IOSPIRIT: Spring promotion with free drivers
Even before the calendaric beginning of spring, spring has arrived in Germany and at IOSPIRIT. "Time to polish our offers.", we thought. No sooner said than done:

We keep our low special prices of only 9.99 EUR per title until the 31st of March - and add even more to it: as a free extra, fxSCAN and VHI Studio now come with full versions 1 of our drivers. For fxSCAN that is the IOUSB Scanner Package and for VHI Studio that's the IOUSB DigiCam Package and the VHI RS232 Pack 2.

Take advantage of this truely low-priced opportunity and give the gift of software made with love to your computer ;-)
  1. free extra - thus without support, functional guarantee or warranty of any kind. You find the serials of the drivers on the invoice that you are being sent via e-mail as PDF.
  2. the VHI RS232 pack does not contain Olympus drivers. These are no longer available.

individual Computers: New software

Catweasel MK4 with Linux drivers

Michael Krause has adapted his cwfloppy driver for Linux to the Catweasel MK4. The new driver is only available for Kernel version 2.6, and can currently only read disks. Get more information on the author's homepage.

MMC64 plugins available

The flashcard-based mass storage device for the C64 computer supports a plugin system that handles unknown filetypes with external programs. The first plugins support the seven picture formats Koala, Doodle, Advanced Art Studio, Interpaint, Hi-Eddi, Art Studio and Paint Magic.

Download: MMC64_PicturePlugins.zip (5 KByte)

Further, there's a player for a streaming.video format that's already supported by another mass storage unit for the C64:

PAL version:: MMC64_aniplgin10_PAL.zip (2 KByte)
NTSC version: MMC64_aniplgin10_NTSC.zip (2 KByte)

The BIOS of MMC64 has been improved a lot after the first bug reports. The new version 0.96 can be flashed by the user by simply placing the file in the SYSTEM64 directory of a flashcard. Should anything go wrong while flashing the unit with the browser, the same tool is available on a recovery disk.

BIOS: MMC64_V096.zip (7 KByte)
Recovery disk: MMC64_Recovery_096.zip (8 KByte)

Detailed documentation of MMC64 is now available in the support area of the website of individual Computers. Programmers can find information about the MMC64 registers, and a few code examples of how to read and write data from and to the flashcard in their own programs. A commented source code for a plugin will follow in a few days. (cg) (Translation: cg)

MUI: several source codes secured
Jens Langner announces that his call to support the saving of the data from Allan Odgaard's broken hard-disk (amiga-news.de reported), led to a success. All data could be secured so that active development of products like "TextEditor.mcc", "BetterString.mcc", "HTMLview.mcc" or "IProbe" can now continue.

Under the title link has Langner summarized the events and explains in short the licences he wants to use to distribute the named titles in the future. He thanks especially all those who have supported him and shows his deep impression regarding the extent of the support he received. (cg) (Translation: wk)

Genesi: Request to developers for the Open Desktop Workstation
Under the title link, Genesi has published the following request to the developers who are working on software for the Pegasos-based Open Desktop Workstation. The company explicitely wants also MorphOS projects to be registered.

"Please read the latest Genesi Press Release and watch the new PegasosPPC/ODW presentation animation.

Most importantly, please update your PPCZone Project entries (if you received your ODW and somehow did not get an account yet please contact matt@genesi.co.uk).

Partners and potential partners are logging in to see the latest updates and entries.

With the advent of the initiative in China, Genesi will be seeking to support/develop additional national centers. Discussions involving a second facility in India and a third to support Central and South America are already underway. Your PPCZone Project entries are a meaningful way for you to present your developments to Genesi Partners and Customers. Please keep them updated!

The first round of Pilot Projects are drawing to successful conclusions. In the implementation phase of the various initiatives developer support on a full time and part time basis will be required. Having your PPCZone Project entry up to date indicating your availablity, resume and activity/projects will further your opportunity around the PegasosPPC and the ODW.

