Here the headlines:

  • X-Surf revised
    Since two weeks, a revised version of the X-Surf ethernet board is shipping.

    Because of the Euro currency being continously weak against the US Dollar, the size of the flash memory on the Buddha Flash controller had to be reduced to 32K.
  • ISDN-Surfer gamma-test starting in week 46
    During the week from November 13th to 17th, the gamma-test of the ISDN-Surfer will start. For this test, we're looking for Amiga users with very special setups and ISDN phone lines that are NOT provided by Germany's Deutsche Telekom.
  • Repulse sound board will be produced by individual Computers
    After long negotiations, the contract with Aliendesign, the team that has developed the Repulse, has been finished. If we can collect enough pre-orders this month, production may even start this year.

Programmer Wanted
Wanted:
A programmer, who wants to take over the further development of the source code (C++, 98% OOP) of SOMS. It is just about game-programming like story/inventory/bobs, some effects, and resolving bugs. Everything else is ready and easy to use. You will need an Amiga with min 20MB RAM and a fast cpu (68030+) for compilation and an installed GNU-C version 2.91.66 (GCC/EGCS) or higher and GeekGadgets. more ...

cnet.device 1.5
Harry Sintonen has released version 1.5 of the PCMCIA ethernet driver "cnet" on 02 November 2000. This is a SANA2-driver for the PCMCIA slot of the A600 and A1200 supporting most of the NE2000-compatible cards. A list of the cards and the assembler source code of the driver are included in the archive. Compared to the previous version the following has been changed:
  • Changed: The list of the compatible cards has been updated.
  • Changed: The device assumes that a network card is there even when the CISTPL_FUNC_ID-Tuplewasn't found. With this the driver should work with some additional cards (Microcomputer Research Inc's Mr Ethernet).
  • Bugfix: A problem with the pre-v39 FreePooled()-function was fixed.

The driver runs on OS 2.04 and higher. more ...

Amiga Arena in association with Alfred Knoetig (Alfs Corner) is proposing a new special price action. Apano Sin - The Classic Shooter can be ordered exclusively at a price of 45DM at Amiga Arena.

Apano Sin is a classic bootleg shooter tha was originally developed in 1993 for ECS computers.

Apano Sin can be run on all of the Amiga models and is only available on disk. An installer is in preparation and thus soon available! A preview of Apano Sin is also available.

Turbo Racer - The voxel racing game version 1.5
The last 10 original CDs with boxes from the commerce of the racing game Turbo Racer 3D can be ordered at a price of 15DM at Amiga Arena! Turbo Racer 3D is a voxel racing game in the 'Flyin High' genre. Required is an AGA-Computer with 68020-68060 CPU and 4 MB FASTRAM.

Amiga SDK for Windows providing Mediatic Presence
After Amiga Inc. also offers the Amiga SDK for Windows, non-Amiga medias are showing interest in the Amiga once again. We have, as usual, regrouped the press-releases on our special page "External Articles".

In this context the second interview of 'Temple of Technology' with Fleecy Moos is surely the most interesting. (Hint: you need to switch off background images to read the interview in AWeb).

Supplement:
Mistake: The interview with Fleecy is no second interview, but the one that has already been mentionned here on Ooctober 12th. Sorry, tipping error ;-)
