The Register: Sharp uses Intel for Linux PDA
According to ´The Register´ Sharp abandons Hitachi in favor of Intel and
breaks with the tradition to equip the Zaurus PDA with StrongARM. Sharp admitted
this yesterday.
Certainly the price was a factor in the decision as to use the Intel CPU means to
save costs. The reason? "StrongARM offers lowest energy consumption and best functions,"
says Hiroshi Uno, leader for mobile systems at Sharp in an interview with Bloomberg.

Tool: update of asyncio.library for WarpOS
Thanks to helpful support, there's a new update of the asyncio.library with WarpOS support
which will appear on Aminet in the next days.
On a couple of Amigas, the PPC task could freeze. This bug is now fixed. Also the
library should run in PPC mode faster than before.
The update was tested with WarpOS v5.1 and worked without problems. Nevertheless
interested users should first test the update as problems with older WarpOS versions
cannot be ruled out.
Download until appearance on Aminet:

Cooperation between Petsoff and individual Computers
After a long time the efficient Delfine soundcard continues being
produced with a DSP (digital Signal processor) at individual Computers.
The card was reworked on the Zorro-site to increase the performance to
a level which has never been there with unchanged Z-II buses: "Delfina
Flipper edition" gains more than 5MB7sec! This speed can be used to play
more channels than it has ever been possible on a different Z-II soundcard or to reduce the cpu-using while playing single channels. All known DSP functions and programs for the Delfina also work with the new cards inclusively the most interesting application which is playing MP3 files with minimal cpu-use. Thus an Amiga without a turbo board is able to play MP3 in best quality!
With the help of the Toccata emulation and of the AHI software interface the Delfina can be used by each software which needs a soundcard. A midi expansion connects the Delfina to midi-expanders, synthesizers and keyboards.
By reworking the Delfina s
oundcard by individual Computers the costs could be enormously reduced.
The new cards will be probably available in summer 2001.

Emulator: WinUAE Version 0.8.16R3 released
WinUAE, the Amiga-Emulator for Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2K and WinXP,
is released in Version 0.8.16 Release 3 with new rtg.library.
- FIXED: GUI DLL loader is no longer fixated on Deutsch.
- FIXED: Selecting 68000 CPU from a JIT config doesn't result in error message.
- ADDED: Sprite-collisions can be enabled/disabled during emulation, not just
at startup.
- ADDED: Patched rtg.library added to package, which should fix the mouse trails.
(Thanks to Tobias Abt and Alexander Kneer of P96, and Bernd Roesch).
This file (rtg.library) will end up in the "Amiga Programs/" directory
under the "WinUAE/" directory where you install to.
- ADDED: German keymap (UAE_German)
- ADDED: UAE disk change utility
- ADDED: French and German DLLs updated, Italian DLL added. (Thanks Georg V,
FagEmul, and Daniele G)
- CHANGED: Tweaked the sound code again, memory-leak should be gone, performance
should be better - expect a speed decrease when using JIT and sound.
- CHANGED: Graphics glitches caused by NOVSYNC flipping should be gone in full-
screen mode.
- REMOVED: Turkish DLL, as it was out-of-date
Download: WinUAE0816R3.exe

