TroikaNG: Update of the homepage with frequent asked questions
At the homepage of TroikaNG the first questions and answers were entered. Therefore AGP is cancelled because except for the Articia northbridge only the IBM chip CPC 925 offers this function, but it doesn't work with the cpu chosen for the Amy'05 board.
Regarding to the final consumer price 400 British pounds would have been a very careful estimation, but in theory it could also come to 400 US dollarss (ca. 330 EUR at present). (snx) (Translation: ts)

MorphOS: AIFF/AIFF-C, RIFF WAVE and Sun/NeXT audio player for AmiNetRadio
Three new player plugins for AmiNetRadio 3.x have been released by Christian 'tokai' Rosentreter.
wave.player 3.10
The player reads RIFF WAVE (Resource Interchange File Format Audio Waveform) files and supports mono and stereo samples which are stored in 8bit - 32bit linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) or with A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit or Float 64bit compression.
aiff.player 3.3
This player adds support for Apple's Audio Interchange File Format. It reads mono and stereo AIFF/AIFF-C files, and as wave.player it supports samples stored with 8bit - 32bit PCM or compressed samples with A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit or Float 64bit data.
au.player 3.2
The last one of the trio is for Sun/NeXT Audio files. It supports interleaved mono and stereo data which is stored in Big- or Little-Endian byte order. Like both other players it understands 8bit, 16bit, 24bit and 32bit linear PCM and A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit and Float 64bit compressed samples.
All three players come with documenation and are freeware. You can get them at the title link. (snx)

MorphOS: Alphaversion 0.4 of ezTCP has been published
The PPC-native TCP/IP-Stack ezTCP by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin is now
available in its alpha version 0.4. ezTCP is a
MorphZone-Bountyproject with a current donation status of 1095,73 US-$.
What's new in this version:
1. Memory trashing bug at last fixed. Try the DNS resolver, now it should work reliably with or without DOMAIN records in the resolv.conf.
2. Version of bsdsocket.library updated to 4. Now many applications will run.
3. CLI environment tools (Ping, ifconfig, route) now report if they can't open bsdsocket.library instead of quitting silently.
Remaining known problems:
1. usergroup.library is still not built, but it's on the way. So - no compatibility with ixemul.library yet. But you can try to override this by copying usergroup.library from AmiTCP (Genesis) distribution to LIBS:.
2. ezTCP kernel can't be used as a Genesis kernel replacement yet. There is some problem with the configuration, the kernel just hangs when loading configuration files (the same problem as Slawek Kaminski reported with previous versions). So I don't advice to change the location of configuration files for now. But you still play with this on your own, nice if you succeed. I just have no time to investigate this yet, I'm already a little not in my timeline and need to speed up.
3. ezTCP doesn't for check for presence of another bsdsocket.library in memory before startup. So be careful before starting it, ensure that no other stack is running.
(2) and (3) are being worked on in the background, (1) is currently a top priority (snx) (Translation: nba)

Troika and Guru Meditation disclose cooperation (Update)
On the occasion of the British event Big Bash 3, the Swedish dealer Guru Meditation and the young hardware smiths Troika disclosed their cooperation in the development of the mini-ITX PowerPC board "Amy'05". The aimed production costs per board lie under 400 British pounds (around 590 Euros).
Meanwhile, Troika presents itself on the web with a new homepage, which, apart from remarks about the previous history of the project "Prometheus," which is now designated as "Amy," also specifies more components of this board than those known so far. However, the prototype that was announced for the event in Peterborough is no longer completed on time.
The specifications of the planned PowerPC board:
- Processor: PPC 750Fx processor with Active (fan) cooling. Soldered directly to motherboard.
- Northbridge: Tundra Semiconductor TSI107 Northbridge device. This provides access to SDR RAM memory and the PCI bus amongst other things.
- Ethernet: RTL8110 Gb/100/10 Ethernet controller.
- USB 2.0: 5 x High Speed USB 2.0 ports: 3 rear connectors, 2 front connectors.
- ATA 100/133: Sil0680 ATA133 controller. Supports 2 channels (4 devices). Full ATA 100/133 transfer rates, DMA bus mastering and RAID (Raid is dependent on OS drivers).
- Audio: CMI8738 6-channel 5.1 surround sound with audio headers. Support for Line In, microphone (Analogue) and SPDIF (digital input).
- PCI slot: 2 x 33 Mhz, 32bit.
- SDRAM: 2 x DIMM memory slots (REG PC133 SDRAM. Max of 1GB)
Update: (08:05, 25.09.05, snx)
According to a message from the developer, differently from stated, the upper limit of 400 British pounds should not be about the production costs, but about the end user price. (snx) (Translation: cad)

