`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.

`31.Jan.2001` Achim Stegemann on ANF	Shared ZLib-Library for PPC At the Aminet there now is a shared library for the popular ZLib compression (gzip) running on 68k as well as under WarpOS! The archive can be downloaded from Aminet under util/libs/zlib-library.lha. The library is freeware, source code and developer stuff for the StormC compiler are included for interested people. I would be pleased if the library were supported by Xarc programmers and others. According to the PPC used speed can reach about 5 MB/s (unpacking) or 1 MB/s (!!, packing) at packing rates up to 75% (text)! The zlib.library also will be utilized in the new version of Digital Almanac III, cause this will give executables about 30kB smaller than before. [News message: 31.

`31.Jan.2001` Richard Kapp on ANF	GFX Lists Update Thanks to the help of many Amiga users the lists with Amiga games and demos supporting graphics boards could be enlarged with many entries. The layout of this site was enhanced and designed more predictable, too. Moreover there is a new list on the site (Amiga section) listing programs supporting multiple CPU's (on installation). Since one often doesn't remember which programs offer an optimized version e.g. for the 060 after the computer was accelerated this list might be helpful. [News message: 31.

`31.Jan.2001` Apex Designs	Payback in Progress In the current status report #18 Apex Designs announced that the new game 'Payback' will be in trade in about two weeks. At the same time a playable demo version will be made available for download. In an interview with the Amiga-Future the programmer James Daniels described Payback as follows: "The player takes the part of young driver on the run and tries to become a big gangsters' boss. The game is completely non-linear. To finish a level the player simply has to collect a certain amount of points. How to achieve this is up to him-/herself. You can act on the local Kingpins' advice, uncover secret missions or join a gunfight. There are a lot of hidden surprises to discover, so one must play the game several times to find all of the extras. The game was inspired by Grand Theft Auto, but I invested much effort into the game to make sure it will lick GTA in all respects." [News message: 31.

`30.Jan.2001` Steffen Haeuser on ANF	Descent 2 Port for Amiga Some time ago I've started a Descent 2 port for the Amiga (WarpUP and 68k version). Unfortunately I'm not able to finish this port due to lack of time, cause among other things I'm working on commercial games for the Amiga :-). (And these are yet more important than porting an old game). An interested programmer who would like to finish this port may contact me at any time and receive the current source code. Current stage: Crashes on leaving (and sometimes also on leaving a level, I guess memory freed twice) Warp3D support comes miscoloured (but software renderer works) Network support doesn't work In case of the "Bobbing Movement" I'm not sure, if it looks like it should do. Still a lot of debug output inside of the source Cockpit isn't displayed correctly The code was compiled with StromC-gcc or gcc-WarpOS.

Steffen Haeuser is cited from a news group posting: "Due to missing documentations there will not be any 3D hardware driver or Voodoo5."

`30.Jan.2001` Heise [Newsticker]	Heise: Forbidden to Despair ;-) »Who wants to vent one's displeasure by the emoticon :-( risks a draconian punishment. Wrongdoers have to write a thousand times: ":-( is a registered trademark of Despair, Inc.". Albeit the punishment claimed already indicates the satiric character of this action – reality beggars all presiflage. The Despair company really has booked the trademark ":-(" – in dependence on the smiley ":-)" pronounced as frowny – at the US patent office in 1998. And the office in point of fact granted this application in May 2000.« Complete article under the title link (German). [News message: 30.

`30.Jan.2001` Jan Devos via eMail	3ivx, Ready for Global Television! The video compression format '3ivX' is now officially implemented in MooVId and SoftCinema. At the request of a reader here a link to a 3ivX test-movies page. Following the complete press release: January 29, 2001- Happy Machines releases the second preview of their next generation video compression technology called 3ivx. Small file size and high quality video is one part of the 3ivx advantages, the other one is the truly multi-platform nature. This is great for video conferencing, video-on-demand, broadband content providing, interactive television but also for UMTS (or G3 mobile phones) implementations. True mutli-platform support means that it is available for Windows: Windows Media Player plug-in or QuickTime plug-in MacOS: QuickTime plug-in Linux (x86, PPC) & Solaris: XAnim BeOS: Media Player plug-in Amiga: WarpUP (MooVId for 68k & PPC) and PowerUP (SoftCinema) The decoder is available on the site right now. For the moment, however, the encoder is reserved for 3ivx partners. "Quality and multi-platform is one thing, but particularly important for the movie studios is encryption, watermarking and Digital Rights Management" said Jan Devos, President of Happy Machines. "That's why we made sure our 3ivx codec is standard compatible with most of the encryption and DRM systems available" "I was amazed by the quality" explained Mr. Alan Redhouse, Chairman of the Eyetech Group. "That's why we are bundling this codec with our next generation AmigaOne hardware". The current release is 5 to 20% better than the most efficient codecs out there. In comparison with MPEG-2 that means a ratio of 1:12 while near DVD quality. This indicates that the 3ivx video codec, while still in development, is already one of the best. There is a lot of interest in such a high performance codec. The 3 million page views on the 3ivx.com web-site after the first preview release in December show that very well. Happy Machines also referred to as the Think-Tank is a small Belgian company representing an extremely creative team and a large international network of inventors, software and hardware developers, designers in various fields such as imaging, satellite communications, artificial intelligence, machinery etc., which has contacts with top-manufacturers worldwide. The company is also member of the MPEG-group and is an Inmarsat partner. It is orientated on project development and related intellectual properties.

`30.Jan.2001` Christoph Dietz	More Details on zAMilo As already reported, "AmigaDE zAMilo V0.098" is running as http server on a test server at Amiga, Inc.. Christoph Dietz has asked Gary Peake and Götz Ohnesorge for more information about the http server 'zaMilo' utilized on test.amigadev.net: Amiga-News: Hello Gary and Götz! It came to our attention that the webserver on test.amigadev.net is running an zAMilo. The testpage tells that the server is installed since november. Did you install it? Gary Peake: Yes, we installed it here at Amiga Inc. on our Linux based servers running the Amiga SDK. Amiga-News: On which OS is the system running? AmigaDE isn't running native, is it? Gary Peake: We run Red Hat on the servers. AmigaSDK is being hosted there. zAMilo runs on AmigaSDK. Amiga-News: What does "zAMilo" stand for? Is it a mixed up akronym for "Mozila" (with an "l" missing.) Götz Ohnesorge: "zAMilo" is a http server written by Patrick Roberts from Atrix. You can find more about it in the programs readme: "zAMilo is a mini-http server. The compiled lite binary is less that 4k and is very fast. It was inspired by zilo by Stefan Hellkvist which was created by Ericsson to run on their mobile phones. zAMilo serves simple http GET requests, which is enough for most sites. It also has the ability to serve the stdout of any other tool as an html document. In this way it emulates rsh via http." Amiga-News: The server was down on friday. Did it crash because of the attention it got? Or was it only deactivated for maintenence? Gary Peake: We are doing a lot of changing to our servers at the moment and had to take it down for a bit. It will be up and down for the next week or two as we shift some things around. Amiga-News: Thank you Gary and Götz for this informations! Contact Information Amiga Inc.
