Hiatex has moved to South Carolina. Thier address is Hiatex Resources PO box 20609 Charleston SC 29413-0609 But they are really in Mount Pleasant South Carolina Thier phone is Voice: 1-803-881-7518 Fax:BBS 1-803-881-7522 (I have not called this number) I talked to Shaun Glisson, and he said: Hiatex is still making X-Xpecs for Amiga with a interface box software,and devo kit, Nintendo bare and OEM for several companies. X-specs will work on a A3000, but not in any non-interlace mode. The X-Specs software are not 2.0 compatable, but they might work anyway. You can buy a set from them for $125 or (an old version) from Creative Computers for 94.95; The Devo Kit is $50 and is back orderd, it allows you to control the specs and do memory management, but the mathematical software for the generation of steroscopic images is not available (but will be... sure). They also send some goodies like a tech report from a sigraph, and references to other articles. Finally, several people, including myself, are working on X-Specs projects, if you are too, or did in the past, or are considering it for the future, email me, and we all can compare notes and share info.
