• Once again improved the internal security stuff for less timing problems with sensitive software (serial.device still has trouble with 115200 baud on a MC68030, use 8n1.device instead!).
• Added 'Neurotic Death' viruses (6 versions) to xvsSurveyMemory() and the installer files to xvsCheckFile().

1. Wir ziehen in neue Büroräume um, und wir werden eine neue Adresse haben, Kontaktinformationen werden nächste Woche veröffentlicht. Es gibt also keinen Grund, sich darüber Sorgen zu machen, was mit dem Büro los sei, wir profitieren von dieser Änderung. Wir mussten in eine Region umziehen, die näher an den Diensten und Firmen liegt, mit denen wir zusammenarbeiten.
2. Der AmigaOne steht in den Startlöchern und ich habe die Ankündigung von Eyetech hier an dieses Update angehängt. Glückwünsche an alle und an die Community für ihre neue Amiga Hardware.
3. OS 4.0 ist beinahe fertig und das Team von Hyperion arbeitet sehr hart daran, alles fertigzustellen. Sie wurden durch einige Low-Level Arbeiten am AmigaOne aufgehalten und da diese Arbeiten jetzt beendet sind, sind sie so weit, dass sie die letzten fehlenden Arbeitschritte angehen können, um ein ein fantastisches Produkt anzubieten.
4. In den nächsten Wochen wird es einige Ankündigungen von Drittherstellern geben, die jetzt OS4-Versionen ihrer Software erstellen. Ich habe zugestimmt, dass ich ihnen nicht den Auftritt verderben werde, sondern sie zuerst ihre eigenen Ankündigungen machen lasse, und wir werden sie dann auf unserer Seite auflisten, nachdem sie veröffentlicht wurden.
5. "Amiga Games Pocket Packs" werden um die Thanksgiving Ferien herum von verschiedenen Händlern in den USA und England erhältlich sein, u. a. bei CompUSA und mmO2 in England. Ja, was Sie da lesen ist korrekt. Die Amiga Games Pocket Packs eins und zwei werden dieses Jahr für 29.95 [verm. US$, Anm. d. Übers.] ausgeliefert und werden bei verschiedenen autorisierten Händlern in den USA und bei mmO2 in England erhältlich sein. Jeder dieser Pocket Packs enthält vier Spiele, und zwei weitere Packs werden folgen. Das sind großartige Neuigkeiten, da tausende von Kunden hier und in England in der Lage sein werden, Amiga Inhalte auf ihren PocketPCs und PocketPC Phone Edition Geräten auszuprobieren.
6. Des Weiteren werden wir noch vor Weihnachten "SmartPhonePacks" veröffentlichen. Diese werden den Pocket Packs ähneln, allerdings sind sie für die neuen SmartPhones gedacht, die dieses Jahr erscheinen. Wie Sie wissen, werden diese auf dem neuen Sendo Z100 laufen, und sie werden auch für die neuen Telefone von Orange erhältlich sein.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:

 Happy Halloween to those who celebrate the holiday! It may be
appropriate that this issue of "Amiga Update" goes out tonight since
Halloween is the day for frightening "things" and in some ways we
might call this past month a frightening month. We didn't see much in
the way of Amiga news to send your way. A lot of what we did find
related to upcoming planned projects, beta releases and utilities
designed for specialized uses. There was no Executive Update from
Amiga either. I like it much more when the Amiga community makes a lot
of interesting noise. Silence is scary.
 However, as is usually the case, there are interesting things going
on in the Community. We have stories on many of them below.
 There's also some potentially interesting news from IBM. On the 15th
of the month, IBM announced the 1.8GHz Power PC 970 at the
Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, California. This new chip has the
potential of bringing true 64 bit desktop computing to the Amiga
community down the road in the Amiga1 line. We'll have to see how
this develops. Right now, I'd just be happy for readily available,
complete Amiga1 machines ... haven't seen them yet.
 We hope you enjoy this issue, and we also hope for much more to
report to you next time around. Time will tell.

 What's going on?
 
 The Ottawa Amiga Show will have Amiga retailers selling products and
developers showing off their latest programs.
 
 The retailers are Cinereal of Ottawa, Downtown Amiga from Montreal,
and Livewire Systems of Ottawa. Livewire systems has indicated they
will have 2 Amithlon systems, some Elbox hardware products, Quake two
and more! Cinereal will be demonstrating Matrox video editing
solutions as well as selling Amiga software and hardware.
 
 ACK Software Controls from Niagara Falls will be demonstrating the
AmigaOne, the first new Amiga hardware since 1993, and a modified
Amiga 4000T, the last classic Amiga model produced.
 
