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.

This solution emulates a joystick with two firebuttons as well as a CD32 Pad and even works with other computers using a 9pol joystick port (e.g. Commodore 64, MSX, Spectrum (needs joystick interface), Amstrd CPC, Atari, and similar).

Heise: LinuxTag: Corel releases CorelDraw for Linux
"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.

For programmers and such who wants to bekome one there now is a Insider Section on the support site. Reference texts needed for programming close at the hardware of individual Computers' products are made available there. Everybody who wants to write drivers for an alternative operatingsystem, such as Linux or NetBSD, will finde all necessary information there. Also, native PowerPC drivers are conceivable - I would like to answer your queries on the development, cause I know that hardware programming is not pure delight.

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).

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 WITHOUT informing me might contact me, please (mail, phone, etc.).

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.

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.»
