ADFBlitzer Verion 2.0 Available
Since yesterday, version 2.0 of the popular ADF program ADFBlitzer is available from
my homepage. Magnus Lundin, author of the first versions (up to v1.2) gave me the source
code and permission to continue development.
Currently there are mainly visual improvements. However, since almost everything has been
turned upside down internally, it might not run as expected. Therefore I ask for your
e-mail feedback if it works - or doesn't work.
Sorry but currently the only way to download the program is by the direct link (titlelink),
because my homepage has not yet been updated.

AmigaSoc Activ Again
«After several months worth of unscheduled silence, AmigaSoc is back! In
fact, we were never really gone! The primary reason for our apparant
absence was lack of time.
The company two of AmigaSoc's founder members are shareholders of has
grown from a staff complement of five to nearly fifty and has recently
received first round investment. Squeeze in the purchase and
renovation of houses, and a bit of marriage and you might begin to see
where we've been! Our user group mailing list (and a couple of others)
had to be shut down at very short notice owing to security issues beyond
our control.
Rest assured that we haven't given up and we'll still support the Amiga
community the best we can in the future.
The plethora of unanswered E-Mails and lack of updates to the website
are now being dealt with (including our popular "Lookalikes" section),
and we will aim to be back on form as soon as possible. We'd like to
thank those who have demonstrated understanding and patience
throughout this time and we look forward to once again making our
contribution.»

Amiga NG - Microsoft is Planning this for Years.
Microsoft, Redmond, USA.
Microsoft is developing a technic called IL (Intermediate Language) for years. The underlying concepts
are amazing similar to the AmigaNG! There is no JustInTime compiler but the IL-modules were preloaded
and compiled into native code at runtime (with corresponding hardwareoptimizations). All is integrated
in Windows and will be released with VisualStudio 7.0 and C# in 2001 or 2002. This is another way for
MS to other hardwaresystems like mobile phones or handhelds. Even games will be available for different
hardwaresystems by using IL and a core-kernel.
Annotation of the author: AmigaNG still have chances: it is smaller, does not depend on a special OS,
faster available for different devices and not a product by Microsoft.
Further informations are available at the titlelink.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
There's a stong dichotomy in this issue's stories. There are a number
of items showing a clear move forward on Amiga's part into the future
with its new generation of software and hardware standards. There's an
equally clear picture presented by other stories of the Classic Amiga
market shutting down.
We don't think there will be any problem with those of us dependent
on classic machines surviving until there are new computers with new
software to move to, so there's no reason for panic. There is,
however, every reason to see the transition as real and happening now.
It's about time, but we can't deny it's always a bit frightening to
move into a new existence and see the door to the old closing behind
you. Keep in mind it's an entire community making the transition, and
we're all in it together. You will also find in this issue many
stories showing just how strong our Amiga community remains.

Brad,
I was glad to see that some users out there still have the A2000 and
A3000! Mine are not in operating mode at present. No fault of mine. An
expensive tradesman repair gone sour. But perhaps there is hope. I
loved those Amigas! I thought these old favorites would be left in the
dust of the 1200, and the new products I saw displayed by Bill McEwen
on The Screensavers TV show on ZDTV! Quite an impressive introduction
to the new Amiga.
Lee
~~~~~~
Lee,
Hang on, things are just starting to roll out for the new Amiga. As
noted in my comments above, you can really see the transition from the
old Amiga to the new taking place right now. At the moment, though,
the A2000s, A3000s and beyond are still working very well for many
Amigans, including me.

Thank you for the continued newsletters. I'm still an active Amiga
user and any Amiga news is greatly appreciated. My "other computer" is
a MacIntosh and news/tips having to do with Mac/Amiga interaction
would be of interest. (File exchanges via Consultron's CrossMAC
program allows some things on a Mac and Amiga to work very well with
each other).
Has anyone used Castlewood's Orb drive on an Amiga? I hadn't found
any information regarding that yet and was wondering if their
headerless approach presents special problems for developing an Amiga
driver, or what special considerations might exist for implementing an
Orb drive on a SCSI-equipped Amiga (like my A3000UXD).
My experience with the Orb drive on a MacIntosh system is positive so
far. It seems to work equally well on the Mac's standard SCSI or from
an Ultra SCSI card. The price of the drive and the media are certainly
reasonable enough to make it an attractive option for Amiga owners if
it could be made to work on one.
Thanks for any information you may have.

Dave,
As I do with any topic I'm not fully familiar with, let me throw this
one out to the readership. Can anyone help Dave?

I have an A4000/060 with an internal CD-ROM drive and an A500/030 and an
external ZIP drive (now, also a 2Gb Jaz drive).
I just copied the OS 3.5 data onto a ZIP disk, moved the drive over
to my A500 and installed from there.
Gary
~~~~~~
Gary,
Thanks for the suggestion. We hope this information can help some of
those at least who've asked us about installing OS 3.5 on systems
without CD/ROM drives. It'll require finding someone else with an
Amiga, a CD/ROM drive and a Zip or similar, but looks like it can be
done fairly easily.

