Paul J. Beel has carried out an interview with AROS developer Michal Schulz within the scope of his blog "The AROS Show." Herein, among other things, in addition to his personal career as programmer, he also describes what AROS lacks most desperately at present, in his opinion: that is particularly a better documentation for developers, reportedly, in addition to more drivers as well as a complete compiler toolchain.
Michael Schulz has contributed, among other things, the native bootability on x86 systems, the first versions of the trackdisk.device and the ide.device, a new ata.device, as well as a range of drivers, to AROS. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Beta testers for Prometheus PCI-Board wanted
For the new firmware of the Prometheus pci board (which allows full pci dma at all four pci slots of the Prometheus and 100MBit / for the first time with it) E3B is urgently looking for beta testers.
Interested people should possibly live in Germany (headword: postage costs), own a functional amiga system and a Prometheus (firmware revision doesn't matter), run dma cards (like 100MBit RTL8139, usb NEC) in their system and should have a tolerable knowledge of it.
Anybody who wants to assist bringing the Prometheus board one important step further, can contact Michael Böhmer atE-Mail. (ps) (Translation: ts)

"Our express shop does now also accept payments via PayPal.
With the addition of PayPal to the repertoire of possible methods of payment, we are realising a frequently expressed wish of our customers. Already previously our customers could choose between pre-payment via bank transfer and cash as well as a range of creditcards, namely Visa, Mastercard/Eurocard and American Express.
By supporting PayPal, new and interesting possibilities are created, especially for our international customers. Through PayPal, bank transfers and direct debits without high fees (or any at all) are now available in many countries.

Browser: Status update for Paihia development
Under the title link, a status update for the development status of Paihia was published, a browser planned for all Amiga systems.
Reportedly, the CSS engine is currently as good as done and is checked using the W3C test suite. The language parts of EcmaScript are also complete, whereas the object library is not, yet. The Document Object Model in Version Level 3, on the other hand, is implemented only to 20%.
Reportedly, all this and the source code of the Paihia Web-Engine requires less than 700 KB uncompressed, and is compiled by Visual Studio to a binary file that is only around 300 KB in size.
Grande Paihia should become a modern, small, fast and portable web browser, which fully supports XML, HTML 4, CSS 2.1, DOM Level 3 and EcmaScript 3. The browser, according to the author, is written from scratch and is based on no existing web software. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: RockBEAT 1.2.1
RockBEAT is a simple software drum machine for AmigaOS 4 by James Carroll. It is a tool for musicians that allows you to create drumming tracks.
It can create multiple tracks, each one being 4x 4/4 measures with 16th notes. You can save individual tracks as WAV files, or the whole thing as one big song. You can drop in your own 16 Bit 44100 Hz PCM WAV samples in the drumsamples folder if you like.
Version 1.2.1 fixes an important bug. The WAV files that were generated by RockBEAT had an incorrect header value.
The demo is restricted to 10 minutes. If you like it, you can purchase a keyfile from the author for 15 US-Dollar. (snx)

MorphOS: Virtual Grand Prix 2 (Update)
Paolo 'the Alien' Cattani and Alassoft ported Virtual Grand Prix 2 to MorphOS. The full MorphOS version is now available for download free of charge for personal use, as a thank you to the whole MorphOS community.
The MorphOS version has been made possible thanks to a free ODW development system from Genesi/Freescale. It requires MorphOS 1.4.5, the 3D Update and a supported gfx board.
Virtual Grand Prix 2 is a modern open-wheeled racecar simulator by Paolo Cattani and his staff at Alas Soft. It is the sequel of the original Virtual Grand Prix developed for the Amiga range of computers.
VGP2 uses industrial standards for the simulation of the mechanical components of the car, thus achieving a very high degree of realism in the handling of the virtual one-seater.
The MorphOS version of Virtual Grand Prix 2 is free for personal use and can be downloaded from the title link. However, if you think that the software deserves it, you can make a small donation for it. According to the authors, you can consider it as a kind of "sequel-ware" - i.e. if they collect some money, they might port any further development of the game or sequels to MorphOS as well.
Update: (19:00, 01.11.05, snx)
Andrea Maniero points out that the MorphOS version is compatible with additional tracks that have been created for the Mac and Win versions (you just need to edit the VGP2/config/circuiti.config file accordingly), and with the update pack that gives names, models and textures from the real 2004 F1 championship.
The additional packs can be found at the official VGP2 website. For further information, you can also check the old threads in the RaceSimCentral VGP2 forum. (snx)

Carsten Siegner has created a demo object for the 3D renderer Blender, which illustrates how bones (so-called fittings) are built into the gingerbread man from the Blender tutorial.
In addition to other diverse platforms, Blender is also available as a port for MorphOS.
Using the bones, you can animate the gingerbread man arbitrarily freely. In the existing demo object, only bones for arms and legs are available, however more - for the movement of the head, for instance - can be added.
The object does not possess textures yet, since it should primarily illustrate the integration of the bones.

Update: (10:22, 30.10.05, snx)
The related instructions in the original tutorial also exist in German. (snx) (Translation: cad)

File systems: updates of NTFS and Ext2 drivers
Marek Szyprowski released updates to his file system handlers for the New Technology Filesystem (NTFS) and the Second Extended Filesystem (Ext2) for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS.
Please read the disclaimers in the readme files - you use these beta versions on your own risk.
New in NTFS driver v0.4:
- updated to latest Ext2FS filesystem skeleton - this adds support for removable
media, handler inhibit and shutdown
- added unicode to local charset translation (read more below)
- minor bug fixes
New in Ext2 driver v0.20:
- added support for software write-protection (ACTION_WRITE_PROTECT packet)
- made cache buffers flush asynchronous - this makes all write operations a
lot faster
- fixed problem with incompatible volume names (like these containing characters
'/' and ':')
- the driver now is able to format disk and create all EXT2 filesystem structures
(ACTION_FORMAT packet)
- by default the filesystem is case insensitive, but you can change this by setting
the control field in the mountlist to "CASESENSITIVE"
Download:
ext2fs_0.20.lha (92 KB)
ntfs_0.5.lha (66 KB)
Update: (08:30, 31.10.05, snx)
Meanwhile the NTFS driver has been updated to version 0.5. The updates fixes a bug which caused crashes during startup on some systems. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Problems when using the alternative mpega.library clone
Lorence Lombardo is pointing out a problem of release 7 of the alternative mpega.library clone (mpega_libmad.lha).
The clone library is returning false-positive validity for files which are no MPEG audio files more often than the original one (mpega_library.lha). This is causing programs such as playOGG and mpega to fail. (snx)

AmigaOne: Driver for the AC97 onboard sound
Davy Wentzler acquaints, he build a working AC-97 driver for the onboard sound of he AmigaOne board with the help of Stephen Brookes.
Mainboards from recent production runs are not equiped with the Sigmatel chip, which resides left to the AGP slot, any more.
The first version of that driver is very basic and offers only replay and a CD in monitor, there is no volume setting or other functions yet, but should be added later on.
If you have an AC97 chip and are going to use the driver, the author would welcome a PayPal donation of 5 Euro.
