CeBIT 1993 - a milestone, legend 'Amiga'
Under the title link you can find a interesting article of N-TV on CeBIT 1993 which
also contains information about the Amiga (in German).

CeBIT 2003: Report and photos from Ron van Herk
A short summary of some of the things happening here at CeBIT from Ron van Herk
1. We have nearly finalized our agreement with our new Russian Distributor.
MorphOS will have a Russian localisation and will become successful in
Russia. Genesi's André Siegel will work as an 'interface' between the new
distributor and the developers that need to get this done. Russian
programmers interested in assisting this process can receive a fully
configured Pegasos in exchange for their work. In the bigger picture, once
the Russian localisation is done we will have a model to do the same in
other languages and localisations.
2. 3Sat visited Genesi today and shot footage of the Pegasos, the Psylent,
MorphOS, etc. We showed MorphOS working with several apps, games and the
Internet which they all filmed. The editor, Ralph Benz is a long-time Amiga
user and is very enthusiastic! We gave him a bunch of T-Shirts to give to
viewers (or to keep for themselves). Not a bad deal for free TV coverage I'd
say ;-)
Enclosed are two pics, 1 high-res foto of the desktop case and one of me and
Robert Han of Plexuscom with the Psylent.
That's all for now.
Sincerely,
Ron

Zeoneo acquires Candy Factory
Zeoneo Limited is moving into the AmigaOS-market with the acquisition of the exclusive rights to the noted and highly respected graphics application Candy Factory. Zeoneo Ltd. is well-known to the Amiga-community since the release of its killer game "Planet Zed" for AmigaAnywhere (AmigaDE).

Compass Hardware for Amiga (Principle Circuit)
Carsten Siegner has built a principle circuit for a compass. This circuit is unusually sensitive and already detect the north pole
of the Earth's magnetic field.
For the operation here comes a very sensitive KMZ-51 magnetic field sensor. This includes a sensitivity of - 0.2
kA/m to + 0.2kA/m. Built into the chip are magnetic recessive resistances in the form of a Wheatstone bridge. The sensitivity
(uncompensated), relative to measurement setting, carries (16mV/V) /
(kA/m).
Attention: the sensor is circuit broken in an SMD housing and on that account may only be soldered with great
difficulty. The sensor can pick up the electrical field of the computer. So one must compensate for this. One may not
divert a magnetic field greater than 1 kA/m with the sensor, or else the Wheatstone bridge will always keep the exit value.
In order for this not to happen one must use the chip's internal reset coils. The chip ZN424 is unfortunately very difficult to
flush. Unfortunately it is so far the only operation enhancer that can energize the tension variables of the Earth-field
detector. Siegner tested other OPs, but none came close to the strengthening of the ZN424.
Unfortunately the software programming is not as simple a thing as the hardware. The measurement
value fluctuates constantly due to the diverting magnetic fields of the TV or the computer. On account of that one can't
directly recognize the Earth's magnetic field. Of course when one adjusts the circuit slowly then one recognizes that the
measurement value declines further, the more the sensor is turned from the north-south position. Because the sensor
is now polarized, this means that one can differentiate a magnetic field between north and south, and may now recognize
the Earth's magnetic field from the correction measurement value. Only the calculations of the whole thing are going to be
beautifully difficult. Every metallic resistance will cause disturbance to the setting of the measurement values.
