Hardware: Internal CD-rewriter + DVD-Rom drive PlexCombo 20/10/40/-12A
Although the
PlexWriter 40/12/40A
was only released in Germany a little while ago, Plextor has topped this rewriter
by releasing the CD-ReWriter + DVD-Rom Drive PlexCombo 20/10/40/-12A (title link).
It is the first rewriter of the 10x RW generation which can be installed
as a DVD-Rom drive.
The new drive describes CD-R with 20x zone CLV, CD-RWs with 10x CLV,
it reads CDs with up to 40x CAV and DVD with 12x (16.2 MB/s).
It has a data buffer of 2 MB and is based on BurnProof technology.
The price hasn't been fixed yet.

Hardware: CD-rewriter Plextor: 40x rewriter for the ATAPI interface
As already reported on
2 February 2002, Plextor is now offering a 40x rewriter for the
ATAPI interface (E-IDE). Here just a brief update by Mirko Naumann:
The PlexWriter 40/12/40A is now also available in Germany. The price of
the bulk version (drive, instruction book, PlexTools, E-IDE (ATAPI) cable
and audio cable) is around 215,-EUR while the retail version with additional
5 CD-R, 1CD-RW, the PC-Sofware Nero + InCD and a few installation screws costs
around 230,-EUR. According to US advertisements you can write a CD-R
in about 3 minutes. In any case this is probably the fastest and best
equipped CD rewriter on the market. Other companies have only stocked
32x and 36x rewriters. In addition, the PlexWriter can easily create
security copies (1:1) of copy-protected CDDAs such as BravoHits 34.

Functional AmigaOne was presented on alt.WOA
According to a brief message from alt.WOA which Don Cox has posted on
the AmigaOne mailing list (English original available via the title
link) a fully functional AmigaOne was presented at the fair.
"I've just returned from Alt WOA in Huddersfield.
It might interest you that Alan Redhouse received a fully functional
AmigaOne motherboard this morning, which he presented at the fair.
It seems that Escena had Linux run on this board (until OS4 is ready).
The motherboard seems to be working fine although Alan only managed to
get the booting process up-and-running up to the BIOS in the short
period of time that was available to him.
The specifications have really been improved compared to earlier versions.
The production of the motherboard begins in six weeks.
The announced (estimated) price was really reasonable. I think that Alan
will let you know the details very soon."

Magic Menu v2.34
Today has Magic Menu version 2.34 been released that now has among other things
direct Amithlon support. Enjoy it.
Magic Menu is a commodity that strongly enhances Intuition menus of the Amiga in
many ways. On the first start one surely recognises immediately the new modern
and three-dimensional look of the menus. But that isn't all. Furthermore offers
Magic Menu the possibility of so called pop-up menus i.e. menus that are
activated at any given point on the screen appear at just this point. In
addition offers Magic Menu a very comfortable menu control via keyboard if
needed.