With the Avalanche Desktop Reference Project extending from Debian to soon also include Gentoo, OpenSolaris and a new MySQL Initiative, the announcement of the Freescale and China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII) National Linux Systems Development Lab, the soon-to-be officially confirmed Genesi/MIT Open Course Ware satellite Internet delivery pilot, ConnectEE, and finally the new Mobile MorphOS effort, the potential for PegasosPPC/ODW related consulting and employment opportunities are growing. Please get your PPCZone Project pages updated!

For information concerning your account or to establish an account please contact the webmaster. Thanks!" (snx)

individual Computers: Big news-update

Catweasel MK4 now shipping

Shipping of the Catweasel MK4 has started exactly one month ago. We have now filled all back-orders and want to say thank you for the trust and the patience that our customers have shown. The new delay was caused by the transition to a lead-free production process. We have now solved all problems that arose with this transition, and are now perfectly prepared for the new laws that become effective in 2006.

MMC64 production finished

The same lead-free production process was used for the assembly of MMC64, the flashcard-based mass storage unit developed by Oliver Achten. Shipping of this product has started on Friday March 4th, 2005. We're now taking orders through our contact form, or through e-mail. The price per unit is 49,- EUR.

New Deathbed Vigil DVDs arrived

The film by Dave Haynie about the last days of Commodore experiences constant demand, so we have imported new DVDs. German customs have released the parcel on March 4th, 2005, so we can now ship the DVDs in the free market of the European Union. Due to the strong EUR currency, we were able to lower the price to 34.90 EUR each. The film is recorded on DVD-R media, and we have chosen the PAL version for the European market. Dave has not only signed the inlays, but also the discs this time, so collectors get two original autographs with every order!

New software for Catweasel MK4

Unfortunately, the Windows operating system kept some surprises for us that we could not account for during the beta test. Some customers could not even install the drivers, and others have reported errors with no obvious reasons. The new driver can be used for both the Catweasel MK3 and MK4, and it fixes all known problems.

Download: CWMK40107.zip (68 KByte)

The driver can be used with Windows 2000 and Windows XP (all versions). Please remove all elements of the old driver manually before installing (this is described in the readme file of the archive). Users of Windows 2000 should check if they need to install update 822831, otherwise the driver can still not be installed.

Catweasel MK4 drivers for classic Amiga are also available now: The new version of multidisk V3.65 uses OpenPCI to access the controller through the Prometheus PCI bridge. Other PCI bridges that are suppored by OpenPCI have not been tested, so we can't guarantee proper function.

Download: multidisk365.lha (40 KByte)

individual Computers at events

We're especially happy to announce that we're sponsoring the scene-event Breakpoint again this year. Breakpoint takes place at Easter, following the tradition of the famous Mekka&Symposium parties. A new location will be used this year, and it will break more records: We're especially looking forward to the biggest "bigscreen" that has ever been used on a demo-party, and the seminars that are introdced for the first time this year.

AmiTron 2005 will take place on April 2nd, 2005 in Trondheim, Norway. The main point of interest for this small show is Amiga computers ranging from the oldest A1000 to the brand new micro-A1, but due to popular request, we'll do demonstrations of our retro-computing products as well, such as using a Commodore 64 as a web-server.

Strategy game: News from "Schlachtfeld"
There are some news of the strategy game called "Schlachtfeld":

Dennis "Psyria" Lohr has agreed to make available his Schlachtfeld title theme for Phase II as well and to write some other tracks for the game if it is necessary.

Besides this somebody has been found who creates a new background graphic for Schlachtfeld Phase II. You can find a preview under the title link. If you have suggestions for other background graphics please contact Horst Diebel via e-mail.

Those models which were designed by Edgar Leidig will probably not be used in Phase II. But the basic structures are kept and will be still improved so the units may be used in a Phase III.

During the next days there will be updates on the Schlachtfeld website. (cg) (Translation: dr)
