amiga-news.de now with Amiga Link Directory (ALD)
amiga-news.de opened the new Amiga Link Directory (ALD) for the public on 23.1.2000. The new directory`s aim is to become THE directory for AMIGA-pages. Innovative, a software-company based in Herzogenaurach/Germany developed the required technology for this exciting enterprise.

Entries are sorted by categories and letters or can be found easily via the available search-function. In order to guarantee an always up-to-date database, entries can be changed by the "owners" of the entry at any time via a previously defined password. For every entry, if provided by the "owner", further information is available. This can include, but is not limited to the postal adress as well as the phone-number, email-adress and homepage.

The ALD will also partially be available via the popular Aminet-CDs (means: only entries of "owners" who want their entries to be part of a "directory" on the Aminet-CD). For the first time there will be a bridge between the AMIGA-online and -offline-world - and it will be called ALD. This way communication within the AMIGA-community will improve and companies can also reach users, that don`t have an internet-connection yet.

Help us building the greatest online-directory for AMIGA-websites worldwide and add your website today.

The ALD can be found at: www.amiga-news.de/cgi-bin/anwd-db.pl (Translation: mb)

Amiga-PacketRadio - user search
Since there is no list of active Amiga Packetradio users, I created a list on the Alternative Computerclub homepage, where all PacketRadio users can have themselves listed. I am curious how many are still left... (Translation: mb)

Storm MP3 Digital Audio Decoder
Storm MP3/e is a device plugged into the parallel port, capable of MP3 playback even on an accelerated A500, 286 or Archimedes (?). The device is powered by a 9V battery, powering up and down together with the host computer. Expansion options include an IR port, memory expansion (probably for internal MP3 use only) and radio reciever. (Translation: mb)

AppleInsider: Outlook for Faster G4 Systems Appear Gloomy
Obviously, difficulties with the G4 CPU layout resulted in a very poor yield in G4 CPUs with more than 450 MHz (one or two per wafer). The situation will probably not change until late fall, when new CPU versions (of the G4, not the successor G5!) will be released. Until then, the G3 is the only PowerPC exceeding 500 MHz clock speed.

Executive Update by Bill McEwen
Amiga's Bill McEwen has posted an Executive Update:

"Greetings to one and all:

A great deal has occurred over the last couple of weeks, and it is only going to get more interesting as we move forward. It has been some time since I spoke with you, and I wanted to share some of the fun.

In the last two weeks we have announced our new foundation partner, started technical training with our new development team, and had many meetings with future technology partners

The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and, to quote an old song "they ain't seen nothing yet".

On January 8, 2000 at CES in Las Vegas we announced our partnership with the Tao-Group as our foundation OS partner. This is not just a technical but a strategic relationship and brings with it great rewards. I have asked Fleecy to write a short document highlighting the Amiga/Tao relationship from a more technical perspective, to save you from having to put up with my telling everyone how incredibly great and fantastic it is. We want you to make your own minds up.

In the next two weeks we will make another strategic partnership announcement with regards to the new path for Amiga. As with all our announcements, look at it against the whole picture and not in isolation.

After a week long trip to Germany and the UK I have come back with a much better understanding of what we can and cannot do. As mentioned before we are not going to make promises or product announcements. We will announce to you, the community, only after the deal is signed or the product is sitting before us. This won't put a stop to rumours, but it will make them all the more obvious. Change brings uncertainty, and in an information vacuum, mischief makers like to take the spotlight. If it isn't officially sanctioned by Amiga, don't believe it.

Our job as a company is to create exciting market opportunities for Amiga developers to take advantage of, and to give Amiga users a platform they can enjoy. This requires more than just an upgrade to the existing OS. This requires, indeed demands a complete strategy reaching into all areas of the present and the future. The time has come for all of us to move forwards, owner, developer, and user.

Many of you have sent us business proposals, and product marketing ideas, and for this we thank you, and ask for your patience as we look over them. Some are providing us with valuable insight into the desires of the Amiga community as a whole, others are providing us with a good chuckle. This is the Amiga advantage that other platforms just do not share.

