Breathless
So much has happened since our last issue:
Platoon got the Oscar, David and Maddie
finally got each other, Vanna got the cover
of Playboy, Oral got his millions,
astronomers got their first look at a
supernova in some 300 years, and
Commodore/ Amiga just gave the personal
computing world the Amiga 500 and 2000!
Of the above, we think the most
interesting, entertaining, exciting, and
important has to be the introduction of the
A500. And while the A2000 has received a
lot of press, and is undoubtedly the most
technically exciting new personal computer,
it is the A500 with its low price, compact
good looks, 1/2 MEG of stanadard RAM,
and improved functionality which has the
greatest potential to rekindle the flames of
personal computing, and fully establish the
age of 16-bit multitasking personal
computing. At it's introduction, the
Commodore 64 cost about $600, and
brought serious computing power within
the reach of millions for the first time in
history. Now, for the same price, the
Amiga 500 offers the consumer 8 times the
memory, 8 times the speed, and 10 times
the fun of the previous best deal in
personal computing! Story and pictures on
page 1 1 .
INFO Hits the Big Time!
Starting with the next issue (#15), INFO
will be distributed nationally (and in most
English-speaking countries) by Select
Magazines of New York. Select is a
GIANT in the industry handling such
quality titles as Family Computing, Popular
Science, and Ms. magazines- we are very
excited about working and growing with
this respected company.
What does this mean to you as an INFO
reader? Well, first of all, for those of you
who are not yet subscribers, it's going to be
a whole lot easier finding INFO now, since
we'll be in thousands of new local outlets.
With better cash flow and circulation, we'll
be able to attract even more quality writers
and artists to enhance the pages of each
issue, and we'll be able to add more color
and put more goodies between the covers
every two months. It also means that we
will (have to) be more regular , and we
know that will be welcome news to many
of you.
Our "World Debut" also has us cooking up
the best issue of INFO you've ever seen!
We're having lots of fun putting it
together, and we think you'll really enjoy
it! Among other things, there will be a
nostalgic look back at INFO's origins (how
many of you have ever seen a copy of the
Cyborg Gazette!), an interview with Anne
Westfall, a special edition of C.H.U.M.P.
magazine, an absolutely exclusive review of
a new piece of Commodore hardware
(which even the competition hasn't caught
wind of), and lots of reviews, all new Erg-
cards, & all the regular columns and
departments as well (plus a few surprises!)
All in all, we can hardly wait. In the mean-
time, enjoy your copy of the product
roundup, the industry's most compre-
hensive buyer's guide to Commodore and
Amiga products!

Bard's Tale on the Amiga is, as you
might expect, vastly faster, prettier, and
easier to play than any of the popular 8-
bit versions. In spite of all the good-
looking graphics, the quick pace, and the
convenience of the user interface, I
personally find this whole genre wearing
a bit thin (dwarf or elf, monster swings,
3 hit points of damage, 2 pieces of gold,
etc., etc., etc.). There is an underlying
monotony that these dungeon games
share with flipping a coin. If you're
into Middle Earth gang fights, tho, this
is one of the better ones. -BD

This is a snappy arcade-style sci-fi shoot-

very fast, hair-trigger action. Zaxxon-

waves of enemy craft get more tenacious
and harder to hit, with varying

The best yet in what we expect (and
hope) will be an ongoing evolution of
Amiga Math-Graphics 'toys'. This latest
incarnation of graphic Mandelbrot
exploration software is NOT public
domain, but the programmers are only
asking either a $10 registration fee (you
make your own copy from a friend's), or
Si 5 for a new diskette with the latest
update. IT'S WORTH IT!! 300 decimal

IFF save and load, variable resolutions,

Now this is my idea of an adventure
game! Click on a door, it opens.
Wonder if that picture on the wall is for
atmosphere only?- click on it and if the
program knows it as a distinct item, it is
highlighted and can be examined, taken,
or used, "open" your wallet, and the
contents are displayed graphically in a
"wallet" window. "Open your gun, and
see how many bullets are left in it!
Almost everything you see in every
scene is active to some extent! Endless
delightful details, and easy control

irresistable gumshoe classic. -BD

Hi! Just had to tell you how pleased I am
with your magazine. I just received my
first copy (ever) and it is by far the best

else even comes close, and I buy all of
them! Congratulations. And thanks to R.

Dear Info, I just wanted to say how much
I enjoy your magazine. But a lot of your
products were listed without ratings in
issue #11. This was most apparent with
Amiga products. Still, I always find your
magazine a great joy to read. The wit and
honesty is refreshing. I like Peggy
Herrington's Sound Advice column and
hope there will be more articles discussing
the Amiga's abilities in department form.
The ethusiasm you have for the Amiga has
convinced me to purchase one. Question-
When running business programs, does the
Amiga work slower than an IBM/PC-AT if
it is using comparable Amiga programs?
Sincerely-Deborah Brisman
P.S. If you print this letter without
correcting the grammar, typing errors, poor
spelling, and awkward sentences, I will
never read your magazine again, (unless
you give me a pseudonymn!)
/ hope you'll find many more of your favorite
products rated in this Latest, Greatest Product
RoundUp ever. Deb! And welcome to the ever-
growing community of proud Amiga owners. To
answer your AT question: it depends. I've heard
product developers claim they can write software
faster on the Amiga than the AT because of the
multitasking environment. I know that things like
spreadsheet recalculation and wordprocessing can
be just as fast on the Amiga as on an AT, and
the Amiga can run rings around an AT in any
graphics or sound application. But it is also my
understanding that disk operations are
considerably faster on the AT. Ft really depends
quite a bit on what you are doing, but we think
the Amiga is a much better deal, and it's
definitely a much more exciting machine!

Hi guys. I would like your opinion on
something. Berkeley Softworks has made
the new GEOS Desktop 1.3 available for
download on QLink but not the rest of the
latest GEOS version. They have offered to
provide complete GEOS updates on disk
for $5.00 on request only. Berkeley's ads
claim that updates would be provided for
free and would be made available on
QLink. They did this for the Update from
1,0 to the Color versions 1.2. Now they're
not. To add insult to injury Desktop 1.3 is
a "Trojan Horse". If you have a broken
backup copy of GEOS with the copy
protection removed it will delete the boot
files. Note also there was no warning of
this "feature" except from angry users. How
do you feel about this practice?
We've had many letters about the "Trojan
Horse" version 1.3 of CEOS, We checked with
Berkeley Softworks and asked if this was an
accidental occurance or if it was, indeed, an
intentional attempt to curb piracy of GEOS. They
confirmed that it >vas and is intentional. Version
1.3 will, when ported to work disks created with
third-party copy-busting programs, wipe the disk
boot sectors clean. There is no warning to that
effect anywhere in the new packaging or
documentation. Berkeley says they have "never
endorsed" making work disks with a third-party
copier, and that they see "no problem" for
legitimate users of GEOS who have followed
their own backup procedure.
Berkeley's defense is their claim of having lost
a great deal of business to software pirates.
They point out that the "wiping" process doesn't
remove any of your work, it just makes the disk
unbootable. It's too bad that there is no warning
to that effect before it happens. (Of course, the
really dumb thing about all this is that the
publishers of copy software inform us that they
have already worked out parameters to
circumvent the update problem.) For now, the
only safe thing you can do about GEOS 1.3 is to
continued on pg. 74

NOW! Aft Amiga for every application AND budget!!
AMIGA 2000 may look like a PC,
but it is an entirely different
animal inside] Multi-processing
opens a whole new era in computing!
AMIGA 500 is lean, clean, and a
compact machine! Note the CBM
logo and the REAL numeric pad!
The 500 starts with .5 MEG RAM
but is expandable to over 8 MEGS!
THE NEW AMIGAS
When the Amiga 1000 was introduced a year
and a half ago, Commodore said it was the first
of a whole new family of Amiga computers.
With the introduction of the new A500 and
A2000, Commodore has added a little sister and
a big brother to the Amiga family tree.
Both machines are functionally equivalent to
the A 1 000. They both use the 68000 cpu chip
running at 7.14 MHz, just like the current
Amiga, and they offer no new sound or graphics
features. Commodore opted for 100%
compatibility with the existing A1000 rather
than adding system enhancements like a 68010
cpu chip or non-interlaced 640x400 graphics, as
it was first rumored they might.
What, do these new computers offer, then? The
A500 is more compact and less expensive than
its predecessor, and the A2000 is an incredibly
expandable open-architecture computer (and
that means slots!).
You may have already read about the A2000
the new high-end Amiga. Since the features of
this machine have been reported elsewhere, we'll
save our discussion of it 'till last and delve First
into the details of the new A500.
THE A500
The Amiga 500 is internally identical to the
Amiga 1000 (with a few exceptions we'll discuss
in a minute). But it doesn't look anything like
the Amiga you are used to.
The A500 comes in a case very similar to that
of the CI 28. It is thicker, however, because of
the built-in standard Amiga 3.5" drive in the
right-hand side of the case. In this aspect of its
design the A500 has followed the lead of the
Apple He and numerous PC-compatible portable
computers which similarly place the drive in the
right side of the case. This configuration is
compact and efficient and takes up less desk
space than a separate drive would.

