AmigArt with New Layout
The Turkisch news-site in English "AmigaArt" has got a new and pleasing layout.
Many parts of this website has been rearranged without loss of the already good navigation.
Every important link is to reach from the main page.
If would have to mark it, this would be a B+ :-)

The fastest Driver for ISDN-boards ever!
Harald Frank wrote:
Many did not thought it to be possible, any more. After 1 1/2 years there is a new update for
the ISDN-boards driver software VMC-ISDN for any Amiga ISDN-board. Due to the partly loss of source code, and
some small technical problems we could not release a new version for the ISDN driver over a long period of time.
Some customers even suggested that we would have stopped working on it...., but once again we are able to offer
to you a masterly achievement of Amiga software, which is only to describe using the words better, faster and turbo.
Please, prove us that did not spend so many month full of work for this costly software for nothing, and if you know
another one owning an Amiga ISDN-board, so tell him of the new driver, cause we depend on every support from you.
It would be a pitty, if would not be able to finace this software any more in default of interest. So, come on and
register for the new beta test, now.

Take Part in the Developement of Lyra!
Lyra is the joungest child of individual Computers. This is an adapter to use
Windows-Keyboards with the Amiga.
Though some thing like this alreay exists, but none of the up to now introduced interfaces fulfilled our
personel needs. Either some of the key were not used, or others had absolutely insane seizures, and again
other had problems when more then one key were pressed at the same time. This interface
for the "Bigbox" Amigas (2000, 3000, 4000 and tower-case) easy gets pluged between keyboard and computer.
In the case of A1200 it gets impressed to the keyboard processor, which is to find on the A1200 main board.
We have spent as much effort as possible to get the seizures very similar to the original Amiga keyboards,
and to give reasonable seizures to additional keys. Though, we want to hear the opinions about the seizures
of as many users as possible befor we cannot change anything, any more. So, take your time to have close look
at the key seizures, and mail
us your opinion. The best suggestion will be honoured with some little surprise! Release is planned for the end of October.

New Amiga Design for Nokia 3210 Mobile Phone
Rolf Tingler has already created designs with Amiga look in airbrush for
several mobile phone models. Now there's also a shell available for the
Nokia 3210. For the Nokia model 8210, a new Amiga design is in the works.
The design is a bit complicated as this phone is really small and thus
there's only very little space for the design.

AddOn-Programming for PageStream
Grasshopper LLC, the distributor of PageStream, published the documentation
of IFF and links to the Application Library SDK on their pages. The release
allows third parties to write plug-ins for PageStream. Interested developers
can find more information here.
Supplement, 09-09-2000 by Ruediger Hanke:
There is a problem unfortunatly mentioned nowhere as it is. The SDK at the time beeing
works solely with SAS/C! If one tries to compile the includes using StormC, he will get
a lot of error messages and an endless loop in the compiler, if lucky.
The includes also are not the only wattle, the enclosed linker-libraries are too SAS/C specific, too.
Fortunatly Deron is very helpful, he promised me to send me the sources of these linker-libraries, so
that I can port them to StormC.
This is not mentioned on the website. At the end one might take the effort (quite a few) to adapt the
includes, just to finde out at the end that the needed linker-library doesn't match. If Deron
sends me the sources, and I would manage to get them running with StormC, I will make up a SDK version
for StromC programmers.

"Middle City" preview and interview
Juergen A. Theiner of Playamiga.de has talked with the Italian programmers
of the new adventure "Middle City" and created a preview with many screenshots.
Here a small excerpt:
"Middle City is a classical adventure in the vein of Monkey Island. The setting
is a remote village. The goal is to solve the mystery of the disappearance of
Linda Patton whose arm was found in the river. Main character is the (not really
intelligent) FBI agent Cox who has to work closely with the good-looking
Ellen Dow from the local police. All characters are very excentric and thus
suspicious. The end will be a huge suprise."

