Carsten Siegner (ANF)

Announcement: Voltmeter hardware for parallel port
Carsten Siegner is currently finishing the hardware test of his new
voltmeter hardware for the parallel port. This includes a
12-bit-ADC-Microchip, with which one can accomplish theoretically
250,000 voltage measurements per second.
This chip is propelled of a 4.19 MHz quartz. The product will soon contain
a universal voltmeter commodity and possibly, if I am able to program it, a storage oscilloscope commodity.
A test software for Siegners hardware is already available. This program
to display the amount of a voltage supply up to four places
exactly. The new hardware is meant for each original Amiga, which
possesses a 32Bit-Bus (A1200 and A4000). Unfortunately the software
exclusively runs on the original parallel port of the Amiga (no
interface map).

A.D.A: Three new demos - Shaft 7, Efrara and ISO
The Amiga Demoscene Archives (A.D.A.) now includes the demos Shaft 7
by Bomb, Efrara by Artwork and ISO by Scoopex. Read the original messages:
Shaft 7/Bomb. This has always been a mystery demo. Ben, the coder,
released this demo for Bomb, won The Party 1996, and dissapeared after
that. Still, a nice demo, with cool music by Yolk and Legend, good gfx by
the talented Bomb members and nice effects and 3D (for that time).
Efrara/Artwork. Nice slideshow by Fiver, coded by Tron and music by
Virgill. Released sometime in 1996 for Artwork.
Iso/Scoopex. This famous demo came 3rd at Remedy 1995. Featuring
wonderful graphics by Made, good music by Oxbow, great code by Ninja and
raytrace by Fender, this demo is very good looking.

WWW-Browser: Path Version 1.0.1
Path Amiga is the attempt of Alexander Weber to write an Internet
browser from scratch. He began the project in the second half of
the year 2001 (we reported) and slowly
the browser begins to take concrete shape. Version 1.0 supports HTML, that is also the reason for the version jump. The support is still
rudimentarily, so that a reasonable browsing is still
hardly possible. This situation will improve with each following
version.
In the new version 1.0.1 the following error was removed: The Browser
announcement should behave now many system-friendlier. Possibly this
update repairs a freezing of the system, which was reported.

Game: AmHuhn V1.4 and AmHuhnXE 1.2
Telemar Rosenberger has recompiled the executables of AmHuhn and AmHuhnXE with
StormC, and in the course removed some bugs. The new versions AmHuhn 1.4 and
AmHuhnXE 1.2 are ready to be downloaded from amiga-news.de in a German and an
English version each:
Download: (attention, please read the following notes!)
AmHuhn 1.4 - German - AMHuhn_Deutsch_V1_4.lha
AmHuhn 1.4 - English - AMHuhn_English_V1_4.lha
AmHuhnXE 1.2 - German - AMHuhnXE_Deutsch_V1_2.lha
AmHuhnXE 1.2 - English - AMHuhnXE_English_V1_2.lha
Important notes:
1. The newly compiled executable programs have been tested under the premise that the current beta version 5.4 of AHI be installed (we reported).
2. If the games AmHuhn and AmHuhnXE aren't already installed, the full archives from the AmHuhn Web site have to be installed first. The download archives listed above only contain the respective program file.

Report about Atari on 3sat
The (German) TV report about Atari in the series neues. computers and
more, that was broadcast on February, 10th, shows many original Atari machines (consoles, 8bitter, ST, Falcon) and also new developments like ARAnyM and a short interview with Oliver Kotschi of the Atari ColdFire project.
Even new top applications like the software synthesizer ACE were dealt. The TV team also visited the 8bit club ABBUC.
If you have missed the report you can download it as AVI video from the Internet. The file is almost 26 MBytes big, a fast connection is therefore recommendable. Next to that you can
read parts of the report online.
We wonder: Where's a report about the Amiga? :)

TKR LAM200E: DSL direct with the Amiga?
The company TKR from Kiel offers with the LAM200E by LG Electronics a DSL modem that has the PPPoE driver already integrated.
So you can theoretically use DSL directly with operating systems like AmigaOS or MorphOS without having to go the detour via a router, the X-Surf or the not available MiamiDX - though an Ethernet interface must exist on the Amiga or compatible as the modem is connected via this. The configuration of the driver is done externally via a webbrowser.
In conjunction with an Amiga it isn't tested right now - so it's pure theory. The AMIGAplus will try to get a sample of the LAM200E and release a review in the AMIGAplus 03/2003.
The LAM200E owns additionally an integrated router. Connected to a network hub several computers can connect to the internet via the modem.
The LAM200E costs EUR 99,90. Bargains in conjunction with subscriptions are possible. TKR grants a money-back-warranty of 14 days.
