Hyperion Entertainment: Warp3D for Voodoo 3 We are pleased to announce that our Voodoo 3 Warp 3D V4 drivers for Prometheus (both 68K and PPC) are now fully completed. We are currently in the process of rewriting the Warp 3D license agreement so you can expect the full driver package in the course of the next week. As we are still getting e-mails about the Elbox situation, we would like to point out that we have not heard from anybody at Elbox for over two weeks now. At this point it appears to be highly improbable that we will ever see 3D drivers for the Elbox's range of PCI products. Again, we would like to ask everybody mailing us about 3D support for Elbox PCI hardware to contact Elbox rather than Hyperion Entertainment. We cannot be held responsible in any way for the lack of 3D support. If 3D graphics are important to you, we advise you to look into purchasing a competing PCI product."

Amiga-Mailbox Stardate access disrupted The Stardate mailbox (Amiga mailbox since 10 years and since more than one year accessible through web portal http/telnet) can not be reached for some days because of a lightning stroke. Also affected is the Dynamite server stardate.2y.net. Polling boxes and users are asked to switch to the Modem/ISDN numbers (can be found here in the Amiga Link Directory). It'll be announced when access via internet is possible again. (ps) [News message: 13. Jul. 2001, 21:51] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Soundtrack and Boing beachballs sought My name is Bernhard Kellerer, I am Creative Director of the London film production company "iMagic Films Limited". I am Amiga fan since 1987, foundation member of the Austrian Amiga Club Tirol and still convinced that we'll be "Back For The Future" one day. What always fascinated me about the Amiga is the community that sticked through thick and thin with our "girlfriend". And just this community it is that gave me this idea. We will soon film a commercial for an Austrian town. It is a low budget production which is made possible only through the (mostly) free of charge working volunteers. Despite the low budget, the 30 - 40 second spot will certainly have a high cinematic standard. It is about a young woman who is catapulted from a dreary surroundings into a fascinating dreamworld. About 150 extras, some fire-eaters, pyros and confetti bombs will provide a proper spectacle. The spot will be shown in many cinemas. Now we're looking for a piece of music which accompanies the dream journey of our protagonist. GEMA-free music is out of question, but a real movie composer too expensive. Here the community comes into play: there are many talented musicians in the Amiga MOD- and demo-scene who could easily compose a soundtrack for us. Maybe an already existing piece could be modified. We haven't agreed on any music style so far and are thus open for everything. Since nevertheless some conditions regarding length and structure of the piece should be obeyed, I suggest that people who are interested in the project contact me directly by e-mail. As a special insider gag it's supposed to rain boing balls which the local firemen will let fall down upon the extras from a net affixed to a ladder. For this, we need a larger number of boing beachballs. And here again the community is asked: who can do without his beachball before the summer vacation? Which dealers have maybe still boing beachballs in stock and could put them shortly at our disposal? Maybe this commercial could later be adapted as an AMIGA commercial. My postal address is: Bernhard Kellerer Langgasse 8 A-6065 Thaur - Austria - (ps) (Translation: rh) [News message: 13.

epic interactive: Amiga version of The Feeble Files? In the last weeks we received quite a few e-mails and requests for an Amiga version of our upcoming Mac conversion of the cartoon adventure The Feeble Files. Since porting the game to the Macintosh is now completed we have evaluated the possibility of an Amiga version of this great game. An Amiga version would require an 060/PPC equipped Amiga with 32 MByte RAM and a graphics board (4 MB). The game would come with complete English and German speech versions on at least 2 CDs. You can find more information on this great title in the projects section of our homepage. Because the Amiga market has declined over the past 12 months and porting a game to another platform is always also a financial risk we have decided to start a preorder campaign for The Feeble Files Amiga: If we receive at least 400 preorders for this game we will bring The Feeble Files to the Amiga. Porting the game from the Mac to the Amiga should not take more than 6 weeks, so that the game could theoretically reach Amiga users by early September. Please send orders to order@epic-interactive.com. The game will cost Euro 51,10 (plus shipping). If you wish to pay by credit card please contact KDH Datentechnik.

| 12.Jul.2001 Merlancia Industries |
Dave Haynie: CTO of Merlancia Industries Dave Haynie is the new CTO of Merlancia Industries. Dave Haynie might be well known by any Amiga user, cause he's a kind of living legend. The following is a brief summary of his career so far: Dave Haynie studied electronic engineering at the Carnegie Mellon University. After his studies four month of employment at General Electric he was hired by Commodore in September 1983 to support their "TED" project, which was started by Jack Tramiel. Later the C116 emerged from the "TED" project. While his times at Commodore Haynie decisively worked on many projects, like several 8 bit machines (e.g. C128), the Amigas A500, A2000, A2500, A3000, and A4000, Zorro-III, and he took part in the development of the AA and AAA chipsets, etc.. All in all he spent 11½ years at Commodore. 'Beside' of that he wrote about 50 articles for Amiga magazines of those times; Amiga Sentry, .Info, Amiga Transactor, Amazing Computing, Amiga World, etc.. Furthermore he wrote some developer tools and the FFS tool "DiskSalv". Some of his 'stations' at Commodore:
Haynie created a 2-hours video about the last day at Commodore and the goodbye-party, known by the name of "The Deathbed Vigil and Other Tales of Digital Angst". This video for example is as a bonus content of the "Amiga Forever" CD by Cloanto. After his times at Commodore Dave Haynie worked for the Scala Inc. company for a short time, where about 80% of the former Commodore engineers met, again. In November 1995 Amiga Technologies contracted him to consult for the PowerAmiga project. He developed a concept, but due to Escom's financial problems this project got canceled. After that, in May 1996, Haynie was contracted by the PIOS Computer AG, where he was in charge of the hardware. Shortly before founded by Stefan Domeyer PIOS engaged also other former Amiga Int. or Commodore employees, among them such clinking names like Dr. Peter Kittel and Andy Finkel. PIOS formed up to become a successful distributor of PowerPC hardware and to make the PowerAmiga dream reality - the term of "PiosONE" was born. Later from the PIOS Computer AG the Met@box AG emerged, a group of meanwhile six companies with among other things Settop boxes as part of their product line. Me@box made application for insolvency in May 2001. More stations on Haynie's way:
He contributed information for the "The International Technology And. Computing Historical Association" ITACHA, who collect 'artefacts' from technic and computer industry and make these information available online. Unfortunately at this time there is only one page about the "C65" available. Also a really rich source for Amiga devotees are the "The Dave Haynie Archives". Last but not least it might be to mention that he became known and dear to many of the Amiga community as a an unweary, all-time helpful co-worker/partner/friend.

CNet: Psion leaving handheld business Psion, who were about to utilize the AmigaDE for future PDAs, will leave the handheld business. The reason might be that Psion do not have enough financial resources to compete with PalmOS or WinCE products. The share declined in price to it's all-time-low during the last weeks. But Psion is working on the Netbook. It is obscure to what extent these changes will affect the use of the AmigaDE. (ps) (Translation: mj) [News message: 12.

The company drew sales of 7.5 millions USD in 1Q/01 which stands for a minus of 19% compared to last year's sales. Follow the title link for the Golem article (German). Edtor's note: Since at the moment every chip manufacturer in fact is in the same situation this seems to be more likely a normal evolution of market. (ps) (Translation: mj) [News message: 12.

On my homepage you can download a gfx-set with aqua-look for the great CD-player ´MUICD-Player´. The alternative images glow and give away when clicking them. Have a look at a screenshot. Maybe it encourage some users to create their own sets? Besides this some areas have been changed.
