amiga-news.de: There is a new board within our forum - Programming
Several times we were asked to establish a board for programmers within our
forum. Finally Stephen Nitz convinced us to do so.
It is a common board all around programming and not related to any special
language. Likewise beginners and advancers are both welcome to share,
improve or acquire their knowledge.

IRC-Client: BenderIRC version 1.5b9
BenderIRC went through several updates, for example the DCC routines got a GUI now.
Benders main GUI is infinitely resizable now, at least the start bug is also fixed
along with several other little improvements.
For version 1.6 there is still a PGP chat planned as well as some further improvements
of the GUI and, of course, more plugins..
Hint: Please take a view to the history before you start Bender, the config
has changed a little.

IOSPIRIT brings USB-scanners to the AMIGA
Finally it's going to become a reality! Thanks to the continuous development of fxSCAN 4.0 you will be able to use current USB scanners, interesting both in price and technology, with the release of the latest version!
The required drivers will be made available seperatly in the "IOUSB Scanner Package" (IOUSB SP) with the appearance of fxSCAN 4.0. By building upon the IOUSB technology, it will be possible to use the drivers with both the Poseidon stack (Highway®, Subway®, MorphOS) and the stack contained in AmigaOS® 4.0.

IOSPIRIT: Calibration targets for fxSCAN 4.0 and ICS
Scan like the props! You can now order professional calibration targets at a very low and attractive price that give you best scanning results when used together with ICS and fxSCAN 4.0.
And its easy to use, too! Just scan the target with your scanner and let ICS create a profile out of the result. From now on, you can automatically reach best and optimized results by selecting the ICS-filter in fxSCAN! The results are very close to the original template and mostly can't even be distinguished from it!
- Meets the IT 8.7/2 and ISO 12641 standard requirements.
- High color volume.
- Printed on high-quality Kodak(R) Professional paper.
- Meets the error tolerances required by the standard. Addmissible tolerance is 5 dE for reference files and 2 dE from CIE Lab for single measured targets. This target reaches an average of 0,3 dE in production!!
- additional reference files for scanners with light picture background. The standard only requires reference files for black background.
- also recommended for owners of older targets that may contain color errors after years!

AmigaOne: First photo's from Leeuwarden (Update)
We did not expected it anymore but Computer City did a great job to show
us the first AmigaONE 1.0a board in action at 15.00. There wasn't
enough time to install a hard drive with Linux, as the board was Friday
evening still in England, so at the moment you can only see the
Openfirmware screen.
Enjoy the pictures at the title link.
Update 26.05.2002:
Update: According to Ole-Egil Hvitmyren, this board is not the final
costumer version, but also not pre AmigaOne Board that Eyetech has shown
before. This board is one of the 5 boards that are shipped to Computer
City and 4 other people who accepted. The final boards will have 1 thing
different from this AmigaOne 1.0a board...

Hint: Restoring of unreadable disks
Author: Günther Klug Frh. v. Biedermann
Preliminary remark:
I had some problems with the hd-floppy-drive in my A4000. Write errors were reported when copying/deleting on/of hd-disks. The attempts to format this disk also failed with the following message:
"DF0 unreadable" or "no valid disk in drive DF0" and so on.
I asked on the #AC-forum for help and I was said to clean the drive. I did it and the drive worked again.
But I could not format the "damaged" hd-disks.
But I did not want to give up and I therefore tryed to format them with "OFS" (488 bytes/block)...
...and it worked!

BlitzBasic: Update for Blitz2D/3D to version 1.75
Blitz3D has now a seperate model format. You can find the appendant specifications and a suitable Milkshape3D exporter on the "SDK and Specs"-site. The file format is Public Domain so everybody can write a importer/exporter for his favourite modelling-software (who the knowledge has). If you need help you can contact Marc Silby.

StarGATE Newsletter 21/05/2002
Marco Miljak writes:
Dear Amiga users,
unfortunately I have bad news: The StarGATE website as well as the mail
distribution list will be closed down because of three basic reasons:
- I don't believe in an Amiga revival anymore.
- Developing Amiga software needs a lot of work and time. And due to
No. 1 I don't think it makes sense anymore.
- Because of my studies my sparetime is very rare and I don't want to
spend it on Amiga anymore.
However, I want to thank everyone who encouraged and supported me in the
past, in the first place Petra Struck from amiga-news.de!
The StarGATE site will remain online for about 4 or 5 months and will then
be shut down. The mail addresses in the distribution list will be deleted.
Sincerely,
Marco Miljak
