Data base: XBaze Version 7.3 Beta 18 available
The data base programm XBaze is available in version 7.3 Beta 18 (619 KB). You need at least AmigaOS 3.0 but the programm also works under MorphOS.

XBaze is Cardware and uses a dynamic memory management so the size of the data base is only limited by the available memory.

Some features of XBaze:
  • Easy to use GUI
  • Six freely configurable kinds of fields
  • URL-use via openurl.library
  • Use of the system-Clipboards
  • Layout-Editor with Drag&Drop
  • Flexible sort- and search-options
  • Configurable print-option
  • Saving and loading in ASCII-format (CSV and TSV)
  • ARexx-Port (over 80 commands)
  • Statistic-option

Update of the New Edition of the Turbo-Card Apollo 630
Matthias Bertram wrote to provide an update of the new edition of the Amiga 600 turbo-card Apollo 630 (68030@40 MHz, SIMM socket for up to 32 MB RAM, connection for 68882 FPU) through Individual Computers (amiga-news.de reported):

"There's news again on the Apollo front: I've already found 70 purchasers for the new Apollo!

About 25 other interested people have not yet decided. Should 100 units be ordered, the price will be 100 euros instead of the 130 euro price listed until now.

Jens Schönfeld has a couple ideas concerning the CPU and the attachment of the turbo-card. But he says he doesn't want to reveal more right now." (snx) (Translation: dm)

Version 1.5 of the FlashROM software Luciferin for Algor / ROMulus
Dear E3B customers, E3B and Chris Hodges are proud to announce the availability of a new version of the Luciferin FlashROM software for the Algor and Highway/ROMulus expansion cards. It is a free update provided as service to all registered Algor/ROMulus users.

Although the last update is nearly a one year old, nearly all of the reports were positive and only a few requests have been made. The software was indeed ahead of its time. However, developers of other FlashROM solutions have planned some new features, which were missing in the old version of Luciferin. As usually, Algor and ROMulus users are the first to get these features working in their machines, preserving that the Algor/ROMulus continues to be to the best FlashROM solution on the market.

An absolutely new feature is the ability to now install a (possibly custom) Kickstart ROM image inside the FlashROM. It then can be enabled instantly at the first boot with the newly included AlgorKick module. AlgorKick uses the MapROM option of the various phase5 CPU cards, most of the users have in their machines. The 512KB Kickstart image easily fits into the FlashROM using compression, taking less than 300KB inside the FlashROM. There is still plenty room for lots of other modules! No need for BlizKick anymore!

The following boards are supported by AlgorKick:
  • Blizzard 1230-I/II/III/IV, 1230-T/ERC, 1260, 2040-ERC, 2060, and PPC
  • Cyberstorm MKI/MKII/MKIII and PPC
  • (Commodore A3640 / Blizzard A4030 -- please ask)
Also, a new tool "HatchSentinel" has been included to generate a password protection to the machine. Once installed in the FlashROM, it will present a password screen instantly after turning the machine on. The Sentinel module comes with various options, such as starting itself in the background, so that the booting process is not delayed.

The Bootloader has been improved to correctly determine the Kickstart version number with the BoingBag2 exec.library update. This was only cosmetic, but was added on user demand. The loader now also comes in a new "permanent" version, that will add ROMTags only once, making it even faster than before.

Several other new ROMTags have been added to the archive, such as modules to disabled the IDE controller to avoid unnecessary waiting (if you don't have any IDE devices connected). Or removing the bootmenu for secure and even faster booting. Or SpeedRamsey, a contribution by Christian Sauer.

Luciferin, the user friendly graphical tool for handling the FlashROM contents has become even better and will now warn you, if you try to include a program that shouldn't be installed into the FlashROM.

This is the list of most improvements. The update will be emailed free of charge to registered users the next days. Users of the Highway should be reminded that they still have the offer to update their card with a ROMulus module, check out the IOSpirit website for details.

E3B and Chris Hodges hope that you will enjoy this update. (snx)
