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.

- corrupted pictures resulted in a crash due to a bug in the program
- transparency now supported, IBrowse displays the correct pictures
- the first frame should be loaded and displayed for most GIF anims
- Only the global color palette is loaded right now, the local color palette is skipped
- the OM_UPDATE method might return an undefined value occassionally, but this doesn't cause
troubles until now

Web Survey: Windows Way Ahead
As an exception we are citing the entire article from Heise.
«With the
survey on the best operating system
at MSNBX things turned in a wonderfull way. On Friday morning Linux still was ahead with 28% of 18,500 votes,
as reported, and now the percentage of votes for the
free operating system decreased to 3% of 384,848 votes, untill Sunday evening.
This survey took a curious way: Linux had its grand level at about 03:00 AM with 39%, of the up to that time given 29,100 votes
a number of 11,350 belonged to the free operating system. Within the following 20 hours 126,500 votes more were given, of
which only 800 voted for Linux (0.6%), stunningly. By that the percentage of votes for Windows 95/98/ME, as well as for
NT/2000 was dubbled. Now some are getting suspicious
that there must have happened some manipulation. Don't trust any statistics you didn't faked yourself....
»
Supplement 09-19-2000: Andreas Mixich via eMail
Microsoft accepted that the survey was manipulated and in the meantime it was removed leaving the following note:
EDITOR'S NOTE:
Sept. 18 MSNBC has removed the Live Vote originally published with this story due
to what appeared to be electronic ballot stuffing. The Live Vote, which asked readers
which personal computer operating system they think is the best, received a large
influx of votes in the past few days, skewing the results. MSNBC has removed the Vote
in light of this. MSNBC Live Votes are not scientifically valid surveys.

ISDN-Mon V4 Available
At the time being Dirk Tietke is not able to maintain his homepage and to fix the known problems with broken links.
Furthermore it is not possible to say when he will be able to access his webserver with his Amiga computer
again, and to provide new updates.
That's the reason why we made the archive available at our own downloadside.
This leads to the download site

COMA, Is That a Virus?
NO! COMA is the name of the new clubmagazin (German) of the "Allgemeiner ComputerClub Magdeburg" (AccM).
Presumably it will be published on the 7th of october 2000 at our homepage. The first issue will
feature a report about the exhibition in Neuss, a HTML-Tutorial and much more. But it should not
be a AccM-Magazin only, everyone who wants to write something is invited to write articles.
The articles could be about new hardware, commentaries about up-to-date problems, jokes,
comicstrips or what ever you would like to write about.
And because we are a general computer club you do not have to write about Amiga the articles
can even be about PC or MAC or any other computer or OS. The last date for articles for issue
number 2 is the 1st october 2000. But we are still looking for authors for the upcoming issues.

WarpGIF-Datatype
The first GIF datatype for WarpOS is now freely available for all PPC-Amigas.
After datatypes for JPEG and PNG under WarpOS (done by Oliver Roberts and Andreas Kleinert)
this datatype now closes the gap for the widely spread GIF format.
According to Achim Stegemann this GIF datatype is speedwise around twice as fast as the original Gif-DT of the OS 3.5.
At the moment only OS 3.1 and 3.5 are supported. OS 3.0 follows later on.
For further information (and download) see titlelink.

This time we have got permission from the companies "Talking Birds" (known for
football manager games) and "Polarware" (once specialised in adventure games) to
offer their Amiga game on our site for download. Some of the games of these
firms, like "Oo Topos (Adventure, already released in 1986 in the USA) and "Der
Trainer" (german football manager with very good reviews in "Amiga Joker" and
"Amiga Games") are now ready for download.
Further on other games, for example "Dungeon Krampfer", "Thromulus" and others,
have been added.
Besides these credits concerning around 200 more Amigagames were integrated in
the searchable database. The music section was updated with new soundtracks of
Amiga games like "Lethal XCess", and more.
Around 60 hires cover scans of classic Amiga games are finishing this update.

VMC's Technical Library is Online
Harald Frank wrote:
Since today our hardware dictionnary is online at last, where every
in our products technical interested user or programmer may find everything what
is needed to write drivers for Linux, NetBSD or other operating systems which
exist for Amiga.
Should there be a lack of important information or you have some ideas and
suggestions concerning these sites, then please write an email to support@vmc.de
If you know a Linux or NetBSD programmer who is capable of porting drivers to
one of these systems or, even better, has already written successfully own
drivers, then inform him kindly about our new dictionnary pages with the request
for a port of the missing drivers. We'll give as much technical help as is possible
to everybody who wants to do this.
I think, with your support we'll be able to point all waiting users to new
drivers for Linux and NetBSD.
This leads you to the Technical
Library.

Spanish Version of amiga-news.de reworked
The spanish version of amiga-news.de will now be regularly updated, again.
The first collected experiences when doing the translation showed that the
first system chosen to do the work with was not the best suited to keep the messages
regularly up to date. So a new and more dynamic Website was developed.
This can be reached at the known URL:
http://www.amiga.es.org/amiganewsde.html.
For its use a browser with IFRAME-support is needed.
For the creating of this page help is looked for. Everybody with interest in
anticipating on this site can mail to Tomás J. Cantó.

AmigaNG Programs Overview Updated
The CD32 Alliance wrote:
And again the AmigaNG programs overview was updated (dated: 17.9.2000) and
contains now all programs that were released since the appearing of the
AmigaSDK.
Since the last update 3 programs were added, so that now 70 NG programs are
registered.
From now on the AmigaNG programs overview will be updated every sunday. I ask you
to consider this.
Urgently german owners of the AmigaSDK are wanted to write reviews about some of
the already released NG programs or to introduce NG programs.
Furthermore we search owners of the new d'AMIGA to introduce this also with a detailed
review.
To speed up the development of programs for the AmigaNG programmers are
wanted who can create a comprehensive workshop about the programming using the
new AmigaSDK.

cancelled! It's a nuisance that you have (are forced to) face this problem on the Amiga.
This doesn't really improve motivation! Who Cares? :-(