Snoqualmie, WA. Aug 30, 2000
Amiga Inc. and Hyperion Entertainment are pleased to announce a
long-term alliance to bring Hyperion's impressive list of award
winning games to the Amiverse.
Hyperion's games are a testament to the high standard set by the
Amiga community. Much like the New Amiga, Hyperion has raised the bar
to a higher level. We are proud to include Hyperion in our future. We
are equally pleased to see such a steady stream of notable developers
validating our platform.'' Said Randy Hughes, Vice President Sales and
Strategic Alliances at Amiga Inc.
The initial list of titles being developed for the Amiverse include:
Heretic II: Already released for Classic Amiga PPC, Heretic II is a
gothic-style first-person shooter.
Sin: A super realistic ego shooter in a not-too-distant future with
an intriguing plot to solve and many levels to "clean-up". Sin is due
in Q3 2000.
Shogo: Fight with your Mobile Armor Division Mech through futuristic
cities and natural sites. Face a civil war in Mech mode or Soldier
mode in this award winning ego shooter, written with the famous
LithTech 3D Engine by Monolith. Shogo is also slated for Q3 2000.
Freespace: Development has already begun and is to be completed in Q4
2000. Freespace offers many space flights combats and mission for this
space opera among stars and nebulas. A great simulation for a great
story of space war.
Alien Nations: Development is just under way. In the style of Age of
Empires II, Alien Nations will allow you to lead your people to
survive attacks from your enemies. Live long and prosper in the levels
of this great Real Time Strategy game.
Soldier of Fortune: The highly acclaimed ego shooter of the year will
come to the Amiga. Designed with the help of SEAL people, SOF is one
of the most realistic ego shooter. Experience fights against
terrorists and criminals, train to be better and always remember to
shoot first.
"Hyperion will announce new games in the near future, as we negotiate
deals with new licensors including some of the industry's biggest
names. We want to bring the Amiga the hottest and most recent games,
as it was the case in the great Amiga gaming times. With the arrival
of new hardware such as faster graphics cards, the Amiga will enjoy a
new level of performance allowing the Amiga to keep up with bigger and
better games. Keep your Amiga updated, stay tuned and roll on the
Amiga One!" said Ben Yoris, PR Manager of Hyperion.
About Hyperion
Hyperion Entertainment is a privately held Belgian company founded in
April of 1999. Hyperion aims to bring top-class entertainment software
to leading alternative platforms including Amiga. Hyperion
Entertainment has license agreements with many of the top names in the
industry including Interplay, Activision and Monolith with more deals

C O N C E R N O V E R P E T R O B U S I N E S S
A recent posting on the Amiga-news.de website created a mini-uproar
in the Amiga community. The posting stated that Petro Tyschtschenko,
long time bastion of the Amiga community and head of Amiga
Deutschland, had founded a new company in partnership with a Frank
Basta. The company, called Power Service BmbH, appears to be a
supplier of tempory workers for software firms.
A response from Petro posted on the Czech Amiga News site indicated
no intent to leave the Amiga community or Amiga itself behind:
"Sorry but I have no plans to quit. I have only invested 50 % in Power
Service, which is a company I believe in. It is no Computer Company and no
competition... Power Service is a Job agency for IT Specialists. I will
continue with my beloved AMIGA. Best regards and thanks for your
mail...Petro"
Several web sites carried the following quote from Amiga Inc's CEO
Bill McEwen at the time the original announcement was made:
"I would be shocked and personally hurt to find out that Petro has
not been making Amiga his first priority, and that he has been using
his Amiga paid trips to India for his own personal gain. We pay him a
wonderful salary, we pay for his Mercedes, his cell phone, and his
beautiful offices. He has never spoken to me about any issues or
problems, and if he has truly been using our money and time to promote
his own company I will be extremely disappointed. I hope that
Amiga-News is wrong in their findings."

