Compact & Hardcopy

Yearbook Compact

A highly compressed version of the CPC Oxygen yearbook have been uploaded (thanks to Richard Fairhurst for that) to our download page (click here). It comes in at just over 6 Megabytes and only looses some image quality.

Yearbook Printed Version

A paper copy of the yearbook is also available from our CafePress.com shop at:

http://www.cafeshops.com/cpcoshop

It has over 150 letter-sized pages, printed in black and white with a full colour cover. The price is as follows:

*Postage price is for Europe

Prices are in US$ since CafePress is an American company. The yearbook is a bit on the expensive side but the option is there for anyone wanting a good quality hardcopy. All profits will go back into the CPC Oxygen site.

Latest CPC News

CPC Paint has been released. It's a program for Windows which translates PC images into CPC screens. Check it out at: http://www.actk.fr.fm

Thanks to Chris Guelff for that news. If anyone got any CPC or retro news in general please feel free to share it with us at: john @ digi-alt.net

In other news, scanning of Amstrad Action will start up again from June onwards, we still have a few issues on our hard drives to upload. We also working on a new improved interface that works better with the site.

We also noticed that a few sites (can think of two, one British, one French) that are hosting Amstrad Action scans, neither CPCO or it scanners are responsible for this and didn't support those sites in any way as to keep with the agreement of Future Publishing. We honor their kind agreement down to the letter and will continue to do so. I personally got no problem with the above (not sure about Future Publishing) but shouldn't those sites at least give recognition to the scanners for their hard work? I think they should. Meanwhile, I'm off to read the latest issue of PC Format ;-)

CPC-NG CD-ROM

The latest news from the CPC-NG team is that there's a new CD-ROM containing all the current stuff about the CPCNG. That means schematics, gerber files for production of the board, source code of the OS and NGBasic, technical documentation and original stuff not available before today (such as video document about CPCNG) etc.

The CD (which is in English) is titled "Inside CPCNG" and is available now for 20 Euro which includes postal costs within Europe. To get your hands on the CD-ROM, write to Christophe Guelff with the money and your return address at:

LASTEST NEWS: 11 APR 2K4

The second CPC Oxygen site (first with dedicated URL) which came online January 2003 will be closed in the next few days. From now on CPC Oxygen can be accessed from here at cpcoxygen.digi-alt.net which is a part of the www.digi-alt.net (currently work in progress).

The main reason for the changes is for cost effectiveness, one domain, one server, for everything. The other reason is that while our old server provider was good, they just didn't offer the space we needed to hold scans for the Amstrad Action project (well not for a cheap price anyway).

Hopefully the change will be a smooth one and that we won't loose any of our regular visitors who might not have heard that we moved URLs. Oh almost forgot, the old email address will not be in use soon, so for the time I can be contacted at the following address: john@digi-alt.net

On other news, the CPC Oxygen Yearbook is finished. It'll be uploaded here in the coming days. Sorry for the big delay, with college and so on it just kept at 90 percent plus completed for months.
