Amiga x5000 Amiga OS4.1 FE update #1 Announcement
It appears that Hyperion has made enough progress on OS4.1 for X5000 to make an announcement. See this –> link <—.
This appears to be just enough to get the OS working on the X5000. There is no mention of extended features, as there was also an announcement that a full update for all OS4.1FE users will be available by the end of the year. Let’s hope that happens.
Project Starfighter on X1000
Today I took a look at a recently released game for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition on my AmigaOne X1000 called Project: Starfighter!
Bug fixed (hopefully)
Not much progress on WinUAE on AROS the last months.. why?
I never got the harddrive tab working reliable. Adding a new harddrive with the gui always resulted in a TLSF memory allocation error and I had no idea, why. The pool was damaged somewhere..
So I searched and debugged for .. many hours. Too many, so I always stopped hunting for the bug after maybe 5 hours and gave up. And restarted weeks later. And restarted.. and the last start was finally successful :-).
Upgrading the Apollo 1240 to 1260
Well next card in the series how to upgrade different 68040 cards to 68060, it is time for the Apollo 1240.

But he also pointed out that he does not like the Apollo. This is no news but this is what he told me:
Prisma Megamix and X-Surf 100 on A4000
My apologies for the delay in blog posts but work has been very busy lately and I have had very little free time. This week though I took delivery of the Prisma Megamix music card (A-EON) and X-Surf 100 (Individual Computers) and was very keen to try out both on my Amiga 4000!

all the fears and nightmares of mankind. It is furthermore said, that
Recapping, doing it right. Complete GUIDE How to do it.
Today on Facebook on the “Commodore Amiga” group I noticed a link to: https://console5.com/wiki/Converting_from_Surface_to_Leaded_Capacitors
And he who posted it asked about the opinions of using Holethrough caps.
And well again I was reminded of a horrible motherboard sent to me for a fix after a failed recap.
The Amiga Song – Eric Schwartz Returns To The Amiga With A Bang!
The Amiga community keeps on suprising us with all sorts of good news lately, and the latest one was today when i found out about a new Eric Schwartz music movie. It is a few days old now and most likely pretty known out there but i decided to hype it up a little anyways. The new animation is so good that i first thought that the song is an Original Amiga only song, as in written for this video.
