Amiga Arena: AmiATLAS, Bonds
Amiga Arena - Special Price Project
In cooperation with the AmiATLAS development team the Amiga Arena make possible
a special price for AmiATLAS 6.
Until and including 20. October 2001 you can preorder AmiATLAS 6 at the special price
of only 99,- DM stead of 109,- DM at the Amiga Arena.
Registering via the Amiga Arena can be done by filling in the survey form at the 'Aktionen' area .
Note: Owners of AmiATLAS 5 might have even cheaper update possibilities since negotiations
were not finished, yet.
AmiATLAS - The Story continues
When the Amiga Arena made possible version 2.0 to be released for free further development of
AmiATLAS was not really sure to be done.
Thanks to good cooperation of Adreas R. (Innovative Software Solutions) and the Amiga Arena
it was possible to find Gerd F. to take the task of further development of AmiATLAS
The more I'm happy about the AmiATLAS development team to able to present version 6
before long.
By this I would like to make you aware that WE (developers, users meaning Amiga users!)
with a bit personal initiative are able to move many a things.
Feedback of any kind is very important to all developers. This issue should not be
underestimated.
The Amiga Arena wishes the AmiATLAs development team much success and hopes that
the users will take this project.
Olaf K. - Amiga Arena
Amiga Arena - Special Price
The special price for Bonds is still valid thru 31. October 2001.

Elbox: Warp3D running on Voodoo3, 4 and 5 in Mediator
Elbox Computer is humbly informing all the Amiga fans
that Warp3D Voodoo drivers for Mediator PCI busboards
are on the release now.
Warp3D drivers prepared by Hyperion Entertainment for
Mediator PCI busboards work flawlessly on PPC & 68k
processors with the following graphic cards:
- Voodoo3 2000/3000,
- Voodoo4 4500,
- Voodoo5 5500.
Warp3D Voodoo drivers are now included in the software
package bundled with all the Mediator PCI busboards.
For all the registered users of Mediator PCI busboards
Warp3D Voodoo drivers are available free of charge
directly and exclusively from Elbox Computer.
Update:
Because of the different comments we have contacted Hyperion and asked for an
official statement that was sent to us just now by
Hans-Jörg Frieden
via email.
Here the official comment of the Warp3D team:
First some facts:
- No member of the Warp3D team owns a Voodoo 4/5.
- We don't have any documentation about it.
- There were never talks about support for Voodoo 4/5. The drivers in their
current form, no matter whether for Prometheus, G-REX or Mediator, was
designed for a Voodoo3/Avenger and are functionally identical.
In general it can't be excluded that the Avenger driver works with other chips
of the Voodoo family. This includes the Banshee as well as the Napalm (VSA-100
of the V4/5). But it is out of question to take on support or guarantee for the
operation in any way. Should it really work (that couldn't be tested by now)
then it is pure chance. And it doesn't need to work with all existing boards or
revisions of the chips.
Should it come out that the drivers really work with the Napalm chips it
will probably count the same for the Prometheus as well as the G-REX busboards.
But: neither Hyperion Entertainment nor the Warp3D team can guarantee in any way
the operating of the drivers with any Napalm based graphics board. As far as we
are concerned we do only deliver support for Voodoo 3.
Ciao,

Michael Burkhardt: Farewell to Hof
Michael Burkhardt, known to many Amiga users by his company IOM Messefilme
and the Amiga controlled video wall on exhibitions, wrote:
»
Dear friends,
now it is official: I change from my lackluster
autonomy to an employment.
Already on Monday I'll move to Berlin 300 km from here,
take a furnished apartment and work for the D.A.V.I.D. GmbH from
Tuesday on.
This decision was a hard step for me and required a great effort.
Especially the last months when a management consultant was helpfully by my
side showed that it would be much better to live and work in a real Media town.
But to move my company would never have been to put through. I never would have
taken this enormous risk. The more happy I was to have found a job now in
the media industry.
At the D.A.V.I.D. GmbH I'll ensure as project engineer planning, technical
support, and network installations for radio stations. This software house is
specialized in applications for radio broadcasting. More details about the company can be
found at www.david-gmbh.de.
I would like to thank all those who have helped me in my period of
autonomy. Of course the company IOM will continue to exist, but I
personally won't have the chance to deal with the management as
my new job requires 100% of my time.
Particularly during the beginning it will become very stressful and it likely will be
hard to contact me. Of course my e-mail address, my mobile phone number
(0171-3296371), and my ICQ will remain the same, but surely I won't be able to answer
immediately in the beginning, however.
In any case thanks to all people who always supported me in continuing
my company. Of course I'm at your disposal for questions during this weekend.
Best regards,
Michael Burkhardt

Instant Messenger: CIM Update for IP-NAT Version 1.04ext
CIM now also works when using an IP-NAT router. Besides that many GUI improvements
had been done. Data transfer is now possible.
CIM is a messaging utility developed by Marius 'Cyborg' Schwarz on the basis of
the small ICMP demo on the
ASP
(Amiga Security Page). PGP is already integrated.
MrMarco (www.highantdev.de) has
kindly made 'Traffic' available on his server. With this everything for a
network similar to ICQ is given. Everybody who wants can log in. The program has
been tested on several Amigas and runs stable. The installation is extremly
easy, so no installation script is needed.