GoldED Studio blow-out sale
In about two weeks, the next version of GoldED will be released (Screenshot).
Due to the fact that the name of the software has changed from GoldED Studio to Cubic IDE ("An integrated development environment that includes GoldED8") - some packaging material is now obsolete. If anybody is interested: the remaining GoldED Studio AIX items can be purchased at a steep discount, 25 EUR rather than 69,90 EUR. The catch is that, at this price, items are not upgradeable.
If interested, use the author's contact form to reserve an item. Numbers are limited. (snx)

AmigaOS 4: PerfectPaint adaptation in the works
Marco "Blackbird" Möring discloses in a comment on amiga-news.de that he is working on an adaptation of the graphics program PerfectPaint to AmigaOS 4.
Georges Halvadjian, the original author of the freeware application written in Blitz Basic, had disclosed the temporary discontinuation of the development some time ago.
Apparently, the sources reside in the ownership of Möring for some weeks now, who wants to eliminate diverse problems in the usage of the program under AmigaOS 4.

Amiga Clone: Development of PowerOS picked up again
PowerOS, a project introduced by Claus Herrmann to the public in 2001, should originally have been a PowerPC-native reproduction of AmigaOS (Screenshot), which was to run on Amiga computers with PowerPC processors (BlizzardPPC, CyberstormPPC as well as the AmiJoe which never materialized).
However, already at the start of 2002, the original, commercial orientation was discarded for lack of time, and the sources of the project were released.
On the recently revised homepage, from which all old information was removed, details that the development has been picked up again can be found in the new FAQ now: Reportedly, PowerOS is running only under VMWare at present, since this presents the most comfortable development environment. However, versions that run without a host operating system on a standard PC are also planned later on. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Interactive 3d-model of an Amiga 1200
Under the titlelink you can find an item to an Amiga 1200 at old-computers.com - a website which introduces 925 computer veterans so far.
A 3d-model of the A1200 from Marco Chrappan was added recently, which you can access under the link at the right menu. Unfortunately you need a browser plugin for that, which seems to require the Internet Explorer.
But if you have handled this problem, then you cannot only turn and increase the computer, but you can remove the trap door also. Unfortunately the pcb wasn't modelled in detail. (snx) (Translation: ts)

Prerelease: new arcade game "BatDefense" under work
Markus Pohlmann works on "BatDefense", a game where you must defend a city against bats (Screenshot). The author writes the following:
"From now you can find an lha-archive of a prerelease of the game "BatDefense", version 0.4, at the website www.pohlsoft.de. The archive's size is about 3 MB. The game is based on an old arcade game's idea, where you have to defend a city with a plane against the attack of huge bats.
You must have a graphics card with a screen mode of 640x480 in 16 bit and ca. 10 MB of free memory. The game was developed and tested with a graphics card under Picasso and on a 68060; CGFX should work also.
I am eager to know which computer and configuration can run the game and if its speed is acceptable, because I can test it only on an evaluation pc.
The graphic routines as well as the sound routines of this program will be implemented into the "Project Crashsite" (yes, the project is still alive). BatDefense is some sort of a "test driver" for these routines. Therefore the bug reports are heavenly important for me!
Have fun with the game and don't forget your feedback (with configuration), please!" (snx) (Translation: ts)
