[quote name=deadwood post=14639]@deadwood - Hi All, A serious performace regression was discovered 2026.09 in BoingIconBar. If you are using it in your distribution/installation, be sure to update it with attached binary.[/quote] BoingIconBar is still having issues; it interferes with windows, the GUI, and the Shell—see the short video. With the help of I.A. I've fixed this issue and made some improvements, and I'll be making some changes to the settings menu as well.

Over the weekend I spent some time with TeraTerm in Windows 10 & Python 3 script in Linux. I was testing the USBtoSerial connection with the DrawBridge Equipped Floppy Drive. Windows saw it as COM4. Linux saw it as ttyUSB0. ;-)

Hermes and Hardcode are going to be quite the mix of agents

So once you build it, you will be able to use AROS with it ;D

Nice I'll be trying it once I get my shop and systems rebuilt I'm currently working on building my own self-hosted LLM server Not sure which is worse: the price of used parts or waiting for parts to arrive

I just saw this post by Jeff Geerling on X and watched the video Has anyone heard of this board or looked into it Looks like an interesting possibility https://x.com/geerlingguy/status/2108649540626813199

Say hi to Hardcode, a native AI agent for AROS, inspired by Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. Its CLI runs inside Limpet, with a full-screen interface, Markdown rendering and streaming replies. It focuses on coding and project work: reading, searching and editing files, running AmigaDOS commands, and asking for approval when needed. It also supports skills, reusable instructions for specific tasks and workflows. The experimental build already supports parallel, read-only helper agents. I’ve demonstrated a lead delegating two tasks, receiving results and continuing after one helper was cancelled, using a real model served by LM Studio. My goal goes beyond coding. The planned Zune GUI will combine everyday AI chat with agents that can work with files, tools and tasks on your system. Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible backends are already implemented. Better provider selection, OpenRouter integration, model discovery, MCP connections to external tools and services, and installation through apkg are on the roadmap. Still in development, but already doing real work on AROS. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3t3wH5Z.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/WhtEsUe.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/xI3mXz0.png[/img]

Hi everyone! I've just released a new version of EdgeSnap, now also available for AROS aarch64. You can grab it here: https://arosarchives.os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/workbench/edgesnap.aarch64-aros.lha Any feedback, bug reports or suggestions are very welcome. Thanks for testing!

I created Mini Players for Wanderer and Dopus4/5 for AROS 64-bit v11 and AROS 32-bit: The GUIs are based on Zune and use some Shell players that I also compiled myself. GUI and some supported audio formats: - FFPlay-GUI = MP3, WMA, RA, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, AIFF, AC3, AMR - cSID-GUI = File SID - WilDmidi = File, MID, MRI, KAR - C:Splay-GUI = S3M, XM, MOD, MED - 8SVX-GUI= File 8SVX - DataPlayerMidi = MIDI, MRI, KAR (mid.datatypes) - PlaySound-GUI = 8SVX - MiniMP3-GUI = MP3 - ModPlay-GUI = MOD https://youtu.be/ech6PO2AjJg

Yes, the sources have been synchronized with the Andiweli repo :)

I know he has fixed few bugs lately...

It amazes me that Rob Smith figured this all out just a few years ago! He used an arduino controller to read the flux data from an Amiga disk. I'm just walking in his footsteps, trying to piece together how he did all that, one step at a time. :-) Some day AROS will be able to read and write Amiga Floppy Disks! What should we name the new serial disk reader? Maybe something easy, QuickDraw (Disk Reader And Writer).

Amazing work @miker1264

I managed to port the latest version of Mintprint but I'm in the same place - searching for printer.device

Here is the other sources but I don't know how to compile them. Mostly I'm having a problem with the mmakefile.src. It doesn't seem to be correct. There are only three main files in the library.

Anyone with more programming experience than me, please help. I need to compile ftdi library for aros x86-64. The archive libftdi-master.zip is the Linux sources. The archive libftdi-0.20_master.zip is the axfgroup libftdi sources. I've never compiled an aros library before.

After doing some research for this project I don't believe a Poseidon Class is needed. If we can simply compile the Linux sources for libftdi we already have libusb for AROS. Using libftdi which relies on libusb & Poseidon it is then possible to read the raw mfm data directly from each track using ftdi commands & the needed Arduino commands. Decode the mfm data into binary data then write to file. One step at a time. :-)
