CyberGraphX Support for Mediator PCI Graphics accelerator
Elbox Computer and Vision Factory Development announced there co-operation. The goal is
to develope a CyberGraphX based Graphicaccelerator-System for PCI-Graphicaccelerators, installed on the
Mediator PCI 1200 Busboard.
Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 13:50:42 +0200
From: ELBOX press@elbox.com
Organization: ELBOX COMPUTER
Subject: CyberGraphX support for Mediator PCI graphic cards
Elbox Computer www.elbox.com
Vision Factory Development www.vgr.com
------------------------------------------
For Immediate Release
Krakow, PL - 24 July 2000
Elbox Computer, the developer of Amiga hardware and software,
who have designed and produced the MEDIATOR PCI 1200 busboard,
announced a partnership today with Vision Factory Development,
developer of CyberGraphX, the widely popular graphic system
for Amiga computers.
Elbox Computer and Vision Factory Development will co-operate
to port and optimize the CyberGraphX graphic system for
operation with PCI graphic cards installed in the MEDIATOR
PCI 1200 busboard.
CyberGraphX V3 will be available with the MEDIATOR PCI busboard.
CyberGraphX V4, the extended commercial version of this system
may be obtained from all the CyberGraphX distributors; it will
enable even more comprehensive use of the PCI graphic chipsets
capacity.
Support for new graphic chipsets will be developed for
both versions (V3 and V4) of the CyberGraphX system.
Current information on drivers available for MEDIATOR will be
reported at http://www.vgr.com, the official CyberGraphX website.
CyberGraphX
The CyberGraphX standard is being supported by all major Amiga
software vendors worldwide. CyberGraphX was designed to define
an independent graphics standard for Amiga graphic boards.
Continued work on Workbench emulation was also an important
issue. Over 7 years of experience in developing graphics board
software was employed in making Workbench control screens
with all the existing Amiga graphic cards.
CyberGraphX is based on hardware-dependent monitor driver and
hardware-independent libraries. This solution has many advantages,
one of these being bug fixes in the Workbench card control.
Speed optimization is another benefit available for ALL the
graphic boards supported by the CyberGraphX system.
CyberGraphX works with majority of the most popular applications
on the Amiga and resources of Public Domain and Demo software
available are broad.
MEDIATOR PCI 1200
The MEDIATOR PCI 1200 is a new-generation busboard for Amiga
1200 computers. The MEDIATOR busboard is fitted with four
PCI 2.1-compiliant slots for connecting PCI devices, thus
enabling expansion of Amiga 1200 with a variety of PCI-standard
hardware products.
MEDIATOR's hardware has been made compatible with ALL the
available Amiga 1200 turbo cards. MEDIATOR PCI opens an immense
wealth of PCI cards for Amiga 1200 owners: network, sound,
modem (ISDN), decoding (MPEG-2, MP3), TV, and, most of all,
graphic cards based around chipsets like S3 ViRGE, Savage4,
Voodoo3, Voodoo5, Riva TNT2, etc.
MEDIATOR PCI enables using the high-end cards based around the
latest PowerPC G3/G4 processors (available in the PCI card form)
in Amiga 1200 computers. When this feature is combined with the
PCI graphic cards, totally new superb possibilities are open
for Amiga owners.

InstallerNG Beta 1.5 released
The InstallerNG Beta 1.5 was released. Like the former versions this one is still fully compatible
to the old Installer with many bugfixes and some nice new features. In the meantime nearly all scripts
are working well; up to 95% of the bugs occuring are caused by failures in the script.

Trogladite Awards 2k were Confered
Alltogether awards were confered in five categories. Unfortunately two webpages had to be
disqualified because they were elected using manifold reloads.
How about fairness and sportsmenship ? This spoils the joy even of the award winners. I hope
that Trogladite Software will use a script with a reloadstop or an other protection for preventing
these fraud.

Czech Amiga News is back :-)
"Don't panic ! It was just a joke."
The recipients of this mail know that Wintopia2000 was a joke. We wanted to celebrate our two
years of activities around Amiga News a different way :-). What kind of black humor you may say ?
The design took as two days. If you overcome your shock you can read ahead...
We wrote our first newsreport on 07/21/1998. But Czech Amiga News started a few days later. But when
exactly ?! It is your job to find it out. Mail us your proposal - day and hour of the launch - the
nearest one (+/- 2 hours) will win HERETIC II. If there will be a winner he will be published on
08/01/2000. You can mail your suggestion or even greetings via eMail (subject: TIP) to
exie@czex.cz
Dear ExiE. It is not nice of you to shock us that much. As explained in our mail we could not
imagine that you leave the community after two years of fantastic work just with these three sentences.
We even thought of a hack :). We were very happy when we got to know that it was just a joke.
We wish you and your team furthermore much fun at work and we are happy that the cloverleafe is complete
again ;-).

DirOpus 4.14i (Beta) re
Jacek Rzeuski released DirOpus 4.14i (Beta). This is an extract from the History:
- removed lots (all?) pre-OS3.0 conditional code
- removed PowerPacker support completely (replaced by XFDMaster support)
- XFDMaster.library is opened only when needed and if it has not already been
opened by another program. This prevents loading all decrunchers from libs:xfd/
directory. That feature can be overriden by setting FORCEOPENXFD tooltype
in program's icon or -x (case important!) argument if started from CLI.
- fixed canceling "DOpus already running" requester. Now it uses ARexx and
requires RexxMaster running to work. "Bring to front" option added.
- ConfigOpus: removed bug in command list (the list was too long)
- DOpus_Icon: fixed OS3.5 icon support. NewIcons still do not work :(

DOpus 4 ARexx-Scripts
New ARexx-Scripts for DOpus 4 freeware have been released.
CleanRamDisk deletes all files from RAM-Disk, except 'ClipBoards',
'ENV', 'T' and the 'Disk.info' file.
Under PatternOpus three ARexx-Scripts are assembled, that rename many files at once considering a pattern.
For example, it is possible to give a pattern for a filename like "frame?.jpg" and a starting number,
like "1".
