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.

The time that we already rented on the assembly machines is put to good use: In the past days, the last networking card for the C64 "RR-Net" has been sold, so there would have been a delivery bottleneck if the new production run would have been started as planned early 2005. The second production run of RR-Net networking cards can now be brought forward, so the network-bundle for the C64 that we're offering since September 2003 is kept available without any interruption.

Developer Oliver Achten has finished his first product that will be produced by individual Computers: MMC64 is an MMC- and SD-card interface for the C64 computer. It uses the multimedia and Secure Digital flash cards that are known from the PDA world. That means that after you power up the computer, you can access any MMC or SD card that's FAT16-formatted - up to the size of 4GB! The built-in flashable BIOS with integrated file browser allows the user to load games and other programs, play SID-files with the built-in player, or write D64 images to a floppy drive.

MMC64 has a clockport for expansions like RR-Net, and a pass-through for other expansion cards. This pass-through is 100 % compatible with the Retro Replay - both expansions can be used in their full functionality at the same time. MMC64 will be available for 49,- EUR starting February 2005, and will be demonstrated for the first time at the TUM party in Hemsbach, Germany (December 27th to 29th, 2004). (cg) (Translation: cg)

AROS: Bounty #18 (IPC bridge) finished
Team AROS-Bounty #18, an IPC bridge, was finished by Martin Blom and honored with a reward of 200 US dollars.

The task was as follows:
  • Creation of a dbus.library for AROS, that makes an exchange via dbus between the IPC systems of AROS and Linux/BSD possible
  • Layout of the dbus.library for AROS versions hosted on Linux/BSD systems with the possibility of a further development for a clean AROS system in mind
  • Test via the use of KDE DCOP IPC for the communication with and the control of some KDE programs from AROS using the dbus.library and Linux-dbus

AHT Europe: MIDI interfaces for Amiga, Pegasos and PCs
Birmingham, Dec. 11 2004 - AHT Europe Ltd. are pleased to announce the immediate availability of their first Amiga products: MIDI interfaces for the Commodore Amiga as well as the Pegasos and standard PCs. (PDF version)

The MIDI interface Vivaldi  (photo) supports standard MIDI transfer through the game port (MPU401), either on-board or on a PCI card. It is suitable for all operating systems that support standard MIDI transfer over the game port and has been successfully tested with standard MIDI software under MorphOS/Pegasos, Linux and Windows (including Bars'n'Pipes under WinUAE). The Vivaldi  MIDI interface provides the following connectors: 1 x MIDI IN, 1 x MIDI THRU, 3 x MIDI OUT (synchronised).

The MIDI interface Trivaldi  (photo) is a tripleplay MIDI interface for Commodore Amiga computers. It has three asynchronous MIDI OUT ports, which means that each port can have its own MIDI range of 16 channels. With Bars'n'Pipes you can therefore address 48 MIDI channels. The Trivaldi  connects to the Amiga serial port.

Each MIDI interface comes with a manual, a CD-ROM and a 2 year warranty period. The CD-ROM contains drivers as well as the free sequencer software Bars'n'Pipes with all add-ons, the utility Directory Opus 4 and more.

The advisory retail pricing incl. VAT is 39.95 Euro (Vivaldi) and 49.95 Euro (Trivaldi), respectively. Both interfaces are available now. Dealer inquiries are welcome.

About AHT Europe:
AHT Europe Ltd. is a British company formed in 2004 and based in Birmingham, with offices in Germany and the Netherlands. Current products include a PowerPC set-top box for digital video broadcasting, personal video-recording and video-on-demand. (cg)
