Computer Bild: Amiga wieder da (Amiga back again)
Computer Bild (German comuter magazine) reports in issue 23/2000, page 4:
«After a more than 6 year break, the almost legendary (and considered dead more than once) US company Amiga has announced the production of hardware. Starting fall 2001, the computer "Amiga One" will be produced by third parties. This will be running games, music and office applications. "The best" of old Amiga software will be prepared for the new computer.»

Anja Frese told us via e-mail, that there also is an article about Amiga on page 60 of the the current issue of Computer Woche (German computer magazine).

Individual Computers - News
Here the headlines:

  • X-Surf revised
    Since two weeks, a revised version of the X-Surf ethernet board is shipping.
  • Buddha Flash Gold Edition with 32k Flash
    Because of the Euro currency being continously weak against the US Dollar, the size of the flash memory on the Buddha Flash controller had to be reduced to 32K.
  • ISDN-Surfer gamma-test starting in week 46
    During the week from November 13th to 17th, the gamma-test of the ISDN-Surfer will start. For this test, we're looking for Amiga users with very special setups and ISDN phone lines that are NOT provided by Germany's Deutsche Telekom.
  • Repulse sound board will be produced by individual Computers
    After long negotiations, the contract with Aliendesign, the team that has developed the Repulse, has been finished. If we can collect enough pre-orders this month, production may even start this year.

More details at the title link.

Programmer Wanted
Wanted:
A programmer, who wants to take over the further development of the source code (C++, 98% OOP) of SOMS. It is just about game-programming like story/inventory/bobs, some effects, and resolving bugs. Everything else is ready and easy to use. You will need an Amiga with min 20MB RAM and a fast cpu (68030+) for compilation and an installed GNU-C version 2.91.66 (GCC/EGCS) or higher and GeekGadgets.

The programmer does not have to do all of the work. We are planing a cooperation with the actual programmer because he has not longer the possibility to spent all of his time on the programming of the engine. The payment will be percentage of every sold game.

Excelate Victory: Info-site Online
Trogladite Software has released additional information regarding the email tool "Excelate Victory". The tool allows the easy programming of email clients with 13 commands.

The tool is started via the ARexx port. So every programming language and every application software with the corresponding interface can use Excelate Victory. The connection to an POP3 server, for example, is done with: "CONNECTPOPHOST mail_server user_id password [port]". The there released example script contains more commands. "GetMailCount" determines the number of existing messages and "GetMail" gets an e-mail from the server.

cnet.device 1.5
Harry Sintonen has released version 1.5 of the PCMCIA ethernet driver "cnet" on 02 November 2000. This is a SANA2-driver for the PCMCIA slot of the A600 and A1200 supporting most of the NE2000-compatible cards. A list of the cards and the assembler source code of the driver are included in the archive. Compared to the previous version the following has been changed:
  • Changed: The list of the compatible cards has been updated.
  • Changed: The device assumes that a network card is there even when the CISTPL_FUNC_ID-Tuplewasn't found. With this the driver should work with some additional cards (Microcomputer Research Inc's Mr Ethernet).
  • Bugfix: A problem with the pre-v39 FreePooled()-function was fixed.

The driver runs on OS 2.04 and higher.

Download: cnetdevice.lha (135K), Readme
