WHICH SOFTWARE IS AVAILABLE FOR THE PowerUP®

ACCELERATORS?

To support the availability of powerful applications, phase 5 digital products has supported

Amiga developers worldwide with developer systems and developer support. Some results of

this development program are available in form of software products which are ready for

PowerUP® at the time the first CYBERSTORM PPC Accelerator Boards are shipping. Other

important developments can be expected in the very near future, as with the release of the

CYBERSTORM PPC additional developers have the product available to start development

or optimization of PowerUP® software, and as the developers who have been working with

developer prototypes now have release products available which reveal the full power and

performance of this new product generation. Software development is also supported by the

new releases of the PPC library with new functionalities that allow a rapid development of

PowerUP® optimized software applications.

With the PowerUP® product line, the PowerUP® system software development and our

developer support program, however, we do not only want to offer and support products that

actually increase the performance of the Amiga and applications running on it, but also want

to offer a path to the future. Therefore, we also support developments of alternative operation

systems such as e.g. Linux, which can run fully on the PowerPC side of the PowerUP®

boards. With the demo software and development tools that come along with the PowerUP®

boards (GNU C compiler with PowerUP® support, examples, tools etc.) the system is also

well suited for all developers who want to do some hobby programming or also real personal

software development on their own. We hope that we can support the use of the Amiga as a

computer for the creative power user with these steps.

On the CD-ROM supplied with the CYBERSTORM PPC you will find also infos about and/or

demo versions of software applications which are available for PowerUP®, or are being

finalized, prepared or in planning. From autumn 1997 on you can also find the latest

information about PowerUP®, available products and related projects on the comprehensive

web pages under http://www.phase5.de.
