Pegase V1.8d
Marcel Rohles writes:
Didier Levet released four updates of the MPEG-Layer-2-encoders Pegase between 31.08.2000 and 09.09.2000.
In addition to bugfixes and little changes, the audio-model has been improved. Now there is nearly no
difference between original and copy with a 160 kbit coded AIFF.
Unfortunately there were no responses during the last weeks, so he thinks that noone uses Pegas
e anymore or there is no interest in further versions.
Especially on pure 68k-Amigas there is in my opinion no alternative to Pegase - MP§-encoding without
PPC takes too much time.
Pegase offers compression-times of 2:1 on my Cyberstorm MK I (50 MHz) and a really good quality of
the encoded songs, often even better than free MP3-encoders.

Amiga Link Directory
Bad news: While uploading new functions the database has accidentially been overwritten
with an older version. Six entries since August 26 2000 are lost. Only the last three entries could be
restored from the browser-cache. Please just add your website again.
We are thinking of a better backup-method so that such things can't happen in the future again.

Many parts of this website has been rearranged without loss of the already good navigation.
Every important link is to reach from the main page.
If would have to mark it, this would be a B+ :-)

The fastest Driver for ISDN-boards ever!
Harald Frank wrote:
Many did not thought it to be possible, any more. After 1 1/2 years there is a new update for
the ISDN-boards driver software VMC-ISDN for any Amiga ISDN-board. Due to the partly loss of source code, and
some small technical problems we could not release a new version for the ISDN driver over a long period of time.
Some customers even suggested that we would have stopped working on it...., but once again we are able to offer
to you a masterly achievement of Amiga software, which is only to describe using the words better, faster and turbo.
Please, prove us that did not spend so many month full of work for this costly software for nothing, and if you know
another one owning an Amiga ISDN-board, so tell him of the new driver, cause we depend on every support from you.
It would be a pitty, if would not be able to finace this software any more in default of interest. So, come on and
register for the new beta test, now.

Take Part in the Developement of Lyra!
Lyra is the joungest child of individual Computers. This is an adapter to use
Windows-Keyboards with the Amiga.
Though some thing like this alreay exists, but none of the up to now introduced interfaces fulfilled our
personel needs. Either some of the key were not used, or others had absolutely insane seizures, and again
other had problems when more then one key were pressed at the same time. This interface
for the "Bigbox" Amigas (2000, 3000, 4000 and tower-case) easy gets pluged between keyboard and computer.
In the case of A1200 it gets impressed to the keyboard processor, which is to find on the A1200 main board.
We have spent as much effort as possible to get the seizures very similar to the original Amiga keyboards,
and to give reasonable seizures to additional keys. Though, we want to hear the opinions about the seizures
of as many users as possible befor we cannot change anything, any more. So, take your time to have close look
at the key seizures, and mail
us your opinion. The best suggestion will be honoured with some little surprise! Release is planned for the end of October.

New Amiga Design for Nokia 3210 Mobile Phone
Rolf Tingler has already created designs with Amiga look in airbrush for
several mobile phone models. Now there's also a shell available for the
Nokia 3210. For the Nokia model 8210, a new Amiga design is in the works.
The design is a bit complicated as this phone is really small and thus
there's only very little space for the design.

AddOn-Programming for PageStream
Grasshopper LLC, the distributor of PageStream, published the documentation
of IFF and links to the Application Library SDK on their pages. The release
allows third parties to write plug-ins for PageStream. Interested developers
can find more information here.
Supplement, 09-09-2000 by Ruediger Hanke:
There is a problem unfortunatly mentioned nowhere as it is. The SDK at the time beeing
works solely with SAS/C! If one tries to compile the includes using StormC, he will get
a lot of error messages and an endless loop in the compiler, if lucky.
The includes also are not the only wattle, the enclosed linker-libraries are too SAS/C specific, too.
Fortunatly Deron is very helpful, he promised me to send me the sources of these linker-libraries, so
that I can port them to StormC.
This is not mentioned on the website. At the end one might take the effort (quite a few) to adapt the
includes, just to finde out at the end that the needed linker-library doesn't match. If Deron
sends me the sources, and I would manage to get them running with StormC, I will make up a SDK version
for StromC programmers.
