release number is no more displayed in the init sequence
    • If the init has failed, it's now reported in the xb init screen
    • The init errors reports are now more "verbose"
    • Added the support of the No init fade to black option
  • Xmenu 1.3: Key repeat delay upped
  • Xlaunch 1.5: Internal improvements to be ready for an Xb0.9x killing feature
  • Xsetup 1.3: You can now switch On/Off the init fader in the "Startup" pad
  • Xcli 0.4: Now fully fixed. Should work fine in all case
