DUAL INTERFACE Cumana have launched a new combined interface that provides an extra 0.5 Mbytes of RAM and an MFM ST506 hard disk interface as well. The unit plugs into the A501 expansion slot underneath the A500 and has a modified expansion slot cover that enables the hard disk cables to come out neatly and allow access to the memory on off switch. The board also has a battery-backed real-time clock, DMA support, fast floppy boot software and supports 40 Mb drives with up to eight heads. Price £159.95 from Cumana. ® 0483 503121 ASSEMBLED DOWN UNDER Software for the Amiga is springing up all over the place these days - the latest is an assembler from DigiSoft in Australia. Macro68 supports all the Motorola M68000 group of processors as well as the Amiga copper. If assemblers are as mystical as water to you then I suggest you skip the next bit where you find out that Macro68 uses the new M68000 assembly language syntax. It has a special structure offset directive to assure maximum compatibility with the Amiga’s interface conventions, full listing control including cross-referencing, a user-accessible file where you can customise directives and run-time messages, an AREXX interface is included and there is also a shared library that allows the use of pre-assembled, resident include files. Well, that's enough techno-wib- ble, what else you need to know is that Macro68 costs $ 195 (Australian) and is available from DigiSoft, 12 Dinmore Street, Moorooka, Brisbane, Queensland, 4105 Australia. EDINBURGH MON RESULTS Joint winners of this year's Animation Competition Exhibition held at the Amiga Centre Scotland were J Gee and E Messina.
