AHT: Work-in-progress pictures of the graphics card daVinci
Following the title link you can find first pictures of the announced Zorro III graphics card daVinci (working title: AmiVD) developed by AHT International BV. The company is moving from Great Britain to Stellendam in the NEtherlands.
The board's development has reached beta state and is running without limitations (2D, 3D and DMA). Still to do are firther quality tests as well as driver adaptions for further PCI cards including sound cards.
The graphics card daVinci has an additional free PCI slot enabling the use of a selected number of PCI cards. Both slots are completely DMA enabled.
Depending on the asked number of boards is a Zorro II version still a possibility but this needs quite a few changes in the software.
Further information are available on the website of AHT as soon as they can be given.

Pegasos posters available
Today the Pegasos poster from APC&TCP are available. All advances in order were
delivered yet.
The motives are "Horse" and "Cool Computing" as they can be found on the
mousepads by APC&TCP. The posters have A1 oblong format. If it is wanted
the posters also can be delivered rolled (instead of folded) but this is much
more expensive. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS4: Support of ESI Juli@ soundcards
Because of a AHI driver by Davy Wentzler AmigaOS4 now also supports the high-quality
soundcard Juli@
from ESI/Egosys. The digital, MIDI- and Stereo-LineIn and -Out of the card are supported
which also offers playing and recording up to 192 kHz at 24-Bit as well as the choice
between RCA- and TRS-port.
The support of the card is managed by the Envy24HT driver which already also allows
the use of soundcards Terratec Aureon 5.1 Sky, 7.1 Space, Phase28 and M-Audio
Revolution.
The author points out that the chips of the card obviously have been changed (from
a Envy24 to a Env24HT or Envy24HT-S). Possibly different codecs were used. The
soundcard used by Davy Wentzler was new if you buy a new card it would work.
The driver will be available in the OS4Depot during the next days.
The author thanks Krister Skrtic for the support developing the driver of this card
as well as Egosys for making available the complete source code (!)
and the documentation of the Windows drivers.

MorphOS: D2A-Patch integrates Magellan-Lister to Ambient
The Dopus2Ambient-Commoditypatch written by Jacek 'jacaDcaps' Piszczek and Marcin 'MorgothDCaps' Kurek
is a hack which makes it possible to open Magellan-Lister with a double click
in Ambient.
The ARexx-interface is used for it. Additional to ARexx Magellan and Ambient
(therefore also the icon.library and workbench.library) have to be started.
In order to hide the Magellan window the backdrop-modus must be deactivated. Now
you can start D2A and/or copy it to your WBStartup directory.
Please also note the known problems which are described in the Readme-file.

Emulator: PSP-UAE 0.31 for the Playstation Portable
Christophe Thibault has ported the Amiga emulator to the handheld console PSP ("PlayStation Portable") by Sony (screen shot). Our reader 'shad' estimates the reached speed of the emulation still a bit low (~70%) but compatibility seems to be pretty good.
Changes in version 0.31:
- Chip memory set to 2mb so Monkey Island works again.
- File selector improvements.
- Added options menu.
To use the emulator a firmware version 1.00 or 1.50 is required. Note that the emulator uses the 333 MHz processor clock. (cg) (Translation: ub)

MorphOS: Bulldog 1.4, mod plugin for AmiNetRadio
BullDog 1.4
Rupert Hausberger's program BullDog loads data from the usenet using nzb descriptions (screen shots:
1, 2, 3). The new version fixes several bugs:
- Fixed stupid bug in the yEnc decoder, which marked yEnc-singlepart files as incomplete.
- Fixed another bug in the xml-decoder. Now subjects without the "(1/1)" ending get recognized correctly.
- Fixed bug in UU-multipart routine, now saving works correctly.
- Added workaround for nasty comments in segment-bodys, caused wrong decoding of some files.

GUI system: theme engine for NewGui
First screenshots of the new theme engine for the alternative GUI system NewGui can be found under the title link. The current beta version, available in the download area, already contains a coniguration program for testing the new functionality.
For users who want to create own themes a comprehensive manual will be available soon. By using the program DEEPVIEW that is part of the package should an advanced user already be able to follow this relatively simple process.
Special thanks of the NewGui author go to Aaron Diezman who made the first theme called "Sky" available. The NewGui version 1.4.5 is still in development, the final product will contain colour definitons for borders and similar things.
