Sam440ep: Firmware Update U-Boot 1.3.1c
Press release: ACube Systems is pleased to announce the release of another update of the U-Boot-Firmware for its Sam440ep- and Sam440ep-flex motherboards. Changes in this version:
- Fixed wrong setting for the MMUCR register
- Introduced a new Video Option: Console. Setting it to "Silent" will produce a more nice looking boot screen (see picture below)
- On Sam440ep-flex: if a SiliconMotion 502 is present, and it's not set as primary video card, the SM502 I/O and MEM access are disabled in PCI_COMMAND register after initialization. This prevent some problems when booting AOS4.1 in a dual gfx card setup.
- On Sam440ep-mini: if a Radeon PCI card is present, and the onboard video card is not set as primary video card, the onboard video card I/O and MEM access are disabled in PCI_COMMAND register after initialization. This prevent some problems when booting AOS4.1 in a dual gfx card setup.
- Solved a problem when assigning IRQ to a video card behind a PCI to PCI Express bridge (RadeonHD)
- Video unit and Sprite unit are switched off on SM502
- Solved a problem with the Blitter unit registers not reset to default values at powerup on SM502
- Now it's possible to set baudrate to 230400 and 307200 bps (for faster debug output)
- Changed boot logo
- Reduced font size
The installation archives can be downloaded from the Sam440ep or Sam440ep-flex site.
PLease note that U-Boot and U-Boot Updater include GPL-licenced code and thus are published under GPL. The sources are available on the mentioned sites as well.

Full version: Arcade game Hydrozone 1.02
Today version 1.02 of David Cruickshank's "Hydrozone" was published (Youtube-Video). In 1994 the game was published as Shareware and is now available for free.
Changes in version 1.02:
- Changed licence from Shareware to Freeware
- Updated documents
- Added a continue from level 4 option if a player dies beyond that point
- Made changes to health. If a player crashes into a few walls one after the other, only the first hit takes the full energy from the player's health bar. Hits after that only take a little
- Changed some of the in-game text
- Hopefully fixed the speedup and slow down problem on accelerated Amiga's ie 030, 040's etc. Some parts of the game were running twice as fast as it should have. (un-tested sorry as I don't own one of these)
- Recompiled code with AmiBlitz3. (Originally programmed with BlitzBasicII1.7)

AROS: Progress of 68k-Port
From now on the maintainer of WinUAE, Toni Wilen, will support Jason McMullan porting the open-source operating system AROS to Motorola's 680x0-architecture.
The latest progress is based on the "Franken-ROM" which includes the AROS-Exec and other original components of Kickstart 3.0 with which for the first time a disk-block could be read and a boot screen animation displayed (title link).
According to Toni Wilen the following components were finished:
- disk.resource (trackdisk.device)
- cia.resource (CIA interrupts)
- potgo.resource (mouse 2nd/3rd button)
- trackdisk.device (currently read-only, based on PC driver, large big
rewrite required, no disk.resource use, was very PC controller specific)
- amiga mouse hidd
- amiga keyboard hidd
In the forum of AROS-Exec you can find further details to the development and the way hot it will go on.
