World News
Here you will be able to read the hottest news from all over the world. Of course, this will be computer news. If you know any news in Latvia or the world, let us know about it!
First, the latest news about the best home and second best animation (after SILICON GRAPHICS INC) computer, the AMIGA. More and more independent companies are starting to manufacture their own AMIGA-compatible computers.
For example, the German company MACROSYSTEMS GMBH has developed the DraCO computer with a MOTOROLA 68060 processor. Its operating systems are Amiga OS and UNIX. DraCO is fully compatible with Amiga, though some peripheral devices cannot be connected to it. The first configuration will come with 4MB RAM.
Meanwhile, the company SILENT PAWS PRODUCTIONS from the USA has finished the development of portable A600, A1200, A3000, and A4000 models.
The company DESKSTATION TECHNOLOGIES has created the most powerful Amigas so far — RAPTOR II (133MHZ) and RAPTOR+ (266 MHZ). These models are good competitors to SILICON GRAPHICS INC, as their price is only 10 000£ and 14 000£. Furthermore, they feature the best 3D software: IMAGINE and LIGHTWAVE.
RAMIGA INTERNATIONAL has completed work on Amiga platforms: Z5 (A1200) and Z7 (A4000). These are MINI-TOWER systems with an increased number of ZORRO 2 and ZORRO 3 buses to allow connecting more peripheral devices. This model also has other improvements.
Even though COMMODORE is about to go bankrupt, it has released an upgrade to the A4000 model — A4000T.
Two more models are also expected from other companies, but more on those next time.
Rumor has it that the latest beta (test) version of WINDOWS was stolen and leaked onto the INTERNET before its official release. That's good!
