Amiga Society: Schlachtfeld - 32x32 patterns in raw format
The 32x32 patterns for the action strategy game 'Schlachtfeld' (graphics phase I) are in a raw format online now. The patterns do not fit exacty together. This is mostly because of the rendering which shifted the patterns a little bit. This requires a massively post production work for some patterns. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper: Another SID-driver for the Catweasel
The second Amiga-based SID-driver is a playsid.library that accesses the SID of the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper directly. At the moment this only works on Catweasel controllers that are plugged in a Zorro slot of an Amiga, support for Clockport-connected controllers will be added shortly. Playsid plays back a lot of tunes that are known from C64-games and demos. The probably most famous collection of SID music is the High Voltage Sid collection that contains more than 20000 songs. more ... (ps)

Set-top boxes and more: New statement by Genesi
In a new statement (title link) Raquel Velasco und Bill Buck of Genesi have a.o. announced a contract for Pegasos and MorphOS based set-top boxes, which provides for the cash flow necessary for the other projects.

Shows are expensive. 100,000 Dollars have been invested in a short period of time just for the CES in Las Vegas and the ARC in Aachen and the respective attention grabbing (not to forget the cost for the other public presentations and events).

Furthermore it contains another hint at having applied legal measures to get AmigaOS on the Pegasos.

According to the announcement, the Pegasos is shipped with MorphOS, DebianPPC, Mac-on-Linux and a bundle of games and applications. Ports of OpenBSD and Gentoo are said to be in the works and available before the CeBIT. Furthermore there are talks about ports of BeOS, OpenBeOS, NetBSD, Zeta and NewOS. SuSE and Mandrake are already running on the Pegasos. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Golem: Data Rights Group against the Collection of Flat-rate IP Numbers
Regulations designed to protect personal rights have been twisted to do the opposite.

After the government of Darmstadt, according to multiple press reports, directed Internet provider T-Online to archive which customers used which IP numbers at which times (because of many customer complaints), the Independent Center for Data Rights (ULD) commented on the decision. The Darmstadt oversight officials pointed out that the ruling was limited, and that the rights situation to the officials of other German states would be unchanged.

CHIP online: Hacker-Group: Spy Tool for File Exchange Software?
Roland 'Cyco Myco' Weigert writes:
I just read two very interesting columns at CHIP Online. The first is from January 14th and covers the topic: "Hacker Group: Spy Tool for File Exchange Software." According to this there is apparently a hacker group in the service of the RIAA which uses a covertly installed worm in Windows and Linux media players to see what media files the user has, then sends the information back over the Internet to the music industry (RIAA).

In the second article, from yesterday, comes this: (Music Industry: No Spying in File-sharing Software), denies the RIAA, who have something to do with all this. (ps) (Translation: dm)

amiga-news.de: Small Changes in Design
In order to make our menus a bit more readable we have removed the headings for 'Sub pages' and 'Special Pages.' These links may now be found in the upper menu under the link ´Sub Pages´ (bottom row, all the way on the right.

The links to our Partner Pages, which were formerly in the upper menu on the third row, are now in the right menu under ´Amiga Network.´

This was reached by a clear division between internal (upper menu) and external (right menu), and the right menu has become considerably shorter and thereby more readable. (ps) (Translation: dm)
