BarsnPipes New: Further development canceled
Alfred Faust wrote: With these words I announce to the Amiga/MorphOS/OS4-users-commuity that because for health reasons I had to make up my mind to cancel the further development of the probably best multimedia-MIDI-sequencer called BarsnPipes New.
This decision has been very diffucult because I have been developing this program for almost 10 years with great pleasure. I am not the person who started this program but who developed it further. Therefore I want to say thank you to Todor Fay and his brilliant co-programmers - for one of the best programs which has been ever written for the AMIGA.
Nevertheless, as long as I am able I will read and answer the eMails of the Newsgroups.

Indivision ECS and Apollo 630 in Amiga 600
On his "extreme A500 upgrading page" Christian Krenner has documented how he managed to upgrade his Amiga 600 as much as possible. The computer has now an Indivision-Scandoubler, a 68030-CPU with 40 MHz, 34 MByte RAM, 20 GByte harddrive, PCMCIA-Network card as well as USB- and VGA-ports.
The author particularly points out that the combination Apollo 630 and Indivision ECS developed by Individual Computers is not supported! If you build the same combination you do it at your own risk.