Transcript of the Coyote Interview with Bill McEwen
Christian Busse has taken the efforts of creating a transcript from the 2.1 MB
MP3 file of the Coyote Flux interview
with Bill McEwen:
Bill McEwen: Here's Bill!
Coyote Flux: Well, good day Mr McEwen, you're speaking with Sharwin - I'm from Coyote Flux, an Amiga only software team and I would like to ask you a few public questions - is that possible?
Bill McEwen: Certainly.
Coyote Flux: OK, thank you - first of all: I heard a rumour from some magazines that the German office is about to close after the inventory sales of the Amiga 1200 - is this true?
Bill McEwen: No...?
Coyote Flux: No - OK, thank you. What could you tell me about the AmigaOne?
Bill McEwen: Well, nothing publicly at this time - other than this is a new desktop replacement machine.
Coyote Flux: OK. Then there was another question: Since half a year the Amiga market has started to shrink a little bit in comparison to what it was before, especially because there are a lot of companies and sceners that rather stay with the original Amigas - we spoke to you at the show in Neuss, the World of Alternatives, about porting the current Amiga OS to PPC, we will have to add the following question: You asked for the business proposal at the show...
Bill McEwen: Yes?
Coyote Flux: ... and we would like to know: We want to do the Amiga OS PPC port together with a few others at our own cost together, and we would like to know if that is possible as we think that the Amiga makes a bigger chance of surviving when the older machines get a chance as well.
Bill McEwen: Yeah, no, again, if you send me the information we're happy to take a look at it - we've been in conversations with Haage & Partner about this, we have received their timing, their proposal how long they think it will take...
Coyote Flux: Yes
Bill McEwen: ... we've been looking at market trends and designs, so I'm happy to take a look at what you have - we've not made a final decision on that
Coyote Flux: OK, so there hasn't been a final decision yet about if an Amiga OS PPC port can or will be made?
Bill McEwen: Correct.
Coyote Flux: OK, what do you think about the Boxer?
Bill McEwen: I don't think it will ever ship.
Coyote Flux: And if it WILL be shipped, would you be supporting it?
Bill McEwen: Oh, we already have, publicly!
Coyote Flux: OK, so it won't ever be a problem, the Classic Amiga range will proceed, and the Amiga will, like, go two seperate ways or something?
Bill McEwen: No, I don't see that, because you'll be able to run your Amiga Classic on the new system!
Coyote Flux: Aha, I see, but surely the speed will not be as fast as an original chipset...
Bill McEwen: Actually it will be FASTER with what we're doing - we're not doing it through emulation.
Coyote Flux: OK, cause now it's with the Virtual Processor I suppose?
Bill McEwen: U-huh
Coyote Flux: Cause I have a copy of the SDK at home, but, taking a look at modern CPUs, taking a look at all the parallel processing units and the caching and memory management, I have the feeling that the Virtual Processor will not be running at the speed it SHOULD be...
Bill McEwen: Actually since it's not... the Virtual Processor, since it translates it into native code...
Coyote Flux: Yes...
Bill McEwen: ... and the overhead is to a minimum, there is, what, a two percent performance hit
Coyote Flux: Yes, I understand, but by using a lot of registers that should be emulated or mapped in memory before they can be used, I suppose...
Bill McEwen: Exactly translated on the fly.
Coyote Flux: It's translated on the fly - but where are the registers taken from if I may ask?
Bill McEwen: I'm sorry I didn't hear you.
Coyote Flux: Where are the registers taken from if I may ask? Are they taken from memory, or are they taken from hardware registers?
Bill McEwen: It depends on the implementation...
Coyote Flux: Yes
Bill McEwen: ... if there is hardware available, we will utilize the hardware directly...
Coyote Flux: Yes
Bill McEwen: ... and if we can catch it that way, otherwise if it's not available we will do it in software.
Coyote Flux: OK, I see - but that will slow down, I suppose?
Bill McEwen: Depending on the application - in a desktop environment in most cases you'll have the proper hardware to utilize it, but in a handheld device you might not have the hardware, so we'll have to do it in software.
Coyote Flux: OK, I see, thank you - finally I had a question concerning the SDK: Is it a big success?
Bill McEwen: Yes, actually the sales are ahead of schedule and as of this week Red Hat will begin selling it also.
Coyote Flux: OK, and how many approximately sold in the time it has been on market?
Bill McEwen: Well, we shipped fifteen thousand so far.
Coyote Flux: Fifteen thousand.
Bill McEwen: Yep.
Coyote Flux: OK, thank you very much! That's actually all I wanted to know!
Bill McEwen: Great!
Coyote Flux: OK, thank you...
Bill McEwen: Yeah, I look forward - in fact I was speaking to someone about you in Sacramento...
Coyote Flux: Oh!
Bill McEwen: .. that it looked like you might be the team that might have the best opportunity for us, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Coyote Flux: OK, thank you very much...
Bill McEwen: OK?
Coyote Flux: I will contact you then in the near future, supplying you with the information you might need about how we can port the Amiga OS to PPC, and...
Bill McEwen: OK.
Coyote Flux: ... yes, please keep up the good work then.
Bill McEwen: I thank you very much for your call.
Coyote Flux: OK, thank you as well - bye!

