PNG icons: KDEView makes change easier
Pietro Ghizzoni has thought about how to help users who want to change their Workbench from classic Amiga icons to PNG icons. As you have to replace numerous icons by hand he has written a small program that shows all PNG icons of a directory in a window and makes the "picture exchange" possible via drag'n drop.

Experimental version of LinuxUAE
Because the development of WinUAE has been faster forced than the Linux version and because
the Linux version has been not updated for a long time Richard Drummond has ported
a lot of the changes of WinUAE to Linux. For more detailed information have a look at
the Changelog.
Under the title link you can find seperate versions LinuxUAE which he calls experimentally.

Interview with Alan Redhouse from Eyetech (Update)
The Amiga-portal AmigaWorld has
interviewed Alan Redhouse who is the manager of the Eyetech Group.
Update: (cg, 21.11.2003, 14:25)
We have summarized the most important statements of Alan Redhouse in the following lines:
- Alan Redhouse thinks that more AmigaOnes have been sold than other "open" (that means
not Apple/IBM) PPC systems.
- since AmigaOS4 has been officially demonstrated on the AmigaOne the amount of sold
AmigaOnes has been increased
- currently it is tried to deliver all "Earlybird"-customers a beta version of OS4
if possible before Christmas
- the Onboard Graphic-chip of the Micro-A1 is still not certain but probably it will
become a low-cost Radeon Chip
- the "High-Tech" interfaces (RAID, Gigabit Ethernet, USB2, Firewire) will be implemented
at the Micro-A1 probably on a seperate, optional platine. Because of that the board will become
cheaper for customers.
- Waiting peroid when ordering an AmigaOne motherboard: ca. two weeks
(Complete system: Four weeks)
- Until now there have been two problems refered to the DMA at the AmigaOne: The first
is caused by VIA bug and has been fixed with the help of a software patch.
The second problem is that the ArticiaS enables the simultaneous access of CPU and a
of a PCI busmaster to the memory. In the x86-world this is not usual because of that the
(of Linux-x86 ported) Linux drivers may not manage this. This oddity of the ArticiaS is supposed
to be a included "turbo" which makes the computer "smarter". AmigaOS4 is not affected by
these two problems
- Exactly fitting boxes are not possible because of the costs but Eyetech works with
Naya Design on some modifications which change the standard boxes to Amiga boxes in a
cheap way.
- Single-CPU-modules with faster G3/G4-processors already exists and have been presented
officially, too. But there must be ca. 400 preorders to enable such a product.
Because of that only dual-cpu modules has planned.
- The AmigaOne in Micro-ATX format has planned only for the end of the next year.