NEW AMIGA'S «.««
The rear connectors on the 500 have been
changed to conform to the IBM standard. A500
owners won't have to purchase custom Amiga
cables to hook up modems and printers; they
will be able to get serial and parallel cables off-
the-shelf at any PC dealer. But they'll have
problems trying to plug in a Digi-View video
digitizer, Future Sound audio digitizer, or other
peripheral designed specifically for the old
Amiga ports. We assume that third party
developers will quickly adapt their products to
fit the new connectors. We're glad to see
Commodore adopt the industry standard, even
though it will mean some some headaches for
developers and Amiga owners alike during the
transition period. In the long run, it makes good
sense.
Vj
Back of AS00 showing STANDARD ports!
The A500 has stereo sound output jacks, a 12-
bit RGB analog output port, and a monochrome
(yes, monochrome) video output jack. Gone is
the composite color video output jack of the
A 1000. This positions the A500 more directly
against the Atari 520ST with its RGB and
monochrome outputs. We doubt that the
monochrome output will see much use, but then
neither did the somewhat fuzzy composite
output of the A 1000. For those who are
interested in using the A500 in home video
work, Commodore says that either they or a
third party will be coming out with an RGB-
analog-to-composite-color adapter very soon
after the A500's release.
There is an Amiga expansion buss on the 500,
but because of the right-hand built-in drive the
buss is located on the A500's left side. This
means that existing A 1000 expansion products
will not plug in without some kind of adapter.
For most users this won't be a problem;
Commodore most likely expects those with
heavy system expansion needs to buy a 1000 or
2000. Commodore has already shown a prototype
of a hard disk drive with built-in interface
plugged into the A500 expansion buss, so the
buss is definitely functional. It's good to see that
Commodore included it, despite rumors to the
contrary.

Much improved keyboard of A500.
The keyboard is notably different from the
A 1000 keyboard. First of all, it is not
detachable. Like the CI 28 (and the Atari
520ST), the A500 incorporates the keyboard into
the case. The key layout is also improved
considerably from that of the A 1000. All the
standard Amiga keys are here, but some have
been moved and some have been added. The
numeric keypad has been enhanced with a full
set of operator keys to make it a "professional"
numeric keypad. The cursor keypad has been
separated from the main keyboard and put into
a "T" configuration located between the main
keyboard and the numeric keypad. Strangely
enough, the keys on the A500 keypad have the
fronts marked with IBM keyboard equivalents,
in much the same manner as the C64 and CI 28
mark the keyfronts with CBM graphics
characters. This marking is an artifact of using
the same keyboard on the A500 and the A2000,
since most 500 owners will never have the
opportunity to use the IBM key equivalents
(unless they operate a 5.25" drive with
Transformer software or Commodore adapts the
Sidecar to the A500's left-handed buss). To
make those upgrading from 8-bit Commodore
machines feel more at home, the left-Amiga key
on the A500 has been relabeled so it resembles
the familiar Commodore logo key on the C64
and C128. (Functionally it is identical to the left-
Amiga key.) Interestingly enough, in the
prototype photos this key is still labeled as an
Amiga key on the A2000. At least in the
preliminary designs, this is the sole difference
between the keyboards of the A500 and
A2000.**
A500 main board & optional .5 MEG RAM board,
The guts of the Amiga 500 have been
optimized and trimmed down. There are a few
LSI chips taking over the tasks of dozens of
smaller chips, and Kickstart 1.2 is in a 256K
ROM, This means the power-up sequence is
now a simple process involving a single
WorkBench or auto-startup disk. With the A500
and A2000, BBS sysops and others operating
unsupervised Amiga systems no longer need to
worry about system power-downs. An auto-start
disk in the internal drive will automatically
reboot the system without a disk swap when
power is restored to a downed Amiga 500 or
2000.
Early in the development of the new Amigas it
had been proposed to make it possible to boot
up with vl.l Kickstart in the drive to allow the
machines to run vl.l applications. This RAM-
overlay method would have cost some user
memory, but it would have allowed A500 and
A2000 owners to run some 1.2-incompatible
software. In the release versions of these
machines, however, that feature has not been
implemented. The A500 and A2000 will only
run applications under vl.2 of KickStart. Some
older applications will have to be modified to be
compatible with vl.2 before they can be run on
the new machines.
Underside of keyboard showing RAM board socket.
The 500 comes with 512K of RAM standard,
twice the memory the A 1000 debuted with. This
512K is all chip RAM, instantly accessible by
the graphics and sound chips. For expansion,
there is a cigarette-pack size port in the bottom
of the case that accepts a new 512K RAM
expander with built-in battery backed-up clock.
This gives the A500 a total maximum potential
of one megabyte of internal RAM. You can also
add up to 8 megs of external RAM (for a total
of 9 megabytes!) via the expansion buss
connector and an appropriate expansion chassis.
3.5" micro drive in right side of keyboard.
The A501 internal 512K RAM expansion is
not fast RAM, nor is it chip RAM; here at
INFO, we like to call it Half-Fast RAM. It
occupies high chip RAM address space,
positioned just beyond the Agnes chip's ability
to address it. This means that the second 512K
of RAM cannot be used directly for graphics
and sound, but it will still be slowed down
^J
NEW AMIGA'S one*
somewhat by intense graphics activity. While
you won't get the full effect of 100% fast RAM
with this expansion, for approximately $150
you'll still be adding a lot of capacity to your
A500 (including a battery backed-up system
clock). Commodore says the A501 expansion
unit will be available when the A500 is released.
The external power supply of this unit is
similar to the C128's, only a little larger. It is
capable of powering the A500 with A501 RAM
expander and a single additional external 3.5"
disk drive. The power supply is not capable of
supplying power to more than one external
drive. And if you add any equipment to the
expansion buss, it will have to be externally
powered. You can, however, add an external
5.25" disk drive (with Transformer software) for
MS-DOS applications since that drive comes
with its own power supply.
The A500 comes with the standard complement
of accessories, including the introductory and
Amiga BASIC manuals, and two disks containing
WorkBench 1.2 and Amiga BASIC. (Remember,
KickStart is in ROM in this machine, so you
don't need a KickStart disk.) Suggested retail
price of the A500 is $640, but Commodore
expects most retailers to discount the machine to
under $600. Commodore is rushing to get both
new Amigas to market by summer, but the 2000
is being given top priority. The 500 may not be
available until June.
THE A2000
The A2000 is Commodore's open-architecture
big brother to the Amiga 1000. It functions
nearly identically to the 1000, and includes all
of the internal trimming down and optimization
of the A500 (including vl.2 of KickStart in
ROM), but the A2000 is shipped with a full
megabyte of RAM standard.* The battery-
backed up clock is also standard on the A2000,
The external parallel, serial, video, sound, and
drive connectors are identical with those on the
A500, and the keyboard layout is the same as
that on the 500. The keyboard itself is
detachable like the one on the A 1000 The
keyboard connector has been changed and made
sturdier.
The case has about the same footprint as the
A 1000, but it's taller to make headroom inside
tor lots of add-on hardware. The chassis comes
standard with one front-mounted 3.5" disk
drive, with room to mount another 3 5" drive
($200) beside it and a 5.25" drive ($300) below
The A2000- Commodore's "tower of power"!
it. (You can also add two additional external 3.5"
Amiga drives, and up to 3 external 5.25" MS-
DOS drives.) Behind the internal drives is a
hefty 200 watt power supply, the same size as
the one in the IBM PC/AT. Why so big?
Because, like the AT, the A2000 has lots of
expansion slots.

PRODUCT
ROUNDUP
Welcome to INFO's biggest Product RoundUp
issue ever! Commodore software developers have
been burning the midnite oil these last six
months; we've seen a flood of new titles. Our
last RoundUp listed 1800 Commodore products,
but this issue lists over 2100 products for the
C64, C128, and Amiga computers.
FINDING A LISTING
The quickest route to finding what you are
interested in is to go to the RoundUp Table of
Contents on the page immediately preceeding
the listings themselves. Check out the proper
section (C64, C128, C128 CP/M, or Amiga) and
scan down to the category you want, such as
Finances, Wordprocessing, Games, etc. If you
can't find a likely category, check out the
Miscellaneous section.

The first products listed in each category are
those most highly rated by INFO. Five-star
products come first, followed by four stars,
three, etc. Unrated products appear last in
: alphabetical order.
STILL NOT THERE?
Even though this is the most comprehensive
listing of Commodore products published
anywhere, we don't list every product available
for Commodore computers. If we did, you'd be
buying a twenty dollar book, not a $3.95
magazine!

