driver software for laser Bytei & McScotty (Pascal & Rainer) write: For about 6 years we run a small laser show rental. Our lasers are exclusively driven by Amigas (1200 50 MHz 10 MB 68030+Co). Sadly, our driver software leaves a lot to be desired! The developer of the software (Edward Skorus) has given us sourcecodes and rights. For a long time now we are looking for alternatives or someone able to expand the driver software. Is there someone among your readers who knows this stuff, or knows someone who knows?

Foundation News A new update will be released ASAP. The last version 1.25 was not released because this update has been done for the new version 'Foundation Directors Cut', and was not fully compatible to the old 'Foundation' version. Paul Burkey works on the new Update 1.26 and is trying to make this update compatible with the old version, too. Moreover, Paul informs also that he is increasing his work on 'Foundation's Edge', and that this work is taking most of his time. (ps) [News message: 02.

FMdriver Update Version 1.12 Stefan Robl writes: The FMdriver packet has been improved further: All programs can now save in IFF format, too (8 as well as 24 bit). All problems with flicker or lines in small resolutions should be fixed, the FPS rate now looks much more stable, too. A serious bug has been removed that occured when there was no Prism24 module connected. The FMRecorder now offers several file formats, so it will work with every video software.

Fast 3D gfx chip by nVidia Heise writes, among other: California gfx chip manufacturer nVidia presented the 3D chip for PC graphic gards previously dubbed "NV10" in Berlin. The GeForce 256 is the first graphic chip for consumer PCs that processes and displays 3D data mainly on its own. With 23 million transistors, the GeForce 256 is more than twice as complex as a Pentium-III CPU (9 million transistors). Since it does geometry transformations and lighting calculations much faster than the PC CPU, it can create 3D objects and 3D virtual realities with much more detail and fluid moves. Thus, PC games can make use of curved and organic structures like in movies a la "Toy Story" and "A Bug's Life". (Full article - German - at the title link). Here is another interesting link on the subject. (ps) [News message: 31. Aug. 1999, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Seybold Conference: First Macs with PowerPC G4 CPU MacGadget, among others, writes: As expected, Apple CEO Steve Jobs presented a new generation of Macintosh computers in his keynote to the Seybold Conference in San Francisco, which are powered for the first time by the top-performing PowerPC G4 CPU. Apple called the new Macs "supercomputers", offering significantly more speed than the current Power Macintosh G3 product line. Apple starts shipping the first 400 MHz G4 system today. Versions with 450 and 500 MHz are bound to follow in the next two weeks. The main performance specs are a 2x AGP bus, integrated AirPort technology, an Ultra 66 ATA system and an accelerated PCI bus. Jobs spend special attention on the AltiVec technology. This especially speeds up operations heavy on numerical calculations, like graphic applications. A special AltiVec-optimised expansion to Photoshop is included with every G4 Mac. The new systems will cost between 1599 and 3499 USD. A PowerPC G4 with 500 MHz is said to be much faster than a Pentium III with 600 MHz. The Power Macintosh G4 will be shipped in the same casing as the current G3 line, but not in blue-white but silver-white. The new configurations in overview: Power Mac G4/400, 64 MB memory, 10 GByte-HD, 32speed CD-ROM; 1599 $ Power Mac G4/450, 128 MB memory, 20 GByte-HD, DVD-ROM; 2499 $ Power Mac G4/500, 256 MB memory, 27 GByte-HD, DVD-RAM; 3499 $ (More details at the title link - German -) (ps) [News message: 31.
