amiga-news.de: Small Changes in Design
In order to make our menus a bit more readable we have removed the headings for 'Sub pages' and 'Special Pages.' These links may now be found in the upper menu under the link ´Sub Pages´ (bottom row, all the way on the right.
The links to our Partner Pages, which were formerly in the upper menu on the third row, are now in the right menu under ´Amiga Network.´
This was reached by a clear division between internal (upper menu) and external (right menu), and the right menu has become considerably shorter and thereby more readable. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Former Metabox Executive Stefan Domeyer accused
Stefan Domeyer former executive of the Met@box AG has been accused last week by the public prosecutors of Hannover because of stock excange course manipulation.
Full article (German) see title link.
The set top box producer gained some interested within the Amiga community due to its announcement of a processor card
for the A1200 in November 1999. Because of the unclear business methods Metabox reached the headlines several times in 2001.
Met@box AG has been founded on May the 15th 1996 with the name PIOS Computer AG by Amiga-Commodore developer engeneers (Dave Haynie, Andy Finkel) and former managers of Amiga Technologies (Stefan Domeyer). The initial capital, contributed by seven formers, had the amount of DM 1.05 millions.
Further details are to obtain from our
info page from June 1999.

Amithlon: PuhDerBaer update
Bernd Meyer writes:
I just realized that the stereo-capable version of PuhDerBaer (the
Paula-to-AHI redirector) never made it out to the users. Well, it's never
too late --- download the archive and please make sure you read the
included README.
Please note that I packed this up under Linux, rather than under AmigaOS.
So it is possible that permission bits may not be set correctly --- so if
things don't work, look for that first.

amiga-news.de: Amazon partner program buttons built in
Along the discussion (German) during the last week about new possibilities of funding there was several times the proposal among the comments to join the Amazon partner program. We signed it up now and there are now the two buttons for that built in at the right menu.
Many of you are buying books at Amazon. If you will do so in future by using one of the two buttons we will obtain a provision, which we can then use to fund amiga-news.de. So this is a kind of possibility to support us financially.

TV card software: AmithlonTV beta version 230
Guido Mersmann has released the beta version 230 of his TV card driver software
AmithlonTV.
New with this version:
- BUGFIX:
Found the crappy crash bug, that caused the bt8x8 driver sometimes to crash.
The same bug seems to caused the video freezing, the picture startup problem
and some fuzzy system trouble. I made fullspeed resizing tests without any
further picture trouble or crashes. Sometimes it's worth to rework a trouble
making driver from scratch!
- FEATURE:
The new reworked bt8x8 driver is able to process as many picture buffers
as required.
- FEATURE:
The new reworked bt8x8 driver is pre calculating the risc code size before
compiling, which causes less memory usage.
- BUGFIX:
Fixed a window sizing problem with smear (reported by Carsten Siegner).

Individual Computers: New year, new drivers, new prices
Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper is not only a PCI-card, it can also be used in an
Amiga. The first SID-driver has now been released for AmigaOS: Stefan Haubenthal
has written a 6581sid.library for common C64 emulators like Frodo or MagiC64.
Download: 6581sid.lha - 1442 Bytes
Unfortunately, the new year also brings bad news: Higher taxes, higher energy
cost and higher wages at our contractors force us to increase some prices for the
first time in the nearly nine-year old history of the company. This mainly affects
the new products. On the other hand, we will decrease prices for the existing
inventory.
The new pricelist is valid from February 1st, 2003.
Prices at your local reseller may be different from the prices listed here,
especially because of differen VAT rates in the European countries. Prices
listed here include the German VAT of 16%. Price lists published previously
become invalid with the publication of this list.
Buddha Flash IDE controller 49,90 EUR
Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper 89,90 EUR
Catweasel Z-II (incl. Buddha) 74,90 EUR
Catweasel ISA (PC-Version) 39,90 EUR
Gemini SCMS-killer (opto in) 149,00 EUR
Gemini SCMS-killer (coax in) 99,00 EUR
Graffiti Videocard 19,00 EUR
IDE-fix Express upgrade A1200 24,90 EUR
IDE-fix Adapter A4000 14,90 EUR
ISDN-Surfer w/o OVP 59,90 EUR
ISDN-Surfer w/ OVP 79,90 EUR
Silversurfer 29,90 EUR
Silversurfer limited Edition 34,90 EUR
A600 adapter for Silversurfer 9,90 EUR
X-Surf 2 ethernet 89,90 EUR
Lyra keyboard adapter 29,90 EUR
VarIO (Zorro/26-pin version) 49,00 EUR
VarIO (A1200 version) 59,00 EUR
PCI POST code display 39,90 EUR
Indivision Flickerfixer 99,00 EUR
Retro Replay 50,00 EUR
Retro Replay incl. Silversurfer 75,00 EUR
C-One reconfigurable computer mainboard aprox. 250,00 EUR
The products Kylwalda and IDE-fix express A1200 will only be produced on special
order. We're currently considering production outside Germany to keep the target
price of 189,- EUR for the Delfina soundcard.
Something funny at the end: Individual Computers is being massively attacked by
viruses in the past few weeks. Up to eight emails containing a virus arrive every
day. The amusing part about this is that it's viruses that only spread through
Windows and Outlook. Those who want to harm us should know that we're not using
sub-standard software, and attacks like this are simply ineffectual.

Pre-Releases of the new RC5-72 Clients available
Under the title link the AmigaOS-Clients (68k, PowerUp, WarpUp) for
the RC5-72 contest can be dowloaded. As said on amiga.org
the PowerUp-version is 100% MorphOS compatible. The clients
are so called "release candidate" versions. The versions have the numbers v2.9001.479.
The aim of the project RC5-75 is with as many computers as possible to decode a
72-bit-key. There are trillions of possibilites to compute. To take part in this you
do not have to have knowledge in programming, only free computer capacity. Jut
install te client, get some blocks and after decoding send them back. Help, a FAQ and
more explanations you will find at Amiga RC5 Team Effort.

Amiga Inc.: AmigaOS4 Feature Set: Release 1
January 13, 2003 - Snoqualmie, WA
Amiga is pleased to publish this first version of the feature set of the up
and coming AmigaOS4.0. The document will undergo revision in subsequent issues
but because of the massive demand for information made by the public, we have
decided to release it in its current state.
Due to the large amount of work and the obvious technical nature of OS development,
the document is both considerable in size, laden with jargon and, to save download
time, diagrams have not been included.
For those using older Amiga based PDF viewers, there may be a few minor issues
with displaying the front page graphics but this is due to issues with these
viewers. On official PDF viewers, and on the new AmigaOS4.0 viewer, the document
is rendered true.
Amiga would like to thank both those in the AmigaOS4.0 project team, who have
worked on this project with passion and commitment and those who have patiently
waited for their favourite platform to bloom once again. It has been a huge
undertaking and no one company, entity or person can take the credit. It has
been a fantastic demonstration of what makes the Amiga platform so special,
the coming together of like minds to build something extraordinary.
AmigaOS4.0. The legend continues.

AmigaOS4 Feature Set PDF
Update:
There is also a HTML version of this PDF document:
