New Amiga Game Magazine Online: Amiga Fire
Recently a new online magazine was started in Denmark: Amiga Fire. Rune J. Keller has set his target to
provide his readers with extended information all about the Amiga games world. The website is good looking
and easy to navigate. There is a search feature in every section enabling easy to find articles.
If this brilliant concept will be followed by good information this page's success is guaranteed. :-)

Heise: PowerPC in Reconfigurable Hardware
«Xilinx, the market leader for reconfigurable ICs by cooperation with IBM[1] obtains access to IBM's
PowerPC processor design. The PowerPC processor cores shall become connected to reconfigurable FPGA circuits.
Thus custom circutis can be integrated directly in the chip - without developing application specific ICs.
In general FPGA enables faster development along with fewer costs than with conventional chips. Additionally
FPGA basing produkts are more flexible, cause of the real circuit of the ICs can be changed easyly. Xilinx[2]
is planning a possibility for updates already integrated into the chips.
Beside the processor core and the aligned CoreConnect-Bus Xilinx gains acces to the current method of
copper production, by which they hope to enhance the performance of their chips. IBM with this cooperation
targets more promulgation of their PowerPC processor.»
The entire article is to read at the titlelink (German).

AppMI - Toolbar Images with GlowIcons Design
AppMI is a huge collection of images and animations for toolbars with the GlowIcons style
which could possibly become a standard for the Classic Amiga system. The collection is
freely available for programmers and all people interested. To get the archive, a
registration is necessary and everyone publishing a product that uses AppMI should send
me a copy of the full version of the program.
The registration can be made in the "AppMI section". After requesting the registration
form, you should fill out this and send it back to the author. The archive is sent
to you immediately via email.

Asyncio.library for WarpOS (Bugfix)
From now on, a new version (40.3) of the asyncio.library for WarpOS is available. It
fixes some bugs of the previous version which could lead to problems with very long
files. Sadly, this bug wasn't fix as assumed in the V40.2. This time, there are
no more problems.

Back to the Roots News
Back to the Roots (http://www.back2roots.org), the Amiga Culture
Directory project, was updated again.
The companies Vision Software and Croteam are supporting our
little project now, too. Since today you can download the games
"Roadkill" and "Woody's World", as well as the brilliant soccer
game "5A-Side-Soccer", which is the indoor version of Football
Glory.
Also the games Whale's Voyage 1+2, Black Viper, Fightin'
Spirit and Spherical Worlds from Neo Software are back online,
because the contract with Alive Mediasoft was never valid.
Impressions, the strategy experts from the States, are supporting
BTTR now for a long time and now we can give you the games
"Afrika Korps", "Airbucks" and "Caesar Deluxe" for free.
Demo scene freaks will find tons of new stuff (demos, pictures,
mods), too. Some of the new additions from the scene are looking
so great, that we can't describe them with words. They're a must
see. Especially most of the 64k intros are really fascinating as
well as all the new eye-candy in the pictures section.
For all those who don't know BTTR, yet: BTTR is a legal web project
which attempts to cover all areas of the Amiga (games, demos, tools,
pictures, music and much more). Commercial software (games, tools,
and so on) are offered for free download only with permission of the
publisher.

EASys! CD Pirate Copies ?
To protect our customers from purchasing pirate copies of the EASys! CD, we have now put a
Scan
of the CD-ROM on this page. The EASys! CD should come as a pressed silver CD
(no CD-R!) in a jewel case with 4 color cover (color cannot be smeared with a
wet finger) and CD art in two colors (rasterized black/dark pink). Should your
CD not match one of these criterias, it is most likely a pirate copy.
Please email us in this case
when and where you bought this CD!
Only dealers that got our CD through the distributor GTI should be in the possession of
originals. The same is of course also true if you ordered the CD directly on our
homepage or by phone from Eternity.

SHARKS!-wbesite reworked
"SHARKS!" is a game that takes place underwater. Aim of the game is to collect
treasures with a scuba diver and to get them to your boat. You have to pay attention
on sharks. A little arrow, at the right upper corner, points to the treasure. In later
levels are appearing jelly-fishes that touches are not deadly but decrease the score.
Electric eels do the same. SHARKS! is available since May 2000, the CD will cost 30DM
(for shipping outside of Germany add 5DM for postage) and can be ordered from:
