V3.61 of ISAcatweasel.device
Just before the finishing of the fair preparations we have managed to
release a new version of the ISAcatweasel.device.
The driver is downloadable from the support area (title link).
Note by Jens Schönfeld:
The driver is "blindly" programmed, I therefore ask the users with a working
Amithlon system to try the device. For the time being it is only possible to
read from disks, the writing is locked yet (floppy disks appear as being write
protected).

amiga-topcool: interview with ACBB
Amiga-topcool has interviewed the PR director of the Amiga-Club-Berlin-Brandburg
(see title link). He's talking about the club life and his expectation of the
Amiga fair. Read also his sum up regarding the AmigaOS XL (he'd been one of the
first being able to test it). Additionally he's talking about the club's future
plans and what Thomas Nosutta is doing when he's not busy on his Amiga.

SuSE Linux 7.3 for PowerPC available
After a long waiting it is time again. SuSE Linux 7.3 for PowerPC
is now available at SuSE GmbH and at the retailers.
8 CDs contain more than 2000 software packages. To mention only a small
selection of new software here are some examples:
KOffice, OpenOffice, Ogg/Vorbis (DivX), KDE 2.2.1, Gnome 1.4.1
But the distribution's highlight should be the availability of the filesystems
Ext3, JFS and ReiserFS (all journaling filesystems).
As in the past I'll create an installation guide for Amiga systems. In any case
I'll let you know when these are available on the net.

Cloanto: Amiga Forever 5.0 / Cloanto at AMIGA 2001
Amiga Forever 5.0 is now shipping. It is available in a CD-ROM, CD-ROM
Upgrade, Online Edition, Online Upgrade and Cross-Platform Online Edition.
Amiga Forever contains state of the art software to satisfy two major
needs of many Amiga users: to use their existing Amiga software and data
on non-Amiga hardware, and to share data between Amiga and other systems.
Additionally, software, tutorial and reference files which are likely to
be of interest to any Amiga enthusiast are included.
Features include:
- Just-in-time (JIT) version of emulation software, carefully
configured and publicly
benchmarked by Cloanto to be 30 times faster than in previous
versions of Amiga Forever
- Software Manager, an advanced content delivery system developed by
Cloanto, for easy and privacy-conscious management of all
emulation-related components (updates, downloads, news, etc.)
- New and fully licensed Picasso96 software (not a shareware version)
- All software tested on Windows XP
- All Amiga ROMs up to version 3.1 (the last ROM that will ever be
available for the "Classic Amiga"!)
- CDTV and CD³² boot ROMs and extended ROMs (can be used to
play CDTV and CD³² games, even booting directly from CD-ROM)*
- MPEG-1 videos: The Deathbed Vigil (one hour and 58 minutes, i.e. the full version of this "must have" video) and Jay Miner Speech (49
minutes)*
- GlowIcons look (as used in Amiga OS "3.5", "3.9" and "XL", but also compatible with NewIcons and MagicWB)
- Option to switch entire environment from "new look" (GlowIcons) to "old look" (Classic) and vice versa
- Amiga Explorer 4.0 (includes revolutionary self-install over serial
cable, plus new Cut, Copy, Paste functions)
- Directory Opus 5.5 (courtesy of GPSoftware)
- TurboText (exclusive latest version with stack problem fix)
- Personal Paint 7.1b
- Built-in support for ADZ and DMS disk image files
- Print spooler (easily print all Amiga documents under Windows,
bypassing parallel port emulation)
- New MenuBox launcher
- New emulation and Workbench configuration results in even faster
emulation of the Amiga CPU
- Latest version of WinUAE and WinFellow tested by Cloanto
- Dozens of other enhancements and add-ons (drag-and-drop LhA,
ToolManager, etc.)
Cloanto at Amiga 2001 (Köln)
Seminars will be held at 12:45 on both Saturday, November 17 and Sunday,
November 18. You are most welcome to join the presentation of Amiga Forever
5.0, the demos, and the debates. (ps)

Fractal Graphic: FlashMandelWOS 1.5
Version 1.5 of FlashMandelWOS
has been uploaded on Aminet in gfx/fract
directory. With FlashMandel you can create fractal graphics.
This has changed in the new version:
- FlashMandel has a new Reaction-GUI. You need OS3.5 (or higher) for this feature. Now it's possible to use all features only by mouse.
- Added support for Localization for Italian and German languages, others are welcome ;-).
- A new installer-script makes it easy to install, update or delete FlashMandel.
- The ppc-routines are reworked, so the speed increases about 12%.
- Better print-routines for better output, now should be printed the whole A4 paper.
- Some minor internal changes and optimizations increasing compatibility with all future Amiga clones ;-).
- and much more...

AudioLabs: ProStationAudio Titanium demo 5.01 (Update)
ProStationAudio Titanium demo 5.01 available in
the download section.
- fixed Play Object and Play Region (were routed to the wrong busses resulting in noise)
- correctly loads older format projects, useful for tutorials
- variable bitrate DSP plugins now fully supported
- added "mouse-over" help text for new console buttons
As both the "project format" and "variable bitrate" modifications remove the
chances of possible system crashes, it's strongly recommended to replace the
older demo with the new 5.01 version.
Update 16.11.2001:
Download: psadm501.lha

Event: e.p.i.c interactive on the Amiga 2001 in Cologne

Our booth will be marked by our realtime strategy hit EARTH 2140. The EARTH 2140 mission pack
will be introduced and for the first time available to the customers on the show in Cologne (if UPS
will not let us down). The mission pack extends the Mac and Amiga version with 80 new
single player missions and the multi-player mode (LAN) long awaited for the Amiga.
Another innovation is the latest version of the movie player MooVID PRO which was optimized in
many parts. Of course there will be all of our product line, like Simon The Sorcerer II and Foundation Gold, at amazing show prices. Furthermore we will presentate some of our products on an Apple Mac,
which also will be available for Pegasos/MorphOS, soon.
