`02.Apr.2004` Robin (ANF)	MUIrdf - Viewer for RSS/RDF-News Many news-sites offer its news in the form of so called RSS/RDF-Feeds (e.g. amiga-news.de). "MUIrdf" is a small ARexx script with which you can take the headlines of those news sources to the desktop. "MUIrdf" loads these ones (with the help of wget), shows it as HTML-sites and allows you to open the news belonging to the headlines in the browser (with OpenURL). Requirements: MUI 3.8 ARexx rxMUI RMH Libary MUI Custom Class: NList, HTMLview, BWin wget OpenURL PIPE: If the author uses the program wget 1.9.1 under WinUAE it causes a total break down. Because of this the next version will use the RxSocket.library if it is possible. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 02.

`01.Apr.2004` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	Multi-ADC (Analog Digital Changer) for Amiga, Pegasos and Amithlon Here is an electronic diagram and a small test program for my six channel multi analog digital changer (download, 87 KB). Characteristics of the ADC chip: Six measuring channels Programmable for unipolar (from 0V to +5V) and bipolar (-5V to +5V) measurements per channel Programmable reversal of the measurement polarity (only with bipolar) 12 bits resolution per channel programmable stand-by mode of the ADC The following must be installed: rexxtricks tritonrexx triton.library rexxserdev The following ENV variables should be inserted in the "ENVARC:" designation: Analog-device = serial device Analog-unit = serial unit Analog-Volt = maximal voltage reachable at the measurement entrances (normally "5") Important: The hardware (MultiADC) is fixed to a data rate of 15000 baud. If this data rate is changed on the computer there won't be any correct transfer of information. The passive building elements (condensers and resistors) must be built exactly in accordance with the instructions. Deviating values in Ohms or Farad lead to an incorrect function of the MultiADCs. All building elements are in CMOS technology. So one must wear an anti-static armband so as not to disturb the connection pins. Through this one is able to make it reliable. With one's own, self-provided program one must pay attention to the programming of the chip LTC1293, since this deviates with the available hardware something from the data in the PDF document from this chip. Example: For a logical 1 at the data entrance of the LTC1293 chip one programs in ARexx "call serwrite(ser,'11111111'B,1)" and for a logical 0 it would be "call serwrite(ser,'00000000'B,1)."

`31.Mar.2004` Peter Topolnicki (ANF)	Emulator: MaxUAE 0.8.25 including tool bundle released The Amiga emulator MaxUAE for Mac OS X has been put online in version 0.8.25. Different to Richard Drummond's announcement on his homepage there still is no SCSI support within this version. But there will be a bugfix release available soon. With the pre-version the SCSI emulation works already. At the MaxUAE website there is also version 1.0 of a bundle of tools available. These tools simplify the usage of Drummond's UAE port and consist of the following parts: UAE Config Creator (to create configurations using a GUI), UAE Dropper, UAE Game Loader (easy assignment of ADFs and choice of the system) and the UAE Virtual Disk Assistant (creation of DD/HD Floppies and hard disk images).