wish to see on the page in future. Among other things there is also the possibility to
vote for "Emulators for the Amiga". If you are interested in this, you should set your
vote there, cause there are only about 10% of votes for Amiga at the moment.

«Anybody who always wanted to check out if Mac OS indeed makes less problems than
Windows now can test this directly on the PC: Emulators Inc. offers the Macintosh emulator
Fusion PC for free download,
from now on. Emulators too over this sofware, which only runs under DOS (Window's DOS-Box does not
fit), last month. Next month they want to release the entire source-code, due to their own statements.
This shall become content of a tutorial on emulator programming.»
For full article, see titlelink (German).
As already reported here on 05-24-00, Microcode Solutions
gave Fusion PC license to Emulators, Inc. to have more free developer recources,

New AmiTradeCenter Beta Available
Once again it happend, a new beta version for the FTP-client AmiTradeCenter was released.
05.09.2000 public beta
- Added a "t" to one of the "direcory" strings which was missing.
[ExoBuZz]
- Fixed a bug when pressing the local "parent" button while connecting
which caused garbage in the local string gadget.
[ExoBuZz]
- After a transfer the transferred file, bytes, filelength and the cps are
now displayed in the ftplog.
[Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
- Double entries in the .batchtmp are now filtered, so the list won't
replicate itself several times after several crashes.
[Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
- Reselection of files when revisitting a directory is now done by
comparing the filenames with the list instead of just selecting the files
by numbers, which could have led to wrong selected entries, when a
directory was reloaded after an upload.
[Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
- The trader now won't try to reconnect to a server, when the servermanager
is quitted and therefore also all traders (depends on "auto reconnect" and
"closemethod of servermanager" settings).
- Loginwindow which is opened if neither the username or the password is
given didn't work. Fixed.

H&P increases personnel
In October of the past year, we already hired a new programmer, namely
Markus Poellmann. He mainly cares for StormC, and also works on
AmigaWriter. At the beginning of 2000, a new co-worker was found, Ute
Gottschalk, who takes care of accounting and datatyping. Stefan Robel has
just finished a practical period for his computer studies, in which he
created a new and portable version of StormRexx. At the beginning of
September, Alexander Bramm and Simon Neumann brought two new co-workers.
Their main concern is support, and managing of new projects.
Further co-workers wanted.
For proof-reading of our website texts, press releases and manuals we are
looking for an additional English native speaker. A good knowledge of
English grammer etc. is essential.

The German Computerzeitung issue 36 from 09-07-00 is carrying the subject of software patents:
They are titeling (small): "Software Inventions"
(big) "Politicians are supporting Linux with the fight against patents"
This all is to find big and not ot overlook pivotal on the front page citing Joerg Tauss, MdB (member of the
Bundestag) contra, and Dai Rees pro SWPAT.
Additional a big picture along with the subtitle "The [EPA] in Munich denys any private financial interest [...]"
At the left another contra SWPAT
comment (German) of
an editor, and at the lower right the Intel/Broadcom quarrel is suggested. So, about half of the front page
today only on the subject of patents.

clickBOOM: Nightlong
Nightlong has been enabled by Trecision, which means the betatests have passed positively. Now only the CDs, and
packings are to be produced, and then the game will be available soon.
Nightlong is a graphically costly point-and-click game which at first was published by Team 17 for the PC,
and became a big success. The background of the game is a conspiracy anno 2099 which the player has
to clear up.

