New superbundle registrations for Pegasos-I-Boards without serial number end
On 14 March 2004 the new superbundle registrations for Pegasos-I-Boards without serial number
will end. If you should have a Pegasos-I-Board without serial number und if you should not
have ordered your superbundle then please do it as soon as possible.
Owners of a Pegasos II or of a Pegasos I with serial number are not concerned.
After expiration of the mentioned time as a owner of a Pegasos I without serial number
you will still only have the possibility to get the superbundle by registering
your Pegasos at an authorized Genesi agent.

The SN-EuroArchiv V1.2 is online at my new homepage which is reachable at
http://www.sn-archive.privat.t-online.de

At the homepage there is also information and a picture available regarding the
real time economy simulation "Die Kleine Gilde II" which is still under development. The game will
see its first release in about a good four weeks.

commemorative coins, coin rolls and "starterkits" in a simple way. It is possible to view the collection
in tables and statistics to help to complete the collection.

- Save and print of annual table added
- Table with number and value of the coins sorted by country (country statistics)
- Look up possibility for the auction value of the collection within the project window
- Nominal value count statistic added
- Accurate numbers within the collectors value statistics

First version of Arjuna, new Windows drivers for Catweasel
Arjuna is a modular, expandable solution to access floppy disks from many
different systems. It supports the Catweasel controller to read and write
formats not compatible with the standard PC controller. Arjuna is written in
C++ and uses Qt for its GUI. The project by Christoph 'Doc Bacardi' Thelen
now has its own homepage and a mirror on our webspace. The first version 0.6beta is available for download there.
Arjuna is a project that reaches very far into the past, digging deep into
almost forgotten knowledge about data storage. At the same time it focusses
on the future as a universal tool for data restauration and conversion. Hoping to find a lot of developers to contribute floppy disk formats, Christoph is trying to make this a Sourceforge project.
The Windows version of Arjuna needs an updated driver for the Catweasel to work properly. Download this version here (87 KB, experimental). (snx)