Amiga Fans everywhere,
Amigan-St. Louis is proud to announce that the next Gateway Computer
Show... Amiga2001, will be held on March 30, 31 and April 1, 2001.
This exciting event, Amiga2001 - An Amiga Odyssey, will be our best

we had to move our venue to a new location.
The good news is that this place has lots to offer. The show will be
hosted at the Sheraton Westport Plaza. This Sheraton has the same old
world charm that the Henry VIII did, but offers much more. It has
parking for over 3,000 cars. It's location, at West Port Plaza is
really terrific, as that puts it in the middle of entertainment,
restaurants, pubs, shopping, eateries, movie theaters, live theater, a
jazz club and much more. Under cover parking is available too.
We'll be posting something on our web site by the end of September,
so keep an eye out. In the mean time, get your vacations lined up for
March 30 - April 1. Perhaps you'd like to come early or stay longer
and arrange a little fun in St. Louis. This is an exciting town, and
your family would be certain to enjoy it if you bring them.

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 Robl
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.
06 September 2000
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 grammar etc. is essential. Surprisingly we already got
about 18 applications, but we only need one or two people to help on
this. Thank you very much.

Elbox Computer
Krakow, 21 Sep 2000
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
We, Elbox Computer company, the company involved with microcomputer
technology for over 18 years, the company with the principles of
reliability, honesty and care for our clients, feel obliged to release
this announcement to protect interests of Amiga users.
For several weeks now, the Eyetech company has been involved in a
propaganda action against our breakthrough product for Amiga
computers: the MEDIATOR PCI. Eyetech publish and disseminate untrue
views on MEDIATOR, the exceptional busboard, and compare this high-end
product with their announced device.
It is not our way to comment on others' activities, yet under the
current circumstances we feel obliged to explain this situation and
Eyetech's accusations to Amiga users and to comment on the idea
indicated by Eyetech (or any other company behind the Eyetech
nametag).
BLIZZARD PPC LOCAL BUS LIMITATIONS:
Eyetech announced releasing a product they called competitive to our
MEDIATOR high-end card. Technical specification of this product has
been announced in such a way that Amiga users would have to misread
it.
The idea of connecting a PCI/AGP busboard directly to Blizzard PPC
cards gives worse performance than MEDIATOR because:
1. This solution is only for owners of Blizzard PPC accelerators.
You have to stick with your Blizzard PPC 603e for ever.
No change, no open structure, no versatility.
2. Practical average data transfers over the busboard connected
directly to Blizzard PPC cards will not be higher than achieved
with MEDIATOR - due to technical limitations of Blizzard PPC
cards.
3. Connection of a busboard to the connector used for inserting
a BVision card renders further use of the BVision card
impossible.
MEDIATOR OPEN SOLUTION:
The MEDIATOR high-end busboard is the best solution for Amiga
computers to offer high-speed support for PCI cards.
The MEDIATOR busboard is a well-thought product, with long-standing
history of design development and a vision for its lasting evolution,
to give Amiga users power they have not had so far.
Our basic idea is that MEDIATOR is an OPEN solution, capable of
hosting ANY turbo cards from the Amiga market. MEDIATOR is not reduced
to a Blizzard PPC-bound concept. MEDIATOR gives you the possibility to
have any turbo card you want.
MEDIATOR has been designed specifically for all the available cards
and each and every turbo card works with MEDIATOR at the maximum speed
available for the given card.
MEDIATOR PCI may offer transfer of data from/to any Amiga turbo card
at the maximum speed of up to 132 MB/s. The only practical limitation
lies in the design of the specific turbo card.
MEDIATOR is expandable, even more: it is ready for any new Amiga
cards that will be available in the future - this gives you freedom
that you have never had before.
You can use MEDIATOR with any turbo cards: Blizzard 1230, Blizzard
1240, Blizzard 1260, Blizzard PPC, Apollo 1230, Apollo 1240, Apollo
1260, Elbox 1230, MTec 1230, etc. and with any future concepts like
Amijoe and more...
MEDIATOR ADVANTAGES:
MEDIATOR has been designed optimised for any turbo card type, so that
the maximum possible performance is obtained in the given hardware
configuration.
MEDIATOR automatically recognises the turbo card type and executes
the best procedures to guarantee the highest performance possible in
this configuration. This is an unrivalled feature.
This approach is much more time- and effort- and money-consuming than
the concept of supporting Blizzard PPC cards only.
Besides, the idea of connecting a PCI/AGP busboard directly to
Blizzard PPC cards does not give you, the Amiga user, any additional
speed gains when compared with MEDIATOR - you will only feel that
Eyetech's design is simpler and possibly definitely cheaper.
We feel very sorry that Eyetech in this context is apparently
discrediting MEDIATOR's performance while being well aware of their
fallacy.
ABOUT ELBOX:
We have been developing and producing electronic equipment since 1982.

