>1. How can I create CDXL files (without buying ADPro 2.5)

Outside of being a developer (for C=), I doing think there are any
programs to create CDXL files.  Also- as a video format, it frankly
sucks- as you might know it uses no compression, just takes images and
mixes them with a sterio audio sample so that, with HAM you could get a
1/4 screen image moving at 10-15 FPS- fine when CDTV came out, but not
much good in 1996.  I'm really hoping AT will endorse some new format
when the PowerAmiga comes out, i.e. QuickTime or include MPEG hardware.

>surely it is suited for fast mathematical conversions ?

I think there are several fast routines out there on the AmiNet, some
use the math co-processors, I think, while others use the blitter and
some just the 680xx.

>PS. Anyone with news of CeBit and the new modular Amiga prototype, please
>post it !

There are some offical looking specs on WWW.AMIGA.DE, from what I can tell, it will use a 68030 (or 680EC30), has 5-6 Megs, a 4XCROM, HD disk-drive, hard-drive, detachable keyboard and is more expandable than the A1200 by way of a single slot in the center than is designed to take Zorro, PCI, whatever- I think its some custom job that is open for 3rd parties to design their own stuff for.  The Case?  well its rounded, strange...
