New German Magazine - Triple-A
Bastian Moritz wrote:
Until some months ago I had created an Atari fanzine with some other people. But
as I am also an Acorn user and some of my colleagues Amiga fans we thought that
we could also put it all on a broader basis.
This resulted in Triple-A, a fanzine for Amiga, Acorn and Atari. The first issue
comes out on 29.10. From today on you can at least surf to our homepage.
At www.triple-a-mag.de
you get infos and a forum. In addition to this you can subscribe here or place
free adverts.

CS&E: Software and Banner
CS&E will soon releae "Cosmo's Fun Class".
This is a education software package for children at the age of 4-9 years. It fosters
reading, calculating and the hand/eyes coordination and much more.. The software
runs on an A1200. It was developed by the team of
Electronics Dream Interactive.
In conjunction with an Amiga Survivor subscription the package is available at a special
price. To do a translation into German language CS&E needs 300 pre-orders. They expect 1000
pre-orders for the game "Carmageddon". All in all the people at CS&E hope to sell
5000 copies of "Carmageddon".
"Back in Time 2" however has been finished as is the English version of "Cosmo's Fun
Class", so they don't need any pre-orders for that. Details about pre-ordering are
available via email: csande@csande.com
and will be released soon in both, the print and online magazines of CS&E.
On the website of the Amiga Survivor
magazine is free room for small banners. Everybody interested may place
his/her banner there in exchange with banners by CS&E on their own
websites.

ppclibemu v0.8c
Frank Wille has released the version 0.8c of the ppclibemu on 21. October 2000.
This software emulates the ppc.library by phase 5 under WarpOS and this way allows
the direct use of PowerUp-programs with WarpOS. This version patches the
Exec-functions FreeMem()/FreeVec() to avoid problems with bad coded programs
which free PPC memory using theses Exec-functions. This affects for example
TurboPrint.
Download:
The update contains solely the libraries. Everything else is included in the
complete archive of the version 0.7.

Amiga Super Expansion System
The new company Fastech announces an expansion on their website with the
following features: 3 PCI slots, 3 Zorro-III compatible slots, 1 AGP slot, 1
SDRAM DIMM slot, 2 CPU expansion ports, 1 A1200 clock port, 2 x serial and 1 x
EPP parallel ports. As CPU modules are a G4 module with 400 MHz and a Coldfire
module with 333 MHz announced. The expansion shall be released first for
A3000/T- and A4000/T computers and is in the alpha test stage at present.
While the G4 module is delayed to reach a higher performance via a rework of the
design the Coldfire module is in the test stage. As the Coldfire is not 100%
compatible with the 68k line OS patches and library patches are needed. They are
working on these at the moment.
Editorial note:
Hints strengthen that this website and so the report may be a fake. We can't neither
confirm nor deny this at the moment, but we'll continue our investigations.

Screen Shots of Crossfire II
Stefan Schulze writes:
On our website are the latest screen shots of the action shooter Crossfire ready for
admiration. They are completely taken from the campaign mode.
Besides that it looks as if Jan Morgenstern (www.jm-music.de) will be supporting us as a
free lancer in the future. I'm really pleased that we don't have to rely on
Techno now. :)

Nostalgia: Putty Squad Demo
On 20. October 2000 the demo of Putty Suqad was released in the Amiga
Rediscovery section of AmiHoo. This demo
was released as coverdisk. The game itself was never released by System 3 Software.
Amiga Rediscovery of AmiHoo has the conception
to rediscover some of the greatest Amiga games by playing the demo
versions which were released as cover disk years ago. So this site also calls to
share your thoughts about the games with others and to ask for help at comp.sys.amiga.misc.
Besides the demos of the recent months there's, among other things, a help file on
the page reachable on the page at the title link that explains how to unpack the DMS disk
archive.

Merlancia Comments on Criticism
Merlancia Industries announced
some hardware for the AmigaDE some days ago covering computers from Palmtop over
laptops to PC-towers. This announcement caused some doubts. In the above
statement, dated 22. October 2000, Ryan E. A. Czerwinski from Merlancia comments
on the criticism.
Among other things it can be read that the release of the TORRO website took
place to give the Amiga community an idea now of what is in development.
For the COMDEX, in Phoenix, Merlancia announced the introduction of a working
Hurricane prototype and invited to an arrangement for a private talk at the
exhibition. They are working on the Hurricane board for eight months now. As
expected release date for the Hurricane and the eClips they named the second to
third quarter 2001. This date also depends on the release of the AmigaDE.
The complete statement
caters to further nine subjects.

movieplayer "AMP 2" on his website. Among other things he points out that the
prefs-format has changed. Therefore all the former AMP.cfg files must be
deleted before you can use the new version. Some option were had, names of options were
changed or options have been removed, and may not be used in the old way anymore. More
informations can be found under the title link at the "AMP 2" section.