Test Report of Matrox G405 at hartware.net
hartware.net has examined the new graphics board Matrox Millennium G450. This one was not made for the
home user but for business user and customers of companies. Nevertheless we have had a look at the
Millenium G450 with regard to the use for games. Maybe this card is a reasonably alternative for the
private user? See titlelink for full article (German).
At amiga.org we have found a link to a review of AnandTech as well:
Matrox Millennium G450. And this one is
in English. -)

SView C++ Image Loaders
SView class-library was ported to Linux x86 (GCC) successfully. Originally it based on Watcom/C++ 11 for
Win32 (Win9x, WinNT, Win2000) and now can be compiled from the same source-tree for each Linux-platform,
as well. This also would make possible porting back to ADE 68k, PPC or MorphOS, as well as porting
to Linux 68k or AInc's VP.
In future it will be possible to give licences for binary or sourcecodes. Do not hesitate to inquire
in time.

Mathias "AmiDog" Roslund has opened an AMP2-site where you can find the current updates for the
Amiga-Movie-Player AMP 2. Version V2pre1 of the 5th of September 2000 is the most recent one. But this version probably
has still a couple of bugs and therefore should be tested with caution, as the author says. Please, read
information on the AMP2-site carefully.

Elbox Statement on MEDIATOR PCI Rumours
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 06:04:39 +0200
From: ELBOX press@elbox.com
Organization: ELBOX COMPUTER
Subject: Elbox dispels rumours on MEDIATOR PCI
ELBOX COMPUTER
04 September 2000
The breakthrough product developed by us: the MEDIATOR PCI,
has caused many changes in the Amiga world. Changes for better,
one has to admit.
People who cannot approach this excellent product with honour
and respect due to its design, spread rumours, which give false
information to Amiga users.
In order to make this situation clear and show our respect to
all those dedicated users of Amiga computers, we feel obliged
to clarify the information.
Below you find our answers to such rumours:
1. *** MEDIATOR PCI 1200 can only have access to 8 MB address
area, so the latest Voodoo III cards with 32-64 MB address
area could not be used. ***
Answer: Not true.
Elbox MEDIATOR PCI 1200 enables access to the entire 4 GB
PCI Memory Space and to all the required I/O space.
Execution of access to the full memory area in PCI (4 GB)
through the 8 MB Amiga memory window is done with MEDIATOR's
hardware on the basis of the MEDIATOR offset registers.
2. *** Designing MEDIATOR PCI 1200 in such a way that
it works with all the existing turbo cards for Amiga 1200
(i.e. within the 8 MB address window) will result
in modern graphics cards major crippling in the transfer rate
between the processor and graphics card. ***
Answer: Not true.
Data exchange between the processor and graphics cards
within the 8 MB address window does not affect transfer rate.
E.g.: Writing to a graphics card of 32 MB of data within
the 8 MB address window means execution of just 3 additional
writing operations for over 8,000,000 writing operations.
In practice, transmission over 8 MB of data to a PCI graphics
card is very rare, as majority of modern PCI graphics cards
memory is allocated for storing textures.
Current data exchange is thus executed within the one 8 MB
window, anyway.
3. *** PCI graphics cards themselves are now increasingly hard
to obtain and will be obsolete in a few months time. ***
Answer: Not true.
Many new graphic chipsets are and will be produced in both
the PCI standard and the AGP Intel standard.
This is clear, as PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)
is an industry standard independent of the processor platform
by definition. Graphic cards in this standard may work
equally well in PC, Mac or Amiga computers.
4. *** Elbox will produce a PCI/AGP busboard to be directly
connected to the expansion connector on the BlizzardPPC.
It will come equipped with 3xPCI slots, 1xAGP slot and a
socket for SDRAM. ***
Answer:
Who came up with this one?
Preparing such a busboard, connected directly to the
BlizzardPPC card in the place of the BVisionPPC card,
would require redesigning the BlizzardPPC card.
Replacing one PCI slot with an AGP slot in the busboard
for A1200 does not result in any major benefits.
Instead of SDRAM memory in the busboard, we will offer
a far better solution, to which MEDIATOR PCI 1200 is
totally ready, of which we will write more in one of our
coming announcements.
Best regards,
Mariusz Wloczysiak

