31.8.2002 HIGHWAY & SUBWAY USB News
|
Open letter to all SUBWAY prospective customers
"Economy in Germany is not in a very good condition, and also our small
Amiga market is affected by this development. Beneath the usual summer
vacations we - as Amiga Classic hardware developper - suffer especially
from the (again and again) shifted availability of the new Amiga plattforms.
People prefer to save their money for these miraclous machines than to
spend it in their "old" hardware.
Due to this fact we have a hard
decision to make: at the trade show 2001 in Cologne we presented the
SUBWAY - the first USB solution for Amiga Classic. Due to the high demand
for the HIGHWAY Zorro version we shifted the SUBWAY production.

New saling status for Digital Almanac III
We all know what to think about product annoncements on the Amiga market.... nothing.
The availability of AmigaOS 4.0 seems to be unreachable as the stars. That's the
reason for new saling conditions for DA III:
1. As long as AmigaOS 4.0 does not exist, I won't spend a thought on DA IV. When time comes...
2. Because of the many changes and new features in DA III V4.9, this update will
not be available on the Internet, but it will be sold on a CD-ROM, as a full
version or update. The price for the full version will stay the same. The update
price is considered to be 10 EUR (plus shipping) vorgesehen. There is more than
30 MB of new data!
3. To make no announcements that I cannot keep, there is no specific point of time
planned for the release of DA III V4.9.

29.8.2002 No more G-Rex? Well at least 1/2 of that is incorrect!

ANN is reporting: "Regarding to Michal Bergseth (norwegian print magazine Amitopia),
who visited Germany, DCE has stopped the production of the G-Rex and the development
of drivers for it because of the big competition of Elbox."
VGR.com comment: "He could be 1/2 right. Visit the DCE site for their production
information. As far as the software & drivers, this has always been the work
of VFD, not DCE. There are still many things planned and in the works on the

"This survey is to determine the level of interest in port(s) to another
platform. This survey is not just a case of highest interest wins.
It is possible there will not be enough interest in any platform,
or sufficient interest to develop several new platforms."
"If you are already living the DTP dream, and don't need PageStream on
a new platform, but would like to see new features in PageStream
(or improvements to existing features), this is not the survey for you.
Don't worry, that survey will be coming soon!"
"Last but not least, please help get the word out! These platform surveys
will be collected until September 9th, with a public announcement of the
conclusions drawn from this result made shortly after. The announcement
will be posted here and on the PageStreamSupport list on yahoo groups.
We do reserve the right to continue the survey if needed!"

19.8.2002 IOUSB System 2.0 Update with OS 4 support
|
IOUSB, developed by IOSPIRIT, is a system for USB-device-drivers that
allows them to access USB stacks via a uniform API. Thus any driver
that builds upon it can theoretically be used with every USB-stack on
the AMIGA.
Apart from the already existing support for Poseidon (Highway/Subway,
MorphOS), support has been added for the Sirion-stack (Thylacine,
Highway/Subway) in cooperation with the AmigaOS 4.0 development team.
Thus it is now also possible to use devices covered by IOUSB with the
Thylacine USB-board and the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0.
The update to version 2.0 can be found on our download-page. It also
contains an update to version 1.1 of the iousbscanner.device fixing a
timing-problem with the Epson Perfection 1650.

an advanced classic AmigaOS currently offers. This was an important reason for
me to write a simple to understand WinUAE tutorial, so this would hopefully
help interested people with setting up a fun and easy to use emulated AmigaOS
environment on widely available mainstream Windows computers. This article

16.8.2002 dfx: is not a Catweasel!
|
A lot of inquiries about the dfx: interface have reached us during the past week.
The most frequently asked question was if dfx: uses Catweasel technology.
The answer is no! If you are looking for a floppy controller for a Pegasos,
AmigaOne or Amithlon that is as flexible and as fast as the Catweasel, your only
choice is the original.
In time with the release of the new mainboards, we
will have a Catweasel that fits on them.
Pre-orders are NOT taken. Even if it
has become common use in this market to charge money for things that are not even
developed yet, individual Computers only takes money for things that we can ship
next day.

16.8.2002 Open Letter from Raquel and Bill

Yesterday, Apple doubled the number of CPUs on their products -- but the price remains
the same -- dual 1Ghz G4s for $1699. Unbelievable!
For Raquel and I this means one
thing (beyond Apple has finally and completely fallen for the obvious clock speed, etc.
numbers game): Alternative (as in A-Expo, 7-8 September) operating systems have become
important -- very important!
This makes us really feel that our approach to
*eventually* sell Pegasos main boards as they are is RIGHT ON TARGET. Apple will

The worlds moste extensive and best DynDNS.org client for Amiga is now in
the new version 1.1 available.
We're very sorry for the long time which
has gone since last release, but there was really no way out.
AmiDynDNS has become a CLI/GUI hybrid now. As the public beta version 1.0
already showed, there is now a GUI to simplify the usage whithout cutting
the ability to use it completely from CLI.
Additionaly there were some
minor features added and some other things were removed. More information
on this topic could be found in the documentation. As usual AmiDynDNS is
for free download from our download section available.
Because the website is still in german only, here the

low prices. You simply supply common parts, such as hard drives and
other bits, and our kits supply all the hard-to-find parts and fully
illustrated plans so you can save money and enjoy building this yourself!"