In the first place, we periodically delete
products that are no longer in production, even
though some may still be available through
closeout sales, mail-order specials, or trades with
other Commodore owners. We try to keep the
most important of these products in the
RoundUp for at least awhile, and we label these
as "No Longer In Production". If you are
interested in INFO's comments about an older
product we no longer list, we suggest you order
a Product RoundUp back issue from our Back
Issues Dept. (#1, #3, #8,and #11 are the
available RoundUp issues.)
Secondly, we don't list one-shot products from
garage operations that are of obviously inferior
quality (and we've seen some losers!). We figure
we shouldn't make your life miserable by
burdening you with these titles, nor should we
raise the hopes of incompetent fast-buck garage
entrepreneurs. On the other hand, we DO list
many titles of excellent quality from sincere,
competent, but underfunded Mom & Pop
software companies, because their products
deserve the exposure and a free listing in INFO
is sometimes the only national attention they can
afford. Our basic criterion is this: Is the product
something our readers will want to know about?
Thirdly, we don't list all the products available
from all companies. We will sometimes even
have one listing for a complete line of
specialized software, something we often do for
educational, engineering, or scientific titles. If
you see something you like listed in the
RoundUp, write the company for a full catalog.
Lastly, if you are looking for CI 28 CP/M
titles, you will find only those titles listed that
(1) fill a gap in the library of available software
for the CI 28, such as Ada and LISP language
compilers, (2) are exceptionally useful CP/M
utilities such as Write-Hand Man and XP1P, or
(3) are specifically recommended by
Commodore, such as dBase II, Wordstar, and the
Perfect series.
COMMENTS
We tag all the product entries with the initials
of the person responsible for the comments.
Check the masthead to see who goes with what
initials. "St" means "staff. If there are no
initials, the comments are provided by the
company, and may also contain some small
observations or comments that we've picked up
from a quick perusal. Many descriptions are
short, but we've tried to include what we think
might be pertinent when you make a purchasing
decision.
AVA1LABLILITY
We list some products that have been
announced but are not yet in production, as well
as some products that are no longer in
production but may still be available from some
sources. Check with the manufacturer or your
local dealer before ordering any product listed
in the RoundUp. And please do not try to order
anything from us: we don't sell software or
hardware.
PRICING
The prices we list are the latest known
suggested retail prices, and are included only as
a guideline. You can find many items for less at
your local computer retail or discount store or
by mail order. The prices on some items may
have increased since our listing was written. In
all cases, don't just send money to the
manufacturer — call or write for availablility,
pricing, and shipping charges first.
COMPANIES
Each product listing includes the name of the
company which produces it. In some cases, it
may be the name of an exclusive distributor.
But it is always the company that consumers and
dealers should contact for purchase information,
A full directory of companies is printed at the
end of the listings.
RATINGS
The one comment we receive most often about
the RoundUp listings is "Not enough products
are rated!" We agree. Though we spend
thousands of hours a year testing and rating
software, our staff is small and most products
require many hours of testing for a thorough
and fair rating. But because you have asked for
more ratings, we are willing to let you help us
out. If you have used a product that you think
should be rated, please feel free to send us your
rating, along with a brief, RoundUp-type
description of the product. Please include the
manufacturers name. We'll use the information
you provide to update some of the ratings in the
next INFO Product RoundUp, and label them as
"Reader Rated" products. Is that fair, or what?
Send your RoundUp Ratings to:
INFO Magazine Reader Ratings
PO Box 2300
Iowa City IA 52244
MISTAKES
As soon as a RoundUp issue hits the stands,
we always get calls like "That company has been
out of business for two months!", or "That's not
the right price on that game!", or "How come
'Gumby's Plastic Adventure' isn't listed? It's the
greatest!"
There is a very simple explanation for such
errors and omissions. Almost 50% of the staff of
INFO is composed of human beings. And, being
mere Homo Sapiens, we make mistakes. If you
catch one, we're sorry, and by all means please
help us to correct it.
Hope you enjoy the RoundUp!

8-bit version of the Amiga game ALMOST makes the trans-
lation to the 64, While Bporting most of same playing
features (including the invaluable teaching mode), one
major design oversight really spoils the whole party
for me; the only way to move piece is by typing in the
standard algebraic chess notation on the dang Keyboard.
What a royal pain in the bit bucketl If you don't .mind
typing, you might like it. I don't. (-B.D.)

Cursor and joystick options for piece movement. The
features are fairly complete: board setup, chess clock,
forward and backward stepping, replayB, color selection
2D & 3D displays, mate-solving, ii more. The biggest
problem with Colossus is that all these features are
accessed through shifted keyboard control sequences
which are difficult to remember or find in the manual.

Crosscheck

This crossword game is for one to four players. Your
goal is to build a chain of words from the center of
the board to your home base in a corner. The board is
much larger than the screen, so it scrolls. There are
elements of Scrabble and crosswords combined in this
game, and It should have some appeal for word-game
addicts. The. graphics are not much to speak of. but it
as an extensive word list. f-M.B.)

I just picked up the JAN/FEB issue of
INFO and I must congratulate you on a
wonderful issue. It's the ONLY magazine I
read from cover to cover. About your
editorial on Sysops: I had at one time
Sysoped for PlayNET and they were from
what I have seen or heard more giving to
their Sysops than some. I was given free
time during the time I worked plus 5 free
hours a month. I frankly agree with you
that most Sysops deserve a lot better and
would like the trend to improve.
Otherwise, can you say: STRIKE! I think
your editorial comment has opened a can
of worms for the networks.. .Hooray!
David Martin
Thanks, David. Most of the people we've talked
to agree, including sysops online. We don't intend
to let the issue die. -Mark & Benn

— for the new user who wants
to know more about GEOS and
how to make it work for him;
— for the advanced user who
wants more flexibility than
CEOS alone offers;
— for the programmer who
wants to write his own utilities
— the book you need when the
manual is not enough;
HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF GEOS gives you the information that you need to use this
powerful program to your best advantage. A team of experienced users and programmers examined
GEOS inside and out to give you:
— shortcuts to make your work go laster and smoother;
— undocumented features that you wilt want to take advantage of, or avoid:
— translation utilities to import text and graphics from other popular programs;
— conversion utilities to let you transmit GEOS Tiles to your friends via modem;
— the GEOS file structure, so programmers can write utilities for their own special needs; and
— a map of important memory locations so advanced programmers can create their own custom
utilities.

DUTTHNK the Joneses with your C-128!
In today's fast paced world, you've got to stay
one step ahead. Whether you're a student or a
teacher, a doctor or a lawyer, a writer or a
salesperson, you face fierce competition, And
these days, your competition is likely to have a
16-bit computer with an outline processor.
Outline processing is the most powerful new
thinking and writing tool invented. With over a
dozen now available on 16-bit computers, this
new kind of software is taking the personal
computer worid by storm. With OUT-THINK,
you can experience this new dimension to
writing on your Commodore C-128 (with CP/M).
Now, not only can you step ahead of the
Joneses, you can OUT-THINK them, too.
Whether you have to prepare reports,
proposals, documentation, or school papers,
OUT-THINK lets you brainstorm with ease and
capture your fleeting ideas into an outline. Once
in outline form, you can snap your thoughts
Rave reviews of OUT-THINK lor the C-128
are pouring in:
It's a powerful and flexible tool for organiz-
ing your thoughts. And the documentation
is superb.
-Compute Gazette, July 7986
This is one ol the most uselu! and most used
programs I own. It has become so indispen-
sable to me that it is practically the only
CP/M program that I am using.
- TPUG Magazine, August 7986
In our humble opinion, OUT-THINK is one ol
the best reasons for booting up CP/M wove
seen to dale.
- INFO Magazine, Nov./Dec. 1986
together like Tinker Toys — hooking one piece
to another and moving the parts around with
ease until you create the structure of the
document you want.
OUT-THINK practically teases new ideas from
you. Add new paragraphs of text to elaborate on
any point. Collapse the details from view to
concentrate on your main points. Then, expand
detailed portions of the outline as you need to.
By collapsing and expanding, you can explore
the inter-relationships of your ideas and see how
they fit together. You can always see the forest
without getting lost in the trees.
And once you finish your document, you can
get it out with a full complement of formatting,
printing and file conversion options. From a two-
page report to the Great American Novel.
OUT-THINK will automatically number your
sections and rotate your headers and footers
with page numbers, and give you a Table of
Contents to boot.
OUT-THINK is brought to you by KAMASOFT.
We pioneered outline processing and brought
this amazing, new technology to CP/M com-
puters. OUT-THINK is our newest oulliner-
and the best ever.
So, if you create and organize text in the
course of your work, you owe it to yourself to get
OUT-THINK. Don't delay. See what alt the
excitement is about. Get your copy today.

The Pawn
$ :na Firebird ****+
G-13
An innovative game in many ways. The excellent graphic
screens are on pull-down windows so you can scroll them
up out of the way if you want to. The parser is far
better than other adventure games, though it is still
stumped by the unexpected. The music is some of I he
best we ve heard on the Amiga. The Pawn's story is good
the characters interesting and the play entertaining.
Temple of Apshai Trilogy
$ :na Epyx ****+
The entire trilogy op a single Amiga disk. It has been
admirably Amiga-timed. Graphics are colorful with a
nice 3D shaded effect, music & Bound ar top-notch, and
the intuitive user interface makes full use ol mouse &
menus. You hardly ever need to touch the keyboard. Lots
of extra touches like the head-bobbing animation of
your character. More likely to appeal to novices than
Ultima. (-M.B.)
Defender of the Crown
$ 49.95 Mindscape ****
Forsooth! To the lists! This animated graphic
adventure tale puts you inside a Medieval movie where
you participate in jouBts, raid other Lords' castles,
champion Fair Maidens, defend your own territories from
land-hungry nobles, and generally have a great time in
12th Century England. The graphics are spectacular,
the stereo soundtrack wonderful, but the gameplay is
weak and not varied enough. (-M.B.J

