I have build the Elbox-Mediator PCI Board into my showroom tower and I am very pleased with the VooDoo 3000/16MB graphicsboard I also build in, since this duo is faster than my private CybervisionPPC. (showroom tower: Blizzard 1260, Private: CyberstormPPC 233/060/50).

A question concerning this subject: Is there interest to buy the Mediator-PCI Board/ PCI graphics board directly with a licensed version of the Picasso96 drivers? If you are interested please send an email to martin@coolbits.de. If there is enough interest I will contact the makers of the drivers to ask for the price of such a deal.

By the way, here is a tip for all those who own EXODUS in combination with a CybervsionPPC (maybe also other graphics boards:
The game ran extremely slow on my computer until I removed the program "PREPAREMUL" of Shapeshifter from my startup-sequence.

Amiga Sound Standards and How to Destroy Them (Part 1)
Joern Plewka wrote:
In the past Katodev had to fight the fact that internally there wasn't enough menpower available. That's why it was impossible for us to participate in certain discussions. The things that head towards us now (criticism about AMPlifier) is from our point of view hard and "generated".

Katodev and others are trying to support all of the existing standards those usable from concept. We'd like to point out that the mpeg.device has been released 1993 by Commodore (picture and sound). All cards with hardware MPEG-support that were released after that have used this driver. CD32-FMV, Peggy+, Melody-Z2, Melody1200 series and also the Delfina series. For the later even the source code is available on Aminet. Those who are now still not capable of writing a correct driver for their hardware should simply ask for help or make their hardware layout available for everyone!

AMPlifier supports this standard. Those who create a driver for their hardware can use this software unlicensed. AMPlifier is part of OS3.9 or available on our homepage (unrestricted shareware) in Rev. 2.21. Those who don't like the software should write their own, but please support the standards!

Silversurfer does NOT Work with Melody1200
Joern Plewka wrote:
Since the Cologne fair previous to this year's fair the Silversurfer in it's original state doesn't work correctly with Melody1200 since the complete clockport is blocked, which is in contradiction with what the manufacturer states at his homepage. This information isn't even available to users when they ask for support. Katodev is fed up with fixing Silversurfers without complaining, by now. Currently it seems that even the software does NOT work with Melody1200 anymore.

If Silversurfer and Melody1200 can't work together simultaneoulsy it means that Melody can die from bus-collisions, sooner or later. Please get a guaranty on purchase that Silversurfer does the things you require or use Twister1200. This makes you preventing a lot of anger, port and time for you and us.

We have reconstructed the layout of the Silversurfer now. This shows that the IRQ runs over a diode. Those having problems due to this "trick" should replace the diode by a transistor (e.g. BS170).

VirusHelp Denmark: New Informationen on New Trojan
I have received some new info about the new trojan that was found on the 27'th of December. It is spread in an archive with the name "dcs-4k.lha". But the demo group have nothing to do with this new trojan. We have also been told that it is a guy from England and that he also made the "dkg-blum.lha" trojan, his name and address is known to Virus Help Denmmark. Thanks to Mikko for the new info.

Here once more the full information on the new archive (we had posted these on 12/27/2000 already):

Today we received a new 'lame' trojan. This trojan will delete your "sys:" if you run the program. At this time non of the anti-virus programs can detect this trojan, but in the next update they will be known.

The cure right now (If you have lost your SYS: to bad......), then you will have to try and get the files back with eg. DiskSalv, AB-Tools or VT-Schutz.

Here is some info about the infected archive:

Virus Type.... : Trojan
Trojan name....: 4KIntro.exe
Trojan size....: 4096 bytes (packed with StoneCracker 4.04)
: 6072 bytes (un-packed)
Archive name.. : dcs-4k.lha
Archive size.. : ? (Not known yet)

This archive has been send to all the antivirus programers.....

Thanx to Ryben Kozlak for the info and sending the archive to us..

Visitor #2,000,000 on amiga-news.de
Last night, the 2,000,000th visitor came to our website. Joe has sent us a screenshot of the 'event'. A proud number for 27 months. This turns out about 74,074 visitors per month, with rising tendency. Currently, between 6,000 and 8,000 readers visit us per day!

This is the opportunity to thank you for this great acceptance. We are very happy, especially about the fact that more and more programmers, developers, and readers take the chance to enter news in our Amiga News Forum (ANF) themselves.

As you certainly know, we are a team of Amiga users who invest a large amount of their spare time in this project. That's exactly why we are happy about your feedback and of course most of all about every support, as without all your help, amiga-news.de wouldn't have emerged to what it is today: one of the best news services for the Amiga :).

Picasso96 Driver for Mediator
Sufficient demand for Picasso96 drivers for Mediator provided, that is about 300 registered users (specify Mediator for purpose when registering), in case of need we will purchase a complete developer- and test-system with our own funds, and then create own drivers for diverse PCI graphics boards. This drivers will then be of quality known form us.

But Elbox mentioned to us that they already would have shipped two systems to Germany for other driver development (CGX). Well, it would be in our terms to provide us one of these. To charge UPS with delivery cannot cost the world.....

Another problem would be accessing the API of the Mediator system's pci.library. Elbox provides this only for NDA, though they don't feel themselves to be bound to such concinnities, see their unauthorized Voodoo3-P96 driver...
If they would refuse us to access this, of course this would raise a certain problem which could lead to slightly delays.

Supplement 12-29-2000:
Tobias Abt via eMail:
Afterwards we got the information that this developer system provided to the CGX team was distributed by Vesalia, but financed by Elbox.
