ScanQuix for USB scanners
The known scan software is now also available in a version for USB scanners. The software package "ScanQuix USB" is based on the proven software "ScanQuix 5" and works with the scanners "HP ScanJet 2200c" and "Epson Perfection 1250". Next to the drivers for these scanners is among other things software for saving, printing and post-processing of the scanned pictures as well as there is for easy creating photo copies.

"ScanQuix USB" needs an USB card with the Poseidon USB stack (e.g. HIGHWAY by E3B). Because of the teamwork with E3B and Chris Hodges (Poseidon) who have actively supported the project is a flawless use also via the USB connection guaranteed.

"ScanQuix USB" is available at Vesalia Computer. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Amiga Quake2 Page Online
In cooperation with Daniel Schultz: an Amiga Quake 2 webpage has been started, on which additional material regarding Quake 2 for AmigaOS will be published in the future - such as new mods and levels, whether created by users or downloaded from the server.

Originally there were 41 Quake 2 mods for AmigaOS. Since then there have been another 20 mods. These additional mods will be downloadable from the Quake2 page. So there will be 2 or 3 mods offered for download weekly, just check the page and don't miss them.

To start off, the following three mods are offered:
  • ChaosDM - one of the best Deathmatch mods for Quake 2
  • Star Trek - contains the entire Enterprise as a level (and new weapons)
  • Bots - "Battle of the Sexes" - a CTF Mod, based on classes, in which a male team and a female team go up against each other.
The requirements to be able to use these mods are that you must have Quake2 for Amiga installed. Quake2 is available from retailers now.

Quake2 Amiga Port Available
On the 2nd of November 2002 at the WOASE convention in London, Quake 2 for AmigaOS officially went on sale. The game was demonstrated in a "Death Match" between three Amigas. It ran a custom level which was specially created for the convention. The network server was a PC, in order to demonstrate that PC users and Amigans may play in the same TCP/IP multiplayer network, however naturally an Amiga could also be used as a server. The Quake2 packet for Amiga contains an easy-to-use installer script, a startup GUI, and documentation in AmigaGuide format, including the original version of Quake2 for Windows, which contains the data files.

Over 55 Quake2 mods are to be offered for Quake2 through different channels, including the Internet.

Quake2 for AmigaOS will become available from your local Amiga dealer sometime this week. The price may vary from dealer to dealer.