11.9.2000 Innovative announces future plans
Innovative, known as the developers of popular AMIGA®-titles such as
fxPAINT, fxSCAN, VHI Studio and Ultraconv today announced the future
plans of the enterprise.
fxSCAN 3.0 with intelligent OCR-engine (OCR = Optical Character
Recognition) fxSCAN will soon be available in version 3.0. It will
be a major update including the following new features:
· intelligent OCR-engine
· Support for free BetaScan-drivers
· comfortable Copymachine-function
· reworked user-interface
· JPEG-files are now loaded via PPC
· many small improvements
The price for V3.0 will be at 69.- DM/35 EURO/35 US$. An update from
V1.0/V2.0 will cost 59.- DM/30 EUROR/30 US$. We won't offer updates
from V1.0 SE (ScanQuix-special edition). fxSCAN 3.0 can already be
ordered from Innovative's online-shop (http://www.innovative-web.de/)
and will be delivered as soon as the final product becomes available.
A completly new fxSCAN-website will be online at the time the new
version is introduced.
The present
Innovative regards the AMIGA®-market as too small to further exist
only from revenues of this market. The enterprise doesn't see any
tendencies towards improvement, as key-enterprises have either left
the AMIGA®-market or went out of bussiness and important hardware-
products are only available as long as they are still in stock.
Faster, more up-to-date or completly new hardware doesn't seem to be
within reach and major improvements of the current Classic-AmigaOS®
are not to be expected in near future. The AMIGA® SDK is a highlight,
but it is not a garantor for the future existance and maintenance of
the new AMIGA®-Operating-/Computersystems.
The current situation forces Innovative to look for new markets and
to no more _exclusivly_ work in the AMIGA®-market.
The future
After the availability of fxSCAN V3.0, Innovative will intensify work
on a new technology (details are not available due to reasons of
protecting Innovative's intellectual property). Programs developed
with the aid of this new technology (Codename "InNT") will be more
comfortable to use and will have an even more spectacular optic.
Furthermore programs developed with it will be highly portable to
other platforms and CPUs. Indeed porting an application is expected to
take only a few days, cutting down both the amount of development-time
and -money that has to be spent for that task. As soon as the first
version of this new technology is finished we will start porting
already known Innovative-titles to the new technology and a variety of
different platforms. Besides the AMIGA®-market, the Windows®- and
Linux®-market will be target of the developments of the company. It's
also planned to hand out licences for this new technology, but this
still has to be decided. The result of the decision will be announced
in a later, seperate press release.
The AMIGA®-conversions
We regret to say that our new technology will most probably not be
able to run on 68K-PPC-Dual-CPU-Systems as it is currently used in
some AMIGA®s, as a seperation of the GUI and the program will be hard
to perform and a 68060 definatly seems to be too slow for fluid and
comfortable work. Once the development of the first version of the new
technology is finished, Innovative will evaluate the possibilities of
a portation to MorphOS and APUS Linux and is currently planning a
portation to these platforms. The Tao® Elate®-based new AmigaOS® will
be supported by Innovative as far as it is available. This way,
AMIGA®-users will be able to continue enjoying the high-quality and
highly innovative software by Innovative.
The current products
It can't be denied that future plans are in conflict with the further
development of the current product-line for AMIGA®-computers.
Nevertheless the currently existing products will be developed further
and updates will be available at a regular basis though not as often
as in the past. As soon as the versions developed with the new
technology are available, users get an update-offer. So everybody
buying an Innovative-product today, buys a product that will be
developed further in future and that he will be able to use even after
switching to other OSes like Windows®, Linux® or "Amiga® NG" as well.
The webservices
We will stop offering webservices, as the amount of time and money
spent can in no way be justified with the resulting revenues. Existing
contracts will continue to exist for a yet undefined time whereas we
won't do any new contracts. Of course we will continue to offer
special solutions for companies in the future and we'll also keep
updating the "Amiga Link Directory".
Frequently asked questions

