Dear visitor,
as you've probably noticed, the DHS.NU site have slowly but steady become less and less updated with
news over the last decade or so, to the point that it's only a handful of articles every year.
There are many factors playing in, but the most important have been that we need more editors, but a home cooked and unflexible way to
update the site with new content have been a show stopper.
But now, things change. A bunch of Atari demoscene veterans have joined forces to remedy the sitation.
We've opened a new site for news about
the Atariscene world. We hope it will be successful and live for many years to come.
DHS.NU will become a read only site in steps, starting with the news section. There are 1717 articles in
the archive spanning thirty years. We'll show a few random articles here on the front page and in the archive you can browse year over year.
We'd like to thank everyone who has visited DHS.NU to read demoscene news over the years and hope
you'll find Atariscne.org a good
replacement!
Blast from the past

Some rumours from demo-land:
It would seem like the ST-Demos from STNICCC 2000 are finally going out for release in a short while.
Talks are indicating that both .tSCc.'s "Centauri" demo and Sector One's cooperation-demo with Dune are only missing the very final touches before release.
Hopefully they will be downloadable from here in a short while, keep those fingers crossed.

There has been lots of talk about Centek the last time. That the Phenix computer has gone down, which apart from Milan 2 seemed like the last outpost if you wanted something new that ran Atari software.
The reason for Phenix to dissapear seems to have been the software side. One of the key developers of "Dolmen" had left the team. As everything in Phenix was concentrated around this, the project fell apart like a punktured balloon.
However after these news, lots of people started to suggest Centek that they should look at anohter operating system, which were already available and prooven to be stable and well developed, namely MiNT.
And for once in a lifetime, it looks like the company listened to it's customers. As you can now read about the "Phenix 260T" workstation as "the first MiNT computer". The Phenix 260T is a scaled down - but still hotted version of the "old" Phenix. The specs are:
CPU: 68060 / 83 MHz (one or two chips)
LOCAL BUS: 83 MHz/32 bit. 266 mbyte/sec
EXPANSIONS: One AGP slot, five PCI slots, two USB ports
MEMORY: 2 DIMM holders, up to 1 gigabyte
FLASH ROM: 512 kilobytes
IDE ATA-4: UDMA-33 with PCI-MASTER. 132 mbyte/sec
MISC: PS/2 ports for keyboard+mouse. Realtime clock with nvram. ATX 2.1 case.
And now for the fun part, buying the damn thing. :-) Anyone who read the original Phenix price surely had their pizza in the wrong throat. However, this new cut-down Phenix is in real lowprice-land.
Base system:
ZIP 100 drive
32 megabyte memory
AGP RAGE Pro graphics
6.4 gigabyte harddisk
CD-Rom drive
Keyboard/Mouse
Minitower
Price with one 060: 913 Euro ($900, SEK8000, DM1800)
Price with two 060: 1142 Euro ($1100, SEK10000, DM570)
Personally I think this is the best news from Centek in ages. Just hope the machine will be available in a short while.
All infos above were collected either on IRC or from Centeks homepage. I don't take resonsibility for the accuracy, you should take it mostly as rumours, except those parts snipped right from Centeks website.
