Only 200 prepayments so far for FusionPPC
According to Paul Lesurf of Blittersoft, the current count of prepayments for FusionPPC
is very low. While 600 promised to place a prepayment, only about 200 have actually done
so so far. Read the complete statement at the title link.
While Amiga users have been wailing about empty promises by Amiga Inc. and other
companies, it's a shame that an effort to bring a professional software product to the
Amiga market is rewarded with just the same kind of empty promises. Support the companies
that support us, and stay true to your commitments!(mb)

Silversurfer Update
Jens Schönfeld writes:
Sales of the Silversurfer started surprisingly well. Preorders have been catched up, so there
will be no more delays for orders.
Since October 15th, there is a software update available from my
website.
Changes:
- device now 68000 compatible
- A600 adapter supported
- crashes with Z4 board fixed
- Installer script optimized
- successful installation can now be checked by the power LED "morse code" even without a 15kHz monitor
Start of delivery for the A600 adapter is November 10th, 1999. Preorders are not accepted, to
avoid confusion with people who placed pre-orders but bought one at the Cologne show.
Available since Thursday is the Silversurfer limited edition. It has a 26pin
port for connecting with old Buddha controllers (those with a green board) or the Catweasel
Z-II (all versions). The number is limited to 88. The limited edition is not available
in shops, but only by fax order from individual Computers.
Due to the small numbers, the price is ~40 Euro plus ~5 Euro P&P.

Apex: Payback status report 2
There is a new status report about Payback from
Apex Designs.
- Bugs have been removed. There have been problems with collision control. It now
works faster and more reliable, but needs some more work.
- The sound mixing code has been implemented. It is a very flexible system. A total
of 12 sounds can be mixed with their exact 3D position, and be reproduced in stereo
via the inverse square law. Moreover, a realistic doppler effect simulation is available.
All this runs on the Amiga soundchip "Paula", and will be optimised by Assembler code.
- Talks have been made with several bands about the soundtrack. Perhaps more in the next update.

2nd beta of AHI/PPC
Martin Blom has released a new beta of AHI for PPC. This version supports WarpUp,
but right now is 35% slower than the PowerUp version. Therefore you shouldn't expect
much speed from this version, but simply tell Martin Blom if it runs.
Due to a recently discovered bug in WarpUp, AHI is kept from using the
cache like it is supposed to. AHI will either provide a workaround for this, or
require a newer version of WarpUp.