Over the next few months there may be some companies that come out with their own plans, or state that we do not have the community at heart as we move forwards. The reality is, they do not know what we have planned. In order to stay focused and to keep up our incredible pace, we are not sharing our plans outside of our signed partnerships.

We have to prioritise and act singlemindedly if we are to reach our first plateau in our given timescales. Once there we will be able to pause for breath. Some are not happy about this, but they do not know the full plan. Our mission is not just about restoring the Amiga, but about pushing it forwards as THE technology for tomorrow.

This means that if you hear something annoying, or frustrating, or downright nasty, and the source is not Amiga Inc, then disregard it.

Plain and simple.

If you did not hear it from us, or read it here on this web site it is not true.

We are not asking for your trust or your undying belief. We only ask that you take us on OUR words and deeds, not on the misinterpretations of others.

We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the US for developers and dealers. This will include introductory training seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and schedules. We will also begin the process of introducing the new web site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your hospitality during our meetings and for your continued support as we move forwards. We have had the chance to meet with many end users, developers, dealers, and new partners, and look forwards to meeting even more of you as time goes on.

There is a great deal of activity, with a lot of first footsteps on some truly amazing paths. New partners excited, old faces returning, familiar faces reminding us of our heritage. Indeed we are already having to move into bigger facilities, such is our rate of growth.

I know it can be frustrating but after years wandering lost in a dark place, the sun is finally starting to crack a smile on the horizon. Together, we will march into tomorrow.

Keeping the faith,

Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team." (Translation: mb)

BurnIT version 2.65 released
BurnIt supports DAO 2448 Mode, well kown as CD+G copy mode, enabling 100% copies of any CD you like. But pay attention that only a very limited number of CD-Recorders support this mode e.g. Mitsumi 4802 or Plextor 820 (you need a special CD-Rom drive for reading 2448byte datas, see BurnIT guide for further details)!

Also new to this version:
  • New or reworked drivers for Mitsumi4802, Yamaha6416, Yamaha8416, Plextor8220, Ricoh7040 and many more.
  • CD-cover printout with CD-Text support (Pagestream3 or greater required).
  • AmigaOS 3.5 support upto 100 characters per file name possible.
  • New and advanced read/write settings for individual handling e.g. Gap-Creation, special Error-Recover routines and many more.
  • CD-Text support read and write (your CD-recorder must support this feature).
  • Full access to large internet AudioCD database for archiving and managing your Audio CD`s.

ICQ-Userlist
I am just expanding the ICQ userlist (on my homepage) by the homepages of the listed users. Sadly I do not know all homepages. So I ask all listed ICQ users (and those who want to be listed): Have a look at if your homepage is listed, and use the submission form to have it listed. (Translation: mb)

AmiTech Dayton Amiga Users Group Project for the A2K Show
An offer to put your advertising in the AmiTech newsletter, which will be handed out for free to every visitor of the A2K Show, North America's largest Amiga show:

          Amitech Dayton Amiga Users Group Announces Advertising Opportunity

    With the demise of so many outlets for Amiga vendors and distributors to advertise in
these days it has become very difficult for those still supporting the Amiga to get the word
out that they are still around.  We at  AmiTech would like to invite you to advertise in our
March Special Show Edition Newsletter which will be distributed free to all attendees at the
A2K Amiga Show in St.Louis. This show has attendance in excess of 1100 people and is the
largest Amiga show in North America. This is a great chance to let people know about your
business, services and show specials.

