31.5.2001 AmiSoft closes
|
"As of Friday 25th May, Amisoft will cease all operations. Although things did look promising
a while back, Amisoft can no longer generate a profit it its current state. A costly court
battle with another company hit Amisoft hard, couple this with recent poor figures in the
Amiga sales market, and you can see that there were a lot of factors which determined our
future, whether we liked it or not. Amisoft was in operation from 1989, selling both hardware
and software."

31.5.2001 A1200 + BlizzardPPC + WarpUP = iFUSION ?
|
"The fix for Blizzard users is WarpUP, which can only be made by H&P. iFusion
has to use WarpUP, and it is simply unfortunate that the WarpUP software has
problems with the Blizzard.
Sam Jordan has been extremely busy, but we did
receive a post from him yesterday which indicates he can spend more time fixing
this problem very soon:
We have assurances from H&P that this issue will
be resolved, but they do have other priorities.
I hope things will be sorted
soon, but we really cannot influence the manpower placed on WarpUP."

AmIRC 3.5.14beta is now
available to all registered users. Featuring various bug fixes and minor enhancements.
The new version of the asyncio.library (v40.5) for WarpOS fixes a hopefully a little bug,
that caused some troubles on a few Amigas.
* Removed "SPrintf"-dummy from code. It seems to work now.
* Replaced "PutXMsg" with "PutMsg". It seems, that "PutXmsg" caused some trouble on a few Amigas.
* Should run a bit faster then before.
Archive will be avilable soon on Aminet.
A new update of Safe v15.7 has been

30.5.2001 Petsoff and individual Computers join forces
|
After a long wait, the powerful Delfina soundboard with a DSP (digital signal processor) goes back
into production at the facilities of individual Computers. The board has partly been re-designed
on the Zorro side to improve performance to a level that has never been reached on a stock Zorro-II
bus. The "Delfina Flipper edition" can transfer more than 5MB/sec through the bus. This speed can
either be used to playback more voices at the same time through AHI than any other soundcard before,
or to reduce the CPU load while playing back single voices. All known DSP functions and programs
for the existing Delfina boards will also work on the new boards, including the killer-application:
MP3 playback with minimum CPU load. A stock Amiga without accelerator can playback MP3 at best
quality with the Delfina!
Toccata emulation and AHI software interface let you use any soundcard-compatible software with
Delfina Flipper. A Midi expansion module will let you use Midi expanders and keyboards for input
and output.
Individual Computers has also reduced the cost of the Delfina dramatically. The
retail price will be around 370,- DM (189,- EUR). The new boards will ship in summer 2001.

the packs are very large, and could take some time to download. They also should be

As a bonus included with the Icons is a small

28.5.2001 Matrox G550 Final Specifications
|
Apparently, the final specifications of the G550 have been leaked by 'reliable sources'
over at x-bit labs. See what the Matrox G550 is built out of:
"G550 core will have 2 RAMDACs. Primary RAMDAC will work at 360MHz, while the secondary RAMDAC
will work at 230MHz. So, the highest resolution on the primary monitor will make 2048x1536 and
on the secondary monitor 1600x1200, at 32bit color mode. As for DualHead technology, it will
work in the following modes: multi-display, DVDMax, zoom, clone, TV-Out, Snapshot, and will
feature eDualHead browser enhancements. Also G550 will support dual-DVI. [..] G550 will have
2 pixel pipelines with 2 texturing unit each. 3D performance of G550 will be comparable with
GeForce2 MX 200 or RADEON VE or even lower. Matrox's brand HeadCasting engine is none other
but a T&L unit supporting extended Vertex Shaders and matrix palette skinning. G550 will
also support EMBM. G550 will be made with 0.18micron technology and have dual integrated CRTCs,
RAMDACs, TMDS and one integrated TV encoder. The cards based on G550 will be equipped with 16MB
or 32MB DDR SDRAM with 64bit interface. G550 based cards with 32MB memory are expected to cost
around $140."

21.1.2001 ProStationAudio 4.10, 24bit import and enhacements
|
The current trend in the audio industry is to propose alternatives to 16bit audio storage.
Efforts are targeting opposite directions: uncompressed high resolution (24bit/96KHz) and
high compression ratios (MPEG). In order to keep up to date in handling data generated by
latest Mac and Windows audio applications the new ProStationAudio 4.10 now can import and
convert to 16bit for multitrack editing from:
24bit/96KHz (packed data, mono and stereo) AIFF (Macintosh)
24bit/96KHz (packed data, mono and stereo) WAV(Windows)
Raw MP3 files
WAV MP3 files (0x55 format)
WAV MP3 files (0x50 format)
Shoutcast live streaming MP3
Enhancements over 4.05 include a mouse-over capability that allows to inspect objects'
attributes by moving the mouse pointer over the timeline, and fixes. The product is ready
now, there's no new public demo for 4.10. ProStationAudio 4.10 will also be available to
current customers in a few days, free update as always.
ProStationAudio runs on AmigaOS (classic only) systems (Amigas and Dracos). An additional
version (for Windows) is in the works.

20.5.2001 ImageFX Warehouse Clearance - Get ImageFX 4 for only $99.95!
|
"Your eyes aren't deceiving you - the price is correct. You can buy ImageFX 4,
that's the very latest release, on CDROM, for the amazingly low price of only $99.95!
Why so low?
The reason is that we over-ordered CDROMs and now we have more CDROMs
than manuals. Since ImageFX does have built-in help to provide you with documentation
and it's as simple as a one-click to install this isn't a problem for most. We've also
noticed over the years that lots of people never read the manual anyway!

8.5.2001 iFUSION Update!
|
The new update to iFusion V1.2.0 is now finally available for download from the iFusion section
on the Blittersoft website. This upgrades fixes some
issues on clean-up upon exit. This allows iFusion to be run multiple times after exit. However,
due to limitations in WarpOS about MMU tables, iFUSION now uses 2M to 3M more memory for MMU
tables than it did previously.
There are two versions of the updater, one to upgrade
iFusion 1.0.0 and one to upgrade iFusion 1.0.1. Check the version on your CD by taking note of
the version number reported when you run your current version of iFusion. Please ensure you
download the appropriate updater for your version.

5.5.2001 Digital Almanac III - Update and News
|
An update for the well-known astronomy program "Digital Almanac III" is available for upgrade
to version 3.3.
Highlights:
* Improved and functional toolbar with buttons in the GlowIcon style by Martin Merz.
* Calculation of "killer asteroids" (so called PHA's). What asteroid will come closest to Earth ?
* IFF-ANIM compression now also done in PPC mode. Also saving anims and screenshots will only save the star map area, no more the full screen.
* The screen has a name and an optional screen bar with depth gadget is available via menu item. This allows some comodities to access the DA III screen.
Bugfixes:
* Printer output was distorted since several versions.
* Some orbits of minor bodies were drawn wrong because of wrong perihelion calculation.
The update will be sent via email to all registered users. Customers, who have ordered DA III,
but haven't received the CD yet, don't need to upgrade, as their CD will contain this latest
version! Read more

2.5.2001 IBM extends PowerPC roadmap to 2GHz+

"IBM has updated its PowerPC roadmap with plans to take its G3-class processors to 2GHz and beyond
- a move that will see the company finally re-seal the breach with PowerPC partner Motorola and
incorporate AltiVec technology into its microprocessors.
Alas, Big Blue's timeframe for all
this is decidedly vague - the company appears to have taken another leaf out of Motorola's book
here - but the basic plan calls for a shift up from the current 700MHz peak speed of the PowerPC
750CXe to 1GHz and up, followed by a later shift up to 2GHz and beyond."