Epic Marketing Germany waves goodbye after 4 years on the Amiga
market, our company is set to close on septembre 30. But this is no
reason for despair. After October 1 there will not be one but two new
Epic companies in the market.
Epic Interacticve Entertainment software will primarily focus on the
development and distribution of top notch games for the Apple
Macintosh market. The Amiga One and the Atari Milan computers will be
supported once they see the light of day.
Epic Multimedia will enter the market in October too. You will find
information on their products, which will include games, infotainment
and edutainment for various computer systems (Apple Mac, Windows,
Linux, Amiga One, Milan) on our webpage from mid octobre.
For the Classic Amiga Epic Interactive will develop and distribute
the titles "Simon The Sorcerer 2", "Earth 2140" and Dafel: Bloodline".
Whether they continue to support the platform in the future is
heavily dependant on the success of these titles. "Earth 2140" can now
be preordered for DM 89.95 until October 15th. After that it will cost
99.95.

3 September, 2000
From The Eyetech Group Ltd
The Predator: 3xPCI + 1xAGP + SDRAM expansion with direct PPC
processor interface for the A4000 desktop and towered A1200
As part of our ongoing discussions with top end games developers, one
of their major concerns is how to get sufficiently fast graphics cards
on the installed base of A1200 / A4000 PPC machines. The Permedia 2
chipset, although still the best graphics solution currently available
on the A1200, is now quite dated in its 3-D performance. The Elbox
Mediator is a partial solution, but is severely hampered because all
A1200 accelerators - including the Blizzard PPC - only bring 24
address lines out to the edge connector meaning that all data transfer
has to be carried out within the 8MB Zorro2 address window. For modern
graphics cards this will inevitably involve 4 fold or greater
multiplexing thus crippling the transfer rate between processor and
graphics card. In addition, PCI graphics cards themselves are now
increasingly hard to obtain and will be obsolete in a few months time.
So what are we doing about it?
The Predator expansion bus will come in separate versions for the
A1200 and A4000 desktop (an A4000 tower version will be produced later
if there is sufficient demand). Each will come equipped with 3xPCI
slots and 1xAGP (graphics card) slot (with an additional regular A4000
video slot in the A4000 version). In addition there will be a single
SDRAM (PC100 DIMM) socket for up to 256MB. As the bus is fully PCI 2.1
compliant, including bus mastering and DMA facilities, this SDRAM can
be used directly by either or both of the PPC CPU and the AGP graphics
card.
By directly connecting to the expansion connector on the BlizzardPPC
and CyberstormPPC the expansion bus has the full 4GB of address space
of the PPC CPU without the penalties of any existing Zorro 2 conflicts
or address space multiplexing. The bus itself runs at 66MHz x 4 bytes
wide for unprecedented transfer rates (for a classic Amiga) both
between cards (using bus mastering and DMA) and - more importantly -
between the AGP connector and the PPC CPU.
The board has been designed as a full multilayer PCB with 2 ground
planes and signal path length equalisation. Work on porting the
Voodoo-5 3D drivers (to be shipped with the board) is already
underway. And the best news of all is that this state-of-the-art
expansion bus will be available ub late September / early October at a
target price of just £169.95 including VAT.