AmiPak - New default Archive-Format for the AmigaOE
Patrick Roberts and Wayne Martin are working on a new filecompression standard for the new AmigaOE.
The new program will be called AmiPak (file-extension: .amp) and it will have many advantages compared to the ones used now.
This format will be availabel for other platforms, too. Additional there will be a GUI which can also handle formats like bzip,
gzip, tar, zip and lha. A betaversion will be available next month.
Please follow the titlelink for further information.

Andreas Kleinert: Completion to the MorphOS-Statement
Some authentic questions that reached me by email as reaction on the MorphOS-Statement (i summarized the answers):
- Q: Read today that you do not want to write datatypes for the MorphOS. It is a pity.
- A: Maybe I produce something different for MorphOS.
- Q: I hope that you do not have the intention to turn away from the amiga.
- A: I am still using my Amiga. At the moment.
- Q: You wrote that there are nearly no registrations for your datatypes at the moment.
I know why. [...] If there would be an easy way to register I really would like to do it and use the DT.
But for doing this I will never apply for a credit card or waste my time by clicking through english pages. [...]
The easiest way would be a money transfer.
- A: Money transfer is available since, I do not know when. It is explained in the documentation.
And about generall things
- Q: All together I want to praise you for your products and I hope you are developing them.
Versions for Windows (under development), Linux, maybe Amie (if it will be released some day) and maybe as a
PPC-plugin for AWeb & Co would be greate.
- A: I will not port anyone of my programs to Amie in the near future. Windows is in a early alpha-stage and
Linux is interesting too.
There won't be PPC-plugins [refer to akMPEG] but it is possible to integrate them in the actual version.

Probably no akDatatypes for MorphOS
Contrairy to the original plans there will probably be no akDatatypes especially for MorphOS. The reasons are:
- Andreas Kleinert has not enough time, because he is busy with other - non free time- projects.
- The akDatatypes support many platforms at the moment but the SAS/C-Source-Tree needs some changes to become crosscompatible
with gcc (or vbcc), because SAS/C is not available for MorphOS and also isn't the best choice for the PPClib any longer.
- To involve other programmers in the developement, e.g. by CVS and the opening of the sources to a closed group of people,
could help but surely the interest is way too low.
- The Warp-datatypes were already ported to MorphOS and are free.
- At the moment there are no more registration-request for the akDatatypes. This is another clear sign.
Andreas Kleinert suggests the MorphOS-Users to use the Warp-datatypes instead.
It is possible that programs of Andreas Kleinert are ported to MorphOS.
There will be annoucements when the product is available.

Additional Information for Predator
Eyetech has released additional
information about the PCI-Board "Predator".
The Board will be available for A1200 (in Tower-case) and A4000 Desktops. If request is high enough a version for
A4000T will be made, too. The Board is connected directly to the expansionport of BlizzardPPC and CyberstormPPC boards
so the whole 4GB-adress-space of the PPC can be used. It offers 3 PCI and one AGP slot. The slots are clocked
with 66MHz and 32bit-wide bus. In addition there is a SD-RAM-socket on-board (PC100DIMM) for up to 256MB of RAM.
This memory is available for the PPC-processor and graphics boards in the AGP slot. The bus is completely PCI 2.1 compatible
and offers busmastering and DMA. The A4000-version of the board also has an A4000 video slot.
A 3D-driver for Voodoo 5 which is supposed to be shipped with the board is under developement.
The release date is set to late September/early October.