14.8.2002 Software distribution via IOSPIRIT
|
IOSPIRIT, known worldwide for its high product quality and its well-accepted service,
is expanding its distribution activities. Thus we are looking for interesting programs
and projects, that lack a distribution partner or that want to open up new market
segments.
Distribution activities include the wide-spread mail-order distribution
and popular, modern Electronic Software Delivery (ESD), where everything is handled
digitally - from the customer´s payment to the product delivery. Besides we also offer
support aids like mailinglists and a FAQ-system.
Advertising (both banners and print),
flyers and our presence at exhibitions allows us to introduce the products distributed
through us to a broad public. Furthermore we already have a strong customerbase within
and outside Germany.
More general information and information about the advantages
of our distribution services can be found on the page "Distribution services" under
"Information" (left bar) or at the end of this message. Don´t hesitate to contact us
directly, if you are interested and want to learn more.

Ogg Vorbis 1.0 binaries (060/MOS)
- the audio codec that will conquer the world! Ahwell, maybe, maybe not, time will tell... in the
meantime you can atleast play around abit with it yourself.
Ogg Vorbis is quite a resource hog though,
so only 060 (barely usable on my 060/50) and MorphOS binaries included (ixemul required).
Finally, the encoder works! Updated all the binaries with some minor fixes from CVS, and changed
some options for slight speedup.

10.8.2002 "Butterfly Edition" of ScummVM
|
Today the "Butterfly Edition" of ScummVM for MorphOS was released. The core is the
current CVS version of ScummVM 0.2.0.
The "Butterfly Edition" contains many
improvements and optimisations in the MorphOS interface that affect the general
usability. The update is thus highly recommended. Comments and suggestions are
welcome as usual. Download
Due to a bug in the beta version of the cdda library, the CD audio of Monkey Island
may not work with certain CD-ROM drives. Regrettably, the current version of the
library does not work anymore with the public MorphOS demo. Those with access to
later betas may request a bugfixed version from me by

It's the birthday of the owner of individual Computers, so we have a small
present for our customers: A free tool called X-Clip that lets you share
the clipboard of a PC that networked with the X-Surf Ethernet board through
a file. Every computer in the intranet can have access to other clipboards
in the intranet. The tool is currently only available for Windows-based PCs.
We hope for support from Amiga-programmers to port it. Further, a readme
file is not yet included in the archive, but the program is pretty much
self-explanatory - just right-click on the "X" in the toolbar after startup
of the program, and choose the same path for all computers in the network.
A full manual will be added in the next few days.
Download: xclip100.exe (72 KByte)
Not only our regular customers, but also the ones who want to become
customers are invited: As a summer-special, the Catweasel-models "Catweasel
ISA" (PC-version) and "Catweasel Z-II S-Class" are discounted by 10,- EUR
starting today, until the end of august. The ISA version is now 59,- EUR,

5.8.2002 TF Announcing BETATESTER and Team Betatester!

The time has come for Thendic-France/bplan to start selling machines. We are not
going to call it the Pegasos for now. We are going to call the pre-release
version of the Pegasos with the pre-release version of MorphOS for PPC: BETATESTER.
MorphOS may not be ready for regular computer users, but it is ready for developers.
This coming weekend we will begin to sell the machines directly from Thendic-France.
We will sell all 15 machines we take with us for the SLACH PARTY CONTEST in Bordeaux
to people that agree to join «Team Betatester». We can take as many orders as there
is interest. We have decided to do this because in two weeks we will begin to
receive delivery of the first *1000* lot of BETATESTER mainboards. These will be
completely configured and ready to sell to developers who join Team Betatester by
Thendic-France. (Note: any mainboards not sold as BETATESTERS will be sold with
firmware only to our Linux distributors).

2.8.2002 Amiga Samba 2.0.7 (and maybe 2.2.5) on the way
|
"I have been working on something I didn't really want to tackle: write my own
'C' runtime library to port Samba 2.2.x with. Some 430 functions later I now have
a codebase at hand which just about covers the ISO 'C' (1994) functionality, minus
the wide character support. That was a hell of a lot of work to be done, I can
tell you. One of the many nice things this library does is to compile both with
SAS/C and GCC. This makes testing with a source level debugger possible. Other
neat bits: socket I/O is transparently integrated into the file I/O architecture
of the library, stack size checking and extension is supported (for GCC), the
library is plastered with debugging and checking code, Amiga operating system
functions are used wherever this is convenient (e.g. locale), and almost everything
is written in portable 'C'.
As an exercice, I started to port the SAS/C Samba
2.0.7 port to GCC, using the new library."

suitable land, but couldn't find a proper place yet. Nobody so far has seen the

1.8.2002 New product: Flickerfixer Indivision
|
Our external flickerfixer for all Amiga models solves a year-old problem
in a way like no similar product did before. The special thing: Even if
the Amiga is connected to video-mixing equipment (so-called genlock
interfaces), Indivision will show a perfect picture.
Today's monitors and flatscreens cannot display certain Amiga screen
modes that are closely related to video standards. A Flickerfixer
converts the picture to a format that complies with the VGA-standard.
Technically spoken: The line frequency is 31.25 khz, and the vertical
frequency is at least 50 Hz (60 on NTSC).
Indivision is available in quantities. The price is 99,- EUR including
the German VAT of 16%. Orders are either taken directly via eMail, or
through our resellers.

1.8.2002 iFusion Depends on the Market!
|
"[..] I asked Virtual Programming's sales deaprtment the following:
'Will Virtual Programming be continuing sale of the FUSION and iFUSION
products for the Amiga in the future? Will the company be continuing
the development of the product with Jim Drew and Microcode Solutions?'
Answer:
'It depends upon the market. Certainly there is no market for the classic
Amiga now, but we are in touch with the right people to see about an OS4
version of iFusion. We will have to see how this develops.'"
Shouldn't delivering either non-functional (BlizzardPPC) or half-functional
(CyberStormPPC) software for 150 GBP, then considering the situation
resolved, be a illegal? [ExiE]
