TV software: AmithlonTV beta version 229
Guido Mersmann published beta version 229 of the TV card driver software AmithlonTV.
- CHANGED:
Complete rework of the current video_bt8x8.lib.
Many routines replaced, improved or completly removed.
- BUGFIX:
Fixed a memory allocation problem. The video_bt8x8.lib didn't
work on non powerpci.library systems, now this is fixed.
- BUGFIX:
TVCard.library is now able to detect the Philips video chip
which is using the pci subclass "other" instead of video.
- FEATURE:
New option "Push in screen"! When using PowerWindows you're
able to drag windows out of the screen, which is very useful.
My TV window is placed at the right bottom of the screen by
default. When using the menu/hotkey to enlarge the window it
stays there and grows into the screen border. By using the new
option the window position is automaticaly changing to fit
on screen.

Just stumbled across the above mentioned site. Don't know if this has already been posted here but it seems to me to be interesting for all Internet users.
Some words about the content:
"The Bundesrat has decided concerning a bill that intends the saving of all available data in the area of the classic telecommuncations (calling via cellphone and mobile cell phone, SMS, fax etc.) as well as all data available on the Internet on stock. The goal is to make it possible for the secret services and the offices for prosecution to find data they can access if is needed. Details shall not be handled in form of laws but through the Federal Government via a statuory instrument."

Conrad Elektronik: USB/Firewire to IDE interface
At Conrad Elektronik you can buy an interface for USB/FireWire to
IDE. With this interface it shall be possible to run an external IDE tower with hard disks for example via the USB interface card Highway. This interface handles on the IDE side ATA and ATAPI (PIO 0-4 and UDMA 0-4).
Interesting though is the question whether this interface can work also in the other direction. IDE to USB/FireWire.
Supplement:
Link to the interface removed as they use with single session IDs. So all interested have to wade through to the interface's page themselves.

Replacing floppy discs with MiniCD-RW
The company Memorex will offer from Februar 2003
on rewritable CDs for the waistcoat with 8 cm in diameter as a replacement for the floppy discs. The small CD-RW that can be rewritten up to 1.000 times and can contain a maximum of 210 MB of data is suitable for mobile
users. The Pocket CD-RW fits in every pocket and therefore suits perfectly for the mobile use, e.g. in the laptop, MP3 player or in the digital camera. Using the standard audio compression mode MPEG you can record 210 minutes of music. They are said to be available from February on for a price of 6,99 Euros for five Pocket CD-RWs in a slim jewel case.

Unlike the rest of the 1980s home computer systems such as the Sinclair
Spectrum and Commodore 64 that went west during the early 1990s, the
Amiga is still reasonably common. All sorts of software and applications
are still being developed and Amigas are still widely used to create
video effects for TV and film.

The costs for amiga-news.de were covered by banner ads only. Due to the stagnation of the Amiga market it became more and more difficult during the last year to find paying clients for these banner ads.
With Martin Wolf of Eternity
we try from today on a new kind of advertisements. amiga-news.de sets up a banner for a product, in this case 'Tales of Tamar', and for every purchase that was done via this banner amiga-news.de gets a provision.