Amiga Survivor Update
There appeared technical problems for the Amiga Survivor Magazine:
Amiga Survivor update
Unfortunately the delicate machinery which hosts Amiga Survivor
was severely damaged in transit when it was on its way to our layout
artist. The result of that is an unavoidable delay while the A4000
that hosts Amiga Survivor is patched up. We are trying to arrange the
layout files to be sent to our experienced graphic designer as soon
as possible, and two issues are ready to go out when the machinery is
repaired. They are Issue 9 (scheduled for August 10th) and Issue 10
(October 10th issue). We are also working on a Christmas special at
the moment.
I am happy to have Amiga Survivor on the books and I'm looking
forward to producing many fine issues. As soon as is humanly possible
we will begin to release issues of AS.
To help the Amiga games scene I am pleased to announce Amiga
Survivor will be carrying a coverdisk every issue with a free copy of
a recent hit, all for the same price of £3.99 UK, £4.99 Europe
or £5.99 Rest of World. We hope to help the existing Amiga games
market by working with current publishers and offering them a good income
when sales through the conventional routes may have dried up. As a
former Amiga games publisher CS&E will offer Max Rally with Issue 9
and the previously unseen Cosmo's Fun Class with Issue 10.
Single issues of Amiga Survivor will be available from all good
Amiga dealers, while subscriptions are exclusively available directly
from CS&E.
Kind Regards,
David Connolly
Publisher, Amiga Survivor.

The AccM Asks for Your Help
Manfred Rauer wrote:
The AccM is not only a simple computer club where technic enthusiastic computer
freaks meet to talk about games. We rather make an effort to develope useful
software (and games) and to put them to everybody's disposal.
The club has only one small big problem. They don't have enough capacities in
the areas of programming, music, graphics & animations, and 3D modeling.
Therefor we're searching all the time for capable people, who want to support
us. But we also want to offer something for this. Everybody who has an idea
regarding a project may register it here. It will be presented here, and others
not involved have the possibility to take part in it.
It shall be a kind of a meetin-place where as many as possible shall take part.
It's free and nobody is forced to aquire a membership.
It would be sad and also a big loss for us if nobody could be won over this cool
idea. This would mean "Say good bye" to this plan, and again a good thing and a
main part of our base idea of which our club is the result would disappear from
the scene.
Everbody with questions may write to the POI (Manfred Rauer)
and ask for more informations.

Now this site has got a complete new layout and is accessible via a new domain.
It's: http://amiga.2xs.net/.
Because of the move there may be some empty links caused by the server.
Because of this Sylvio asks to
inform him about such links.
To suppress advertising windows Sylvio suggests switching off Javascript.

Bubble Heroes was Finished
Bubble Heroes, a game distributed by Crystal
Interactive Software was finished and is available at the stores.
What is this game all about?
Once upon a time... The magical world of Radya is in serious danger. The
peacefullness and the joy of this realm is threatened by a dark, evil knight
named Gonzul and his bunglers, arrived on floating islands from unknown parts
of the universe. Gonzul's aim is to conquer and enslave the world: to gain
this objective he abducted the four Nimphs, sources of power and pillars of
peace and richness, bleeding their energy and life. The Queen of these Nimphs,
Adora, during her kidnapping had spread by her mental powers a message to
all the heroes of Radya: to rescue the Nimphs.
All together, the four Nimphs can unite their forces in order to activate a
magical weapon, which is the only hope to destroy Gonzul and his floating
realm saving the entire world from his evil shadow. Will you be able to follow
the heroes in this desperate mission?

The End of ImageEngineer
Czech Amiga News has asked Marko Seppaenen, developer of ImageEngineer, a gfx-package
for Amiga, why he leaves the Amiga Community. In his
answer Marko said
it would be easy to declare software piracy and bad sells as reasons for this
step or he could tell a long story about the reasons, but he will not, because
he do not want to offend the Amiga Community.

