Hey folks,
As I'm waiting for some stuff from eBay I couldn't just sit back and just do nothing :)
First of all, what I didn't like is the fact that the 26pin connector on the slim floppy drive doesn't have a MOTORLED signal as the Amiga drives but instead it has an onboard LED.
Since I wanted to have LED activity when the floppy was running, I just picked the LED signals at first just to have them for later usage.
Sadly it's not so easy to capture the wires I soldered in the LED header inside but here we go...
Hello my fellow Amigans...
While testing HDAudio support in TuneNet, I stumbled across how to playing subsongs on custom Amiga modules when playing in TuneNet.
It was with a lot of excitement that I keenly fired up my X1000 today to download the recently released HD Audio driver for the X1000.
So why the interest in the new X1000 audio driver? Well, the X1000 comes delivered with an internal Audio card on the motherboard supporting 7.1 channel audio, but until today it didn't work with the AmigaOS4.1 audio drivers. The reason for this is because the older AmigaOS4.1 drivers is for audio cards based on the old AC97 Audio card standard.
The HDAudio driver has recently been released to AmigaOne X1000 owners. This driver supports the built in “high definition audio” chip used in this computer.
You will have no doubt heard the phrase... Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me... or so the saying goes.
Hi everyone,
As if I didn’t have enough games to play and get addicted to, Gradius V arrived in the mail a few days ago. I admit to paying quite a bit to get hold of this fantastic game, but I think it was totally worth it. Already had a few tries to freshen up my memory and it was just as fun as it was in the past.
AmiWest planners have debated and discussed the theme for our show this
year. It should be something that we haven't done or emphasized much, if
that's possible in the 16th year of the show. And it should be something
with wider appeal to encourage attendance.
So our theme this year is AMIGA COMMUNITY 2013 - the AmiVerse. Now what,
you may be asking, is so novel about that?!? Isn't that what we always do?
Hey my fellow Amigans... most of you won't even bother reading this article as it contains info about Greek support on OS3.9 only.
For the Greek readers though... it can be informative though so here goes :)
First of all, OS3.9, comes by default with many Localization language packs (including Greek) from the official Haage-Partner's website which you can check out here:

In the last month I was trying to hang on my sanity while we were on house-hunting in Auckland (nuff' said). Wasn't easy and apparently it is not even close to be finished. :/
Anyway, I managed to do some work on the E-UAE JIT in the stolen moments.
In the update for this month you will find these little eggs:
Big thanks to Mike Blackburn for some fixes for the Macintosh support and for implementing the Linux PPC support! Well done, Mike.
After this (and this) update Mac OSX 10.4 is supported too: the instruction cache flush needed a different implementation.
Also Linux PPC users can benefit from the PowerPC JIT.
The more the merrier.
