`10.May.2002` Amiga Inc.	Engine 'Inga' to Be Ported to All Amiga Platforms by Computer City The graphic adventure engine ´Inga´ from Inutilis is going to be ported to all Amiga platforms by Computer City. INGA stands for INutilis Graphic Adventure and is an engine for graphic adventures in the style of Monkey Island 3. It was to have been developed solely for the game Ermentrud, however it should serve as a basis for all interested developers who don't want to reinvent the wheel. Whoever wants to see Inga in action can download the demo of Ermentrud and try it out. You'll find the complete press release under the title link. (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 10.

`10.May.2002` Christoph Gutjahr (ANF)	Matrox G1000 offered - including OS4 Support (Update) The graphic card manufacturer Matrox appears to intend to introduce the new product "Matrox G1000" on the 14th of May. The first listings of the technical specifications are shown on many different hardware-oriented websites: matrox.jpg, text. On ANN Ben Hermans (Hyperion) opened up speculation about whether OS4 drivers would be available for this card: "Oh, you can really trust in the existence of this card. The thing totally creams the Geforce 4. We saw it in action... yeah, OS4 will support this card. But not right away, modern architecture of this type requires Warp3D V5 ("Nova")... This card is lightyears ahead of the other stuff on the market. The only thing that even comes close to it is the P10 from 3DLabs. I'm just happy that I can finally let the cat out of the bag." Update: Ben Hermans, the project leader of OS4 found his ANN remarks on several different news forums (see below links); his Matrox G1000 "chatter" was quoted. Apparently Ben was the first to actually see this card. There was speculation that the remarks were really an attack on the nVidia-Imperium, but Hermans disagreed with that in a new ANN posting (that maintained the truthfulness of his earlier comments).

`07.May.2002` Fun Time World (ANF)	Fun Time World: Distribution of Frogger&SoftCinema quicker now Some users who ordered Frogger or SoftCinema are still waiting for delivery. Unfortunately we had to stop the distribution short-dated to look for a better solution. The former kind of distribution has taken too much time and therefore wasn't to handle anymore. We had the choice either to stop the distribution at all or to think about a better solution. After some talk with the developer we found an alternative possibility to maintain the distribution and to deliver the software quicker than before. Everyone who ordered software from us but hasn't received it, has been informed by us about the next steps. New orders will now regulary be sent within the next three days, but also often within the same day. With Frogger and SoftCinema you will get video/animation player set which is capable of playing mostly all known formats. The development of that software still continues so there will be steadily new updates, which will include not only new features but also significant speed increasements. The player set is time limited available at our old page (title link), the new site is expected to be online from May, the 13th 2002. Of course there are orders per e-mail possible as well.

`06.May.2002` kdh news (ANF)	USB card HIGHWAY available from 31.05.2002 The USB card HIGHWAY will be general available on May, 31st 2002 and will be distributed by KDH Datentechnik. This is the first time that Amiga users can connect and use modern USB devices in connection with their classic Amigas. HIGHWAY is a Zorro II USB card and comes with an integrated 4-port-hub. The user has the possibility to connect up to four USB devices without the need for an additional hub. In addition, the HIGHWAY card can be expanded by the new 10Mbit ethernet modul NORWAY without wasting an additional Zorro slot. A compatibility list for Zorro-boards and Zorro-cards can be found here. The boards have been developed and manufactured by E3B (Michael Boehmer). The worldwide distribution is done by KDH Datentechnik and your local Amiga dealer will have the cards in stock by end of May. The scope of delivery includes the USB software stack Poseidon by Chris Hodges. Drivers for USB mice, keyboard and parallel interface (printers) and mass storage devices (SCSI-emulation: e.g. flashcard-reader, ZIP-devices, digicams following the MSD-standard) will be shipped in addition to the HIGHWAY card without any additional cost. More drivers (webcam, digicam and printers) are being developed right now by third party companies. We do support the development of the Amiga OS4.0 contained USB-stack by providing the USB cards HIGHWAY and SUBWAY. Both cards serve as a reference-hardware for the software-development and will be directly supported by OS4.0. Alternatively it will be possible to use the provided Poseidon stack.
