Mario Becroft has developed an easy to use interface which allows you to use any serial mouse on your Atari. All you have to do is to plug the interface into your mouseport and that’s it. If using a mouse with three buttons the third button can be used to activate a double click. For the official announcement click here.
The new Falcon accelerator Centurbo 2 by Centek is (after a long development period and a couple of delays) now available for some weeks. The first bunch of boards has already been sold out but the second series should be available by today. The board features it’s own 50 Mhz 68030 processor, 32 MB Fast RAM and the possibility to run the whole system with up to 50 Mhz (which allows True Color resolutions of 640*400 and higher). For some more technical information, prices etc. you may visit the Centek homepage. As long as the new site under www.centek.fr isn’t up yet you should take a look at the old location. If you want to know how the Centurbo 2 performs in different tests you may also download an archive with some benchmarks here. (no longer available)
