`12.Feb.2003` AMIGAplus	Debian joines Desktop Linux Consortium The Debian project is one of the founders of the Desktop Linux Consortium (DLC), which has been founded recently and is registered as an organization for the benefit of the public. A current poll at DesktopLinux.com shows that Debian is one of the favorite GNU/Linux distributions for the desktop. The internal project Debian Desktop is an example of our contineous efforts to empower Debian for the Desktop. The Desktop Linux Consortium is a manufacturer neutral assossiation of comercial and organizations from the open source background which develops desktop technologies for GNU\Linux. The assossiation will assist to improve the future of GNU/Linux at the desktop and focuses at users of firms, institutions and home users. Debian Linux PPC will work as well on the PowerPC systems Pegasos and AmigaOne. (nba) (Translation: ub) [News message: 12.

`12.Feb.2003`	Mai Logic Inc. earns "Ready for IBM Technology" Validation FREMONT, CA. February 10, 2003. Mai Logic Incorporated, a technology design house of integrated circuits/systems, announced today that it has achieved "Ready For IBM Technology" validation for its Articia S system controller and Teron CX and Teron PX evaluation system boards for IBM's 750CXe and 750FX PowerPCTM processors based applications. "MAI Logic has successfully developed optimized supporting devices and reference designs for PowerPCTM microprocessor application platforms which have passed a rigorous PowerPCTM compatibility validation testing process by IBM Microelectronics labs," said Lisa Su, Director of PowerPCTM and emerging products, IBM Microelectronics. "Solutions like MAI's 'Ready for IBM Technology' chipset and evaluation systems give developers more ways to enhance their applications, resulting in improved time to market, more cost effective designs, and improved performance products by our OEM customers." "We at MAI are very excited about this latest achievement," said Jason Hou, CEO of Mai Logic, Inc. "We will continue working closely with IBM to better our product designs and development following IBM's PowerPCTM processor roadmap. By leveraging the strong ties we have with our manufacturing partners in Taiwan and the close relationship with the leading developers worldwide, MAI intends to deliver the most cost-effective, highest-quality PowerPCTM offerings to the traditional PowerPCTM market place and expanding it into new applications presently not in the PowerPCTM application domain. This validation will further enable IBM's and MAI's customers to accelerated time to market coupled with significantly reduced resource deployment and management costs." Articia S Articia S is the first in the Articia family of chipsets designed with the revolutionary "Bus-Centric" methodology to achieve a more balanced and efficient architecture serving both CPU and peripheral bus requirements. Articia S can support single- or dual-processors at 133MHz CPU bus speed. It is also the first commercialized system controller to provide AGP support for RISC processor based systems. Next-generation Articia Sa and Articia P will soon be available. For product details, please visit: http://www.mai.com. Teron Teron CX and Teron PX evaluation systems are generic ATX motherboards built with PowerPCTM processors. The former is the first PowerPCTM processor based board with enhanced AGP option and the latter equipped with a 300-pin MegArray connector, provides easy configuration to a range of development platforms driven by single-processor and dual-processor CPU module cards (including the latest PowerPCTM 750FX processor). The "Ready for IBM Technology" program is developed to help OEMs identify hardware or software of IBM Business Partners that have received validation with IBM's products. Eligible participants must complete the validation process to obtain the approval and use of the "Ready for IBM Technology emblem as well as to further distinguish their product listings in the IBM Global Solutions Directory. For more information, please go to: http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/products/wired/alliances/rfit.html. Mai Logic Incorporated, A Technology Power House With 52 invention patents granted, 100 more pending in the fields of IC design, security, and system engineering, Mai Logic proves itself again and again to be a technology power house. Mai Logic's innovations in chipset solutions include: Intelligent Memory (iMemory), which enables the industry's first to run in-field DRAM fault detection and real-time fault recovery without the need of a system reboot; Control Pipeline allowing flexible timing on various system clocks and low power consumption; Genetic Computing for high-level security and privacy; and Floating Buffer to achieve a true concurrent system. Mai Logic's major products include system ICs and modules for PowerPC compatible systems, system ICs for wireless applications, System-on-A-Package (SOP), and revolutionarily re-configurable ICs with patented Genetic Computing technology.