Hyperion Entertainment changes status of Warp3D V4
Hyperion Entertainment changes status of Warp3D V4
We would like to inform you that after extensive deliberation, Hyperion
Entertainment has decided to upgrade the status of Warp 3D V4 from a
freeware product to a commercial OEM product which will offered to Amiga
hardware developers for a moderate license fee.
This decision was prompted by two major reasons:
- Hyperion Entertainment has reached an agreement with Amiga Inc. to
incorporate Warp3D V4 into Amiga OS 4.x on a per unit royalty
basis. Producers of zico compliant hardware (Amiga One etc.) will be
required to license Amiga OS 4.x and will as such be paying
indirectly for Warp 3D V4 drivers. It would be unacceptable to both
Amiga Inc. and these hardware producers that they would be required
to pay royalties for a product which other hardware producers would
receive free of charge.
- Warp 3D started out as a freeware product developed by non-commercial
developers to support the Virge and Permedia 2 chipsets. Compared to
current chipsets, the Virge and Permedia 2 are extremely primitive
and feature-poor. The effort and time needed to adequately support
modern chipsets such as the Voodoo 3 and Matrox G450 with their rich
and advanced feature-set is far greater than the effort required to
support the Virge and Permedia 2 chipsets. Combined with the fact
that there are currently no less than 7 different PCI product from
three different manufacturers, it's clear that the effort required to
support modern chipsets on all the different PCI hardware available
goes far beyond the scope of a freeware project.
As the original Warp 3D developers have now moved on to commercial
development, maintaining Warp 3D as a freeware product would entail that
development of new Warp 3D drivers and extension of the Warp 3D API
would be very slow as development could only take place "after hours".
This is not only not in the interest of Amiga users but it is also not
in the interest of hardware producers and resellers who rely on the
availability of Warp 3D drivers to successfully market their Amiga
hardware.
Hyperion Entertainment fully understands that the company has a
responsibility towards the Amiga community including the hardware
producers because of its control over the Warp 3D API and no attempt has
ever been made or will be made to exploit this position unfairly.
We have already successfully negotiated agreements with Matay and DCE
regarding Warp3D V4 support for the Voodoo 3 on their respective PCI
hardware. We are therefore happy to report that Voodoo 3 drivers for
these PCI solutions will be available shortly.
A similar proposal was made to Elbox but so far we have not received any
reaction.
Users considering purchase of a PCI solution for Amiga and who are
interested in high-performance 3D graphics should investigate the
availability of Warp3D drivers prior to making their decision to opt for
one or the other PCI solution.
It should also be noted that Warp3D will remain free for end users.

Marius Schwarz is searching a graphician who could 'just' paint about 1,200 icons.
Those Icons shall be used to identify datatypes in DirectDos, so it isn't really about
1,200 icons, but might be only 300 to 400 - so it's an absolutely practicable task :-).
At this time 166 (more or less good) icons exist. If you are interested, please mail
to Marius Schwarz.

GFX-BASE: Test of 'WordHunt', Search, Links
Kevin Hansen has released an English
test
of the think-game 'WordHunt' by Robert/Bob Dickow on
GFX-BASE.
'WordHunt' is about finding words hidden in a box full of characters.
Moreover the website was extended at other areas:
the search function has been strongly enhanced, so among other things
searching inside of the scene demo database is now possible, too.
New links as well as game and scene demo entries were added and some days
ago the GFX-Base introduced the last week's Aminet highlights.

PCI: Matay and Elbox (Update)
Matay published an official statement about the letter Elbox Computer
sent to Fabio Trotta. The letter by Elbox bears on Fabio Trotta's test
of the Prometheus board on NoRiscNoFun and
is part of the statement.
Supplement 27 May 2001
Elbox accused Matay to use graphics board drivers by Elbox without permission,
whereas Matay refers to an existing contract with the Picasso96 team.
(Desiatox)
(sd)
Supplement 28 May 2001
Today also the Picasso96 team piped up to definitively invalidate the accusation,
"we, the Picasso96 team, just want to straighten out that the Voodoo
boards driver utilized for the test was written by ourself. After all we have
experiences with this chip-set since the MacPicasso850. Furthermore Matay are
respectable business partners of ours. From our point of view all of the accusations
launched by Elbox are completely weak and of unbelievable bad style".

MPEG player: Frogger 1.65rc5 for PowerPC released
A new version of the Amiga MPEG animation player ´Frogger´ for PowerPC
computers has been released. With this it is now possible to select several
animations at once that are then played one after another.
The graphical user interface (GUI) has been revised and causes less often a
system crash. The speed was also part of the revision and much has been improved.
In case that the original Frogger website (title link) is too slow, you can use
this mirror site for
downloading, too. The program is shareware and can be registered either directly
at the author Sebastian Jëdruszkiewicz in Poland or for German readers at
Fun Time World. (ps)
