`01.Feb.2001` Ignatios Souvatzis via eMail	New NetBSD Amiga Drivers Drivers for Individual Computer's "ISDN Surfer" and Zeus Development's "ISDN Link". The NetBSD Amiga driver for the Siemens ISDN chip-set got support for two more cards for the Zorro-bus added. Individual Computer "ISDN Surfer", id 4626/5 Zeus Development "ISDN Link", id 2189/3 Up to now already supported: BSC ISDN Master 2092/64 ITH ISDN Master II 5000/1 VMC ISDN Blaster 5001/1 The interrupt level for the ISDN Surfer is software managed, other cards must be switched to IPL 2 by jumper setting. Closer information about the isdn4bsd configuration are to find inside of the included electronic manual pages (man isdnd) and here. Those drivers as well as the entire ISDN sub-system are content of NetBSD-current, the development part of NetBSD, and will occur in the NetBSD-1.6 release. External testers are asked to run a release of the 1.5 part until 1.6 has been published; for 1.5 the last released isdn4bsd-0.96_BETA is available as additional package (but without drivers for ISDN Surfer or ISDN Link).

`01.Feb.2001`	The 600th wins Shortly we will have 600 entry's in our "Amiga Link Directory". For us it is a pleasure and the reason to give away one copy of the game "Simon the sorcerer II" to the person whomes website will make the 600th entry. Of course also for this reason our policy to become part of the ALD will be the same as ever. It's not possible to get an entry if you're simply having an Amiga at home. To make an entry in the ALD your website must concentrate on the Amiga subject, (too). E.g. presentation of programs, developments or your own Amiga computer. Telling us about your website will not automatically qualify for an entry. Until the winner was determined no new entered websites will be published in the ALD to prevent somebody from waiting for #599. [News message: 01.

`01.Feb.2001` Virtual Dimension	Virtual Dimension 10th Anniversary! Yesterday was a day to party for Virtual Dimension: their 10th anniversary! To duly celebrate this you will happen to see several things from VD during the year. At first there is the show-video from the World of Amiga in Cologne, which unfortunately took some more time to be finished this year due to technical problems - but meantime the time is right for VD to go to the studios for speech sampling. Congratulations to the Virtual Dimension team :-) [News message: 01. Feb. 2001, 18:20] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`01.Feb.2001` Albrecht Kinzkofer on ANF	PicassoIV / ZorroIII Survey Project Who has got a ZorroIII Amiga A3000(T) or A4000(T) and a PicassoIV graphics board and can use the PicassoIV only if it was "forced" to ZorroII mode via jumper setting (Zorro auto detect off)? Who has got an A4000 with DMA capable SCSI card or an A4000T and an elder PicassoIV with "bridge version $1" (see P4Info-Output), running the PicassoIV trouble-less in ZorroIII mode (WITHOUT the ZorroII jumper set)? Does one of the above apply to you? Then write to me! Contact address: Albrecht Kinzkofer. List as much details as possible about your Amiga hardware, even if it seems to be unimportant: Which model, when did you purchase it, which CPU board, which expansion boards, which modifications done, which RAM equipment, "Buster revision, P4Info-Output, etc. I have got such a ZorroIII problem and I'm working on a solution and looking for "companions in trouble". If I was able to solve this problem (assumedly by replacing two socket chips), I would try to help others concerned (e.g. by centralized buying). At the time being I'm doing some "basic research", hence write to me if one of the above terms apply to you. Thank you very much. Albrecht Kinzkofer [News message: 01.
