New FAQ Page for HIGHWAY / SUBWAY
E3B is offering a compilation of frequently-asked questions (and answers) on their website. If you have USB problems they recommend that you first take a quick look there, perhaps the problem is already known and may be easily solved.
This FAQ is offered as support for customer service. If you have problems or questions E3B is also available by email, of course! (ps) (Translation: dm)

Haage & Partner Website Revised
The webpage of Haage & Partner has been completely revised. At the first glance it seems that Amiga will not play a big role at H&P
in the future. The resisted decline of the Amiga market is apparent. The Amiga pages are there as they were before, but the principle
focus of H&P is now visibly in other areas. (ps) (Translation: dm)

No Soldering Required: Radeon 9500 Conversion to Radeon 9700
Driver patch enables functions only offered by more expensive products. After the Russian website Overclockers.ru publicized a modification in which one could change a Radeon 9500 with 128 megs RAM to a better-performing Radeon 9700 with a BIOS update and a bit of solder, the story continued: tinkerers found new ways to do the same thing without any hardware modification nor warranty voiding, although there are a few restrictions.

Amiga Inc. Website Covered in Computeractive's Netcharts
The website of Amiga Inc. has landed in the "Netcharts" section of the English-language computer newspaper 'Computeractive.' The website is described as follows:
www.amiga.com
Unlike the rest of the 1980s home computer systems such as the Sinclair
Spectrum and Commodore 64 that went west during the early 1990s, the
Amiga is still reasonably common. All sorts of software and applications
are still being developed and Amigas are still widely used to create
video effects for TV and film. (ps) (Translation: dm)

amiga-news.de tries new ways of financing
The costs for amiga-news.de were covered by banner ads only. Due to the stagnation of the Amiga market it became more and more difficult during the last year to find paying clients for these banner ads.
With Martin Wolf of Eternity
we try from today on a new kind of advertisements. amiga-news.de sets up a banner for a product, in this case 'Tales of Tamar', and for every purchase that was done via this banner amiga-news.de gets a provision.

No Amiga to Waste: Ideas wanted!
This page can be used as a source of ideas for coder. If you have a real good idea
for a program on the Amiga that should be programmed you can post it here, and maybe
a coder will take it and make it.
Coders for the Amiga are rar nowadays but some are still looking for ideas or asking
what programmes are needed.
The last entry was taken years ago, so I wanted to get some attention to it again. (Translation: gf)
