Looking for floppy disks

We are looking for large quantities of blank disks for a software release for the Amiga.

The diskettes should be unlabeled and unsticked and of course work.

If you want to sell some, please send an email to Andreas@apc-tcp.de

No HD disks please.

Quite expensive to import DSDD disks in bulk due to overall weight tho.

Hey, Amiga Future 141 !!!
This was the issue which was sold out after a few days. I remember.
and after issue 142 you have to increase circulation.

[AndreasM]

Amiga Future is looking again for reinforcements

Seeing as our printed edition of Amiga Future has now been published for over 25 years, we are at a point when we need to massively increase our editorial team for the magazine and also the home pages for our website.
The idea behind this is to relieve the workload on more of our entire team, to better distribute the load amongst all our editorial staff, and in so doing reduce the stress and workload on everyone involved, while at the same time further increasing the magazine's overall quality.

It is all in the hope that the next 25 years will be a little easier for everyone in the editorial team, and even better for our readers.

WE NEED: MORE EDITORS FOR THE PRINT EDITION

* Applications area
* News section

So, would you like to work on a print magazine for the Amiga that has been around for over 25 years?

If so, then just simply contact us by email: redaktion@amigafuture.de

Bear in mind that also (which should really go without saying):

* You should logically own an Amiga.
* Additionally you should also use it, in other words, you should have a user's knowledge of an Amiga.
* Your spelling, punctuation and grammar doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be basically OK.
* Of course it would be much better if you have previously written reports and reviews already.
* Most importantly you should also have the time to spare, and lots of interest, in using your Amiga.

NEWS WEB PAGE

The news section of the Amiga Future webpage has grown significantly over recent years, which is still not all we hope to offer, as in the long term, our goal is that all the latest news about the Amiga can readily be found on the Amiga Future webpage. We don?t always have to be the first. We don?t need exclusive news either, but we do want to be able to offer more detailed news online.

Currently I'm mainly concerned with the news on our website. The problem is that I don't usually have the time to spare to add it, and as a result other tasks that are also very important sometimes may get temporarily overlooked or the news doesn't get added as quickly as needed.

AND?

Additionally we are eager to encourage new subscribers, yes more subscribers, lots more subscribers, as we definitely want to increase the number of pages we can offer our readers of the Amiga Future, as by increasing our magazine circulation we can also increase the magazine content.

Roadshow 1.15 released

Slightly delayed by only 18 months (we are getting faster), the free Roadshow TCP/IP stack 1.15 update is now available to all customers.

This update is focused on improving installation and maintenance tasks, as well as making the installation documentation more useful and accessible. The single documentation file, still small in 2014, became increasingly unwieldy and has become a set of shorter files, each focused on one single aspect of Roadshow. By request, new documentation has been added which details all the files which will be installed for Roadshow.

The single installation script, which combined several tasks, became a set of scripts, each with its own task. The new update script will take care of upgrading an older Roadshow installation (versions 1.9-1.14) as well of upgrading a currently installed demo version to the commercial version.

New commands have been added to automatically find and install network device configuration files and fix errors & defects in the many configuration files Roadshow uses. You may no longer need to find and install the network device configuration files to match your network devices all by yourself.

By request, a "compact" Roadshow installation disk image (1.76 MByte high-density) is available for the first time, containing a "reduced" version of the full installation archive. The "compact" installation is restricted to software built for all Amigas (68000 CPU or better) and omits the large reference documentation.

As before, bug fixes and smaller enhancements have been made, which are detailed in the installation documentation. Some of the bugs resisted detection for more than 20 years... Starting with this Roadshow version, all the commands (in particular ftp, wget and tcpdump) consistently work under Kickstart 2.04, assuming that sufficient memory is available.

The new Roadshow software development kit (SDK), version 1.8, is also available for download. It contains much more example source code than before, including source code for all the new Roadshow commands. The vbcc compiler is fully supported for the first time and the existing gcc compiler support has been significantly improved.

Our thanks go to the beta testers and forum members who helped to make this update possible and to spark the ideas which led to the creation of the new Roadshow commands, the "compact" installation and the reworked installation documentation!

Roadshow ist available in three formats:

- As a digital download
- On CD-ROM
- On USB card (FAT32-formatted medium)

The CD-ROM and USB card versions include a digital download for Roadshow.

If you already bought the digital download, you can upgrade to the CD ROM or the USB card version for 4,90 €, plus shipping, in our online shop.

If you bought the CD-ROM version, you can "upgrade" to the USB card version for 4,90 €, plus shipping, in our online shop. The same holds true if you bought the USB card version and wish to "upgrade" to the CD-ROM version.

Careful: In order to order an upgrade, you need to do so with the same online shop account which you previously bought Roadshow with.

Roadshow update:

To receive the free update from Roadshow, simply log into your account https://www.amigashop.org and download your personal roadshow archive there.
The archive contains the current full version and the update.

VD aktuell is back - as a german retro gaming magazine with 64 full-color pages!

We have developed our (German) magazine further and turned the program guide into a real retro illustrated magazine, with a travel guide, psycho test, puzzles and everything else that goes with it - simply lots of fun, easily digestible snacks that bring fun into the retro life!
In addition we also bring you retro news, we briefly introduce new retro games and also take a look at the movies.
Of course, the YouTube video program is not to be missed (this time with videos from Virtual Dimension and Fog Lake Production) and we bring the cliffhanger to a close with the third and final part of the VD short story "In search of the lost retro game".

As you can see, there's something for everyone! And if all goes well, you'll be able to hold our magazine in your hands every three months from now on.

I don't see the point of reviewing a German-only book in an English-language magazine.

Hi

The German and English versions of the Amiga Future must be identical. That's why it can rarely happen that a purely German product is presented in the English magazine.
