3 Amiga advertisments from 1989
On his homepage, Jim
offers three Amiga commercials from 1989 for download. The three ads, described as very well made,
are tailored to the US market, and have been broadcasted on MTV in 1989.
However, so far the commercials are only available in RealVideo (.rm) format; a format without an Amiga player
being available so far. Additionally, single pictures and the sound in .wav format are available, and
Jim is interested in offering the animations in a different format. He
is looking for tips which format is best suited for the Amiga.
19.01.2000: Jims e-mail address seems to be non-functional. On the website, this
one is listed: hangfire@avalon.net. The commercials are
now available as Quicktime movies (about 1 MB per movie).

DeepSilence extra games wanted
We are looking for extra games for the action Manga RPG DeepSilence, that can be played within the
game in some kind of game arcade.
DeepSilence uses CyberGfx, so it can be played on the Workbench, too. 90% of the graphics are
traced. The game will offer 20 big maps, over 30 different weapons and spells, light and nebula
effects, non-linear storyline, action sequences and more.
System requirements: Amiga, 68020, AGA or gfx card, 8 MB FastRAM, 2x CD-ROM. According to the
readme file,
a 68020 reaches 30 pics/sec (resolution 320x256x8).
The game is announced for first quarter 2000. A 5 MByte demo file with informations, graphics and
a large animation is on Aminet.

Hello you private programmers out there!
I know there are many programmers out there just waiting to be discovered! We offer you the chance!
Subject: We are currently working on an Action-Manga-RPG for Amiga! (Info on Aminet
/game/demo/Deepsilence.lha,
Deepsilence.readme)
and are planning to put numerous games in one level! It's like you are in a game arcade, with many
different games to play... that's where we need you! Send us your games! No matter how simple they
are! (Please, not that simple!)
Following requirements have to be met, however:
- They have to be adapted, so they really look like started from a game machine - so no advertising!
- If it requires AGA, it has to run on CyberGfx, too!
- They should be running on AGA, so no graphic errors!
This is your chance!! Take it!
Mail to: Mangaclub@freenet.de (answers usually on weekends)

CD32 Alliance online again
The CD32-Alliance pages, maintained by
Thorsten Schölzel, are online again, and in a
new design.
The website is about the CD32 game console, which Commodore released 1993, and its expansions
(MPEG module, SX-1, SX32, CD32-joypad etc.). Aside from posting detailed information, the CD32
Alliance wants to make new software available for the CD32, and offers their help for this.
A CD32 version of the shareware game Sharks is announced for a self-cost price of 10-12.5 Euro.
A screenshot is available from the news area.
The website currently offers a news section, information about and pictures of the CD32, a games
area planned to offer a complete overview over all CD32 games in the future, opinions about the
console and more. A developer area has been announced.

Melody Z2
Kato Development writes on their own website:
December last year, a limited number of almost-finished Melody Z2 were offered for a special
price. The demand was incredibly high, so we wanted to produce some new. Sadly, some of the
parts are very hard to get, or completely unavailable. So we cannot produce more Melody Z2
in this form.

Motorola investing in Tao
Motorola is investing in Tao Group Ltd., and is planning to use Taos Virtual Processor and the
Java-based OS technology in products of their own (e.g. mobile communication, Internet). An important
issue for portable applications is the virtual code needing less memory than native code, despite
being executed fast. With a RISC CPU, the memory factor is 1.4 to 1.7.
Charig: "We currently work with a number of partners from consumer electronics. Motorola is not the
only important partner, but the first investor."

