Iwin: product specifications of A510MP and A1010MP online
At AmiUpdate, the entry in the
Sun Dealer Catalog is considered sufficient proof for the existence of Iwin. Here's the
entry.
At ANN, there are two more interesting postingsabout the subject: 1. The manufacturer of the tower casings has been found, it is the company Antec. 2.
Jeffrey D. Webster explains in a posting
to c.s.a.m. why it isn't that hard to get added to the Sun Dealer Catalog.
Comment about the technical specification: It reads all too well. You cannot run the
bus system with a 68060-50, however. You will never get the speed to the PCI bus to transport
the data fast enough for the pixel rates of the gfx card. Not to speak of AGP. I consider
that impossible with a 68060 CPU. A company without Amiga experience can never implement
this stuff. For this, the subject is far too complicated. And how is all this intended
to run without Amiga chipset?

Bernhard Hembach dead
Attorney and bancruptcy manager Bernhard Hembach has died on August 20th
at the age of only 55 by heart attack. Our feelings are with his family.
Mr. Hembach managed the bancruptcies of Commodore and Escom, and by his
casual approach did his part in keeping the Amiga alive.

Statement about the current status of the warpTrans project by WARP9
Full text translator for English-German, German-English (details at the title link).
Since January 1999, a team based in Netherlands is working on the program.
Based upon a already finished dictionary the implementation has been possible at all.
The language recognition is almost finished, and is unique so far on the Amiga in its
high quality. An integration of this system into other applications is also possible.
To bring the warpTrans project to a final version, the time until November should
suffice.
Despite announcements, feedback of interested users has been sparse. While
everybody is calling for new, innovative software... One ought to think that such a
program deserved more attention. This does not seem to be the case. It seems like
everything is already there and no one needs something new? (Full text - German - at
title link).

AmigaOS 3.5 briefly presented on TV
In the (German) TV show "Neues", AmigaOS 3.5 was presented in a one minute report.
Among others, the new HD-Toolbox was shown, which will support hard drives >4GB,
SCSI and IDE. Aside from Internet funtionality and online manual, the Preferences
were also shown. Although it wasn't a lengthy report, but it's great that the Amiga
is seeing more and more media attention.
Thomas Nosutta wrote on the subject:
Since there have been a report about the Amiga as well as about the Computer Games Museum
in Berlin, I wondered that the rest of the world would like to know more about it.
So here are two links for those interested:
8-Bit-Nirvana (German) and
Computer Games Museum.

Cracker group Digital Corruption: OS3.5 cracked?
Set aside the fact that you shouldn't use pirate copies at all (they are illegal,
and severly harm the Amiga), we can only warn of this cracked version, since it
contains some nice backdoors for sure (like those viruses that appeared on Aminet
recently, which did send out eMails unnoticed).

Just for your information: 1998 and 1999, we (A.C.T. and ETERNITY) have officially
offered OPERA to make the port of the Amiga version on our own - for payment as well
as without payment for royalities. We were informed the Amiga port was underway, and
therefore they had no need for our services.
With other words: Forget about Opera - it will never come.

geeknews: Q & A with Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner
Q: Will we see a project from Opera to support the upcoming AmigaOS?
A: We will have to wait and see. At this time we do not know what will happen
with the new Amiga and what it really means. I have had my share of Amigas in
the past and I still have a couple at home so I would love to see the Amiga
prosper. At this time, however, we do not know what is going to happen. There
have been a lot of announcements without results from Amiga Inc. and we are
still waiting to see real results. If they deliver we will consider a port.

The akMPEG2 animation player is now available from my homepage. The archive contains an 68k version

version 1.00: Version 1.00 had only a 68k version and used the mathffp.library instead of the CPU,
some bugs removed.
P.S.: I know the program does not support sound (MPEG Video with audio part). This will not change ;).
