Genesi: OpenBSD / participation in Infosecurity 2003
As Genesi announced in a press release the Pegasos OpenBSD version has now been integrated into the official OpenBSD source tree.

The company also stresses the significiance of OpenBSD, for the time being available in version 3.4, for installations that need a high security level and then pointed out the participation of Genesi at the booth of ShopIP Security Solutions at the InfoSecurity 2003 fair in New York from December, 8th to December, 11th. They'll show the Pegasos II running OpenBSD 3.4 there.

Soon would the Pegasos be available configured as a "Crunchbox Pegasos" that could be sold to distributed network clients as "super firewall".

Genesi's OpenBSD Pegasos site can be found under ODC.PegasosPPC.com. (snx) (Translation: wk)

CD-Tools: First publishing of "3CaDo"
"3CaDo" is a collection of CD-tools which contains the following programs:
  • ViCaDo supports you making VideoCDs: With this program you can make (super-) VideoCD images.
  • AiCaDo supports you making AudioCDs: With this program you can make (MP3-) AudioCD images. This program is still under development.
  • DiCaDo supports you making DataCDs: With this program you can make (ISO-) DataCDs. This program is still planned.

Christian Effenberger was not going to publish the sites. But because his Amiga has currently some problems and Christian has not any access to the CD burner the development of 3CaDo is highly questionable.

Because he do not know how long it takes until his computer works fine again he wants to give the Amiga community that part which is already completed. (cg) (Translation: dr)

ArakAttack - USB driver for Amithlon & OpenPCI
The ArakAttack demo version is now available. The demo version is time limited and much slower than the full version.

What is ArakAttack?

ArakAttack is an USB driver paket that allows the usage of USB on any AmigaOS compatible system with PCI slots. ArakAttack isn't an USB stack, it's a driver paket for Chris Hodges great USB Stack Poseidon.

What are the features of ArakAttack?
  • Amithlon optimised version.
  • OpenPCI compatible version.
  • UHCI controller support. (incl. on board)
  • OHCI controller support. (incl. on board)
  • Unlimited number of USB controllers supported at the same time.
  • Unlimited number of parallel USB transfers garantees maximum performance.
  • Only one device with multiple units makes installation very easy.
  • Intelligent transfer descriptor caching mechanism.
  • Several user options allow an optimisation of resource management to the users requirements.
  • Full mem handler support. (Frees resources and caches if the system signals low system memory)
  • No HUB depth limits.
  • Separate time out handling for each USB request garantees the driver never freezes the USB stack or the system.
  • External interrupt fallback for systems with interrupt trouble.

What is also required to use ArakAttack?

The latest version of Chris Hodges' Poseidon USB Stack.

In addition to that other components are required:

Amithlon: powerpci.library - version 2.13 or better.

Amiga PCI / Pegasos: openpci.library - version V1.20 or better.

Which USB Controller is required for ArakAttack?

Most of the current USB controllers are supported. Just take care it's UHCI, OHCI or EHCI compatible. Well, you will have difficulties to find any other within the stores now.

Amithlon user may be happy to hear that on board USB controllers are working, too!

How can I register?

Well, currently the registration makes no sense, because ArakAttack is quite useless without a registered USB Stack.

If you own a Poseidon key feel free to register. Further information can be found in the manual.

PLEASE: Don't bother Chris Hodges with questions about registering Poseidon. He is very busy at the moment, so please keep quiet until the registration site will be up again. (cg) (Translation: cg)