Setting some things straight
* Forwarded from "Team Amiga" Mailinglist
* Originally from: fleecy moss (fleecy@earthlink.net)
* Original date: Fri, 14 Jan 2000 11:19:45 -0500
In my trawling around the community hangouts,
I have come across several misconceptions, rumours,
and a lot of confusion. Whilst I can't hope to answer
everything, here are some things I want to set straight.
0. Amiga will build a digital content universe. Digital
content means anything composed of 0 and1 -
applications, video, audio, games, emails, whatever.
We will focus on 2 markets, the pathfinder market,
for digital adventurers, power users, gamers,
content creators, DTPers, artists, video ppl
and those who refuse to define a computer as
a digital appliance. Our second market will
cocentrate on the Domestic Digital Habitat (DDH).
1. If you are a personal computer person, there will
be a personal computer second wave Amiga.
2. We will support classic development in so much
as we want to help users and developers transition
to a new machine. That will be the total extent of our
support for the classic machine. If this involves further
AmigaOS releases, then so be it.
3. We are targetting x86 and PPC for the first consumer
release of Pathfinder products (if you are a personal
computer person, this means you).
4. We will do everything in our power (that doesnt bankrupt
us or interfere with our primary goals) to ensure classic
Amiga software runs on the new machine in some form or
another.. The new Amiga product family (formerly called
AQUA) will run natively and hosted. This is to create a large
market fast for Amiga developers to profit from. For the first
pathfinder release it will run hosted to see this market grow
fast. We see one of our core duties as serving the developers.
6. We are talking to the Phoenix Consortium about common
interests.
7. We have been contacted by QNX but currently have no plans
to work with them.
8. We will develop Amiga products for another market, the
Domestic Digital Habitat (DDH) market. This markets will
be kept separate but products will work together if the installer
so desires it.
9. There will be a new website and it will be public shortly. It has
been tested on all browsers, Amiga and non Amiga, and given
the compatibility problems between the implementations of open
standards, our best effort has been made. The site will grow
quickly and more information will be added. We want it to become a
village where all Amigans can come to voice their opinions, chat,
and travel off to different parts of the Amiga universe.
a. A developer support manager has been selected and they are
working on implementing the developer support program. This will
be in place before the developer boxes are released.
b. The developer boxes are specced out, we have contacted several
whitebox manufacturers and we are building the distribution.
c. Amiga will not provide dates until we have a product. We will share
timelines, but will not attach dates to them. Enough damage has
already been done.
d. We have had acceptances from 75% of our development team and
their names and roles will be announced once we get back from
training (before the end of the month).
This mail can be redistributed without modification within the community.
As further questions and issues come up, we will attempt to answer them.

It has been a while again since this page was updated, and this time it's quite bad news: 4
months ago I strained both my arms and hands and was not able to program anymore. It's been
better since then, but still I can only work for a few hours on Audio Evolution in the weekends,
otherwise it would take too much of my health. This means that there has not been a lot of progress
lately, but I'm working on something that requires a major overhaul of the program, and I think
you'll like it! Unfortunately, I can't tell when the next release will be and when I recover from
my injury. Cross your fingers!

I was able to talk him into providing me with the sources and a generic keyfile, so both will be

can be found.
So I divided program and source on two archives (UFT-Istec_usr.lha and UFT-Istec_dev.lha)

Moreover, Petro commented on the fusion of the German print magazines amigaOS - Amiga Plus.
He regrets that there are only two Amiga magazines left (counting in the PCgo add-on Amiga Magazin).
However he regards the amigaOS as "a very professional magazine".

Eternity writes: We probably hit a bug in OS 3.5. If you tried to install the demo from the Amiga Future
CD-ROM with OS 3.5 (by draging&dropping the drawer), the protection flags of certain files have been
changed. Those files are partially no longer readable, writeable or visible. What helps?
Copy the drawer files to the hard disk by hand. No matter how. Only the complete drawer must stay intact.
DOpus or any other filemanager can help you with it, you can of course also use the shell command copy.
Another possibility is to copy all files, and subsequently set the protection flags of the whole directory
to RWED. (DOpus)

Credit Card Fraud on Internet
Using credit cards in the Internet seems to be not that secure as the banking companies tell us
over and over again. A security hole in a software for authentification of credit cards by the
company Cybercash (ICVerify) enabled a 19 year old cracker from Moskow, named Maxus, to transfer
money at will since 1998, and even withdraw money from cash terminals (according to Maxus).
After the cracker failed in blackmailing the US online music retailer eUniverse, he reportedly
posted 25,000 credit card numbers on his website. The FBI now handles the case.

Amiga Incorporated and Tao Group enter into a strategic relationship
At the title link, you can now read the press release about the cooperation with Amiga Inc.
on the TAO-Group website, too.
On the Amiga Inc. page, you can find a second press release:
Amiga and Tao-Group enter into a strategic relationship.
11.01.2000: The "press release" has been deleted from the Amiga website
in the meantime - it was not originally intended for release, and has been posted to the
website more or less by accident. (mb)
