Opinions on the SDK's VP from J.Wiede
J. Wiede has dealed with the VP from the point of view of a developer of drivers in particular and gives a very discerning
opinion on the VP in the above usenet posting.
04 Jul 2000, Addition:
Andreas Kleinert and Olaf Barthel informed us about a surely interesting
background of this: the author of this 'somewhat discerning'
article about the AmigaSDK is a former employee of Commodore, who in
those days operated at CATS for the Tech Support. His entire name is
"John Wiederhirn". One shoul be aware of this backround while reading
his articles in this discussion.

Appe V3 - Connecting Playstation Pad to CD32
With the above Aminet archive Benjamin Morente describes how to build a hardware interface that allows to use
a standard digital Pad for the Playstation with all Amigas. This solution emulates a joystick with two firebuttons as well

joystick interface), Amstrd CPC, Atari, and similar).

"Corel, Canadian graphics software specialist turned Linux distributor, is sometimes
good for a surprise other than bad sales reports. On the LinuxTag, Corel already
presented its Linux graphics suite CorelDraw 9 (booth 5.1.1.9). While it was previously
said the package will probably be released in autumn, Friday night the Corel HQ in
Canada gave it's OK: CorelDraw 9 for Linux is now released, and will hit the shelves
in two to three weeks, however not for free. The image processor Photo-Paint, on
the other hand, is already free for download."

Chrystal Interactive Software News - Part 1
Part 2
Michael Carrillo has visited C.I.S. and wrote a summary report with added screenshots,
with news e.g. on the adventure games "Gilbert Goodmate" and "Mushroom of Phangoria".
Thomas Lorenz: It should be noted that Crystal
will only port Gilbert Goodmate to the Amiga if their second project "Dark Millenia" is sold
at least 1000 times (or at least 1000 people state their interest, e.g. by
e-mail). It is also mentioned that a
"desaster" as with FusionPPC can hopefully be avoided!
The current demo on Michael's website "Amiga
Rediscovery" is "Hired Guns".

New ppclibemu
ppclibemu is an emulation of the ppc.library and the PowerUP kernel under WarpOS.
An own ELF LoadSeg patch is included, and allows many (some?) PowerUP-applications
to run just like in the original environment. Those apps that run show no feelable
speed penalty. Some are even faster than with the original kernel.
New in v0.8: PortLists, PPCFindTask, PPCFindTaskObject, PPCSignalTask, PPCDeleteTask.
Please try which of the two runs better with installed PowerUP software, A or B?
Download:
ppclibemuA.lzx -
ppclibemu A v0.8 (30.06.00), latest version (libs only)
ppclibemuB.lzx -
ppclibemu B v0.8 (30.06.00), latest version (libs only)

Update of the homepage, and new domain names
Not only the design has changed - our domain has changed, too. The old domain name
www.amigadev.de will be transferred to Amiga Inc. in the next couple of days.
We decided to take this step because the domains amigadev.COM and amigadev.NET were
already owned by Amiga Inc., and we therefore confused some users, who of course thought
that amigadev.DE would be the German counterpart to amigadev.COM. To put an end to this
confusion, and to give Amiga Inc. the opportunity to create German pages under amigadev.DE,
some days ago we ordered our web hoster to transfer the domain name to Amiga Inc.
Our new domain names are now:
www.highantdev.de and
www.highantdev.com.
The .DE domain will lead you to the German pages, and the .COM domain to the English ones.
Since the English pages are not yet finished, both domains lead you to German pages for the
time being.

Innovative brings Digita(TM)-Power to the AMIGA!
Innovative has developed a driver for digital cameras, which are running with
the Digital(TM) Operating Environment. "Digita(TM)-enabled" digital cameras
show a much higher performance than everything else on the market, this times. Not only
that Digita(TM) is used with cameras from several manufacturers, but also these cameras
are running with Coldfire- or PowerPC CPUs and make it possible to run scripts, programms,
and games (incl. MAME!!) - what makes theses cameras particular interesting. The
producer of Digita(TM), Flashpoint(TM),
has set his target to make Digita(TM) the standard for digital cameras and therefor bets on
a standardised communikation protokoll between computer and camera. With the VHI driver now
available even Amiga users get access to these faszinating cameras, at last, and can download taken
pictures in a comfortable way and edit them. The following "Digita(TM)-enabled" digital cameras
are currently available:
- Kodak DC 220, DC 260, DC 265, DC 290
- Minolta Dimage 1500 EX, Dimage 1500 3D
- HP PhotoSmart C500, C619, C912
- Pentax EI-200, EI-2000
P.S.: Digita(TM) has in this case nothing to do with the developers of Wordworth, but is
a productname for a product from Flashpoint(TM).

Please tell me too, which month (November 2000 to February 2001 is possible) would fit best.
Do not vorget to tell me how you liked the room, and the rest of that event - especially with
the meals (say if lunch and/or potluck). If all of you did not like the meals, this problem
will be prevented or corrected, next time. Oh, and the people who did not attend on Satruday

Hyperion: Shogo status report
The development of Shogo is under good progress and goes on very well. They are
still thinking, if it makes sense to develop an AGA-version besides the gfx-board-version for the Amiga.

MusiXTeX T.99 available
A message maby still interessting for some user. At least at the sites of Amiga-Club some queries occured about
MuscTex, the precursor of MusiXTeX. This macripacket with ASCII files also runs with the TeX systems on Amiga
(PasTeX and AmigaTeX=MaxonTex). The latest version of the author Daniel Taupin
is available now. Since macro packets are from TeX ASCII code a porting to our Amiga - assuming a working TeX system -
should not be such a big problem. I'm working since many years with MusicTeX (the precursor) and will have a look at
MusiXTeX next times.

stated that the AmiJoe project was not quit, even though there are romours telling this time and again.
The developing department of Met@box, "CPU Upgrades", has other projects with higher priority.
Additionally a serious bug turned up in the Memory/PCI Bridge Controller, which necessitates a
redesign of the controller. Due to that the 68k emulation could not be creates as on schedule.

Heise: Internet Surfing with the "Breadbox"
«Maurice Randall is developing an internet browser for the Commodore64 homecomputer.
The C64, which was not manufactured since years, came in 1983 to the market and used 64KByte
memory - a vast amount of memory for homecomputers in former times. The fist version of the C64
adopted the slightly roundish design of its precursor VC-20 and thus was also called "Breadbox".
The second version, which turned up later, had got a more shallow case using the typical design of the 80th.
There were more other designs, such as a portable variant with build-in coloured monitor.»
