Elbox: Spider II for Mediator- and Amithlon-user
Elbox Computer is proud to announce release of Spider II--the new version of the ground-breaking Spider USB 2.0 Hi-Speed controller. Spider II is based on the newest USB 2.0 PCI chipset, improving data transmission by up to 20 percent of bandwidth as compared with the previous USB 2.0 chipset.

USB 2.0 is the fastest USB standard ever, supporting data speeds up to 480Mbps. That is 40 times faster than USB 1.1, making USB 2.0 ideal for external storage devices, scanners, CD-RWs, printers, cameras, and more.

The Spider II USB 2.0 PCI card gives your computer the highest USB speeds available today.

The Spider II USB 2.0 Hi-Speed PCI controller is backward-compatible, which means it works also with older USB 1.1 peripherals.

  • Compliant with the EHCI (USB 2.0) and OHCI (USB 1.1) specifications
  • Consists of three independent host controllers: two OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) and one EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface)
  • All ports can handle high-speed (480Mbps), full-speed (12Mbps) and low-speed (1.5Mbps) transactions
  • Supports up to 127 downstream USB devices
  • Supplies 500 mA power to each USB port
  • Supports the PCI-Bus Power Management Interface
  • Includes drivers for AmigaOS for all Mediator busboards and for Amithlon
  • Amiga support works under the Poseidon stack
Requirements
  • One free PCI slot
  • Mediator Multimedia CD (for Mediator based systems)
Package contents
  • Spider II USB 2.0 Hi-Speed PCI card
  • CD with Mediator and Amithlon EHCI (USB 2.0) drivers for Poseidon

The Spider II USB 2.0 High-Speed PCI card will be on sale as of 15 April 2003, at the suggested retail price of EUR 49.95 (VAT excl.)

USB: Benchmarks zur ALGOR online
Due to many inquiries for the speed of the new ALGOR Zorro II USB controller by E3B they completely revised the benchmark page. Now you can find benchmarks for all USB controllers offered and tested on different system configurations.

The list of compatible USB devices has been revised too. E3B thanks all users, which supported E3B with entries. (ps) (Translation: sk)

AmigaOS-Game: BoulderDäsh RTX - Rockford is back
Guido Mersmann wrote:
As already announced some days ago, I can intimate the publication of BoulderDaesh RTX. BoulderDaesh RTX is a 1:1 conversion of the good old C64 and was here and there drilled out, without reducing the game play. BoulderDaesh RTX runs on Amiga-OS-COMPATIBLE systems starting with the A500 up to fast Amithlon systems.

The Picasso96, Cybergraphics and AHI support permits 100% hardware independence. Beside the well-known additional archives there is now also an archive called "boulderdaeshfull.lha" available, which contains all currently in the Aminet available data. Included are many small archives available in the Aminet wich have been made available by their respective authors.

The most important game play innovations in comparisson to the original C64 version are an integrated game and level editor. A music player with playlist support as well as the possibility to easily integrate own music, samples, graphics and fonts into the game. When using your own levels they can even change from level to level. New play elements and the enormous level offer round off the extension.

The new BoulderDaesh RTX V5.11 archives are already on their way to the Aminet and will be available in the next few days. BoulderDaesh RTX - He will rock you! Finally a list of all features:
  • 1:1 BoulderDäsh clone
  • Full speed under MC680x0 Amigas with AGA, ECS or OCS
  • Full graphic board support! Up to 256 Colors (depends on graphic set)
  • Full sound card support (AHI)!
  • System friendly! Can be paused and resumed at any time.
  • requires OS 2.04 or higher
  • Commodore styleguide conform
  • Locale
  • Great GUI
  • Online Help
  • many preferences windows
  • Up to six players

Music: Roland JD800 MIDI commands for tracks&fields 0.1
Made system area and part area commands for JD800. The rest of commands im going to make sometime in future when i know more about coding or when i get help with it. So look out maybe it will come sooner or later. I will try to make my best.

This package is made as roland jd800 has some bugs in ROM so you can save the sysex with tracks&fields and then put this commands in the music you are creating. The part effects and values are the ones that... at last on my computer arent saved for some reason. I have the latest ROM. And ofcours you can use the commands to play with the settings in the music. If i make more commands than it would be even more fun as there would be controlling more buttons realtime. heh. Later on.

As usual, if anyone finds this usefull please tell me and write a short letter. It can be whatever. I like it, dislike it etc. (ps)

Music: Access Virus MIDI commands for tracks&fields 0.5
This update of tracks&fields uses much less characters in filenames and uses hex for commandnumbers to make them shorter.

Midicommands are updated to check if it gets higher parameter value then 127. If so it does not send any data at all. It should work better sending higher then 127 is onlyt taking more miditraffic when the virus only accepts upto 127.

Soon i will release some commandsets for the Roland JD800 synthesizers. But not all as it's not easy to do commands for JD800 as for Virus. However i will probably get some help so maybe there will come updates too. It would be nice if people that have this synthesizer tell me so i know there are people using them. However as not many people uses t&f i will later make commands for HDRec so i think there will be some people interested. (nba)
