AmigaAMP v2.7b8 released
Thomas Wenzel writes:
I just released the new beta version v2.7b7 of AmigaAMP on my
homepage. Because of the persistent
troubles with the datatypes I now try to work around this with the guigfx.library. If
this should lead to more troubles instead of less troubles, this can be switched of with
the NOGUIGFX tool type. The guigfx.library however contains several workarounds for
errors in the datatypes, so it should run better.

Silversurfer 2.101 and howto
Jens Schönfeld writes:
Changes from 2.99 to 2.101: Silversurfer and Catweasel MK2 can be used on the same clock port.
This however requires some modifications to the Silversurfer - better directly order a readily
modified Silversurfer from your dealer.
Second change: the limited edition of the Silversurfer is recognized on the MK2,
without modification! The Catweasel MK2 also has a 26pin expansion port, which I did not really
make use of so far - the limited edition is the first product to run on it.

Silversurfer Update
Jens Schönfeld writes:
Sales of the Silversurfer started surprisingly well. Preorders have been catched up, so there
will be no more delays for orders.
Since October 15th, there is a software update available from my
website.
Changes:
- device now 68000 compatible
- A600 adapter supported
- crashes with Z4 board fixed
- Installer script optimized
- successful installation can now be checked by the power LED "morse code" even without a 15kHz monitor
Start of delivery for the A600 adapter is November 10th, 1999. Preorders are not accepted, to
avoid confusion with people who placed pre-orders but bought one at the Cologne show.
Available since Thursday is the Silversurfer limited edition. It has a 26pin
port for connecting with old Buddha controllers (those with a green board) or the Catweasel
Z-II (all versions). The number is limited to 88. The limited edition is not available
in shops, but only by fax order from individual Computers.
Due to the small numbers, the price is ~40 Euro plus ~5 Euro P&P.

Apex: Payback status report 2
There is a new status report about Payback from
Apex Designs.
- Bugs have been removed. There have been problems with collision control. It now
works faster and more reliable, but needs some more work.
- The sound mixing code has been implemented. It is a very flexible system. A total
of 12 sounds can be mixed with their exact 3D position, and be reproduced in stereo
via the inverse square law. Moreover, a realistic doppler effect simulation is available.
All this runs on the Amiga soundchip "Paula", and will be optimised by Assembler code.
- Talks have been made with several bands about the soundtrack. Perhaps more in the next update.

2nd beta of AHI/PPC
Martin Blom has released a new beta of AHI for PPC. This version supports WarpUp,
but right now is 35% slower than the PowerUp version. Therefore you shouldn't expect
much speed from this version, but simply tell Martin Blom if it runs.
Due to a recently discovered bug in WarpUp, AHI is kept from using the
cache like it is supposed to. AHI will either provide a workaround for this, or
require a newer version of WarpUp.

Aminet Status
Urban Mueller writes in dcsam that right now there is no way to say when
Aminet will be running again. Older files can be downloaded from the usual
servers, new uploads are still not exchanged between servers.
Reason for the trouble is that the main server in Paderborn has
been hacked, and has to be completely rebuild.
If Aminet should stay down for duration, the main server will be
transferred back to wuarchive, which would however take some time, too.
