HyperCOM Magic Update with IOBlix Emulation
Beta-test HyperCOM 2.96B1 Magic-Update
With the new HypeCOM update we are making a lot of new functions official at once, hence there
is a big chance for problems to occur which we did not realise up to now.
As substitute for the old SilverSurfer software we are now officially offering a support via the
hyperCOM1.device from version v2.96B1, which has been enhanced or made faster in all parts compared to
the old silversurfer.device.
On of the most important new functions now is an implemented IOBlix software emulation, which allows some
programs and drivers to be used with the extremely compatible HyperCOM boards, at last.
Here are some examples on what already works:
- ScanQuix5 parallel Scanner-Support
- Camouflage 8x parallel Midi-Interface
- RBM AmStrong USV
- IOBlix ioblixzip.device for IO-Mega parallel ZIP-Drives
Within the next days the technical part of the emulation will be enhanced further, so that
surely even more applications and drivers can be used with the HyperCOM boards.
ATTENTION!
In order to be able to use the IOBlix software emulation the vmcresource.library must be loaded
by one of our drivers (hyperCOMx.device oder hyperPAR.device)!

AROS - Status
AROS (Amiga Research OS), the system independent open source new implementation of the AmigaOS
is now bootable as the native version, and one can already do mouse moving on the screen.
Since there still is no filesystem no programs can be executed. Currently it is being tried to
get the source code of SFS; the author was positive about this idea, but first wants to fix some bugs.
More details, e.g. the trial to port AROS to UAE using JIT, you can find at the titlelink.

Back to the Roots Amiga-News
With the today update at "Back to the Roots" we are proving that this site
is something for everybody worldwide, no matter which land you are from or which
language you are speaking - there is something for everybody who is interested in
Amiga, Amiga emulations or the demo scene!
We are able to present both of the Spanish adventure games, "La Aventura Original" and
"La Diosa de Cozumel" from Aventuras AD. From Denmark comes the funny Troll "Hugo" who
might especially please kids, while the French company Lankhor provides us with both, the
German and English version of the classic "Mortville Manor", and with "Black Sect" they even gave
an absolut rarity in addition. And as a special surprise there now is even the CD32 version
of the classic adventure "Beneath a Stell Sky" for free and legal download. And as always, we
only told about some of the new games.
Of course, as absolute demo freaks we never would forget the demo scene with our updates.
Therefor there are among others two brand-new demos from Scoopex and Spaceballs for the - you
listen and are astonished - Amiga500 for download! Furthermore many classic demos and newer demos
for ECS+AGA Amigas/emulators were added.
For the friends of music among us there is a big Jesper Kyd Special - the well known musician of the
group "The Silents". From Hannes Seifert (Whale's Voyage) or Matthias Stenzhorn (Brainman) comes
music from computer games. We even were able to find a remix of the popular music from Monkey Island 2.
And the graphisc fetishists should have a look at the marvelous pictures by scene artists like Flood,
Nomad or Acryl.
That's all for today. Have a lot of fun with the new "food".

European Parlament are giving a favourable opinion on Software-Patents
«The board of directors of the european parlament (EPA) have given a favourable opinion on an unrestricted possibility to
patent software. According to the Handelsblatt
the authority recommends to withdraw the stipulation that computer applications "as such" are not possible
to patent from the European Patent Agreement.
.»
«Programmers of free software, as well as smaller software companies are against software patents,
cause potential danger of patent suits by big companies would make their work practically impossible.
These a days big American companies are already saving a lot of patents on partly
trivial developments - they are doing so also to
resist against other companies upbraiding patent violation. But free developers and small companies are not in funds to
use such a strategy. Thus they have started an
Allianz against Software-Patents.»
I realy recommend everybody, who is interested in that also small software companies can continue to work without
allways being afraid of patent suits, to participate in the
Petition against Software-Patents by voting. Up to now there have been
38,478 votes! (ps)

Earth 2140
epic interactive announces portation to the Amiga of the successful realtime strategy game "Earth 2140".
epic has got the license from Topware Interactive AG to port one of the most popular realtime strategy game
for Windows to Mac and Amiga. The Amiga version is currently at an early beta state and release is estimated for
early November.
Since Earth runs in 16Bit it requires high level hardware: at least an Amiga with 68040 processor, graphics board and
16MB of RAM. But recommended is an Amiga PPC with graphics board and 32MB of RAM.
Earth plays in the year 2140. The earth is controlled by two competing forces, the Eurasian Dynasty (ED) and the United
Civilised States (UCS). Both are at war with each other fighting for the last remaining raw materials on earth....
The Amiga version comes with different localisations, including German.
Screenshots:
Features:
- 50 Thrilling Missions
- 640x480 or 800x600 with 65.000 Colours
- 70 Different Units and Buildings
- Multiplayer Mode
- Stereo Soundtrack with CD Quality
- 7 Minutes Intro, Breathtaking Inter-Sequences
Up to Oktober, 15th Earth 2140 can be preordered from us.
At Amiga Fire from next week you will find
regular status reports on the beta state of Earth 2140.
