All damages to the Fair centre, other surroundings and other dam= ages caused by party visitors will be REDUCED from the prizes before any prizes are paid. This is because of previous trouble with pe= ople breaking up places, furniture and spraying the walls and thus ca= using damage of many thousand dollars. The actual prizes may be software, hardware or pure cash. This depends on our sponsors. The following list includes only the pr= e- liminary list of the prizes (the final lists will be published a= t the party place). Also keep in mind that the money exchange rates al= so affect this list (at the time of the writing of this text file o= ne US dollar was 4.85 finnish marks). We will try to give cash prizes in the PC and Amiga demo compe- titions. The prizes in the other competitions may be more or les= s various hardware and software. All the cash prizes will be paid in Finnish currency.

The system supports stereo output and will be a real kicker with 10 000 watts of pure sound power. The big screen in the main hall is over 8 meters wide and supports the 640x480 resolution! * Halls * The party area is composed of two halls. The halls are separated by a heavy curtain. The main area is 4500 square meters (equals 1500 computer places). The sleeping hall is on the first floor this year (the sleeping hall used last year being remonted this year). The sound proofin= g isn't as good as last year, but sleeping isn't mandatory in part= ies =3D). Sleeping area is almost as big as last year. Remember to bring y= our own sleeping bags. Neither of the halls have windows so the video screens will look absolutely fabulous at the competitions and it will dark enough to sleep. * Services * The party place is the biggest fair centre in Finland. It will feature 24h food service (yes, we have Coke!), 24h security personnel, 24h professional electrician, 24h luggage preservatio= n service and cleaning personnel. Also 24h help desk with friendly personnel will be available to help you out with any problems yo= u might encounter. Plenty of toilets and some showers will be available. Cool party T-shirts will be sold for low price. - 16 - -------------------------------------------------------PARTY FEATURES----= ---- * Parking fee * Unfortunately the ASSLY '96 visitors have to pay for their we= ekend parking. The cost is not much thou, it is 40 FIM for weekend par= king. You will have a weekend parking ticket and a special Assembly pa= rking area at your use. | * Party network information * | | Again, a local area network (LAN) will be available for party | visitors. As last year, the connection method is BNC / thinnet c= able. | The Internet connection is handled by at least 10 Mbit/s ATM so = that | is clearly fast enough for our use. | | WHAT DO I NEED TO GET CONNECTED TO THE LAN? | | - one network card. Make sure it has BNC coupling in it. RJ-45 o= r | AUI are not supported at all. | - one T-connector | - piece of cable (thinnet, 50 ohm, BNC coupling, 2-3 meters) | | There might be some cards/connectors available at the net-info t= o be | sold but don't count on that. Most propably there is some cable | available to party visitor use, but again, don't count too much = on | that either. The network is handled as it was last year, we'll b= ring | one end of the cabling to one table, you will have to get the re= st | (check above). | | COMPETITIONS SHOWN ON THE INTERNET! | | Thanks to the ATM technology, we are able to transmit real-time = video | and audio from the party place with Telecom Finland's MediaNET | technology. Software are available as links in www.assembly.org | before august so you can hook to the network and see yourself (t= he | software is basically XING technologies viewers, try www.xingtec= h. | com). We will send out live feed from the competitions. The reso= lution | will be 352 x 240 at 25 frames/sec. A realaudio radiostation wil= l be | put up, read more info about it below. - 17 - -------------------------------------------------------PARTY FEATURES----= ---- | HOW DO I GET AN IP ADDRESS? | | You get it from the net-info. Be prepared that the rules are qui= te | strict when you hook up to the net. We do NOT allow any unauthor= ized | servers running in the partynet (you most probably get a permiss= ion | to run one, but the netcrew has to know about it). Also, any kin= d of | routing is prohibited. More precise rules are available at the | net-info. If you fail to follow those, your machine will be take= n out | from the net. | | IRC? WWW? | | We have our own irc servers and www servers at the party place, | information is available in the web quite realtime. | | WHAT IS AN IP ADDRESS? HELP I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND! | | If you don't know what a T-connector or a network card is, don't | bother with the whole network ;) If however you have questions a= bout | the network or more precise need of information, you can contact= the | netcrew of Assembly '96 at email address netcrew@assembly.org. | | | * Network Radio * | | The