 Admission to the show is free.
 
 Technomages will be on hand demonstrating their latest AmigaDE/AA
titles including Eric Schwartz Puzzles, Memory and others.
 
 ZEE4 of Toronto will be on-hand demonstrating their brand new Amiga
DE offerings.
 
 There will be several systems running demonstrations of Amiga Digital
Environment content.
 
 After the show ends, there will be a post-show supper at the Royal
Oak, the regular meeting place of Amiga.info open to everyone who
wishes to attend. As usual, we will take over the basement.
 
 We will likely have a webcam for those of you who can not make it to
Ottawa. Once it is ready, we will post the address.

When is the show?

 The Ottawa Amiga Show is taking place on November 9, 2002. Doors open
to the public at 11:00am, and the show ends at 4:00pm. People should
arrive at the Royal Oak for around 5:30pm.

 Where is the show?

 The show is quite easy to get to from just about everywhere. The map
page will show you how to get to the show.

 Why have a show?
 
 There are two reasons - the first being that the Amiga computer and
operating system may have fallen from the mainstream, but to this day
there are dedicated users to use the Amiga for a wide range of uses,
including email, surfing the web, video editing, graphics work, and
many others.
 
 Amiga Inc's new Digital Environment (DE) is an excellent platform for
developing software that needs to run everywhere - on PCs, on PDAs, on
cellphone and a myriad of other devices. Programming for DE is written
once, in either Java, C, or VP Assember, and from there will run on
any AmigaDE enabled device.

Any questions about the Ottawa Amiga show can be directed to
amigashow@technomages.net.

 Some great stuff now online, and hopefully a few more cool new things
in the immediate future, too (stay tuned) :) http://www.amigau.com
 
 We've got some cool new stuff online for you:
 
 Site Mirrors: (http://www.amigau.com/sitearchives.htm)
 
 - Amiga Source is now mirrored on our site, thanks Scott!
 
 - we still maintain site mirrors of the excellent Blitz Basic,
Samplitude Opus (with software downloads) and Amiga Interactive Guide
sites, too.
 
 Site Archives:
 
 We have added two GREAT Amiga site archives from the somewhat recent
past:
 
 - National Amiga tech pages: these are full of great tech
information, including pinouts, motherboard configs and lots of
accelerator information - These were originally done by Greg Scott and
used to be on National Amiga's website - thanks to Larry S. and Joe at
Archtech in London, Ontario!
 
 - Spock's Logical Amiga Pages: As many of you may remember, this was
a great site that has been offline for some time, unfortunately due to
its author, Eric Robertson, passing on last fall. Thanks to Donald
Sowell for providing this data as hopefully a little memorial to
Eric's fondness for the Amiga and his excellent site.
 
 - Amiga Realm archive mirrors (12 of them) - Thanks to Paul Andrews
for providing data to mirror their site archives!
 
 Additional stuff:

 303Tracker - this is a cool Roland TB303 emulator you can run on your
Amiga - software downloads included - thanks to Jeroen Schellekens for
his site archive and software (http://www.amigau.com/c-music/303t.htm)

 Events page:
 
 We have added an easy to find Events page for upcoming Amiga events &
shows, and we pledge to keep it current! :) If you have an event or
show coming up anywhere in the world, let us know so we can post it
immediately. (http://www.amigau.com/events.htm)
 
 Thanks, keep on coming back and if you have additional Amiga sites
for us to help you mirror or archive (to preserve them), just let us
know when/how. :)

 DVD edition of 'The Deathbed Vigil and other tales of digital angst' 

 Dave Haynie is in the final stages of the preparation of a DVD
edition of 'The Deathbed Vigil and other tales of digital angst'. For
those who've been living, well, in the normal mainstream of modern
life and don't know this, this is the film he made about the end of
Commodore.
 Says Dave: "As usual with DVDs, I've been trying to think of some
useful, interesting, or fun 'extra stuff' to put on the disc. I have
too much stuff, basically, but in my continual search for meaning and
all that crap, I came up with the idea of 'IMPACT '. Basically, with
the Amiga as we know it pretty much moved from the single most
revolutionary personal computer in history to more of a footnote in
history, just what WAS its impact. I can play with words, but the
question is too large, and too personal, for just one input. So I've
decided to solicit answer to this basic question: what was/is the
Amiga's impact. On you, on the industry, on life on earth. I know a
piece of it. Some of you may have more to add. So, here's the game.
Think of it as a contest, or whatever. Simply put, you write up a
paragraph; something succinct, or you'll get edited, even if I like
what you said. It needs to fit on one 4:3 TV frame at NTSC resolution,
in quasi-readable type.
 "Send whatever you like to me at dhaynie@jersey.net. Put "[DBV]" in
the subject, and your preferred name at the end. I'll put the best
ones on the DVD."

Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper

four-in-one controller for
emulation support


 The third generation of Catweasel controllers shows again that
Catweasel has always been a bit more than just a floppy controller. If
you have started an emulator on a modern computer, you'll know that a
lot of things are different from the original machine. The new
computer can't read the original disks, the old joysticks don't fit,
and the keyboard has a lot of keys in a place that you're not used to.
Once you have adjusted to the new situation, bad sound effects or
music that just doesn't sound like what you've heard over and over
again more than ten years ago spoils the party.
 
 Catweasel MK3 solves all of these problems.
 
 As the name already tells, it's a PCI board for modern PCs, MACs and
the new computers AmigaOne and Pegasos. The surname "Flipper" suggests
that there's more to this interface. The new Catweasel is a so-called
flipcard, it can be plugged into the Zorro-slot of a classic-Amiga.
Even if you don't have one of these bus systems, there's another
connector for the clock-port of an Amiga 1200 - a small pin header on
the
 
 motherboard of the computer that's connected with a cable.
 
 The main purpose of the Catweasel has always been to allow access to
non-standard disks using normal PC-diskdrives, even if you usually
need a completely different computer for that. The capacity of the
drive does not matter in this case: A 5,25 inch drive with 1,2MByte
capacity will read and write a C-64 disk with 170KByte as well as a
3,5 inch drive with 1,44MByte can access a 1,76MByte Amiga disk.
Together with a company that has specialized in data recovery, we're
working on the implementation of more than 1100 different disk
formats, and it does not matter that this has been classified
impossible by others before. Even the 800KByte disks from older
Macintosh computers can be used in standard 1,44MB drives, although
the original drives have rotated their disks at variable speeds. You
can get a complete overview over the supported formats in the
technical data. Even if the format you desire is not yet supported, it
only requires a driver update to get new features out of the
controller.

 To bring the real feeling of the old games to new computers, the
Catweasel MK3 has two connectors for so-called digital joysticks. This
is the type of joystick that has been used by many computers of the
80s like C-64, VIC-20, Atari and Amiga. The connector was the same on
all these computers: A 9-pin Sub-D. Analog joysticks of that time
(so-called paddles) can also be used.
 
 Emulation does not necessarily mean to bring nostalgia to your
computer. AmigaOS XL and Amithlon bring an operating system to the
PC-world that is superior to the mainstream systems in many respects.
A lot of users of that software wanted to use real Amiga keyboards on
the PC, that's why the Catweasel MK3 has a mini-DIN connector for an
A4000 keyboard. If you want to use an A2000 or A3000 keyboard, this
can be done with a PS2 adapter that should be available in good
PC-shops.
 
 Last but not least, the Catweasel MK3 has an option to use the
original soundchip of the Commodore C-64, also known as SID (Sound
Interface Device). This part of the board has been carefully designed
in order to produce exactly the same sound that the C-64 produced.
There have been other attempts to bring this chip to the PC-world, but
none of them was really satisfying.
 
 Catweasel MK3 does not accept compromise in this matter. Even direct
comparative tests with a real C-64 reveal nearly no differencies. This
is also caused by a real Commodore-Chip that is being used to generate
the SID clock frequency. Luckily, we have a good quantity of these
chips in stock. An additional circuit that is contained on all
Catweasel MK3 can output a fourth voice even out of the later versions
of the SID (type 8580) that could be activated by a software trick on
the old version (type 6581). If you connect the Catweasel MK3 to the
internal CD-connector of your soundcard, you can hear the fourth voice
on a separate channel if you like.

Prices:

Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper: 84,90 EUR
special cable for Amiga 1200: 5,- EUR
Soundchip 6581 or 8580: 20,- EUR

 All prices include the German VAT of 16%. We'll start shipping on
november 25th, 2002.

            N E W   " D Y N A M I T E "   I S   V 2 . 2 

26 Oct., 2002

Requires: 

 Amiga with 68020 or better OS3.x, TCP/IP stack, CyberGraphx/P96 or
AGA with BlazeWCP, MUI3.8, AHI, identify.library 13.x, NList.mcc,
BetterBalance.mcc (optional), XPK V4.0 (optional)
 
 dynAMIte is a bomberman/dynablaster-clone that can be played (only)
over the internet (TCP/IP) by up to 8 players!
 