Your claims (about the CompuServe
copyright policy- -INFO Editorial #12)
appear to be unnecessarily inflammatory
and are inaccurate. The change in CIS
copyright policy came about as a result of
an individual who set up a subscription
BBS for Mac users. In essence he said,
"Don't bother to join CIS and pay their
fees. Join my BBS and get the same
material for only $25/year." Then he logged
onto CIS once a week and downloaded
virtually all new material from the
MacUsers forum and data libraries and
posted it to his board. He had a virtual
copy of MACUS on his board. CIS claims a
copyright over the total of the material on
their system but individual copyright
remains with the original authors. In other
words, if one copies everything, it violates
CIS copyright. If one copies some
programs, one must only observe the
restrictions for distribution placed on these
programs by their writers. This was upheld
in a court case arising out of the above
example. One can copy individual programs
from CIS for their own use and even use
them to make money for themselves IF that
does not violate the INDIVIDUAL
AUTHOR'S copyright. This is not the old
"How to Charge People For Air" ploy. CIS
would cease to exist if people could rip it
off in such a blatant fashion. You appear
to be prejudiced against CIS because it is a
large and successful business. It is
providing us all with a service which we
feel is valuable enough to pay for or it
would not be successful. You owe your
readers an apology for the perpetuation of
a misunderstanding. Next time check the
facts first. Generally INFO is a good
magazine, I hope you will keep the caliber
up to its past level. Pete
The policy you have just stated is not the same
one that CompuServe spokesperson Rich Baker
outlined in the November 1986 issue of
COMPUTE! (We have tried repeatedly to contact
Mr. Baker, but he has not returned our calls.)
What he said was pretty ambiguous, mostly

NEW AMIGA So**
continued from pg. 14
There are slots for everything in the 2000.
There is a single video slot which will accept
anything from a video digitizer card to a
genlock card. The 2000 has the same built-in
RGB analog and monochrome composite output
connectors as the A500, but its video capabilities
are almost limitless with the proper card
installed in the video slot. Putting together a
system with broadcast-quality video will be no
problem on the A2000. Like the A500, there is
no composite color video output jack, but a
promised NTSC video card will offer much
cleaner broadcast-quality video output for
around $100. For those who are disappointed
that the A2000 still uses interlaced 640x400
video, there is the possibility of eventually
adding a non-interlace 640x400 or even higher
resolution video card. For those who want more
solid hi-res video now, Commodore will be
selling a $500 long-persistence RGB analog
monitor. This monitor will not be ready by the
launch of the new machines, but should be
available later this year.
v-\.A -

The motherboard also features a dedicated cpu
slot. This slot provides access to all the system
cpu signals, and this is where you plug in a
coprocessor board. Commodore has already
demoed a 14 MHz 68020 board running in this
slot. This board is a modification of Computer
Software Associates' existing 68020 board which
is now available as a part of their A 1000 Turbo
Amiga expander. CSA says that the plug-in
A2000 version will be available from them at
the time of the A2000's launch. The price will
be $1480, the same as their current 68020 board.
Also available from CSA at launch time will be
two different 32-bit memory boards and a SCSI
controller card.

■mmininimfflntt
nannnmnBi
The A2000 also has between 3 and 5 Amiga
expansion slots, depending on how you use the
system. (More on how this works in a moment.)
These slots can be used for any Amiga
expansion purpose, including additional memory
(up to 9 megabytes total), adding hard disk
drive controllers, etc. Commodore has a hard
drive controller board capable of driving two ST-
506 hard disk drives and up to seven SCSI
drives. The board even has a Macintosh. Plus-
compatible hard drive connector in addition to
the standard SCSI connector so you can plug in
Mac Plus hard drives off-the-shelf! The A2094
hard drive controller board will be available at
launch for around $350. Commodore will offer
several memory expansion cards for the A2000
eventually, but at launch the only one available
will be the A2050 2- megabyte card for $500.
We expect enterprising third parties to modify
their existing cards for the A2000 in short
order. C Ltd, CSA, and others have indicated
they are converting existing cards now, and
have other A2000-specific projects in the works.
Lots of slots...
The 2000 also has a 3 to 4-slot IBM/XT-AT
compatible buss, again depending on how you
configure the system. Here's how it works:
There are actually 7 slots in the A2000. Two
are IBM/PC-XT slots. These 2 slots also have
the traces available on the PC board to convert
them into IBM/PC-AT slots, but to do so you
have to solder an additional connector onto each.
Commodore says the slots were done this way
because some PC/XT cards that Amiga 2000
owners might want to use hang down onto the
pc board in such a way that they would be
unusable if the AT connectors were included.
As we said, if you need AT slots, you can easily
solder the additional connectors onto the pc
board traces.

rl " wl ' w "tf i
Two of the PC slots are bridge slots. These
slots cross over to two slots on the Amiga buss.
Thus these two slots can be IBM/PC-XT slots,
IBM/PC-AT slots (because they do have the AT
connectors soldered in) or Amiga slots. If you
plan to use the IBM/PC-XT capabilities of the
A2000 at all, however, one of these two slots
will be taken up with the A 2088 Bridge Card.
This card must occupy one of the two bridge
slots, as it provides the only way of
communicating with the IBM buss. Without a
Bridge card, the Amiga is not even physically
connected to the PC card buss.*** All
connections are through the Bridge card; more
on this card later. This leaves one bridge slot
free, which can be occupied by another bridge-
type application (as yet none have been
specifically proposed), an IBM/PC-XT card, an
IBM/PC-AT card, or an Amiga card.
Besides the two bridge slots, there are three
Amiga-only expansion slots. To bring it all
together, in an Amiga-only system you would
have five Amiga expansion slots, and the PC
expansion slots would be unused. With a Bridge
card installed, you would have, three Amiga
slots, one bridge slot occupied by the A2088,
two IBM/PC-XT slots (upgradable to AT slots
with additional connectors soldered in), and one
slot that could be used as an IBM/PC-XT,
IBM/PC-AT, Amiga, or bridge slot. Is that
clear? Don't worry, it confuses almost everyone.
Suffice it to say that this is one very versatile
system.
THE BRIDGE CARD
The $500 Bridge card is essentially an IBM/PC-
XT on-a-card. It contains a 4.77 MHz 8088 cpu
chip, an empty socket for an 8087 math co-
processor chip, 512K of IBM/PC memory, 128K
of scratchpad, display, and dual-port RAM,
VLSI communications and control chips, a
floppy disk controller chip, and the Janus
operating system in ROM. Though it has been
widely demoed with version 2.x of MS-DOS,
Commodore says the board will ship with MS-
DOS version 3.2. The operating system not only
supports full IBM/PC-XT operation, but
communications between the PC and the Amiga
sides of the A2000. The technology is similar to
Amiga's Sidecar, but is more sophisticated.
Among other things, it allows the PC side to
access the Amiga's parallel port and keyboard,
output to Amiga windows in monochrome and
color graphics mode simultaneously, and even
share a partitioned IBM/PC hard disk with the
Amiga side of the machine. With 20-meg IBM
hardcards selling below $400, adding a bridge
card for $500 and a hardcard comes out as one
of the least expensive ways of adding a hard
disk drive to an Amiga system. (A properly
partitioned IBM hardcard appears as device
JH0: to AmigaDOS. The "J" stands for "Janus",
after the two-faced Roman god.)
The PC video output is interesting in that
monochrome and color displays are supported
simultaneously. Though the Bridge card is not
multitasking, and can run only one application
at a time, some software such as Lotus 1-2-3
can use both screens simultaneously. Lotus can
display a spreadsheet in the monochrome screen
and a graph in the color screen, for example.
Each PC screen resides in an independent
window on the Amiga display screen, and each
can be sized or scrolled to view the entire PC
screen. Clicking on the window will expand it to
full screen size without borders.
Among the Janus operating system's
capabilities is the ability to cut and paste text
back and forth between PC and Amiga
applications using the Amiga's clipboard device.
The operating system includes primitives that
will allow programmers to implement much
more sophisticated applications, such as piping
output between programs, or even using the
8088 as a dedicated co-processor for Amiga
applications without having to boot MS-DOS.
The support routines for such applications are
included in libraries on the boot disk.
The system is powerful, but it has a few
limitations. Booting up the system is said to take
almost two minutes, since the boot software
must run through auto-configuration tasks for
all the cards in the PC and Amiga sides of the
machine. This is a one-time annoyance on
power-up, and should be no big deal. The PC's
paltry sound output is not implemented (no
great loss here). A more serious limitation is the
PC's inability to access the Amiga mouse or
serial ports. Software drivers are under

