Individual Computers: New Indivision models and memory expansion A603
Press release As announced in january of this year, delivery of our flickerfixer "Indivision AGA" for the Amiga 4000 (desktop version) and the CD32 has begun this week. In order to start sales worldwide at the same time, we have shipped a few units a little earlier to our partners in the USA. The first customers in the US and Germany have already recieved their pre-ordered board. Delivery to customers in Sweden and England starts today.
Indivision AGA brings the Amiga's graphics output to a modern monitor or flat screen. The user can choose almost any model on the market, because Indivision AGA doesn't only double the frame rate, but even displays a PAL screenmode at more than 60 Hz flicker-free. For every screenmode, the full colour depth of 24 bits is displayed.
Indivision AGA is available from our resellers for 129,- EUR (RRP incl. German VAT). We're especially happy to have a new partner in Switzerland. Relec Hardware and Software delivers both versions of Indivision AGA with a French manual.
Indivision ECS under development
The next version of our popular flickerfixer will be made for Amiga models with OCS- and ECS-chipset. Since the older chipsets only work with a colour depth of 12 bits (4096 colours), we're expecting a slightly lower price for this model. It is meant to work with the Amiga models A500, A600 (memory expansion A603 required), A1000, A2000 and A3000. All known technical data will presumably be in Indivision ECS: All screenmodes will be output with more than 60 Hz, and the S-Hires modes of the ECS chipset will be displayed in full resolution. Indivision ECS will be installed on the socket of the Denise chip of the target computer. We're expecting the first prototype in about three months.
New memory expansion A603 for A600
In 2006, we already introduced a memory expansion for the smallest of all Amigas, the A600. To our surprise, the demand for this expansion is still high, so we didn't just make a new production run, but made a further development. The new expansion offers 1 MB of additional chipmem, a real-time clock and a clockport for connection of A1200 expansions. In addition to that, the A603 offers a socket for installing Indivision ECS. The new memory expansion will be available from our resellers before the end of april 2009 for 39,90 EUR (RRP incl. German VAT). For operation of the real-time clock, a coin cell (type CR2032) is required, which is not included. Installing the expansion requires mechanical work on the metal shield of the computer.
Chameleon delayed
The new multi-functional cartridge for the C64 with flickerfixer, memory expansion, floppy-emulation, freezer- and turbo-functionality has experienced multiple changes during recent development that have delayed mass-production. In addition to that, several semiconductor vendors have disappointed us with extremely long delivery times, so we had to make more changes in order to keep quick mass-production possible. Development of Chameleon is our top priority at the moment and it does not depend on chip delivery times any more. If you want to test Chameleon before it's release, you can do that with the C-One. A Chameleon core is available for free download. (snx)

Technologizer/Computerworld: Retrospects honoured the Amiga
Two American computer websites honoured the Amiga. Technologizer.com wondered Whatever Happened to...? and remembered Lotus 1-2-3, CompuServe, Floppy- and Zip-Disks.
Computerworld introduced 10 operating systems the world left behind and hopes that the Amiga will be not completely forgotten. For an operating system which created "Max Headroom" is worth being seen again.

AmigaOS 4: Protrekkr 1.98d
Protrekkr (formerly sold as "NoiseTrekker") is a SDL-based music program which combines a software synthesiser with a traditional, sample-based tracker (screenshot). The AmigaOS 4-port was created by Fredrik Wikstrom.
The AmigaOS-version of Protrekkr uses the latest, dynamically linked version of the SDL-library which works under AmigaOS 4.1. A statically linked version, which also works under OS 4.0, the author provides on his website (protrekkr-static.lha, 488 KB).
It is recommended to use the program in "Fullscreen"-modus.

Catalog compiler: SimpleCat 3.16
Guido Mersmann wrote: SimpleCat is a program for creating and managing localization files (screenshot). It is not a new program but it exists since the publishing of AmigaOS 2.1 and the Locale-System - though for 16 years.
Version 1 was still completely written in assembler while version 2 was completely new written with a lot of improvements. With version 3 the complex internal concept was lifted to a new level and has got a MUI user-interface. Since version 3 SimpleCat is also part of the developing environment CubicIDE.
SimpleCat is useful for users who want to fix bugs in the catalogs or want to make a translation as well as for developers who want to edit all catalogs of a project. Convenient import and export functions are available which can be used with the Shell (e.g. makefile) or the GUI.
By deviding the developer form the translation modus the simple translator gets those possibilities which are necessary for his work. With a search function it is possible to find certain texts.
There is a big advantage for developers. All catalog files can be managed in one file. If an entry should be deleted then the developer does not have to edit every single catalog file but can delete the corresponding text from the catalogscript-file (.cs). This applies as well for adding or changing labels. There is also the localization wizard which almost automatically locates a source code and then creates fitting localization entries.
With version 3.16 the GUI-part of SimpleCat now left the beta status because all functions were completely implemented and tested. An AmigaOS 4-version does not work and because I cannot test it I decided to leave out this version. Perhaps anybody can make available a version of OS 4 for the Pegasos2. This could be of use for the others projects.

Relec-Website reworked
The Swiss trader Relec has reworked its website. The website currently is only available in French but an English and German translation will follow soon.
The new design is not compatible to IBrowse and AWeb. Therefore the old website can be also accessed under relec.ch/index_old.html. Some products are currently not available there but will be added gradually.

MorphOS: Origyn Web Browser 1.1
Fabien "Fab" Coeurjoly has published a new version of the Origyn Web Browser. Coeurjoly offers three different versions of the program: Additional to the standard version with all functions there is an OWB-nosvg (no support for the SVG-format) and OWB-lite (no SVG-support, only UTF-8 and European codepages) which reduce the need for memory by some megabytes.

AROS: Janus-UAE 0.2
With Janus-UAE Oliver 'o1i' Brunner has started developing a new branch of the Amiga emulator E-UAE for AROS/x86. The reason is the UAE-integration which is in the works. Especially Janus-UAE offers now Picasso96-support.
Changes since E-UAE 0.8.29-WIP4:
- Compiling for GTK under AROS enabled
- Slight changes to the used widgets
- Small bugfixes
- 24-bit mode can be saved for 68020
- GTK-optimized
- Changed library open/close, as GTK-MUI normally expects that a GTK program is a port from Unix and so does not open/close AROS Libraries
- ZLib support (packed disk files, not tested)
- Picasso96 working (merged from the AROS uae version)
- The name ;)