    Take a look at our advertising rates. As you can see they are more than reasonable:

    All rates based on 8.5 x 11 page size: Full Page       - $16.00
                                                              Half Page      - $10.00
           Black and white text/art only           Quarter Page  - $7.00
                                                              Business Card - $4.00

                                                         All prices based on US dollars

    For more details please contact:
                                  Eric Schwartz - erics@coax.com (Newsletter editor)
                                                                 or
                                  Len Carsner   - nard@erinet.com (Secretary/Treasurer)

    All advertising must be to us no later than MARCH 5 to give us time to layout the
pages. All ads must be paid in advance to be included. Make checks/moneyorders payable to:

    Len Carsner/AmiTech                                               AmiTech User Group
            905 Boone Street                             OR                     P.O. Box 292684
        Piqua, Ohio 45356-1815                                             Kettering, Ohio 45429-0684

Now is the time to act! The Amiga appears ready to make the comeback we've all hoped for.
Make sure the people out there know who you are! If you can't make the show this a great
way to spread your name around. If you are going to St. Louis, putting an ad in the
newsletter is a terrific way to insure that those who attend know you are there and to call
attention to your show specials.

    Over 1100 people were at last years show. A lot of money was spent on Amiga items
of all kinds. Wouldn't you like to share in the fun and camaraderie that is an Amiga show,
and get the attention your business deserves? Contact us today!

Thank You

The Ticker v1.0
With "The Ticker", Amiga Central is offering a new service. Instead of visiting a web-site explicitly, the special Ticker program automatically displays the current headlines. To read the messages, all you have to do is clicking on the headlines.

The free program runs on Amigas with AmigaOS v3.x, 1 MB RAM, Internet connection and the Open URL Library 2.x. It has been developed by Chris Page (The World Foundry), the idea is from Chris Korhonen. Ports are planned for e.g. Linux, Windows and BeOS.

AROS and OAF
AROS will become the development section of OAF. OAF is the Open Amiga Foundation which COSA will turn into.

OAF will care about the public relations and contact to Amiga. They will collect all informations and summarize them for AROS, so AROS can concentrate on the development. They will also care about money and legal matters, which means a lot less work for AROS. (Translation: mb)

Delays with MorphOS
The developer package for MorphOS will not be released this month.

Main reason for this is that Frank Mariaks CyberstormPPC failed in late 1999, and it took Phase5 two send-in/send-back cycles to realize that it is beyond repair.

BattleIsle DataDisk 3
Marco Frischkorn writes:
I am missing some maps for a new DataDisk. Mainly one-player maps. If somebody has some of those on his hard drive, just send them. As basic map set I am using the graphics from BattleIsle 1. If someone has maps for the DataDisk 1 (desert / winter), I would be happy about them, too, even while there are only one third of the needed maps are present right now.

Please send maps to marco_frischkorn@amigadev.de. When possible write some lines in addition to the map, like sollutions, backgrounds, about the person, and that you aggree in distribution on an extra DataDisk. The maps are throughoutly tested by myself and two friends. As soon as the DataDisk 3 is ready, everyone will recieve it automatically. (Translation: mb)

DiskCopy v44.5 - fix
Andi from Future Visions writes:
On January 30th, 2000, the Amiga community was informed about the problems with the diskcopy v44.5 by amiga-news.de. At the title link, a link to our "Amiga Support Area" can be found, offering the utility "TrackCopy64" for download. This program enables access to tracks beyond the 4GB barrier. The support site alos lists an explanation of the diskcopy v44.5 problems. I ask for feedback by voluntary beta testers about problems occuring with TrackCopy64. Suggestions, questions and beta test reports please to support-computer@future-visions.de. (Translation: mb)

LightForce
Bad news on LightForce by StrangeWorlds:
On this weekend, the A4000 of Andreas Hippauf suffered a complete failure of the development partition. The development environments for LightForce, and the e-mail client YAM had to be reinstalled completely. Thanks to frequent backups, the sources were undamaged.

But the emails of (the) last month(s?) have been lost. If somebody has ordered the latest demo version and did not yet recieve it, please contact Andreas Hippauf again. Reminder: Due to the very low response to the e-mail feedback it has been decided to send out new demo versions only to interested users on request. The latest demo, by the way, already shows the usage of textures and extras, so it is well worth a look. (Translation: mb)
