Outrun New Year Music Demo for the Atari ST by Peter Jørgensen
The music has been converted by Peter Jørgensen aka. fedepede04 aka bionic nerd, using a special version of Project Ymer, that can exported its tracker scores to YMT files.
It’s a Pure YM2149 Sound, no Samples, no Sid, Synth Wave, or Phaser sounds.

SNDH archive v4.6 released - 345 new/updated SNDH files (437 subtunes) – (total 9893 tunes)
Ever since the birth of the Atari ST, different chip music formats have had different ways to use them. If you are coding a chip music player for the Atari ST you would have to use dozens and dozens of special ways to replay music.
But in the mid 90′s, BDC of Aura crew became tired of this inelegant system and decided to fix the issue once and for all. He then created the ‘SNDH’ file format. SNDH is actually the original songfile and replaycode with a header bolted on top of the music and replayer. The header has a unified calling interface no matter what type of chip music is hidden beneath it, and it has extended datas about the music.

SpartaDOS X (or SpartaDOS 4.0) is a disk operating system for the Atari 8-bit family of computers, that closely resembles MS-DOS. It was developed and sold by ICD, Inc. in 1987-93.
Ten years later SpartaDOS X considered abandonware has been picked up by its enthusiasts, and developed further. These unofficial revisions, incorporating many of the utilities written since 1992, cleaning many identified problems and including numerous improvements.
Highlights:
- Improved compatibility of 1 MB RAMBO and 576k Compy Shop RAM extensions with the internal BASIC on XL/XE.
- CAR.COM: added support for the Weronika cartridge: to run the dedicated programs, use CAR /F filename.ext;
- INIDOS.SYS should now work for SIDE2.
- Fixed a major bug in the S_VBXE driver, which caused occasional hang ups after the Reset key was pressed.
- CON.SYS: 80-column mode can now survive a warm reset.
- CHKFAT.COM: new command line tool to verify FAT file systems compatibility with our FATFS driver
- New program: MD5 hash tool
- SC now version 1.0.0
Please read the release notes (the whatsnew.txt file) for full information.
The new SpartaDOS X 4.48 runs on the following hardware platforms:
- intSDX128 and intSDX128 “flash”
- IDE Plus 2.0 interface (*)
- Maxflash 1Mb
- Maxflash 8Mb (*)
- Maxflash MyIDE+Flash
- MyIDE II RAM
- MyIDE II ROM
- SIC! Cartridge 256k (*)
- SIC! Cartridge 128k
- SIDE HDD cartridge (*)
- SIDE2 HDD cartridge (*)
- SuperCart cartridge (*)
- Ultimate1MB (*) (**)
- Turbo Freezer 2005 (*) (***)
- Altirra and Atari800 emulators
(*) – includes MAN on-line help
(**) – also use with Incognito board and Turbo Freezer 2011
(***) – use with Freezer ROM only

Below the post of the author on Atariage Forum.
A new firmware and flashtool is availible for Sys-Check V2 series.
The new flashtool now supports both Sys-Check PCBs equipped with a SST39SF010A flash chip (V2.1 and V2.2). When you start the flashtool, it will ask you which version you have. To be absolutely sure, the flashtool shows a simplified graphic view of both versions. I think, everybody can handle it :)
Of course the flashtool (and all other documents) are written in german and english.
Also there´s a new firmware V1.4 out. This firmware can be used with ALL Sys-Check versions – also with the old V2.0 (without flash). Owners of the V2.0 must burn the 16 KB firmware image into a 27128 EPROM. All other please use the flashtool to update their Sys-Check.
V1.4 has this minor changes:
- Sys-Check can be used with the U1MB expansion.
- The new version first checks the whole memory (to be more exact… the first 48 KByte) and then displays the defective bits (if there are any…)
- When bad memory within the first 48 KB is found, the upper 16 KB will not be tested.
- If memory is fine, OS-ROM will be tested as before.
- If both tests are fine, then pressing START after this will set Sys-Check into endless loop test mode. Memory and OS-ROM are tested infinite – until any error occurs.
- During memory tests the background will be coloured red if defective bits were detected.

Jean-François DEL NERO (who’s behind the HxC SD Floppy Emulator) recently has released a version of the HxC emulator firmware that is compatible with the STM32 chip used in the Gotek floppy emulators.
This means that the great functionality of the HxC SD emulator is now available on cheaper and more widely available hardware.
The bootloader to convert the Gotek floppy drive in HxC compatible must be purchased on the website HXC 2001 by sending an email to Jean-François DEL NERO. The price of the bootloader is one-off 10 Euro per Gotek that you want to update. Future updates of the software are free and can be made from a USB stick
The HXC Usb (Gotek) firmware supports: 
Release notes Firmware USB HxCFloppyEmulator v3.0.8.2a
- HD floppy disk format issue corrected : write buffer size corrected.

The HxC Floppy Drive Emulator is a software and hardware system created by jfdn aka Jeff.
The aim of this project is to replace the floppy disk drive by an electronic device emulating the floppy disk drive (list of supported Computer/Hardware).
There are two differents emulators:
- A USB version which allows to connect the floppy disk drive interface of the computer to a PC via a USB cable.
- A SDCARD version which allows to emulate floppy disks which images are stored in a SDCARD.