Official Annoucement from Elbox
Contents of this pressrelease is a technical presentation (pro Mediator) vs. the
Predator PCI busboard from Eyetech.
Because none of both PCI busboards is available at present we can not figure out
the truth of this comparison.
Experience reports of users are welcome.
Elbox Computer
Krakow, 21 Sep 2000
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
We, Elbox Computer company, the company involved with microcomputer
technology for over 18 years, the company with the principles of
reliability, honesty and care for our clients, feel obliged to
release this announcement to protect interests of Amiga users.
For several weeks now, the Eyetech company has been involved in
a propaganda action against our breakthrough product for Amiga
computers: the MEDIATOR PCI. Eyetech publish and disseminate untrue
views on MEDIATOR, the exceptional busboard, and compare this
high-end product with their announced device.
It is not our way to comment on others' activities, yet under
the current circumstances we feel obliged to explain this situation
and Eyetech's accusations to Amiga users and to comment on the idea
indicated by Eyetech (or any other company behind the Eyetech
nametag).
BLIZZARD PPC LOCAL BUS LIMITATIONS:
Eyetech announced releasing a product they called competitive to
our MEDIATOR high-end card.
Technical specification of this product has been announced in
such a way that Amiga users would have to misread it.
The idea of connecting a PCI/AGP busboard directly to Blizzard PPC
cards gives worse performance than MEDIATOR because:
- This solution is only for owners of Blizzard PPC accelerators.
You have to stick with your Blizzard PPC 603e for ever.
No change, no open structure, no versatility.
- Practical average data transfers over the busboard connected
directly to Blizzard PPC cards will not be higher than achieved
with MEDIATOR - due to technical limitations of Blizzard PPC
cards.
- Connection of a busboard to the connector used for inserting
a BVision card renders further use of the BVision card
impossible.
MEDIATOR OPEN SOLUTION:
The MEDIATOR high-end busboard is the best solution for Amiga
computers to offer high-speed support for PCI cards.
The MEDIATOR busboard is a well-thought product, with long-standing
history of design development and a vision for its lasting
evolution, to give Amiga users power they have not had so far.
Our basic idea is that MEDIATOR is an OPEN solution, capable of
hosting ANY turbo cards from the Amiga market. MEDIATOR is not
reduced to a Blizzard PPC-bound concept. MEDIATOR gives you the
possibility to have any turbo card you want.
MEDIATOR has been designed specifically for all the available
cards and each and every turbo card works with MEDIATOR at the
maximum speed available for the given card.
MEDIATOR PCI may offer transfer of data from/to any Amiga turbo
card at the maximum speed of up to 132 MB/s. The only practical
limitation lies in the design of the specific turbo card.
MEDIATOR is expandable, even more: it is ready for any new Amiga
cards that will be available in the future - this gives you
freedom that you have never had before.
You can use MEDIATOR with any turbo cards: Blizzard 1230,
Blizzard 1240, Blizzard 1260, Blizzard PPC, Apollo 1230, Apollo 1240,
Apollo 1260, Elbox 1230, MTec 1230, etc. and with any future
concepts like Amijoe and more...
MEDIATOR ADVANTAGES:
MEDIATOR has been designed optimised for any turbo card type,
so that the maximum possible performance is obtained in the given
hardware configuration.
MEDIATOR automatically recognises the turbo card type and executes
the best procedures to guarantee the highest performance possible
in this configuration. This is an unrivalled feature.
This approach is much more time- and effort- and money-consuming
than the concept of supporting Blizzard PPC cards only.
Besides, the idea of connecting a PCI/AGP busboard directly to
Blizzard PPC cards does not give you, the Amiga user, any additional
speed gains when compared with MEDIATOR - you will only feel that
Eyetech's design is simpler and possibly definitely cheaper.
We feel very sorry that Eyetech in this context is apparently
discrediting MEDIATOR's performance while being well aware of their
fallacy.
ABOUT ELBOX:
We have been developing and producing electronic equipment since 1982.
Our superb Amiga designs include:
- E-BOX tower systems and ZORRO busboards for A1200 and A4000
(also known as Power Tower in the UK and Winner Tower in Germany);
- Elbox FastATA controllers for A1200 and A4000 (known also under the
name of Power Flyer in the UK and Winner HighSpeed Controller in
Germany);
- Memory expansion cards for all types of Amiga computers and many
other minor accessories, e.g. PC Mouse interfaces (Mroocheck,
Punchinello), others.
Elbox is also the owner of Twin Spark Soft, a company producing
software for Amiga computers (in the Polish language only).
Besides Amiga devices, we design and produce industrial controllers
(e.g. for injection moulding machines) and many other high-end
devices in the fields of radio- and telecommunications (e.g. call
systems, pagers, speech coding devices).
NEW:
Please look for our further releases about ELBOX products for Amiga
computers to be on sale by the end of this year:
- MEDIATOR evolution line (A4000 and A3000);
- The TOTALLY NEW breakthrough turbo cards for Amiga computers
(A4000, A3000, A1200).

Future of Warpgate in the Air
As the webmaster Andreas Wendorf told during an IRC interview yesterday, the future
of Warpgate is in the air. He found fault both, the programmers and software companies
acceptance, who only support the Warp9 team with news in an inadequate way.
The English news site all around the subjects of WarpOS and Warp3D, which was put online
in March 1999 was already stopped once, and then was restarted again in February
2000 after numerous user requests.
