Amiga Arena: Interview with Volker Grabbe
The lack of commercial software and the resulting gaps have been bridged well with
freeware and shareware programs just for the applications section during recent
years. But most Amiga users are missing an up-to-date browser and an office package
which truely allows to exchange data with other platforms.
Especially for "text processing" the Amiga is not up-to-date, any more. The Amiga Arena
talked to Volker Grabbe, who established the "OpenOffice" project and set himself the
target to put an end to this nuisance with the open source variant of Sun's "StarOffice 6".
This interview is available in
English, too.
Because Volker Grabbe cannot implement such project on his own, he raised a little
team and still relies on help from the Amiga community. Everybody wanting to participate
in this project, please contact
Volker Grabbe for more information.
Olaf Köbnik: "Dear Amiga users, it would be nice if numerous developers would come to
work on this project. The way users are fighting each other is incomprehensible to me. We all
benefit from such projects and should account ourselves happy for still having enthusiasts in the
Amiga section, who "sacrify" their spare time for us and the Amiga. Deliberately I did not mention
any comparable product here, because this message mainly intends to call attention for OpenOffice!"

peer2peer Morpheus changing protocoll
The peer2peer file sharing system ´Morpheus´ is changing the file sharing protocoll.
Since the start of Morpheus the FastTrackSystem was used, which had some security gaps. After the
change Morpheus users could not log into the system, because the existing software was not
compatible with the Morpheus client any more. Morpheus now is about to use the Gnutella protocoll.
If MusicCity will allow other Gnutella clients, there would be a better chance again for the Amiga to get MP3s and
video files, than it is currently possible with Amster (with the navigator).
There already is an unfinished Gnutella client called AmiGnut for the Amiga on Aminet. Sources are available in
StormC format.

Coyote Flux Presents - AuroraRadio
Coyote Flux is proud to announce "AuroraRadio", one of the first internet
radio stations to broadcast Amiga Game and Demo modules in between its
normal programming. On request a SID tune hour will be integrated in the
evenings.
What sets AuroraRadio apart from ordinary radio station is that its aimed
at a musical perspective, this means that infantile commercial efforts
such as Britney Spears, Limp Bizkit and Eminem will not be broadcasted.
Music with more or less modest attitude and at creativity's beauty. Not
aimed at 1 genre but for those who agree each genre whether it's classical
music, rock, jazz or house or whatever other can be beautiful when well
done. Think in the direction of Ken Ishii, Massive Attack, Studio K7
Dj's, Bjork, Future Sound Of London, Beanfield, The Beatles, Richie
Hawtin, Tricky, Tori Amos, The Doors, Vangelis, Sade, The Orb, Sneaker
Pimps, Oasis, Sun Electric, Everything But The Girl, Squarepusher and
Amiga/c64 artists such as Muffler, CNCD, Matt Gray, Martin Walker etc.
The offer is very varied and covers every timeframe in musical history
and mat not suit the genre aimed taste of the mainstreamer. The website
will be online in 3 weeks, but before that it's best to search for
"auroraradio" on the shoutcast website.
Kind Regards,
Coyote Flux

Audio: Overclocking Delfina Lite with DelfTweak
If you are seeking for more processing power for your Delfina Lite sound card and you are not confident of ripping some of the components off the board and replacing them with others, DelfTweak offers you an excellent alternative: it can overclock Delfina by software means and gain more than enough processing power to encode and listen to MP3 files.
Some features:
- capable of changing Delfina Lite's internal clock speed
- displays external and internal clock frequences and DSP frequency ratio
- supports any external clock (crystal) frequence in addition to standard 4 MHz external clock
- available frequency range with standard Delfina Lite: 4 MHz - 16.4 GHz!

Emulator: WinUAE 0.8.21R1
As from now the Win32 Port of the Amiga Emulator 'UAE' won't be continued
by Brian King any more. Toni Wilen, who has worked on WinUAE for some time,
will be taking over.
Last night Toni Wilen released his first version, WinUAE 0.8.21R1.
The WinUAE homepage is available under http://www.winuae.net/
and it is hosted by back2roots.org.
Ralf Steines: "I think that Toni is full of energy and able to work very fast.
We're lucky that he takes over the work on Win32 Port. Something better
could not have happened (and I'm sure that also UAE will profit from this).
The new version is really excellent!
For the first time WinUAE supports CD32/CDTV emulation with matching,
extended kickstart ROMs, a scsi.device, streaming audio/video recording
and a lot more. I'm sure that there're also some bugs but fixing them
won't take long."

Test: Bridge adapter IDE for SCSI + 100 GB harddisc in Amiga
Author: Mirko Naumann
Only some time ago Amiga users complained that it's not worthwhile to install
modern E-IDE harddiscs in Amiga since the existing controllers are not able
to keep up with the capacity. Once I was of the same opinion and therefore
I installed expensive UW-SCSI and U160-SCSI harddiscs in both my Amigas.
Compared to my former IDE harddiscs this was clearly a step ahead but
unfortunately the capacity was really ridiculous considering how much I
had paid for discs.
Some time ago I read an article about IDE for SCSI bridge adapters and
I bought a couple of them instantly. It's the top model of 'ACARD Technology',
the AEC-7720UW (title link) which transforms UDMA 33/66/100 drives in
UW-SCSI models (40 MB/s). To make it worthwhile, I bought a 100 GB discdrive
for each of my Amigas from
Western Digital (Caviar WD1000BB).