 This game runs on your WB and thus multitasks happily with all your
other programs, so just try it and become addicted! =)

---------------

 o Fixed a silly bug where a player could have had more than one
remotebomb resulting in hit-galore and serious other problems.
 
 o Active powerups are now displayed in an additional window. See Menu
-> Windows -> Active Power-Ups.
 
 o dynAMIte did not load a newly selected sampleset. Fixed.
 
 o DServer now resets teammode and brings in initial amount of bots
after the last player left the server.
 
 o DServer now also does highscores for teams.
 
 o Added another ARexx command to stop a running game called STOPGAME.
 
 o Added a new ARexx command called DOCHATLINE to DServer. DOCHATLINE
handles the passed string as if it was typed into the chat string
gadget.
 
 o DServer now uses MUI's built in ARexx interface instead of an own
implementation. Because of this I had to change the MUI-Application
base-name to match the old Arexxport name. You have to snapshot some
windows of DServer again.
 
 o Added an option to skip drawing of explosionanimation for blown up
powerups. See "graphics"-menu.
 
 o Added an option to skip redrawing of powerups every 3 frames. See
"graphics"-menu
 
 o Readded SKIPANIMS (skips drawing of bomb explosions) which is now
available from "graphics"-menu.
 
 o dynAMIte crashed on custompuppets if xpkNUKE.library was missing.
Fixed.
 
 o Did some cosmetical changes to DServer prefs.
 
 o Added a button to DServer to log in bots.
 
 o Dead players can't switch slots anymore to get resurrected.
 
 o From now on, dynAMIte uses its own network code
(dynAMIteNET.library) in favour of amarquee.library.
 
 o It's now possible to deactivate any powerup from within DServer.
 
 o If a player used a custompuppet in teammode, the puppetgfx was used
for the whole team the player was in (only in loginscreen). Fixed.
 
 o Removed timestatistics from the bottom of the gamewindow because of
its general usefulness.
 
 o It's now possible to disable smokeeffect used for laser and
kickbombs.
 
 o I've finally rewritten keyboard handling code and removed
dependency on lowlevel.library/GetKey(), so that it's now possible to
control the game from a keyboard connected to a Pegasos. This may also
fix some problems with some keyboard adapters for wintel keyboards.
 
 o Games with one human and n bots caused the gamecounter to be always
decreased by one for every game. Fixed.
 
 o Applied the same changes for timerstuff also to dynAMIte.
 
 o DServer will now save the highscores in a fixed timeinterval
instead of after every game.
 
 o Bots in DServer are now handled by an external client (detonator),
taking load off of DServer.
 
 o When a player logged off during a game, the bombs of this player
left some gfx on the playfield. Fixed.
 
 o Fixed a silly bug in DServer that caused enforcerhits when a user
tried to log into a full/offline server.
 
 o Rewritten timer stuff for DServer to get back some sigs for other
things.
 
 o Shield and other things never ran out for bots. Fixed.
 
 o Observers got games/wins accounted for highscore. Fixed.
 
 o dynAMIte crashed when one of the needed libraries wasn't found.
Fixed.

• Was halten bisherige (und evtl. neue) Anwender davon, ein weiterentwickeltes TurboCalc zu benutzen? Bitte vorerst mal keine Aufzählung von Bedingungen, WAS daran verbessert oder neu implementiert werden sollte - das weiß ich selbst - Sie werden ggfs. dazu noch Gelegenheit bekommen, diese zu äußern!
  
  
• Gibt es Programmierer (oder besser ein Team von Programmierern), die dieses tolle Programm auf Open Source Basis weiter entwickeln KÖNNEN (das Genre ist ja nicht gerade das Einfachste) und WOLLEN? Was ich - als Beta-Tester von Beginn an - an Hilfen und Anregungen bieten kann, würde ich einbringen.

• Fixed the install script (by deleting the History.txt copy action & including the Images directory in the distribution).
• Added Status Window coordinate bookeeping to the AmigaTalk.env file.
• Added more error detection code to initialization of the AmigaTalk screen code so that the Command & Status window will fill whatever screen you select. I've been able to check almost all screen modes that the CyberVision-64D uses (except for 16-bit 1024 * 768, which shows a black screen). AmigaTalk will not let you use a Screen smaller than 640 * 400, so don't try to. If you rename AmigaTalk.env, AmigaTalk will use the coordinates from your Workbench screen (or whatever screen is active).
• Added a ScreenModeID ToolType to the Icon (default: 0x40D20001).
• See AmigaTalk:help/History.guide for the rest.
