Catweasel MK4 delayed, C64 products on time
Bad news first: Unfortunately, one of our suppliers did not ship in time, so the production of the Catweasel MK4
could not start at the planned time. Due to this delay, we can't ensure that all our customers will have the controller under their Christmas tree. The soonest day of shipment is December 23rd, but it's more probable that shipping starts between Christmas and the new year.

DKG II: author asks for speed tests
Within the game "Die kleine Gilde II" it's in the meantime possible to play MP3 files in the background. But the problem arises that this is apparently reserved to UAE, Amithlon and probably to AmigaOne and Pegasos systems (the latter ones haven't been tested yet). A real Amiga with 060 processor already seems to be to slow for this, there are lags and distortion while playing the MP3 files, the opening of windows may be slowed down.
