HyperCOM Magic Update with IOBlix Emulation
Beta-test HyperCOM 2.96B1 Magic-Update
With the new HypeCOM update we are making a lot of new functions official at once, hence there
is a big chance for problems to occur which we did not realise up to now.
As substitute for the old SilverSurfer software we are now officially offering a support via the
hyperCOM1.device from version v2.96B1, which has been enhanced or made faster in all parts compared to
the old silversurfer.device.
On of the most important new functions now is an implemented IOBlix software emulation, which allows some
programs and drivers to be used with the extremely compatible HyperCOM boards, at last.
Here are some examples on what already works:
- ScanQuix5 parallel Scanner-Support
- Camouflage 8x parallel Midi-Interface
- RBM AmStrong USV
- IOBlix ioblixzip.device for IO-Mega parallel ZIP-Drives
Within the next days the technical part of the emulation will be enhanced further, so that
surely even more applications and drivers can be used with the HyperCOM boards.
ATTENTION!
In order to be able to use the IOBlix software emulation the vmcresource.library must be loaded
by one of our drivers (hyperCOMx.device oder hyperPAR.device)!

AROS - Status
AROS (Amiga Research OS), the system independent open source new implementation of the AmigaOS
is now bootable as the native version, and one can already do mouse moving on the screen.
Since there still is no filesystem no programs can be executed. Currently it is being tried to
get the source code of SFS; the author was positive about this idea, but first wants to fix some bugs.
More details, e.g. the trial to port AROS to UAE using JIT, you can find at the titlelink.

Back to the Roots Amiga-News
With the today update at "Back to the Roots" we are proving that this site
is something for everybody worldwide, no matter which land you are from or which
language you are speaking - there is something for everybody who is interested in
Amiga, Amiga emulations or the demo scene!
We are able to present both of the Spanish adventure games, "La Aventura Original" and
"La Diosa de Cozumel" from Aventuras AD. From Denmark comes the funny Troll "Hugo" who
might especially please kids, while the French company Lankhor provides us with both, the
German and English version of the classic "Mortville Manor", and with "Black Sect" they even gave
an absolut rarity in addition. And as a special surprise there now is even the CD32 version
of the classic adventure "Beneath a Stell Sky" for free and legal download. And as always, we
only told about some of the new games.
Of course, as absolute demo freaks we never would forget the demo scene with our updates.
Therefor there are among others two brand-new demos from Scoopex and Spaceballs for the - you
listen and are astonished - Amiga500 for download! Furthermore many classic demos and newer demos
for ECS+AGA Amigas/emulators were added.
For the friends of music among us there is a big Jesper Kyd Special - the well known musician of the
group "The Silents". From Hannes Seifert (Whale's Voyage) or Matthias Stenzhorn (Brainman) comes
music from computer games. We even were able to find a remix of the popular music from Monkey Island 2.
And the graphisc fetishists should have a look at the marvelous pictures by scene artists like Flood,
Nomad or Acryl.
That's all for today. Have a lot of fun with the new "food".

European Parlament are giving a favourable opinion on Software-Patents
«The board of directors of the european parlament (EPA) have given a favourable opinion on an unrestricted possibility to
patent software. According to the Handelsblatt
the authority recommends to withdraw the stipulation that computer applications "as such" are not possible
to patent from the European Patent Agreement.
.»
«Programmers of free software, as well as smaller software companies are against software patents,
cause potential danger of patent suits by big companies would make their work practically impossible.
These a days big American companies are already saving a lot of patents on partly
trivial developments - they are doing so also to
resist against other companies upbraiding patent violation. But free developers and small companies are not in funds to
use such a strategy. Thus they have started an
Allianz against Software-Patents.»
I realy recommend everybody, who is interested in that also small software companies can continue to work without
allways being afraid of patent suits, to participate in the
Petition against Software-Patents by voting. Up to now there have been
38,478 votes! (ps)

Earth 2140
epic interactive announces portation to the Amiga of the successful realtime strategy game "Earth 2140".
epic has got the license from Topware Interactive AG to port one of the most popular realtime strategy game
for Windows to Mac and Amiga. The Amiga version is currently at an early beta state and release is estimated for
early November.
Since Earth runs in 16Bit it requires high level hardware: at least an Amiga with 68040 processor, graphics board and
16MB of RAM. But recommended is an Amiga PPC with graphics board and 32MB of RAM.
Earth plays in the year 2140. The earth is controlled by two competing forces, the Eurasian Dynasty (ED) and the United
Civilised States (UCS). Both are at war with each other fighting for the last remaining raw materials on earth....
The Amiga version comes with different localisations, including German.
Screenshots:
Features:
- 50 Thrilling Missions
- 640x480 or 800x600 with 65.000 Colours
- 70 Different Units and Buildings
- Multiplayer Mode
- Stereo Soundtrack with CD Quality
- 7 Minutes Intro, Breathtaking Inter-Sequences
Up to Oktober, 15th Earth 2140 can be preordered from us.
At Amiga Fire from next week you will find
regular status reports on the beta state of Earth 2140.

