CardTrickEVD Patch for ShapeShifter 3.11
Harry Sintonen has provided a patch under the title link, which allows the blitter acceleration of the CardTrickEVD driver (Aminet) even with version 3.11 of the Mac emulator ShapeShifter.
Niels Knoop's CardTrickEVD is a graphics card driver for ShapeShifter and replaces the integrated CyberGraphX/P96 driver.
Update: (06:04, 15.06.07, snx)
Meanwhile there is also a corresponding patch for PippinEVD, which driver enables the usage of a picture-in-picture display for graphics cards that support this by hardware. (snx) (Translation: tz)

Magazin: Preview of Amiga Future 67 (German/English) online
Press release From today a preview as well as reading rehearsals from the Amiga Future 67 (July/August 2007) are now online. This is the first release which is published in English at the same time.
We hope we could compose an interesting issue for you. Again the readers cd contains 20 progams as full version.
A detailed table of contents as well as German and English reading rehearsals can be found at our homepage.
Issue no. 67 will be released at July 5, if nothing special will happen. This means we will send the subscriptions and reservations by mail at this day.
The Amiga Future can be ordered straight from the editorial office under the title link or from certain amiga dealers like Alinea, AmigaKit, GGS Data, Guru Meditation and Vesalia.
We kindly ask all users to order issue no. 67 as soon as possible. Within a short time we must tell our print shop the total amount of the magazine. Because of obviously logical reasons we will print only a small reserve besides the existing orders.
In case of a question just send an email to Andreas@amigafuture.de with the subject "Amiga". (snx) (Translation: tz)