development to overcome these limitations, but
in the meantime anyone wishing to do
telecommunications with the PC side will need
to invest in a PC-side serial or modem card.
If you are not thrilled by the prospect of an
IBM/PC-XT system, with its relatively slow
system speed and limited memory, and want the
advantages of an AT-compatible PC,
Commodore says they are working on an A2286
card, which will offer AT-compatibility with an
80286 cpu. The availability date is uncertain. In
the meantime, there is always the prospect of
adding an 80286 accelerator card to the PC buss.
In fact, an A2000 with a 68020 card, 8088-
equipped Bridge Card, and an 80286 accelerator
board would give you access to four powerful
16/32 bit cpus, which should satisfy even the
most jaded microcomputer power user!
CONCLUSIONS
Both of the new Amigas look good. The A500
breaks the price/performance barrier that stood
between the A 1000 and the masses. It offers an
operating system in ROM, a built-in drive, an
improved keyboard, a full 512K of RAM
expandable to 1 meg internally, and both RGB
and monochrome outputs. The reversal of the
expansion buss is unfortunate, but I don't see
how it could have been avoided given the
physical layout of the machine, and I doubt that
many users will need to even use it since the
500 can have a full meg of RAM internally.
And at least it's there! At a probable street price
of $595 or less, I think Commodore will sell
trainloads of A500s, and that can only be good.
Even those who already have A 1000s will
benefit from the added software development
that such sales will generate.
For $1495 the A2000 is the computing bargain
of the century. Fully expandable to just short of
a Cray II, the 2000 should satisfy all the power
users who just weren't convinced that the A 1000
was a powerful enough machine for them. With
its potential for PC compatibility, many
corporate and university buyers will now be
allowed to buy the A2000, since many of them
are constrained by internal policies to
purchasing PCs or PC clones. This is a
tremendous marketing advantage that should get
the A2000 into almost every niche of the
computer marketplace. Though it does nothing
more than the A 1000 does when you first take it
out of the box, its open architecture and
expandability make this a machine that will not
become obsolete until well after the turn of the
century. ..and maybe never! Even though there
are those who will complain that the A2000
should have had a 68010 or even a 68020 cpu,
or non-interlace 640x400 video, or a full meg of
chip RAM, or whatever, we think the wisdom
of the 100%-compatible upgrade path will prove
itself. And the video and cpu slots ensure that
the end user can add these capabilities himself
if he needs them. That is the beauty of the
A2000; it can be a machine for absolutely
everybody!
FOOTNOTES
*The original West German design of the A2000
included only 512K of RAM standard. The
Pennsylvania design has 1 megabyte. The units
that have been demoed so far are West German
machines with an additional 512K of true fast
RAM installed in the cpu slot. By the time the
A2000 ships to American markets in late April
or May, all the units that reach retail stores
should be US-designed units with the additional
512K of Half-Fast RAM on the motherboard
and the cpu slot free. Still, if you are planning
on purchasing an early A2000 we'd advise you
to check and make sure the cpu slot is empty If
not, you will not be able to add a co- processor
board later without sacrificing 512K of RAM.
** The Commodore logo is also prominently
displayed on the nameplate of each machine.
The A500 has a tag similar to the C128
nameplate directly below its deeply-etched
AMIGA. The A2000 nameplate subtly declares

itself to be the "Commodore Amiga 2000". It
looks like Commodore is no longer concerned
about its "toy image" hurting the Amiga. To
which we can only add: it's about time!
*** There is absolutely nothing dictating that
the IBM/PC buss has to be used as an IBM/PC,
since the pins are not dedicated to specific
functions (except for power and ground) until
the bridge card is plugged in. With a custom
bridge card and the proper adapters, the buss
could potentially be used for Mac Plus cards,
Apple II cards, or even a custom applications
system. The possibilities are limited only by the
imagination of the user. This "generic buss" may
provide almost infinite staying power for the
A2000. Now let's see: is there a Cray II buss
standard?
EPITAPH
With the triumphant debut of Commodore's
new Amigas, it is only fitting that we observe a
moment of silence for the demise of the
birthplace of the Amiga. With the March 31
closing of the Amiga plant in Los Gatos and the
complete transfer of Amiga development to
teams in West Chester and West Germany, the
last of those who had the original Amiga dream
are gone from Commodore's ranks.
Such things happen often in business. The
dreamers fall by the wayside and the marketing
men and accountants take over. We must try to
remember that without black ink on the bottom
line, the dreams don't become reality at all. We
only hope that those who remain to sell the
machine that the dreamers created will retain a
little bit of the dream in themselves. And we
hope that the dreamers can derive some
satisfaction from knowing that a part of their
dream became reality, and that people are
sharing in it.

noises about "protecting the work that is on
CompuServe for the benefit of our customers"
and such. But he did make it clear that CIS does
NOT want to lose any money on downloads, and
that anyone who wants to distribute ANYTHING
downloaded from CIS has to make written
application to them first to get permission. The
truth of the matter is that CIS doesn't own those
PD programs, and to claim copyright on them is
ludicrous. And since the programs on CIS are in
the public domain, then the guy who was
downloading them (and paying CIS $6.00 a hour
to do it just like everyone else) and passing them
along to the public cheaper is an
ENTREPRENEUR, not a thief. Nobody was paid
or contracted to produce those programs for
CompuServe. If CompuServe's claim is valid then
they could also claim that if the Constitution of
the United States were uploaded to their system
(since it is also in the public domain) then CIS
could copyright it. It's absurd. -Mark & Benn

Dear INFO,
I just wanted to say that the Amiga has,
indeed, appeared on "Miami Vice". Being a
fan of the show and the computer gave me
some incentive to keep an eye out for its
debut after reading in INFO that it would
appear on the show. I have seen it twice.
The first appearance and easiest to spot is
the episode which uses a Jai-ali tournament
as a backdrop. The Amiga is shown in the
office of a fellow law enforcement officer.
In another episode Crockett and Tubbs are
shown using one, but it is not it's best
angle.

WHAT SLUMP?
Betty Taylor, Executive Editor of the ever-vigilent
Computer and Software News trade newspaper,
writing in a recent C&SN editorial, got downright
incensed at the mainstream press's insistence that
there is a "slump" in the personal computer industry.
She rightly pointed out that the only thing that's
down in the computer industry is the rale of growth.
She says that most experts are predicting a 7-9%
growth rate in the personal computing market in
1987. She compares this to a 2% decrease in defense
spending (called a "slowdown") and a 3% drop in the
auto industry, referred to as a "slippage" by
BusinessWeek magazine. If a 2% decrease is a
"slowdown", and a 3% drop is a "slippage", how can a
9% growth be a "slump"? I hope the folks at
BusinessWeek read the Computer and Software News.
RIP
Many fine companies have bowed out of the biz
since our last RoundUp six months ago. Among those
who have disappeared from the listings are:
The Micro Forge
Tecmar (quit making Amiga products)
The Guide To Computer Living
Digital Engineering (which briefly made a C64 video
digitizer)
Datamost
Quicksilva
FS! Software (formerly French Silk)
United Microware (makers of Motor Mania)
Hippo Software
Software Group (Commodore has decided not to
release the Group-developed Enable series for the
Amiga)
Our best to all the employees of these companies as
they seek their fortunes elsewhere.
ACQUIRED
Besides all the failures and foldings there are
always a few companies which manage to get taken
over by other companies, or at least sign "exclusive
distribution agreements" with them. Among those to
do so in the last few months are:
Sierra On Line, whose products are now distributed
by Electronic Arts
Game Designers Workshop, now a part of EA's
"Affiliated Labels" program.
Handic, whose products are now distributed in the
U.S. by Scan-Am.
Lattice, publishers of C for the Amiga, has been
acquired by its IBM mainframe licensee SAS
Institute (which just goes to show you where the
real software money is made).
Creative Software, acquired by Activision.
Batteries Included, purchased by EA.

THEY HAVE TROUBLES, TOO
Lest you think Commodore computers are the only
ones with problems, consider these facts:
Early models of the IBM/PC had ROM bugs that
resulted in a completely wrong answer anytime you
multiplied two numbers together.
Some Macintosh users groups report up to 1/3 of
their members burning out power supplies. The
problem? A 125 degree F internal operating
temperature and no fan.
Even the most diehard Apple experts are calling
Apple's claim of "90%" IIGS compatibility with He
software a "pipe dream". There are considerable
problems even running AppleWorks, the most popular
Apple He program.
The IIGS also had chip bugs that resulted in
random images appearing on the video screen. Apple
waited until the first batch of machines had already
been shipped to correct the problem because it was
"just a cosmetic defect".
Atari ST BASIC stores numbers in just sixteen bits
internally, so internal rounding errors oftentimes
cause a PEEK or POKE to a memory location to be
off by a considerable margin.
LASER 128 SUIT
As Jimmy Durante used to say, "Everybody w
to get into the act!" Apple Computer has aggressively
fought to keep competitors from making and
marketing clones of their Apple II and Macintosh
computer lines for years. One of their biggest
settlements was a $2.5 million judgement against
Franklin Computers, until recently the most visible of
the Apple II clonemakers. Apple also has action
pending against Video Technology Computers,
marketers of the inexpensive Laser 128 Apple Ile/c
clone. In a surprising turnaround, Franklin has now
also filed suit against Video Technology, claiming
that the Laser 128 ROM also violates their patents
and copyrights. The suit awaits its final outcome;
sales of the Laser 128 are so strong that it continues
to be in very short supply.
In the meantime, Commodore is selling their
computers so inexpensively that nobody can afford to
clone them.
COMMODORE STOCK HIGHER
Wall Street is expressing new confidence in
Commodore; CBM stock was up to SI 3.00 a share in
late January, compared to a low of $4.75 last year.
The 30-day price trend was two and a half times
greater than the rise in Apple stock prices over the
same period, a month in which IBM stock fell. (If
you'd listened to us last spring, you might be a
millionaire now!)

