`22.Mar.2003` Olaf Köbnik (email)	Amiga Arena: Interview with Steffen Schiller (Fahrschule 99) A few days ago was the once low cost program "Fahrschule 99" released for free download by its developer Steffen Schiller. Other than the name is suggesting it's not an old program but "Fahrschule 99" offers to all those who are doing their theoretical driving licence or who just want to update their knowledge the up-to-date data for the classes B and A. Here it shows once again that the Amiga sector offers actual applications that are not only for free but also cover topics that are suitable for the daily use. the only drop of bitterness for todays Amiga users will be the fact that "Fahrschule 99" is made for an Amiga 500 and PAL screen mode. As especially this kind of normal use software is so important for the future of the new Amiga generation to cover a wide area of themes spoke Olaf Köbnik to Steffen Schiller about the future of "Fahrschule 99". The result is the 100th interview Olaf Köbnik (Amiga Arena) has done who already told us that the 101st interview with another interesting and actual company is in the works.

`19.Mar.2003` Mirko Naumann (E-Mail)	Article: The new generation of CDR/CDRW writers With the start of the CeBIT the new generation of the 5x-times IDE CDR/CDRW writer has been introduced to the market. Along with the higher writing speeds for CDRs and CDRWs all writers include technologies to avoid buffer underruns by standard now and are capable of the mount rainier standard, which should replace floppy disks as data carrier medium. _Mitsumi_ The current top edge is the Mitsumi CR 485F TE (54x 32x 54x speed) drive. The best features of this ultraspeed rewriter include the integrated MITSUMI Aegis write technology for best writing results. Aegis write controls and optimizes the laser strength, checks the writing speed and performs during the writing process a quality check for a safe burn. Availability: from April. Price: about 99 Euro. _Plextor_ The new Plexwriter Premium (52x 32x 52x speed) works with an improved optical unit which offers a better signal sharpness between the pits and lands, so capacity of mediums can be increased up to 40%. So a 700 MB disk is capable of up to 1 GB. For a better compatibility Plextor says to extend the disk capacity only about 20%. To reduce the drive sounds the speed of the drive can be downgraded by the user individually. Availability: from April. Price: about 199 Euro. _LG Electronics_ For all who think about to get a new CDRW as well as a DVD-ROM LG presents the new combo drive GCC-4520B (16x + 52x 24x 52x). Beside all common CD/CDRW formats the drive can read DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW media. The maximum read speed for these media is 16x which is about 21 MB/s. Availability: from April. Price: not published yet. _Cyberdrive_ With the CW099D (52x 24x 52x) Cyberdrive offers a high sped writer now. The device works in the CAV mode and thus needs less than 2.5 minutes for a complete CD-R and for a CD-RW only about 3.5 minutes. The device can handle the raw DAO mode with 96 subchannel bytes and thus offers backup copies of protected CDs. Extra long CDRs with 90 or 99 minutes are supported also. Availability: from now on. Price: about 99 Euros. (ps) (Translation: ub) [News message: 19. Mar. 2003, 12:07] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
