Interview with Petro Tyschtschenko: "I still have loads of fun" In an interview with the online mag amiga.topcool.de, Vice President Petro Tyschtschenko talks about his private live, the OS3.5 sales, two new staff members in Braunschweig, and that he won't give up (despite dwindling numbers of Amiga users; he estimates there are 80 to 100 thousand worldwide, and about 20,000 in Germany).

C64 Specialists wanted (repost) Note from the translator: This is a repost, since I fumbled with the layout of the original post. Sorry. (mb) Did the C64 work its charm on you fifteen years ago just like us? Well, probably the Amiga did that...? The Commodore is out of production. But in the eighties, it was the favourite toy of that generation. Today, it is catching dust in the basement or is used by a few musicians as strange sound machine. But perhaps you can help us on our search. Perhaps you know exactly the people we have to ask. WHO WE ARE? We are two communications designers from Wiesbaden who grew up with the old C64. We were constantly blamed for wasting our time with that "thing", instead of doing important things. We now catch up on this. :-) WHAT'S THE PLAN? We want to publish our Thesis by the end of 2000: "Commodore 64 Culture" (working title), researching this phenomenon. We want to show the culture that grew around the C64, and still exists today: The 8-bit machine as stange sound machine, nostalgic toy, collector's item. Experimental, playful, multimedia. The accompaining CD-ROM will contain well-known songs as well as C64 emulators for PC and Mac. A webpage is also planned, elaborating on the multimedia part of the book and linking to other C64 pages. WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN We are interested in the world accompaining the C64: The history, technical details, sales numbers, press reviews, games, crackers, hackers, first office applications, copy parties, the marketing drive of Commodore, the demo scene, today's SID-Chip fans, the self build hardware extensions, banner printing orgies, computer "summer camps", the booming software industry of the 80ies, waiting for datasettes, sore fingers while typing listings and what is left of that today. WHAT DO WE WANT FROM YOU? Of course we have to do research. We need your help with that. We are collecting opinions, details, background information, documentation from journalists, fans and developers. From the submissions, we will create the compendium of the C64 culture. We are looking for every detail around the "bread box": Every contact suggestion, whom to talk to, every website we can look at. And of course your story. HOW TO START? If you are interested in the project, contact us. Forefront, we want to know what kind of C64 user you have been or still are. Please describe in a few sentences what you did back then. Of course we are curious about any kind of stories. And of course we are looking for the answers to the most important question: Why, do you think, has the C64 been so successful, and what did it start? Afterwards, we will contact you, and would be happy if you could answer us a couple of questions. If you know someone who is as interested in this subject as we are, send him this e-mail. In any case, you can subscribe to our mailing list, if you want to know about our project's progress. DEADLINE Submissions should be send until end of April, since our thesis has a definite deadline. Many thanks for your attention and help. Contact: Oliver Weiller +49-(0)611 / 90 11 822 Matthias Schäfer +49-(0)611 / 81 00 294 c64thecult@hotmail.com (Translation: mb) [News message: 07.

ProStationAudio Millennium Demo available The Millennium demo includes a full implementation of iRec, live audio streaming capabilities. Thanks to iRec, the ProStationAudio mixing console input (RecBus) can be switched between a local audio board or a remote audio server, accessible via Internet or a LAN. Once connected (Miami or compatible TCP stack required), iRec lets you record live streams. During the streaming process, ProStationAudio allows you to monitor the incoming signal and record direct-to-disk. (Translation: mb) [News message: 06.

ASM-Pro source code released Asm-Pro is now Open Source. Here is your chance to do something about those annoying bugs that don't seem to get fixed.. Download the source and track them down. I hope this helps out the users that have been waiting for new updates of Asm-Pro. I myself have no more serious developer time left for this project next to my job. For those who didn't know: Asm-Pro is a complete solution for writing mc680x0 assembler programs on our Amiga. For more information check out my webpage at: http://surf.to/asmpro (titlelink).

AHX Ripper News Kåre Johansen recently released the absolutely last version of his AHX-Ripper (THX-Ripper) on his homepage. Since many of the favourite module ripper are outdated and/or no longer in development, Kåre plans to write a new ripper (Serial Ripper). This one will offer a fuctional MUI- (perhaps ClassAct, AmigaOS3.5) interface and support as many sound formats as possible. Since this is impossible without support from people with the knowledge about the many sound formats, Kåre has opened a mailing list especially for this project. Subscribe at www.onelist.com/group/sripper/ or send an e-mail to sripper-subscribe@onelist.com. Of course Kåre is also open for further suggestions and tips. (Translation: mb) [News message: 06.

Hyperion to port SIN to Amiga and Linux Hyperion has aquired the license to port "SIN" by Activision Inc. to the Amiga and Linux platforms. "We are working on completing our Amiga port of Activisions Heretic 2", says Ben Hermans, Manager of Hyperion. Like Heretic 2, SIN bases on IDs Quake 2, so Hyperion is optimistic that the port can be completed by second quarter 2000. The Amiga version requires a PPC (WarpOS), and will support Warp3D by Hyperions OpenGL implementation. (Translation: mb) [News message: 06.

AFD-Copyright News The AFD-COPYRIGHT Official Support Site had just today its 1000th visitor! This shows that there still is interest in the "Standard Amiga FD-Software Copyright Note". The recent visitor boom happened partly due to the fact that so many Amiga News sites reported about the latest release. Thanks to all news-webmasters for your support! I collected some of the sites on the page "What's New?" If you are interested, you can visit the AFD-Homepage at: http://AFD.home.pages.de/ (title link). The list of news sites even includes one in Russia - and a Russian translation will be released as the 15th language soon! Keep the momentum going! Thanks! (Translation: mb) [News message: 04.

MorphOS status After MorphOS got attention by small pictures on their homepage (AmigaNews reported), there is now a small status report on the project itself: We are currently working on rewriting as many elemental parts of the AmigaOS as possible directly in PowerPC code. The tests of the 68k emulation have been finished already for some time, and it works reliable with Workbench 3.1 and 3.5. CyberGraphX, the CS PPC SCSI driver, the CDrive CD-ROM file system and other stuff has almost completely been ported natively, to achieve best possible performance even on the current CS PPC card generation. The ppc.library has also been completed in a full PowerPC version (means the former 68k part is native, too), so direct compatibility to PowerUP software is ensured, and available software is working directly without special MorphOS adjustments. For software adhering to the original PowerUP specs there shouldn't be a problem at all. Since everything is running directly on the PowerPC CPU, the infamous CPU context switches for 68k AmigaOS are removed, so PowerUP software is frequently running faster. Programs with many I/O accesses or graphics output via AmigaOS can profit from this. We are just now testing several PowerUP software products, and will soon publish a guideline as well as a list of successfully tested software, so PowerUP software can employed under MorphOS without problems. We are working on a developer release; due to several hardware defects, the release date was sadly delayed. (Translation: mb) [News message: 04.

Working title: "Audiomaster 2000" Frank Fenn (Bright Light Software) writes: We (Michael Ulbrich and myself) have taken on the sources of AudioStream, which were released on Aminet. The goal is to create an easy-to-use, not too complex sample tool in the style of the classic Audiomaster IV. We consciously don't implement special functions like 2D/3D spectrograms, since they are of little use for the home user. Some features are (or are planned):
