Magazine: Retro Computing Today
Retro Computing Today - What is the big idea?
There seems to be a growing interest in computers and technology of
yesteryear. With very few publications actually acknowledging this, it
is left to a handful of small magazines to fill the gap, with
profitable publications such as Computer and Video Games dedicating
less than 4 pages to "The Old School". Retro Computing Today aims to
be the one of the first professional publication to cover all topics
regarding this very subject matter, instead of concentrating on one
particular computer or platform, as Commodore Scene does, Retro
Computing Today aims to cover as many topics as there are interests for.
For instance, those people who choose to use a Vic 20 to view web sites
through to the Amiga classic/AmigaOne platform.
Obviously, the more support a particular platform receives, the more of
the magazine will be dedicated to covering it, however, we would hope
to provide some sort of balance, unlike at least 90% of current
publications, whom tend to concentrate on the Windows/XBox platform.
Do you have big ideas yourself?
Details are sketchy at the minute, as the publication is still in early
planning stages. We can confirm the following:
- Launch issue for early May 2002.
- 8 copies a year (1 every 6 weeks). If there is enough demand, we will move
towards 10 copies a year (1 every 5 weeks).
- Website launched soon.
- A sample issue will be available to download.
- Special edition no. 1 will be available to pre-order soon.
So, if you would like to shape this publication, please email me with
your suggestions or comments.
If you would like to write any articles for the launch issue, please forward
them in .txt format, with the subject matter as Submissions 092246. We would
appreciate greatly any help we can get.
Thank you for reading,
Shaun/Retro Computing Today -
retrocomtoday@aol.com.

Amiga Arena: Interview with Grzegorz Tanski (Kray Raytracer)
From the beginning of this year a new freeware "scene" raytraycer is under
development - "Kray".
The Amiga Arena talked to Grzegorz Tanski about why this development was started and
what we may expect for the future. There are other programs and interesting
demo versions of a 3D soccer game on his homepage. As the Amiga Arena came to know,
Grzegorz Tanski really is interested in developing high quality software, if
there is qualified hardware.

The Kickstart Archives V1.3
With permission of Alex Lupták, Gregory Donner and Ian Chapman you can now also browse through the newest versions of hardware reference Lex Site (ca. 80 MB), the Workbench Nostalgia and the Big Book of Amiga Hardware (ca. 90 MB) offline.
Changes:
- updated: Workbench Nostalgia of Gregory Donner (07/01/2002)
- updated: The Big Book of Amiga Hardware of Ian Chapman (27/12/2001)
- updated: Lex Site of Alex Lupták (21/11/2001)
- added: Haynie's Garage Sale!
- added: User Guides, Manuals, Service Manuals as PDF-files
- Commodore A590 Service Manual
- Commodore A1060 User's Guide
- Commodore A2088/2286 Manual
- updated: Search index for client offline search engine
Dave Haynie gave the permission using the pictures and texts of his eBay-offer "Haynie's Garage Sale!". These sites contain interesting background information of many products and prototypes of the Commodore's developing department.
Amiga, Inc. (Vince Pfeifer) and MacroSystem Digital Video AG (Ibrahim Tertemiz) gave the permission to publish manuals of their products as PDF-files on the CD. Manuals of XiPaint, Samplitude and MovieShop of MacroSystem are not included. The first manuals are included but more producers and manuals will follow.
The index of the search engine allows you search for headwords of all new sites which were added. For using it you must have a browser with full JavaScript support. This function offers none of the presently available Amiga browsers. Therefore you have to use different operating systems. Of course the link page works fine on each system. Unfortunately under Linux there are some restrictions because at the beginning the use of small/capital letters when creating files has been neglected.
You can look at all PDF-files on Amiga with the help of the current version of Apdf. THE KICKSTART ARCHIVES costs USD/EUR 10,- (without transport costs, Germany EUR 1,50, Europe EUR 3,- and worldwide USD 3,- normal and USD 5,- air mail). You have to pay USD/EUR 5,- (without transport costs) for updating your old version.

Elbox: VHI Studio - Mediator drivers
Elbox Computer is happy to announce availability of new drivers
for the Mediator busboard.
For users of the Mediator PCI for Amiga 1200 and Mediator PCI
for Amiga 4000 busboards with the Mediator Multimedia CD package,
drivers have been released as of today for the VHI Studio software.
These drivers have been prepared by Elbox Computer programmers.
VHI Studio produced by
Innovative, is a
video-editing and snapshot-software
including webcam- and timelapse-support and featuring (PPC-supported)
highspeed-MPEG-compression and realtime-preview-facilities.
It currently supports all major digitizer-boards and DigiCams on
the AMIGA and is the most popular digitizing and recording-software
on the AMIGA-market.
Using the VHI Studio program, users of TV cards in Mediator may
now grab and edit snapshots and video sequences from broadcast
and cable TV and any other signal sources connected to the input
of the TV tuner card, for example: video cameras, TV SAT tuners,
DVD players and VCR players.
All you need is:
Mediator PCI busboard
TV tuner card
Voodoo graphic card
VHI Studio software
Enjoy snapshots and videos to your heart's content.
More creativity. More fun.
