`12.Jan.2004` Guido Mersmann (ANF)	ArakAttack USB Driver V0.95 Beta available for testing Guido Mersmann just uploaded a new beta version of ArakAttack which is available for downloading (268 KB). This version contains many rewritten parts, so Mersmann deceided to upload a beta for testing. It's running as good as the prior version on the developer system. If less devices (of course also more) are working or you get other problems, then please send a message to the developer. This version needs half as much memory, less CPU time and should work a little faster. Special Note for users of G-Rex/Pegasos: The chance that ArakAttack is working on G-Rex increased a lot. On the bad side openpci still does not contain a pci address calculation function, with forced Mersmann to write a work around (again). This time the work around is less compatible and may not work. If V0.95 is not working on Pegasos anymore, then keep the 0.94 until there is an openpci update. (nba) (Translation: nba) [News message: 12.

`10.Jan.2004` Henrik Mikael Kristensen (E-Mail)	AWeb: Overview page of the features in development Our new Work Overview page will help us getting more structure in future development of AWeb. It's Bugzilla with a friendlier face. :-) http://hmk.naff.dk/overview.php (this link may change) In other news, the GCC conversion of AWeb APL Lite is progressing very well, as the first tests shows a fairly stable internal release of the full program. All parts have been converted now, which means in theory, it should be possible to create a native AmigaOS4 version. If anyone wants to do that, contact us. Hopefully we can get a beta out soon, and work towards a 3.5 release. Regards, AWeb Development Team (snx) [News message: 10.

`09.Jan.2004` IOSPIRIT (ANF)	IOSPIRIT: Medusa USB Bundle available IOSPIRIT announces the immediate availability of Medusa USB, a driver package enabling the use of OnBoard- and PCI-USB-controllers under Amithlon and other supported PCI-solutions. Medusa USB contains full versions of the USB-stack Poseidon, the PCI-USB-driver ArakAttack and special full versions of the IOUSB DigiCam and IOUSB Scanner packages. Medusa USB enables users of Amithlon and other supported hardware, to completly avoid the purchase and installation of additional USB-hardware and instead make use of already existant OnBoard-controllers, thereby saving precious PCI-slots. About Poseidon The Poseidon USB Stack is a software solution that unleashes the possibilities of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and the devices with USB interface. It is intended to be a solution for all systems. Poseidon has a modular design that fits into the AmigaOS environment very neatly. It is no port of an existing system (like the Linux USB stack), but has been created with the unique features of AmigaOS in mind that make the operation system so efficient. Already in 2002 Poseidon received the Amiga Award as best Amiga software. About ArakAttack ArakAttack is a USB driver-package for Poseidon, with which USB shall be made possible on every PCI-capable AmigaOS. The supported standards currently include UHCI and OHCI. Nearly every PCI-USB-board or USB-OnBoard controller are compatible with one of these standards. A list of already tested devices can be found in the respective subpages of the Medusa USB product pages. About IOUSB Scanner and DigiCam Package As a bonus, the IOUSB packages, which for the first time allow the use of USB-scanners and -digicams, are contained in special SE-versions (equal to the full versions in functionality). However, since it's a free bonus and testing with all possible hardware combinations was impossible, these SE-versions come without support and functional guarantee. Compatibility ArakAttack usually should work with every OnBoard- and PCI-controller supported by PowerPCI (Amithlon) and OpenPCI. Nonetheless, it is possible that in certain constellations and especially with PCI-solutions not, not fully or not error-free supported by OpenPCI (Mediator, Prometheus, G-Rex), there can be compatibility problems. It is thus recommended to download the demo versions of Poseidon and ArakAttack and to test it for compatibility with the hardware in use prior to the purchase. Availability Medusa USB is immediately available as download version for 34.99 EUR and as package version (with certificate) for 44.99 EUR. Dealer inquiries desired. (nba) [News message: 09.
