Tool: update of asyncio.library for WarpOS
Thanks to helpful support, there's a new update of the asyncio.library with WarpOS support
which will appear on Aminet in the next days.
On a couple of Amigas, the PPC task could freeze. This bug is now fixed. Also the
library should run in PPC mode faster than before.
The update was tested with WarpOS v5.1 and worked without problems. Nevertheless
interested users should first test the update as problems with older WarpOS versions
cannot be ruled out.
Download until appearance on Aminet:

Cooperation between Petsoff and individual Computers
After a long time the efficient Delfine soundcard continues being
produced with a DSP (digital Signal processor) at individual Computers.
The card was reworked on the Zorro-site to increase the performance to
a level which has never been there with unchanged Z-II buses: "Delfina
Flipper edition" gains more than 5MB7sec! This speed can be used to play
more channels than it has ever been possible on a different Z-II soundcard or to reduce the cpu-using while playing single channels. All known DSP functions and programs for the Delfina also work with the new cards inclusively the most interesting application which is playing MP3 files with minimal cpu-use. Thus an Amiga without a turbo board is able to play MP3 in best quality!
With the help of the Toccata emulation and of the AHI software interface the Delfina can be used by each software which needs a soundcard. A midi expansion connects the Delfina to midi-expanders, synthesizers and keyboards.
By reworking the Delfina s
oundcard by individual Computers the costs could be enormously reduced.
The new cards will be probably available in summer 2001.
