![]() I will be here until there is no more IBrowse Amiga that works on the web. There must be lots of other features still hidden in the program that I have not as yet tapped into, but there is so much that it does with the limitations of the CPU speed we have at our disposal, and considering that compared to the Windows environment IBrowse is head & shoulders better for what it is capabale of doing. I really like using IBrowse, and just recently worked out that adding extra user defined buttons on the navigation keyline gave me as additional 5 extra HOTKEYS/FASTLINKS for regularly used sites, which I have been able to add logos to so I know they relate to Amiga sites or other sites I want to lookup quickly & regularly. I use Firefox on the PC, and liken it to IBrowse, or should I say that the other way around as I use IBrowse a lot more than I do Firefox, and avoid using IE wherever & whenever I can. He seems in some way to have distanced himself away from his own product, which he should be proud of, and of the users who are still waiting to thank him for it, but he never seems to be listening for the praise or wanting to acknowledge his users, which is a REAL SHAME. I would really like to hear from Stefan about what has held him up with sorting out a distributor for his copyrighted software, but having been disappointed so many times about not having a reply from him, I feel it is highly unlikely to happen. I feel sure we would all appreciate a direct reply about this from futaura (Oliver), 1. He has a website all can access and knows how to collect the fees, this could all be done swiftly and quite simply, if Oliver & Stefan could agree between themslves that it is OK. I cannot think of another person who I would put my FULL TRUST in than Oliver Roberts to do this at this moment. He supplies his own for his own products, and collects the fee for his own keyfile. If he is magnanimous enough to volunteer to do it, for a small percentage of the keyfile fee, if OK'd by Stefan, to distribute/sell the IB keyfiles, as he is surely up to the task of being able to do this. why is Oliver Roberts NOT be the keyfile authoriser/distributor? The 2.4 version of course being the BEST SO FAR. I for one, am particularly grateful to Oliver Roberts for ALL his work on IBrowse, and on his work on Warp Datatypes (which I am a registered keyfile holder of), & that also includes all the other developers who have assisted in the release of all the IB2.x versions that we have enjoyed so far. They have not kept the information available, in a reasonable way, of where IB3 might be up to, for all to be aware, and not have to ask these roundabout questions about it's future. The IBrowse team have just allowed current development, and support for their current product to gather cobwebs on the WEB, as a result of which they have lost the momentum, and failed to offer a reasonable amount of up to date information about their intended/current COMMERCIAL product, with NO COMMERCIAL PARTNER there to answer the demand for keyfiles. So.I do not feel your comments are justified here to tell me or anyone else off as I do not think there is anyone who has so far made a comment about the IBrowse topic that has demanded anything from the IBrowse team that should not already have been put in place. This approach results in a completely noise free output as the signal has effectively been re-quantised to just a few levels and it works extremely well when there is enough difference between the voltage levels of the video source but it won't work at all if the voltage levels are too close together so they can't be reliably separated due to noise. (The video is stored in an 8 bit per pixel frame buffer which uses a colour look up table to set the final RGB output colours and those tables are set from the palette menu) It effectively turns the analog outputs of those sources into a TTL EGA style signal although the TTL levels represent different colours to the EGA standard so you have to select a different palette in the palette menu. In fact there are two comparators for each of the YUV / RGB channels (Lo & Hi) so that they can detect up to 3 levels each and that is enough to discriminate the three video levels on each of the RGB signals on the Spectrum +2A & +3, the Amstrad CPC 464, 664 & 6128 (not 6128 plus) and any system that uses the Motorola 6847 video chip which has 3 levels each of YUV such as Tandy Color Computer, Dragon & Atom. I admit its confusing as further on there is the following:įor YUV, there are extra comparators for the U & V channels and RGBS mode is also implemented similarly but there is an additional DAC & comparator for the separate sync. ![]() Values: 6 Bits Per Pixel / 6 Bits (4 Level)Ħ Bits (4 level) = use 3 line to 2 bit encoders on the analog card to increase the number of analog levels detected.
