The numbers are for the version of the software. Some work on 7 but not 11, some work on 11 but not 7.

There's nothing listed for version 9 at the moment, but if it works on 7 or 11 then it maybe it could work

on 9, and if it works on 7 and 11 then it definately should work on 9. There's no version 8 or 10. Anyone

confused? Good.

Also check out the Archos Overdrive home pages. Have a look in the Internet section for details.

This area is currently under development and will be greatly expanded upon later.

Q: Are there any licence agreements that have to be made to produce CD32 software?

A: The first real problem is in making a bootable CD32 disc. This requires special software and

license/royalty agreements which were available from the C= developer programs.

Developers who obtained these rights before the C= liquidation may be able to master the CD-ROMs

with the appropriate boot/system files, for you - as your publisher.

Update: March 2000 - Gateway bought the Amiga, then turned around and sold most of it to a private

party. The chances are HIGHLY unlikely another CD32 will ever roll off an assembly line, and while

they are currently still making Amiga 4000T somewhere in the world, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Q: How do I master my own CDs?

A: This is a quick description made after reading Asimware's info sheet (it's probably better to read the

full thing for yourself if you're interested before making up your mind):

Asimware's Master ISO costs US $550.00/CDN $720.00 and works on an Amiga with Workbench 3, a

SCSI controller, 1.3 gig of HD space, 16 meg of RAM, and a CD recorder. It can create ISO 9660

CD-ROMs with 8.3 and long file names from one or more volumes, Music CDs (Red Book) from

CDDA, MAUD, or AIFF files, and CDs which are a mixture of the two. It can also make CDTV and

CD32 bootable CDs (you need a developer licence though). It supports Yamaha CDR100, Pinnacle

RCD-202, Philips CDD-521, and CDD-522 CD recorders.

Q: What are the authoring capabilities available for the CD32?

A: Theoretically, any standard Amiga development tools for AGA machines should be useful for

developing applications that run on a CD32. This would include Multimedia tools with freely

distributable players, C compilers, assemblers, etc.