LOCK STEPS DOWN
Robert Lock, longtime Editor-in-Chief and
"Founder" of COMPUTE! and COMPUTE!'* Gazette,
has turned over the helm of those two magazines to
former Senior Editor Richard Mansfield. Lock will
continue serving Compute! Publications in some
unspecified capacity.
NEW FOR ADVENTURERS
A couple of interesting items have crossed my desk
recently that will be of interest to diehard adventure
gamers.
Questbusters is a well-established monthly
newsletter for computer adventure gamers. The latest
issue contains twelve pages of hints, tips, and reviews
of computer adventures. $16/yr from: Questbusters,
202 Elgin Ct., Wayne PA 19087.
Dr. Evil Laboratories (that's the name, honest!) is
comprised of a group of enterprising college students
who have developed an adventure authoring system
for the C64 called Imagery! For a measly ten bucks
you get the adventuring system, a manual, a sample
adventure game, and a one-year subscription to their
quarterly newsletter, The Image. Send your money to
Imagination, PO Box 190, St. Paul IN 47272.
MSD GUIDE
David Martin has come out with a reference guide
for the mostly-orphaned MSD disk drives. The MSD
Reference Guide is $20, a companion disk $6 more
(include S3 shpg.) from David W. Martin, 1417 S.
Heron Dr., Seabrook TX 77586.
ATARI PC CLONES?
Atari announced two powerful, low-cost IBM/PC
clones at the recent CES show in Las Vegas. They
said the units would be "shipping in March", but now
it seems that they won't be officially available until
"about August". It turns out that Atari has not yet
negotiated a license with Digital Research for the
GEM operating system they said they'd be shipping
with the clones. Worse, they haven't applied for FCC
approval, a process that can take months. Some Atari
insiders are even saying that the machines don't exist
at all, which has led many analysts to call the clones
"vaporware".
Industry speculation is that Atari's main motive in
announcing the clones at CES was to hurt
Commodore's announcement of its PC- 10-1 and PC-
10-2 IBM/PC-XT clones. Atari's dealers are
extremely upset about the delay, claiming that the
announcement ironically hurt sales of Atari's own ST
computers.

3RD PARTY GEOS SUPPORT
Despite Berkeley's claims that "many" third parties
are developing GEOS applications, we've only seen
four GEOS products from third parties so far, and
two of those are books.
Abacus is selling a S19.95 German volume called
GEOS Inside and Out, and promises another tome
called GEOS Tricks and Tips Real Soon Now.
How To Get The Most Out Of GEOS from Midnite
Press features routines for graphics and text file
conversions. It is $14.95 and has a companion disk
available for $9.95.
Bantam's official GEOS Programmers Guide is now
out. $19.95 for this all-machine-language reference
work.
All three volumes cover GEOS only through version
1.2.
The only stand-alone GEOS application we've seen
so far is a disk from Myth Conceptions containing
two utilities, GeoFont and The Pattern Editor, for
$19.95. The first is a versatile font editor, and the
pattern editor runs as a desk accessory so you can
call it up and interactively edit fill patterns from
within GeoPaint. Very handy!
MORE AMIGA PD
Last time we reported on some excellent PD
software available from Chiron Conceptions. The
latest batch of disks from Chiron includes even more
goodies, such as the fantastic Juggler 3D graphics
demo. You've probably seen this at your dealer by
now. It's the most mind-blowing piece of animation
we've ever seen on any personal computer. Also in
the latest batch was a PD Modula 2 Compiler, yet
another Mandelbrot Generator, this one by Tom
Wilcox, with excellent color controls and
exceptionally clear detail, more tutorials and games,
and Jay Miner's IFF slides diagramming the internals
of the Amiga. At $5.95 each, these are an excellent
value, and much cheaper than downloading the same
stuff.
MIMIC SPARTAN UPDATE
In response to our review and feedback from
endusers, Mimic Systems has stopped shipping the
Spartan Apple II emulator with the "Frankenstein"
drive board. That board, which converted a 1541 into
a pseudo-Apple drive, was the weak link in an
otherwise surprisingly adequate system. They are now
shipping the Spartan with an Apple-compatible drive
instead, and have managed to do so with only a
minimal $30 price increase. The Spartan with drive is
$329.95.

NEW MACS
Apple will have two new Macs on the market soon.
About the time you read this they will be releasing
the Macintosh SE, which is essentially a 10% faster
Mac Plus with a new mouse, new keyboard, and an
outboard connector for an external monitor so you
can have a display large enough to actually see. There
are rumors that Apple has built color support into the
new ROMs, but will not supply the unit with a color
monitor. It will have an IBM/PC-XT add-on board
as an option. The Macintosh II, slated for April
release, is the long-awaited open-architecture Mac,
with a large box and slots. It will have an optional
IBM/PC-AT add-on board and optional RGB color
capability,
BALLY/AMIGA DEAL
In a move destined to vastly improve the Amiga's
image in the microcomputer industry, Commodore
has inked a deal with Bally Manu-facturing to
provide Amiga graphics technology for the next
generation of commercial coin-op videogames.
Chicago-based Bally is the premier U.S. producer of
quality videogames and video gambling machines.
Commodore will supply Amiga-based proprie-tary
graphics boards and technical assistance to Bally. In
return, Commodore/Amiga will obtain computer
software license rights to the games that Bally
produces.
Bally's CEO Roger Keesee says, "The Amiga
system. ..will permit us to build a wide range of
products having outstanding graphics capabili-ties."
Bally introduced their first Amiga-technology
videogame, Moonquake, at the Amusement Coin
Expo in New Orleans the third week of March.
NICE TITLE
I haven't seen the game, but Political B.S. gets my
vote for best game title so far this year. Believe it or
not, this is an educational game, with over 1000
questions based on the U.S. Constitution. B.S. (which
stands for Bureaucratic System) is for the C64. $19.95
from Free Spirit Software.
COMMODORE IN THE HOME
In spite of Commodore's lack of promotion, one in
four homes with a personal computer still own a
Commodore. Despite Atari's recent push with both 8-
bit and 16-bit machines, the influx of inexpensive
IBM/PC clones, and Apple's introduction of new
models of the Macintosh and Apple II, Commodore is
still outselling any other brand in the home market.

LOS GATOS CLOSING
When the lease is up on the Amiga plant in Los
Gatos the end of March, Commodore-Amiga will
close its doors in California. It marks the end of the
West Coast Amiga era, and signals the departure of
(almost?) everyone involved in the development of
the original Amiga personal computer. The work on
new Amigas and Amiga peripherals will be taken
over completely by engineers in West Chester PA and
in West Germany.
GENLOCK, SIDECAR, ET. AL.
The latest poop is that the Genlock is now available
in limited quantities for a suggested retail of $195.
No Sidecars on the street as of this writing, though
Commodore says all the paperwork is back from the
FCC. The current story is that the Sidecar software is
being updated to the same version as that included
with the new A2000, which has the Sidecar built in.
Contacts at Commodore say that the A2000 will
debut before the U.S. Sidecar.
On the C64 front, there are still no 1764 RAM
expanders available at presstime, though we finally
found a 1351 mouse locally.
68010 UPGRADE FOR AMIGA
The only thing keeping you from plugging a 68010
chip into your Amiga's 68000 socket (thus achieving
an 8%-50% increase in speed, depending on the
application) is a single instruction that is
implemented differently on the 68010. Fortunately,
versions of the Amiga operating system since Vl.l
directly support the 68010 and cirumvent the
problem. If you are interested in making the
modification yourself, we suggest you check in with
the appropriate Amiga guru at your local Amiga
users' group, or at least get on the networks and ask
advice. Good luck!
DALTON PULLS SOFTWARE
B. Dalton Booksellers, one of the first chain stores
to install software racks alongside bookracks, is
phasing software sales out of their regular bookstores.
B. Dalton, like many other businesses, has been
acquired by another company. That company, which
was formed specifically for the purpose of acquiring
B. Dalton, is owned in part by the large book
publisher Barnes & Noble, and they want B. Dalton
"to go with more of a bookstore concept". B. Dalton's
associated Software Etc. stores will not be effected by
the change in policy, but the change will result in the
loss of about 400 software racks nationwide.

1571/C128 ROM UPGRADES
Right before Christmas Commodore released a
major revision of the ROM chipsets for the C128 and
1571 disk drive. These ROMs will be going into new
production models of these machines, and we assume
that anyone with the right contacts will be able to
obtain upgrade ROMs from Commodore Service,
The CI 28 ROMs must be replaced as a complete
set. They include fixes for many problems in the
operating system. BASIC 7.0 LIST, DELETE,
RENUMBER, PLAY, PRINT USING, DOPEN, and
other commands have been fixed to one degree or
another. There is also a relatively major update to the
way DMA is handled, which may be of importance
to those who are planning on using the 1750 or 1700
RAM expanders. You can easily tell if your C128 has
the new ROMs; the powerup copyright notice says
1986 instead of 1985.
The 1571 ROM upgrade fixes the save-with-replace
bug (finally!), BAM problems, REL file problems
(including the side 2 bug), the 1541-mode verify
double-sided flag bug, burst load of locked files, and
other problems. To identify this one, you may have
to peek drive RAM location SC000, which is $D3 in
the new ROM.
If you are getting good performance from your
C128 and 1571 now, there is really no reason to seek
out replacement ROMs for your machines. But if you
are having problems, by all means obtain replacement
chips. We'd say from a look at the technical specs of
the new chips that the 1571 ROM replacement will
be of more lasting consequence than a CI 28 ROM
upgrade. If you are contemplating buying a new
C128 or 1571, you might want to run the tests we
mentioned to make sure the unit you buy has the
latest ROMs.
GRAPHICS FOR C128
New CI 28 titles are coming in steadily, if slowly,
now, but Micro Aided Designs have come up with
the fist title we've seen that actually requires a CI 28
equipped with a 1750 RAM expander. This ambitious
work is called Technological Highbred Integrated
System, which creates the handy acronymn T.H.I.S.
This lightpen-driven graphics/CAD/animation system
is loaded with features. See the Product Roundup for
details.
POWER STORAGE
For all of you incredible power users who feel
restricted by mere 20 or 40 meg hard drives, C. Ltd
has announced the availability of a 350 megabyte
hard drive for the Amiga. The price is $6999.95,
which is a lot of bread, but it works out to only
$20/megabyte.

