Simple Sam Frying Pan

Michal Schulz has been busy with the AROS port to SAM440. He has updated his blog with two new entries. In the first he describes the steps he will take to make the port a reality. He has even opened a new project on SourceForge.net for the first portion, the U-Boot Second Level BootLoader. In the second post he shows us a nice screen shot of the boot menu. He also explains the config file for PPC AROS. It is nice that Michal has started blogging about this and showing us the steps he will be taking to do this kind of a port. I think a lot of people are interested in how something like this is done. So keep up the good work Michal!

Michael Grunditz has officially released the first SimpleMail beta for AROS. You can download it and read more details about the beta at the AROS Archives. If you want to know more about SimpleMail, visit their website. Great stuff!

Tomek 'error' Wiszkowski has been working on Frying Pan. Frying Pan is a CD/DVD burner application. Error posted screen shots on AROS-Exec.org. He mentioned to me on IRC that it did write CDs now and was working. But it was not ready for the public yet. He also said there is still no ATAPI support. This is another useful application for AROS. Tomek's work is appreciated. If you want to read more about Frying Pan, head to their web site.