D2LIK audio system (invented by Liket of Goto10) makes this | possible - CD quality audio through the party network 24 hours a= day. | The party radio station Ravio 96.2 will play Pop/Rock/Dance/Rave= 24 | hours a day throughout the whole ASSEMBLY '96. | | Technical specifications: | | The receiver system requirements are quite modest. | First of all you need a network card and IPX drivers. Three rece= ivers | exist: DOS, DOS TSR and Windows'95/NT. | | The DOS receiver supports Soundblaster 16 and better, Gravis | Ultrasound and MAX and Windows Sound System. It runs on 100% | compatible cards too, of course. This receiver runs on a 486sx-1= 6 | (but not 386dx-40 or Cyrix 486DLC - 486 specific instructions ar= e | utilized). - 18 - -------------------------------------------------------PARTY FEATURES----= ---- | The DOS TSR receiver is not finished at this time (6'th July 199= 6) | but will be. The TSR receiver will at least support SB16 and GUS. | Hopefully also WSS and GUSMAX. The GUS support works also on GUS= MAX, | but the MAX native support sounds a little bit better. | | The Windows 95/NT receiver will NOT run under Windows 3.11, but | supports all soundcards with windows drivers, even SB 1.0 (even | though the sound isn't what an audiophile would call HiFi with | such a soundcard). | | The Transmitter (for anyone who wants to know) is a 486dx2-66 | with Soundblaster Vibra 16 and NE2000 network card. Anyway, | should you have music you want to hear on the radio, bring it | to Assembly - the possibility of getting it played is very big. | | If you have any questions, send a mail to Liket at samskolan@one= .se. - 19 - -------------------------------------------------------ASM'96 CD-ROM-----= ---- All the participating pieces of art from the competitions will b= e assembled to a single ASSEMBLY '96 CD-ROM. This will be a unique possibility for everyone to get hundreds of megabytes data conta= ining ALL demos, intros, pics, mods, etc. published at ASM '96. THERE'S NO OTHER EASY WAY TO COLLECT THEM ALL. We will pay royalties of the net revenue of the CD-ROM disks to = the winners (which sign the exclusive CD-ROM distribution agreement)= in the competitions (except for the Amiga and C-64) as follows (in percents): CODE COMPETITIONS DEMO INTRO 4KB INTRO 1. 2.5% 0.7% 0.4% 2. 2.0% 0.5% 0.3% 3. 1.5% 0.4% 0.1% ART COMPETITIONS MUSIC 4/32 CH GRAPHICS / RAYTRACE ANIMATION 1. 0.4% 0.4% 0.7% 2. 0.3% 0.3% 0.5% 3. 0.1% 0.1% 0.4% If you do a fix for the production after the party and you wish = to include it on the CD-ROM kindly send it to any places listed in = the contact addresses. In case of problems, please contact ASSEMBLY Organizing. All productions which wish to have possibility of receiving roya= lties have to include a statement that the author(s) retain all copyri= ghts. See the RIGHTS.TXT for an adequate copyright license. We suggest that you include the copyright license into the software (into t= he demo's/intro's end screen, to the pattern names of music tune fo= r example) to ensure that it is not removed. - 20 - -------------------------------------------------------ASM'96 CD-ROM-----= ---- The biggest reason for requiring exclusive distribution contract= s for winning productions is to ensure that nobody else will sell the production on a CD-ROM. What has happened before is that compani= es just put your productions on a CD-ROM and pay no royalties what = so ever to the author. This way they can sell the CD-ROM cheaper. Because ASSEMBLY Organizing is dedicated to work with the scene = we want to stop this. The only way to do is to have adequate copyri= ght licenses (see the RIGHTS.TXT and INFO.TXT) and exclusive distrib= ution agreements. The royalties will be paid twice in the period of one year after= the release of the CD-ROM disk in the form of a cheque by mail. This means the last royalties for the ASSEMBLY '96 CD-ROM disk will b= e paid around ASSEMBLY '97 time. * ASSEMBLY '95 CD-ROM (eRAVE 1) is out * The complete collection of ALL ASSEMBLY '95 releases is now avai= lable. With over 100 great demos, more than 350 different music tunes a= nd much much more it is the coolest ever production by ASSEMBLY Organizing. And the CD-ROM is the extremely easy to use: just ac= tive our custom built GUI and warp into the world of demos! The thril= ling ASSEMBLY '95 compilation is cheap! The price for a single item i= s only 25 US dollars! ASSEMBLY Organizing is dedicated to the scene - ASSEMBLY Organiz= ing is the only demo CD-ROM manufacturer that gives royalties to the= best productions on the CD-ROM. Up to 20% of the net revenue of the C= D-ROM is handed back to the scene as royalties!

Replacement is similar, though there are some subtle differences. Basically, you only have to worry about jumper settings for SCSI device (usually three adjacent jumpers, with all off being SCSI device 0 which i= s what you'll need if this is to be the main 'boot' drive) and parity (usually marked EP for Enable Parity, and this should be enabled to use o= n a CMD HD system).