CES CHICAGO
The Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago always
offers something of interest for Commodore
computer owners. In spite of its name, this show is
for dealers and distributors only. If you fit that
description, the show this year is from May 30
through June 2 at Chicago's McCormick Place. The
computers will be in the new McCormick North
exhibition hall. Call 202-457-8700 for more info.
SPRING COMDEX
The spring Comdex show will overlap the CES
show this year, which means that most manufacturers
and showgoers will have to decide which show they
want to attend. Comdex, which is much more
business oriented than CES, will be held from June 1-
4 in Atlanta. For more info, call 617-449-6600.
NEW IBM UNCLONEABLE?
IBM's new 80386-based personal computer might be
based on new proprietory LSr Intel chips and a
totally new operating system that will be upwardly
file-compatible (but not program-compatible) with
MS-DOS. This approach will make the new machines
legally immune to cloning. The reason behind the
change is that as of last year, the clonemakers moved
ahead of IBM in PC sales, and are now as a group
selling many more IBM-compatible machines than
IBM is.
IBM has already fallen technologically behind the
clonemakers in many areas. Some companies are
offering advanced graphics capabilities, faster
operating systems, and integral hard drives for less
than the price of a standard IBM/PC. Some
clonemakers have even jumped the gun on IBM and
introduced MS-DOS machines that already
incorporate the more powerful 80386 Intel cpu chip.
Many industry watchers say that the rumors of
incompatibility are unlikely, and that IBM's new
machines will still be MS-DOS compatible, but if the
rumored incompatibility is true we have to ask: Who's
going to buy them?
CAMARADERIE
Our hats are off to Electronic Arts. The first issue
of their house magazine, Deluxe News, included
plenty of articles about their own products, but also
had features on NewTek's Digi-View and Digi-Paint
and Mimelic's Soundscape series. These products can
be used in conjunction with EA's products to give
the user enhanced capabilities, and it's refreshing to
see a company of EA's stature unafraid to send some
consumer dollars the way of the competition.

MARAUDER II
If you own an Amiga and don't have Marauder II
from Discovery, you don't have one of the best tools
an Amiga owner can have. It backs up all the Amiga
titles to date in record time, and Discovery promises
inexpensive updates to keep the program current. It's
easy to use, powerful, and inexpensive ($39.95), and
is not copy-protected itself (though it is random
keyword protected). This is Good stuff!
THINGS WE'D LIKE TO SEE
--> This time, here are some Things We'd Like To
See for Amiga Paint programs, most of which are
features already incorporated into some of the best
C64 paint programs:
(1) An object grab function like the one on
Picasso's Revenge for the C64. Grabbing objects just
by clicking on them is much handier than outlining
them.
(2) A smoothing optimizer like the one in Billboard
Maker. When enlarging a brush, this would smooth
out the "jaggies".
(3) Text reformatting as in GEOpaint. When you
resize the text area, the text reformats to fit it. What
a great feature!
(4) Erase to edges like the Erase feature in Doodle!.
This one is great for "hollowing out" filled shapes so
you can recolor or pattern fill them. And repeating
the process gives you a great "Op Art" effect!
When you think about it, it's really amazing to see
these functions from popular C64 paint programs not
yet implemented on the Amiga. (And while adding
these features, how about adding the ability to read
downloaded Macintosh and Atari ST picture files?
And why not include a set of standard PMS color
palettes for those of us who want to do real-world
printing and publishing color artwork?)
--> How about a Space Invaders type shoot-em-up
game for the C64 and/or Amiga with a built-in
Object Editor so you could blast the Frustrating
Object or Personage of your choice? Blast Happy
Faces to bits! Vaporize Smurfs! Shoot favorite
politicians down in flames! What a great tension
reliever that would be — Bring On the Ayatollah!

MILL
From the streets and back alleys, the darkened
smoke-filled rooms, and the hidden byways and
backroads of Commodoredom, here are the latest
rumors...
--> Commodore is said to have many internally-
developed programs on hand that they are not
going to sell. The major impediments seem to be
time, money, and manpower to get the titles
produced and out the door. Among the
casualties is a C128 assembler/development
system called DevPak, written by Fred Bowen
and Hedley Davis, two of the powers behind the
C128's operating system.
— > We keep hearing about a ROM for the C128
called the Walrus. It's said to be the BASIC 8.0
extension ROM, and is supposed to fit into the
famous empty internal socket. To be available
soon from a third party company...
--> Folks are speculating that the Fat Agnes
chip in the new A500 and A2000 (which is in a
square 80-pin package) could be upgraded pretty
easily to address a full megabyte of chip RAM
for graphics and sound. The meg in the A2000
and the 512K internal expansion RAM pak in
the A500 actually occupy the correct addresses
for additional chip RAM. How soon for a chip
redesign? Probably not for quite awhile.
--> AmigaWorld magazine is said to be going
monthly this Fall provided the number of Amiga
owners out there justifies it.
--> Acceptance of Commodore's Transformer
IBM/PC emulator software has been so
disappointing that they are "de-emphasizing" it
and may not even ship it with future 5.25"
Amiga drives. There is a chance that they may
even okay the release of the software into the
public domain.
--> Commodore is said to have responded to
Atari's inexpensive IBM/PC clone by showing a
'cheap clone' of their own at the West German
Hanover Faire. The PC-1 is said to offer two-
speed 8088 processing, DOS 3.2, a single 5.25"
drive, EGA graphics capability, built-in serial
and parallel ports and more for only $595.
TRUE FACTS
Just the facts, Ma'am
--> Commodore is closing down the original
Amiga facility at Los Catos. The staff had
already been pared down to a skeleton crew.
The doors close the end of March.
--> Burned into the A2000's main board is the
slogan: The Few, The Proud, The Remaining.
followed by the initials of the entire develop-
ment staff still employed by Commodore. The
model number on the prototype board is 2500,
but it will say 2000 on the final release board.
--> The A500 board has the cryptic phrase
Rock Lobster etched among its traces. This
machine had the working name of B-52, and
"Rock Lobster" is a song by the group the B-
52s.
--> Commodore has licensed the rights to the
Postscript page description language. They are
more concerned with being able to sublicense
Postscript to software developers for the Amiga
than in producing a laser printer of their own,
though that would certainly seem to be an
additional possibility.
--> Atari's newly announced and as-yet-
unavailable laser printer will have no brain of
its own, which is how they will come up with a
price tag of $1500. It will be driven by the ST,
and since the ST is not multitasking, printing
will be a stand-alone task which will take over
the machine until it's done.

WINTER CES
In January all the excitement was in Las
Vegas, the site of the Winter Consumer
Electronics Show. Nestled between the neon and
the slot machines, the shows and the showgirls,
were all the latest and greatest computerized
electronic gizmos — beeping, flashing, and hoping
to capture the attention of retailers, wholesalers,
and the press.
There have been bigger and better CES shows
for home computing in the past, but this one
featured many new and exciting products of
interest to Commodore computerists. If
anything, the Commodore excitement had built
since the previous show, fueled by Commodore's
business turnaround and the success of the
Amiga. Here are some of the show's highlights:
ATARI
We always like to check out what Jack Tramiel
and sons have up their sleeves, and the tricks at
this show were up to the established standard.
Atari announced that a $1500 laser printer and a
$499 IBM/PC clone would be available "soon".
(We have already heard, post-show, that these
will be "delayed"> The laser printer has no
brain of its own and will be driven directly by
the ST, which is why it is priced so low. The
PC clone will have built-in ports, EGA graphics
capability, and optional 8 MHz speed, if and
when it becomes available. Most observers are
agreed that Atari announced the clone to draw
the spotlight from Commodore's more expensive
(but real) PC clones.
They also announced a new Mega ST which
will include one, two, or four megabytes of
RAM, a blitter chip, a detachable keyboard, an
expansion buss, a battery backed-up clock, and
an integral 3.5" drive. It closely resembles a
certain Commodore computer. Retail will be
about $1500.
Atari's booth was once again jammed with
third-party developers showing software and
hardware for Atari machines, and they were
drawing huge crowds. One of the strangest items
at CES was an incarnation of 3D LCD shutter
glasses for the Atari ST from the folks at Antic
Publishing. These hardwired glasses click on and
off in sync with a video display to pass alternate
stereo images to your eyes, delivering a clear
color 3D video image to your visual cortex. A
3D CAD system designed by Tom Hudson (who
did Degas for the ST) comes with the glasses.
This interesting system runs only on an Atari
1040ST and will retail for under $200.

