Prelude Programmer-Infos
A.C.T. have made available the first version (currently only in German) of the information for
programmers, which will allow to write Prelude drivers. This makes it also possible to
develop Linux drivers for both Preludes (Z2 and 1200).
Knowledge about the used sound chips is also necessary.

FMdriver und FMdriverVHI V1.25
After a long delay at last I released the two FrameMachine drivers v1.25, today.
New in FMdriver the possibility to save different configurations to have optimal
source regarding settings at hand. This is very helpful especially if one uses different
players for passing data (e.g. 16:9, 4:3, DVD, etc.), but wants to have removed those
ugly black borders right from the start. Moreover it now is possible to create time laps
recordings in a very simple way.
The VHI driver FMdriverVHI was generally reworked and mate with my new driver conception
for the FMdriver packet - now performance together with VHI should be much better.
Something else on personal cause: unfortunately that I'll have to strongly reduce my
programming and hardware activities this year, due to my studies and final year project.
Due to this I ask you for your understanding, if it will take me some more time to
reply on an e-mail! At all events I will try to release more new versions, even though
the time famine.
And now, have a lot of fun with the new versions of the programs!

Play!Amiga: Shogo-Demoversion Review
What took a long time, at last became fine! Shogo demo version available!
After a long waiting period now there is the Shogo demo. The game is supposed to be
finished next month. Of course there's one probing question: what will the game look
like on my computer? It is about to download simply 40 MB as well as Warp3D v4 and one
can get a first impression. That's what Play!Amiga has done for you.

Development of BATTLE Stopped
Already in November HighAnt Development announced a turn in direction (we reported). Today Marco
Frischkorn informs us that the development of the remaining game
'Battle' had definitively been dropped, too.
Frischkorn: "Game Over! You get to see this normally only at the end of a game
but in this case it's also valid for BATTLE. Because of private things (I'll
become father for the second time) and the general situation we have decided to
finish the development of BATTLE and to let the game and the development kit
die."

Klaus Burkert passed away
Klaus Burkert, known for excellent Amiga hard- and software development died
two days ago from a heart attack.
We offer our sincerest condolences to his family and friends. May they find
the strength to get over this loss.
Posted on the official P96 mailing list: "Silence,
I just want to inform you guys out there that yesterday, after a major
heart attack on Monday, one of the greatest developers of Amiga hard-
and software who was my best friend and mentor Klaus Burkert has died.
It was a really big shock for me and so it will be for others.
I don't know what else to say, there are not really words to fit the
situation... Bye Klaus, cu on the other side" - Tobias Seiler

isdnsurfer.device V1.943 Online
The new version of the ISDN card driver can be found in the support area
of the Individual Computer homepage and offers two new features:
- EOF Mode: This more efficient method of communication between TCP/IP stack
and isdnsurfer.device should give a notable performance boost.
- NSD (New Style Device) commands: Adaption to the newest OS versions.
Further, a multitasking bug was fixed which led to performance losses. The
development continues, with the next update there will finally be Sync-PPP!

New IRC Amiga Channel: #amiweb
On April 8th, the new Amiga chat channel #amiweb will officially open. Most of
you will probably think that there are so many channels and that another channel
won't make any sense. However, #amiweb won't be an ordinary channel, but rather
a possibility for the average user to chat with programmers and other important
people on the Amiga.
On April 8th from 7:00 pm on, #aminet will be officially opened. Invited for
the "opening ceremony", we have among others Petro Tyschtschenko and Matthias
Böcker, author of DynAMIte and ATC, and the Amiga dealer "Black & White".
The server data:
Server: showme.altnet.org (IP is 216.87.208.170)
Port: 6667
channel: #amiweb
So now just think up some questions, and then we'll read us on April 8th!
