hi! this chapter is just a collection
of some small articles that i've written
the last month.

read and react!



      EUPHORIA 1992 + EUPHORIA 1994
     -------------------------------

well, i cleaned up a disc box today. and
on one disc there was EUPHORIA #1.
yes, you know the mag from NOICE. but
to give you some more info about this
thing. the mag was from 1992 released
on 920504 to be exact! huh!

it wasn't a noice mag. no, that mag was
made by an australian group called
JUSTICE. and the editors was streethawk
and dynast. and i'm not sure if there
came any more issue's. as it's the only
issue i've seen.

so now i wonder is it just a coincidence
that the noice mag has the same name
like the one from justice.

or, have the noice'ers also heard the
album STATE OF EUPHORIA by anthrax.
which was the thing that inspirated the
australians to the name.

well, STASI i don't blame you, or anyone
else in noice, for a name-theft. but i
just wanted to inform you and the scene
about this.

               SID DAMAGE
              ------------

have you ever been to a party? and on
your trip home your are very lucky
because you have copyed all the stuff
that was released.

but when you come home and shall listen
to the winning tune in the music
competition then the tune sounds
terrible. the samples don't sound at
all.

at the party they used a c64 with
an old sid chip(6581) and you have the
new one(8581) in your computer.

the reason is that in the first sid chip
there was a bug. there was always lying
an electronic voltage on the sound
output, even if there wasn't any sound
played.

you could generate waveforms, like with
a d/a converter, only if you changed the
volume. unfortunately commodore
removed that bug on the new sid-chip.

but the new sid have a sound input.
so if you connect a resistor on 470k
ohms between ground and the sound input
(pin 26) then you'll have an electronic
voltage on the sound output again.
now the samples should sound good.
if you use a variable resistor then you
also can change the volume on the
samples.

if you don't know where to find the sid
or if you don't know which pin 26 is
then just read on.

on my c64 (a c64c) then the sid is in
the middle of the computer. the sid has
28 legs. 14 on each side. and the half
moon thing on one of the shortsides is
placed from you.

to find the right pin. if you place ic
like this, where the half moon thing
is the "u", then the pins numbers is
like this.
           (seen from the upper side.)

  1i-u-i28
  2i   i27
  3i   i26<solder the resistor to this
  4i   i25 pin and connect the other
  -------- part to ground(gnd).
 13i   i16
 14i---i15

remember that the chip has 28 legs. and
that the left side have the numbers 1-14
and on the right side 15-28. hope you'll
understand what i mean.

be very careful when you are soldering.
as the chips in the computer are very
sensitive for static electricity.

if you are doubting on any point or if
you never have done a soldering before.
then i recommend that you let somebody
else to do that.                     d

REMEMBER that neither i or any member of
the jamaica-staff take NO responibility
if you destroy anything in your computer
while operating

if you think this isn't enough! if you
say, i want more! then there might be a
whole chapter about what you could do
with your computer. how to make a drive-
reset,dma-stopper (pause-switch), turbo-
switch and some other easy things.

       I'VE NEVER THRUST A STATIC
            AND I NEVER WILL!

               hehe......

             THE REAL ELITE
            ----------------

have you read about the thing between
DUKE/regina and NTI/entropy in issue#45
of THE TRIBUNE? if not then read it.

well, that article made me think about
what's really elite?

duke listed up the background of him,
crossfire and the other editors. and he
said that he calls the states and has
many friends there. is he elite because
of that!?

you know, i have relatives in the usa!?
am i elite because of that? actually, i
would be more elite then him because i
have relatives there and he just have
friends!

i have never understood what makes a
dude elite when he calls the states?

well,this was not just meant to duke but
to the whole board-scene. but i took
duke's text as an example.

take a look at this story.

xxx is a cool and elite dude. he have
never swapped as he thinks that it's
just for lamers. but he calls the boards
sometimes. right now he is uploading
some new cracks on a board. after he
has done that he writes the normal
notes to his friends on that board. now,
he has traded a bit and now he is very
cool and elite. the whole thing took
about half an hour.

then we have yyy. he is a normal swapper
with around 50 contacts. he has got his
group's latest demo. it fills up 2 disc
sides. so he is just sending stuff from
his own group. as he is a very friendly
dude he always send a big note with
personal stuff. and as he just owns one
drive, the copying of discs will take a
long time. so, he is ready with every-
thing at 1.00 am. and he started at
5.00 pm. eight hours of work. will he
get more elite because of that? no it
depends on the demo.

but i believe it's all like in real life
those who clean toilets and work hard
won't get that much salary while those
politicians get at least twice as much
payment.

well, this text was just written to tell
   you my opinion of the thing called
                 "elite"




        thanx for your attention!
