`15.Dec.2002` MorphOS-News.de	WWW: Privoxy V3.0.0 for MorphOS Jörg Strohmayer has released version 3.0.0 of his MorphOS port of the WWW proxy 'Privoxy'. This is a multiuser proxy with extended filter features to protect your own private sphere, filter Web contents, manage cookies, control access and filter out adverts, banners, pop-ups and other unwanted contents. As this is Jörg Strohmayer's first program for MorphOS/PPC, and he has no developers documentation about MorphOS, and the public MorphOS GCC archives are incomplete (parts of libnix are missing), he is asking to send bug reports directly to him by eMail (joergs+mn@expires-2002-12-31.nexgo.de) and not use the bug tracker at Sourceforge, except if the bug is also present in the AmigaOS/m68k port.

`15.Dec.2002` (ANF)	Hardware: IBMs PowerPC 970 & Mai Logic Northbridges In the December PowerPC newsletter, IBM has announced some news about the PowerPC 970. According to it, the 'Power4' Server CPU's desktop descendant is to come with a vector unit which is compatible to Motorola's PowerPC 74xx's (PowerPC G4) AltiVec unit. Among further features of the up to 1.8 GHz clockable Power PC 970 is the up to 900MHz fast processor interface which facilitates transfer rates of up to 6.4 GByte to the Northbridge. Furthermore, the 64bit PowerPC 970 is said to also execute 32bit applications on the same performance level and in native mode. 32bit operating systems should be able to utilise the full performance of the PowerPC 970 CPU's 32bit mode with only small updates. The first samples should be shipped to developers in the 2nd quarter of 2003. Articia Northbridges: The Articia-Northbridge's next generations are to be shipped to developers in the 1st quarter of 2003 (the 'Articia S' used in AmigaOne and Pegasos has been listed for comparison): Articia S : 133 MHz Prozessorbus, 133 MHz SDRam, 2xAGP, 32-Bit PCI Articia Sa: 166 MHz Prozessorbus, 333 MHz DDR-SDRam, 2xAGP, 64-Bit PCIX Articia P: 166 MHz Prozessorbus, 333 MHz DDR-SDRam, 4xAGP, 64-Bit PCIX (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 15.

`13.Dec.2002` Martin Strojek (ANF)	GOLEM: PPC-mainboard Pegasos available - rival for AmigaOne Under the title link you can find a detailed description of the new PowerPC mainboards Pegasos/AmigaOne. There is also a little comparision of the features of the two mainboards. It follows a short extract from the text: "While Amiga Inc. and its AmigaOne partners concentrate on the forthcoming commercial operating system AmigaOS 4.0 which is supposed to inspire the Amiga platform with new life Thendic-France and bplan deliver its board together with MorphOS and DebianPPC-Linux." You can find the complete article under the title link (in German). (ps) (Translation: dr) [News message: 13. Dec. 2002, 12:36] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`12.Dec.2002` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	Test Program MpegMasterPlayer (made with Hollywood) Here comes a test program named MpegMasterPlayer (downloadable under the title link), which was put together with Hollywood. It's really a player built on mpega. Further, I would like to state that this player and a few other programs originated only with this Amiga editor, because the scripting language of Hollywood is very simple. Attention: the archive includes only executables (no script data). Because of this you can't examine the program code. In order to modify the program code, you'll need the complete Hollywood pack. Additionally the three most important libraries are in the archive, and these are needed to run the executables. Because the player currently only supports Amithlon's Soundblaster 128, you won't hear any music on a normal Amiga (so this should be seen as only a demo of what is possible with Hollywood).