FISCHERTECHNIK
Two new robot kits from Fischertechnik look
intriguing. One is a three-axis robot arm, the
other a flatbed plotter. The arm boasts a lifting
capacity of 100 grams and accuracy to within 1
mm. It is driven by four separate stepper motors
and includes IR-detector positioning sensors.
The plotter has an accuracy of 0.5 mm and
looks as though it will accept up to 8.5"xll"
sheets. Both come with a C64/C128-compatible
interface and software.
BERKELEY SOFTWORKS
Berkeley was demonstrating several new GEOS
titles as well as vl.3 of GEOS itself. GeoCalc
($49.95) is a 112x256 cell spreadsheet with
windowing, variable column width, and many
functions. GeoFile ($49.95) is a form-based filer
which has you lay out your data on an 8.5"xl 1"
virtual page; it will also print mailing labels.
Writer's Workshop is a bundling of geoWrite
v2.0 with geoMerge, a mail-merge utility, Text
Grabber, which converts text files to GEOS
format, and geoLaser, an Apple LaserWriter
printer driver. GeoDex is an electronic address
filer which can sort, autodial, and print mailing
labels and phone lists. GeoPrint is a parallel
printer cable with driver software. DeskPak 1
bundles the Graphics Grabber graphics converter,
an Icon Editor, Calendar, and Blackjack game.
DeskPak 2 features the geoChart graphing
utility, which will work with geoCalc files, and
geoSpell spellchecker.
PROGRESSIVE PERIPHERALS
Besides Logistix, Progressive Peripherals was
showing Superbase Personal for the Amiga. It's
a powerful database manager, but we were
disappointed that the programmable Superbase
Professional isn't much closer to shipping. They
also announced that they had picked up the
distribution rights to Vizawrite for the Amiga
and C128 and Vizastar for the C128. They did
not pick up the rights to the C64 titles, and with
Solid State Software out of business, I guess that
leaves the U.S. temporarily without a source for
Vizawrite 64 and Vizastar 64. Vizawrite for the
Amiga ($149.95) looks like a winner, with many
desktop-publishing type features.

FIREBIRD
Firebird is showing more commitment to the
Atari ST than most of its competitors and
showed some ST-only titles at CES, but they're
still managing to get some interesting
Commodore 64 games out the door. Among
them are Tracker (S39.95), a 3D adventure with
artificially-intelligent opponents, Talking
Teacher ($39.95), a superb introductory
educational program with excellent graphics and
speech, and the C64 version of Starglider
($39.95), finally ported over from the ST. We
were disappointed to find that the Amiga
version of Starglider is not yet ready to show,
EPYX
Epyx introduced two new lines of
entertainment software at CES. The Street
Sports series, which features informal "back lot"
play and both strong and weak "neighborhood"
opponents, kicks off with Street Sports
Basketball and Street Sports Baseball. The
Masters Collection begins with Sub Battle
Simulator, an in-depth (ouch!) simulation of
U.S. submarine operations in WWII, with 60
different missions. All are for the C64. Epyx is
being cautious about Amiga introductions, with
Temple of Apshai already out and World Games
and Winter Games coming soon.

<■• ft,«4
EA again demonstrated its firm commitment to
Commodore computers at CES, with new
introductions and bargains on older titles for the
C64/C128 and the Amiga. EA announced they
had taken over distribution of Sierra On-Line's
software, which includes the King's Quest
trilogy , Space Quest, Winnie The Pooh, and
other titles for the C64. Coming soon from
Sierra are Police Quest and a game based on
Disney's The Black Cauldron.
EA introduced a new title for the C64 called
PHM Pegasus. The PHM stands for Patrol
Hydrofoil Misslecra/t. This Lucasfilm
production features realistic 3D solid-filled
animation and lots of action. Also on the C64
monitors at the EA suite was Bards Tale II: The
Destiny Knight. They have also moved some
titles into their Software Classics series, which
is priced at under SI 5. Included are Archon II,

Mind Mirror, Financial Cookbook, and several

On the Amiga side, besides tooting the
trumpets over the Deluxe series (some of which
are being ported now to the Apple IIGS), EA
was showing Earl Weaver Baseball, a split-
screen, realistic simulation of professional
baseball which includes a built-in baseball
expert system incorporating the knowledge base
of baseball manager Earl Weaver. This
simulation, the first in the Sports Legends
series, includes TV special effects like instant
replays and slow motion, and even lets you
build your own baseball stadiums! Also on the
screens was the long-awaited Return to Atlantis,
a long-term-involvement graphic adventure with
great pictures.
SONUS
Sonus was showing a bunch of MIDI-controI
software at CES on various machines. What
impressed us was that a C64 with a MIDI
interface could do about as much with MIDI as
an Atari 520ST. Many of the same programs
were available for both machines, and the C64
versions generally seemed to be holding their
own for a lot less money. There were even more
titles available for the C64 than for the ST, at
least in Sonus' booth.
COMMODORE
Though it could be argued that the most
exciting new Commodore products at CES were
upstairs under armed guard out of public view
(see our report on the new Amigas elsewhere in
this issue), there was still plenty to see in the
Commodore booth.
As promised, the PC-10-1 and PC-10-2,
CBM's IBM/PC clones, were there. The
machines are far from exciting, with standard
PC clock speed and only PC/XT compatibility,
but they do include parallel and serial ports
built-in, as well as monochrome and CGA-
compatible graphics, all for one reasonable
price. CBM is even throwing in a copy of
Borland's popular Sidekick program. Though in
short supply, you should be able to purchase a
clone with a Commodore sticker on it by the
time you read this.
In another bit of old news, the C128-D was
being shown, too. If you remember, Commodore
originally showed this C128 in an Amiga-like
case two years ago at CES, months before the

introduction of the Amiga. The units, like the
PC clones, have been available in Europe for
some time, but will now finally be sold in the
U.S. Commodore's UNIX machine was not in
evidence, nor was their recently-announced
PC/AT clone, both of which are European
exclusives for the time being.
They were saving all the hot new Amiga
introductions for later, but at CES CBM
introduced a couple of C64 products. First and
foremost was the long-awaited 1764 RAM
Expander. Its final configuration adds 256K of
RAM to the C64, along with a beefier power
supply for the 64, all for $129. Software
included with the unit will allow it to be used as
a RAM disk with both native C64 applications
and with GEOS programs. The 1351 Mouse,
which is already showing up in stores, is a $49
upgrade of the old 1350. Where the 1350
emulated a joystick, the 1351 provides you with
a true proportional mouse that can optionally be
configured as a joystick. Both are essential items
for GEOS power users. Commodore also again
showed the 1581 Disk Drive, an 800K 3.5"
microfloppy drive for the C64/C128. This $400
drive is not yet available, but will provide
Amiga-capacity storage for the 8-bit
Commodore machines. Though the format is not
Amiga-compatible, we have heard that a third-
party company is working on software to let the
drive read Amiga diskettes. (More on this as it
develops.)
CONCLUSIONS
The excitement level would have been higher
at the Commodore booth had the new Amigas
been in evidence on the main floor, but as it
was there was plenty to keep Commodore
watchers occupied at CES. Much of the third-
party activity was centered on Commodore
machines, including some incredible 3D
animation software from Aegis for the Amiga
(see sidebar). Things should be even more
exciting in the new Computer Pavillion at CES
in June. On to Chicago!

VideoScape 3D
Easily the most fascinating thing I saw at the Winter CES was a
videotape created with a prototype of VideoScape 3D, a new
professional-grade graphics product being readied for June release
by Aegis Development.
Originally developed by Alan Hastings, VideoScape 3D allows
Amiga users to create sophisticated 3D animations which look very
much like the stuff you see on network television. Look at the
sequence to the right: what you see are five still frames taken from
a 5 to 10 second video done with VideoScape 3D. The scene starts
with the classic Amiga "Boing" ball which smoothly and rapidly
flattens, rotates, recedes, and turns into a doughnut shape
simultaneously! You have to see this to believe it- the pictures
don't do it justice (and this is one of the simpler demos I saw).
Unlike previous animation programs for the Amiga,
VideoScape 3D works with solid-filled objects and simulated
lighting sources. The large photo is from a longer video which has
the "camera" view moving up, away, and around as the car pulls
up and parks by the house (all the while maintaining the proper
shadow and lighting effects and showing the hidden surfaces of
these complex objects as they come in to view!)
We will have a full review of VideoScape 3D when it is
completed, but currently here are some of the product specs:
Min. system: 512K Amiga and a video recorder with single-frame
recording capability (flying erase heads)
Ideal system: 1 MEG (or more) Amiga with 2 drives and a 3/4" or
8mm video recorder with integral controller.
Price: $199.95
Compression techniques allow 3-5 seconds of animation from RAM without recording
gear / uses 16 colors at a time from an total 256-color pallete and uses "on-the-fly"
interpolation routine to access additional colors as needed / supports genlock
(optional) / 2 minutes of animation reside on one disk / 30 seconds to 1 min. to
generate original objects, 3-10 seconds to generate animation frames / animations are
entirely created and written with text scripts and numeric coordinate entry- any text
editor may be used for composition and editing / real-time previewing and editing
allows testing effects before recording / controllable attributes include camera angle,
Light source, spectral reflection (chrome to dull look) multiple camera movements in
scene, camera zoom, second order smoothing (automatic camera transitions ) / any
frame can be made into an iff picture / use any iff picture for foregrounds and
backgrounds / 4 resolutions from 704 X 440 to 352 X 220 ( all overscan), single-step
thru frames / optional wire-frame mode (play back in real-time from RAM) /
automatic fractal surface-generation module and shape creation / metamorphic
transitions (object tweening). -BD
