Sorry for wasting bandwith, but there's a Silents Megademo I,
which have some good (well, at least they are better than the
ones in "Global Trash") tunes. I can rip all of'em but the end-music
(which is the best IMHO). Has anyone ripped that one ?
If so, please put it on a FTP-site !

A while back (at least 4 years!) there were some plans floating around
for building an audio digitizer to work off of the serial port.
Anyone know where I can ftp them from?

Thanks,

I just purchased the 1012 yesterday and I got a fujitzu 500Meg drive today
I'm hoping to see if all you say about the card is really true (I'm hoping).

I had some strange hiccupping when I was playing from RAM and this may be
due to the default buffer size.

Looks like a great product and I'll give my mini-review later if it deviates
much from Brian's.

It's nice... but one bit sounds JUST like the opening to the old Alan
Parsons Project song, "Eye in the Sky". Same little

:)  I think a few more guidelines would help a bit more too.  For one thing,
I honestly think 15K is just a little too limiting (even though Zap managed
to pull it off pretty well :).  25K is better...or 30K.  Also, there
should be a minimum running time...say, 1:30 minutes.  And at least 5K of
music data (to avoid monotinous repeating of 2 patterns..even though I
think it's a given that such a mod wouldn't "win" :).  Actually, 5K of
music is also a bit small.  7-8K would be better (but I know 5K is more
than enough for SOME types of mods :).  Other things... I think "K"
should be interpreted as "1000 bytes", since that's what most would assume
anyways :).  Hmm... it'd be nice if we could limit the contest to
ProTracker-only, but we'd peobably lose about 5% of everyone who wants
to try it :).  But most importantly, there should be no "SYNTH" samples.

Anyone else want to add more? :)

	Could you give us (me) some specs on this TG100?
I'm a keyboardist and am interested in new products, but
I haven't heard of this unit. Is it related to the TG33 (SY22,etc)?
If so, is it an improvement, how many voices, what type of
sampling/synthesis, etc. Thanks.

	Are you talking about the Turrican II Remix?  Cuz I have ripped all the music from Turrican II and the title tune I have is in TFMX 7 Voice format and all the others are in TFMX v1.5 (or Pro can't remember).  The title tune that is playing in Turrican tune is definately not an NT module.

This was in December CU Amiga, page 10:

"A cut-price, cut-down console-like version of the CDTV is set for launch
before next Easter.  Although plans for the new machine, aimed at taking on
the SNES and Megadrive in the burgeoning console market, have been kept
underwraps, we can exclusively reveal that the new machine will be
competitively priced and come in at below #200 (200 UK pounds).  No specs
are currently available although at least five UK software houses are
currently developing titles."

This reminds me of Eggebrecht's talk:

- AGA will be put into all models of the Amiga, including the CDTV.  Also CDTV
  technology will be brought to the entire Amiga line.

- Full motion video support is well on its way.  The feature is here now, but
  the development systems for this technology is not.

- Prime goal with the CDTV is to cost reduce it and then enhance it.

Any more info, anyone?  Or speculations?  :-)

 Absolutely you will be able

If this was possible, DEC would be doing it with vax/vms software.
They aren't.  They are making peope recompile it. 

And we ALL KNOW that Amiga users are MUCH MORE LIKELY to hack into the
hardware features then VMS programmers.

YOU are deluded if you think a Motorola->Alpha with operating system
AND software transition can take place in less then 4 years.  C= is
more likely to cut the Amiga line "loose" and move on to bigger and
better things.  Maintaining backwards compatibility over such a huge
chasm is just plain silly.

Hell, programs break from one Motorola generation to the next, much
less Motorola to Alpha.

In time, the alpha will be out of date!  Please don't spew the DEC

Bullshit.  Newer, better, more advanced CPUs will come along.

And even if the Alpha keeps it's technical edge.  If it's the most
advanced CPU, it will be the most expensive.  As will the bus, RAM and
hard disk to go with it.

Wrong.    It   has   lots   of   general  OS  improvements.   Like  palette
sharing/locking  mechanisms,  24  bit  palette  support (obviously this was
needed  for  AGA),  the  datatypes  system, AmigaGuide, improvements to the
speed  of  many system routines (like graphics functions), new system pens,
an  improved  palette  preferences  program  (with a colourwheal, which any
application can use in its own windows), miscelaneous changes to Workbench,
etc etc.

Don't  bet  on it.  If we're really going to get that DSP soon, I'd imagine
any  DSP  support  files  (library?  Device?) would be distributed with the
hardware.  I don't think they'd release 3.1 for quite a while.  I hope they
make  some really cool OS support for that DSP (like, some way for multiple
tasks to use it at once)

That's not right.  In fact, that's not even wrong.  First of all, 
memory protection has little to do with writing to the disk.
For instance, the section of code that writes to the disk
on the Amiga is in ROM.  ROM is generally considered to be
rather 'protected'.

So, lets talk about filesystems.  Generally, user programs are allowed
to read and write files.  This means a virus could too.

---

What memory protection generally does is enforce a seperation between
currently running user level processes.  Sure, this could protect
against one class of viruses, but saying that memory protection
prevents viruses is as ill-informed as saying that having the 
operating system in ROM prevents viruses.

Who wouldn't?  But at the moment they cost a little more then a $400.00
CD-ROM drive.

Think of the CD-ROM as an intermediate step.  R/W drives that accept
CDs will become popular after CDs are popular.
