XLight / LaserMax
XLight is a soft-/hardware project by Christian Entrup for controlling
lighting systems for small and large events. On the homepare the following
information is available in adition to the manual and screenshots:
Right now, ony a demo version of this software is available. It is a demo
version WITHOUT HARDWARE OUTPUT on the parallel port. The subroutines for
driving the hardware are missing in this version! The software is fully
functional, however, including writing and saving lighting skripts. Sadly,
the switch group and strobo group with their abilities cannot be marveled
at, since there is no graphical representation on the user interface for
them. Registering is not planned right now. A full version is not yet
delivered. Since I am not sure about how to distribute the hardware
(own manufacturing, construction set, giving out layouts, or...) and the
hardware tests are not yet finished, this is delayed, since quality and
safety are #1 issues.

V³ pre4
The latest version removes numerous bugs. It is recommended to reboot after
installation to make sure no old libraries remain in memory. Additionally, V³
now sports a demo mode, so the program can be tested without keyfile for 30
minutes; and a new toolbar by Loonstar.
There is a seperate PPC version of VFlash V3.0pre3 is now available.
The current V³ versions are prereleases meant for testing and
locating bugs; they are not final versions with more or less guaranteed stability.

Aminet Status
Urban Mueller writes in dcsam that right now there is no way to say when
Aminet will be running again. Older files can be downloaded from the usual
servers, new uploads are still not exchanged between servers.
Reason for the trouble is that the main server in Paderborn has
been hacked, and has to be completely rebuild.
If Aminet should stay down for duration, the main server will be
transferred back to wuarchive, which would however take some time, too.

PC-Welt: Transmeta unveiled: Patent for cheap CPU
PC-Welt writes:
The mysterious company Transmeta, having Linux developer Linus Thorvalds on their
payroll, has filed a patent for a processor emulating an Intel chip. As US news
service CNet reports, it is a combination of CPU and software behaving like a
X86 CPU. The software translates Pentium commands in a way that the chip can
parse them.
The Patent is available online.

COOL bits Newsticker
Martin Strobl writes:
- first, despite the latest news from America (Gateway, Amiga Inc., Collas, etc.)
we will of course continue to support the Amiga :-)). If our business can remain
"Amiga only" (well, and a little bit Casablanca :-) ), is very uncertain currently,
however :-(. No matter what might be our new business, it won't be PC :-)))).
All in all, I think the future for the Amiga (or whatever it will be
called) lies in the PowerPC (603/604 - G3/G4). I don't believe anything usable will
come from Amiga Inc. any more :-(. I'd like to be convinced otherwise.
I recommend all Amiga users join the PPC movement, or at least wait
until the Amiga show (Home Electronics World) in November before deciding to change
platforms.
- our homepage is undergoing a complete restructuring right now, so there
are no updates for now. I home the new homepage to be online in about two weeks.
I'm on holiday this week, and won't be answering emails before it's over.
Our shop remains open, of course :-)

Latest info about CamX/Camouflage project
Amiga development has been put on hold, sadly. We no longer sell to customers.
The decission of Gateway / Amiga Inc. has been accepted with great regret -
really disappointing. CamX will be developed for BeOS and Linux - with unclear
priorities so far. Registered Amiga / Camouflage users can cross-update.