Hardware: Internal CD-rewriter + DVD-Rom drive PlexCombo 20/10/40/-12A
Although the
PlexWriter 40/12/40A
was only released in Germany a little while ago, Plextor has topped this rewriter
by releasing the CD-ReWriter + DVD-Rom Drive PlexCombo 20/10/40/-12A (title link).
It is the first rewriter of the 10x RW generation which can be installed
as a DVD-Rom drive.
The new drive describes CD-R with 20x zone CLV, CD-RWs with 10x CLV,
it reads CDs with up to 40x CAV and DVD with 12x (16.2 MB/s).
It has a data buffer of 2 MB and is based on BurnProof technology.
The price hasn't been fixed yet.

Hardware: CD-rewriter Plextor: 40x rewriter for the ATAPI interface
As already reported on
2 February 2002, Plextor is now offering a 40x rewriter for the
ATAPI interface (E-IDE). Here just a brief update by Mirko Naumann:
The PlexWriter 40/12/40A is now also available in Germany. The price of
the bulk version (drive, instruction book, PlexTools, E-IDE (ATAPI) cable
and audio cable) is around 215,-EUR while the retail version with additional
5 CD-R, 1CD-RW, the PC-Sofware Nero + InCD and a few installation screws costs
around 230,-EUR. According to US advertisements you can write a CD-R
in about 3 minutes. In any case this is probably the fastest and best
equipped CD rewriter on the market. Other companies have only stocked
32x and 36x rewriters. In addition, the PlexWriter can easily create
security copies (1:1) of copy-protected CDDAs such as BravoHits 34.

Functional AmigaOne was presented on alt.WOA
According to a brief message from alt.WOA which Don Cox has posted on
the AmigaOne mailing list (English original available via the title
link) a fully functional AmigaOne was presented at the fair.
"I've just returned from Alt WOA in Huddersfield.
It might interest you that Alan Redhouse received a fully functional
AmigaOne motherboard this morning, which he presented at the fair.
It seems that Escena had Linux run on this board (until OS4 is ready).
The motherboard seems to be working fine although Alan only managed to
get the booting process up-and-running up to the BIOS in the short
period of time that was available to him.
The specifications have really been improved compared to earlier versions.
The production of the motherboard begins in six weeks.
The announced (estimated) price was really reasonable. I think that Alan
will let you know the details very soon."

Magic Menu v2.34
Today has Magic Menu version 2.34 been released that now has among other things
direct Amithlon support. Enjoy it.
Magic Menu is a commodity that strongly enhances Intuition menus of the Amiga in
many ways. On the first start one surely recognises immediately the new modern
and three-dimensional look of the menus. But that isn't all. Furthermore offers
Magic Menu the possibility of so called pop-up menus i.e. menus that are
activated at any given point on the screen appear at just this point. In
addition offers Magic Menu a very comfortable menu control via keyboard if
needed.

Game: New MorphOS-Version of ScummVM 0.1.0
Rüdiger Hanke:
In the interpreter itself, not much has happened - 'cept first
support for some older games (including the 256 color (sic) Zak
McKracken). It's not even remotely enough, though, to even consider
playing through a few rooms.
But I have changed two issues about the MorphOS part:
- The "original" mouse pointer reappears when mouse is moved
outside the window, so you don't have to click blindly somewhere
to know where your mouse is ;-)
- Timing has been fixed a bit, so CPU load should decrease and the
mouse pointer movements will be less abrupt. It's not perfect,
but next version (see below) will have much improved timing handling.
These things have been taken from the new MorphOS driver and
not been extensively tested to work in the old one (although I don't
see a reason why they shouldn't), so I compiled it into the CVS snap. It's
difficult to put anything more into the old driver because the new
one is so much different.
Which leads me to a much nicer issue, that being the new MorphOS
driver which has been rewritten from the scratch (yet once more ;-))
and is now really really cute :-)) Also, it does contain music support
now (phew! that was quite some work ...). It'll need some horsepower,
though. Best get a G3 Pegasos to fully enjoy it ;-)

Editor: GoldED syntax parser for HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and more
Phillippe Bourdin:
With this I'd like to release a new version of the alternative GoldED syntax
parser. This syntax parser bases on the orginal one developed by
Dietmar Eilert and replaces it.
Functions are the recognising and colored highlighting of:
program blocks, brackets, special characters, HTML, PHP, JavaScript, JSP,
ASP and HSC. The colors can each be set up in the GoldED preferences.
In addition have many bugs of the orginal version and the last version been
fixed. The Aminet upload can take some days. On my homepage there's of course
always the latest archive available for download.
