ARC 2002 News: New hardware vendor "Creative Development"
The recently founded company Creative Development will presumably show a new USB card called Ultrabus for classic Amiga computers at the AMIGA + RETRO COMPUTING 2002 show at the booth of Vesalia. "Ultrabus" has got four USB ports and can be used in Zorro Amigas as well as on the clockport of an Amiga 1200. In Zorro mode, a flash memory with 512k capacity can hold the complete USB stack, so USB devices are available right after a cold boot. This enables booting from USB storage devices. (ps)

Amiga Arena: Lotto / BabeAnoid News / Aqua-Demo
BabeAnoid:
Many of you will still remember the demo version of the Breakout clone "BabeAnoid" by Richard Fhager. After he stopped the development due to disappointing feedback, I am pleased to be able to announce that the work was taken up again and even an other PD game will be developed. Richard Fhager is among other things well-known as the author of games like "Dawn video Poker", "Titris", "Spaceball2000". I can appeal only again and again to you to send a short E-Mail to the developers if you like one of the mentioned programs!

Aqua - Demoversion Light
A new demo version of the adventure "Aqua" is now available. This playable demo (9MB) contains no animations and intros. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Tool: UniView V40.9 Update, SDK dtwindow.class
Stefan Ruppert:
After some time of beeing away from the Amiga (due to time lacking and defective hardware) I have found the time to release a small update for the MultiView replacement program UniView. This update does not add any additional functionality. The following modifications were made:

  • Some adjustments and smaller optimizations in dtwindow.class.
  • Documentation adapted.
  • UniView is Shareware without restrictions. Fee US 10$ or 10 EURO.
  • Documentation of dtwindow.class created.
  • SDK dtwindow.class


P.S.: The server is connected via DSL, thus please do not expect fast downloads... Additionally I would like to publish my Amiga programs and also source codes on my server. However this can take some time... (ps) (Translation: sk)

freeCD: Almost Real, Digital Postcard System, Racer
With 'Almost Real - The Directors Cut' (Amiga), a new CD has been released in the freeCD series. The 'Digital Postcard System' (WWW) allows deferred sending of holiday cards, and the CD 'Racer' (Linux, Mac, Windows) is announced for February 2003. In case of enough interest, a port of this car simulation to Amiga systems is possible.

Almost Real - The Directors Cut (Amiga)
This CD contains flight simulations and further material on the theme of flying. In this version, the flight simulation 'flightcontrol' has been added. Additionally there are now paper models of various military aircraft as well as photos of the Airbus A320 and the Ju52.

Digital Postcard System (WWW)
This system allows to write the holiday cards already before leaving and later have them sent automatically by the computer.

Photos of Argentine, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Italy, Belgium, animals, general places as well as greeting cards are included. Furthermore, own photos may be uploaded.

Racer (Linux, Mac, Windows)
'Racer' is a simulation for cars, which very accurately simulates different cars from the domains classics, race cars and street cars. The cars can be tested on tracks like Indianapolis and Le Mans.

Expected release date for this CD is February 2003 for Linux, Mac and Windows. AmigaOS and MorphOS developers interested in a conversion are welcome and may contact freeCD.

Further information on the products as well as supply sources are accessible through the title link. (sd) (Translation: cb)

Route planner: AmiATLAS 6 - new version for ARC 2002
The AmiATLAS Development Team writes:
"A new version of AmiATLAS 6 will be released for the Aachen show!

Although over the last months most of the remaining Amiga users have been very reserved in their purchase behaviour, probably not least of all hoping for new hardware, work on AmiATLAS 6 has been going on continuously...

For the show, a new edition will be released with fully updated (as per 4th quarter 2002) and expanded data stock. Now, among other things, with the most current touristic information and some more, like infos about number plates of all supported countries. That's an increase of about 200%, compared to the old version!

Not forgetting the updated map material, e.g. Germany now with the complete Autobahn network with all clearances until end of 2002!

In the program itself, lots of reported bugs have been fixed and some optimisations implemented, and of course, as far as possible, some users' wishes realised. Supported languages now are German, English, French and Italian.

The new version of AmiATLAS 6 including new improved cover design has already been shipped in sufficient quantities to KDH Datentechnik and IOSPIRIT for sale at the show. APC & TCP will also have some copies.

Due to organisational reasons, updates can only be shipped shortly after the show. And of course, as always, only to registered users of AmiATLAS 6.

Please mail requests or wishes to: AmiATLAS@gmx.net" (sd) (Translation: cb)
