I'm happy to announce the first working usable application for Java on Amiga: a telnet-client.

Hello my friends.

Continuing my work for mounting internally my HxC and slim floppy drive, I had some minor stuff that needed to be fixed.
First of all, I needed to put some headers in HxC switches and on the slim floppy drive LED. Both of these wires were mounted directly from the adapter to the mobo and case, so if I needed to dismantled and remove the floppy it would have been messy.

I have no idea how did I manage to achieve this much in this update, but it is certainly a confident step forward. For this time the list is long and diversified:

Today I thought I would take a look at two programs for looking at the realtime network card performance on the X1000 - NetSpeedometer and NetDock.

IntuitionBase.com,  ".   .   .the  definitive information clearinghouse for
next-generation Amiga computing," is first to confirm their presence at
AmiWest 2013!

So what will they bring to AmiWest 2013?  Rep Eldee Stephens tells us:

The VIA Envy24HT audio driver has been updated and now supports the VT1618 Codec.

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.