Petro's Aspect of the Story...
AmigaScene from the Netherlands has asked Petro Tyschtschenko on the start of his company
and put his answers on ANF to notify:
«First of all many greetings from AmigScene and AGGF from the Netherlands!
We stumbled upon the story of your new company and the relating comment from Bill McEwen.
We sure just could publish this, but befor doing so we want to have your story on this.
Also if you cannot say anything about it, we ask you for reply. Regards from your dutch
followers! Marvin Droogsma»
Petro Tyschtschenko's reply:
«I do not intent to leave my beloved Amiga and to flee from the community by this.
It is right that I have taken a 50% share in the Power Service GMBH as an inactive partner
to spend my evening of life in financial independence, as I hope so at least.
After all I am already 57 years old and so one have to think of this. Still my entire strength
belongs to the Amiga and I have not done anything unlawful at the expense of Amiga, at all.
It is no crime to take a financial share in a company in whose targets I believe, isn't it.
In this sense, your Petro»

Mirror of the Frogger MPEG Player homepage online
Due to problems with routing the domain to Germany, Marco Frischkorn offered
the programmers of Frogger webspace, so the site and downloads are more easily
available; think of this as a mirror.
Fact is: the page is now also available at
www.highantdev.de/frogger/.

Epic Marketing Germany is restructuring
On 30. September 2000, Epic Marketing Germany will say good-bye after four years in the Amiga market,
and will start two new companies on 1. October 2000. Due to this, the homepage is reworked and
will be reposted in early October.
The company will be split into two areas on 1. October 2000:
epic interactive will turn towards the
gaming market, and primarily port and develop games for the Apple MacIntosh. Support for
the systems Milan and Amiga One is targeted as soon as those are available
on the market.
Informations on our upcoming Mac titles "Gorky 17", "Earth 2140", "Simon The Sorcerer 2",
"Dafel: Bloodline" and all other titles will be available soon on www.epic-interactive.com.
For the Classic Amiga, we will soon present the games Simon The Sorcerer 2, Earth 2140 and
Dafel: Bloodline. If this platform will be continuously supported depends on the success of
these three products, "Earth 2140", which is in beta phase, can be preordered until
15. October 2000 at a special price.
epic multimedia will be about the distribution
of games, info- and edutainment titles for different platforms (Mac, Win, Linux etc.).
As a goodbye from Epic Marketing Germany, numerous of our Amiga titles are available at
special prices until 30. September 2000.

Amiga Link Directory with Special Aminet Search Function
In recent months, the Amiga Link Directory became one of the most favourite search
engines and AMIGA directories thanks to its unique features. Now we add yet more!
Starting immediately, you can search the Aminet for WWW adresses and files. Enter the
name of a program whose homepage you are looking for, and just cannot find in the ALD.
ALD will scan all files on Aminet matching the search string, and look in the .readme files for
WWW adresses. The result of this scan will be listed in a table. To get you results
quickly, every link will only be listed once, even if given in several .readme files.

born 23.11.1969, Frankfurt/Main. Limited Company (so-called "GmbH" in

Supplement:
Bill McEwen, CEO Amiga, Inc. made the following statement
to the above:
"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."

New UAE JIT Patch Available
"Just a quick note --- there is a new "bleeding edge" patch for UAE-JIT for Linux.
It fixes some minor problems, and adds some important changes to the JIT compiler.
If you had stability problems in the past, you might want to try this one. I have
made a source patch and a few pre-built binaries available. Please understand that
this is more or less a snapshot of work in progress, not a full "release" (can't
have a release --- the Premier League had last weekend off due to an international
;-), and as such requires you to know what you are doing.
I am fairly confident that the source compiles, and that the binaries are actually
built for what they claim to be built form, but that is about as far as I'll go....
;-)
If you haven't used UAE-JIT before, and plan to download one of the new binaries,
PLEASE also download the "patch against pristine sources" from the Derby County
release. You don't want the patch, but you *definitely* want the documentation that
comes with the same archive!

- FIXED: Sound-buffer slider gets disabled when no audio output is selected.
- FIXED: German GUI DLL is accurate now. (Thanks Georg)
- ADDED: Flicker-free Amiga screen updates when full-screen. Doesn't affect Picasso96 screens, though.
- CHANGED: Sound output tweaked again, should be "slightly" better.

New SSTV-Software for Radio Amateurs
At the link comm/misc/af_mksstv.lha a test version
of a program for sending pictures through SSTV (narrow band television) is for download. At the moment you only can send
pictures by using
the modus Martin M1. No special hardware is required. The output is realized over the audio output of the Amiga -
you will hear a 114 seconds long whistle. The recommended hardware is a A1200 with OS3.0, but a faster one would be better.
User comments, bug reports and suggestions are welcomed. A further development depends on the user respond.

Pegase V1.8d
Marcel Rohles writes:
Didier Levet released four updates of the MPEG-Layer-2-encoders Pegase between 31.08.2000 and 09.09.2000.
In addition to bugfixes and little changes, the audio-model has been improved. Now there is nearly no
difference between original and copy with a 160 kbit coded AIFF.
Unfortunately there were no responses during the last weeks, so he thinks that noone uses Pegas
e anymore or there is no interest in further versions.
Especially on pure 68k-Amigas there is in my opinion no alternative to Pegase - MP§-encoding without
PPC takes too much time.
Pegase offers compression-times of 2:1 on my Cyberstorm MK I (50 MHz) and a really good quality of
the encoded songs, often even better than free MP3-encoders.

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.
