`10.Mar.2003` Glames (E-Mail)	AmigaDE-Game: First Screenshots of 'Word Me Up' Under the title link you can find first screenshots of the Amiga-DE-game 'Word Me Up'. The game belonges to the category Arcade/Memory/Reflection. The side is also available in French. (ps) (Translation: sk) [News message: 10.

`09.Mar.2003` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	Voltmeter software completed I herewith announce that the software for my voltmeter hardware has been completed. This should be able to run on all A1200s and A4000s. However, it would have to be adapted for A500 and A600. This is because the software uses the 32bit width of the address data. Theoretically the software should run under AmigaOS V2.1 - 3.9, however it has not been tested under version 2.1. The program archive now also contains the circuit diagram for self-assembly. This has been integrated in a PDF file which furthermore contains descriptions of the ARexx programs. Only experienced hobby electronic technicians should deal with this (chips are susceptible against static electricity!). You can get all parts at Conrad Electronic or any well-assorted electronics shop. Software: The archive now contains several ARexx programs with which you can read out the data from the voltmeter. Among those are also an oscilloscope program and a program using the system's Pipe:. Unfortunately I can't write a program reading out the data from the pipe as fast as they are written into it. Furthermore there are a bus initialization and a zero correction program. The most important program is the main program, "Voltmeter". There you can mainly do voltage metering in realtime. The second important function is the sampling of voltage data. This means that in 1 second about 280 measurings are performed. These are displayed immediately afterwards in a lister. Thereby they are converted into volts with a precision of 3 decimal places. This list of voltage data can be saved, if you want, to be used in another program. The same can be done with the metered value of the single measurement. An important highlight are the four diagram functions in the voltmeter program. After the listing of the metered values in the lister you can view them again in one of the four diagram modes in individual windows. These are: dot diagram, line diagram, P-grid diagram, and L-grid diagram. The L-grid diagram is the most exact diagram of all as you can read out the voltage down to 0.1 volts and the time down to a few milliseconds. It has to be said that point diagram and P-grid diagram show time in samples whereas the two line grid diagrams show it in seconds. Incidentally there can be only 1000 samples taken as a maximum. This means about 3.5 - 4 seconds of measuring. Download: Voltmeter.lzx (ps) (Translation: cb) [News message: 09. Mar. 2003, 02:21] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`08.Mar.2003` Christoph Gutjahr (ANF)	Internet browser: Mozilla for AmigaOS? In a thread on Amiga.org explains Dave "DaveP" Pitcher that he had already run a Mozilla port under AmigaOS 3.9 - more than one year ago. Dave had looked for people who were willing to take over the following work. As nobody registered he had ceased the work. The state of the port is described by Dave like this: "It is slow, contains errors (it's based on an early Mozilla code base) and it needs a lot of finetuning before it will be something I could be proud of". Dave says that he'll restart the work on the port as soon as his other projects (his part of work on OS4 and his website amigabooks.org) leave him enough time and if he gets enough feedback).

`08.Mar.2003` Christoph Gutjahr (ANF)	Further AmigaOne/Pegasos benchmarks On Pekka Nissinen's benchmark site are further benchmarks available: new added are the results of a Pegasos/G3 with 100 MHz FSB as well as of an AmigaOne-SE with 100 MHz FSB. All benchmarks had been done with the same binary. To people who speak English and are interested in the topic may be the according thread on ANN recommended. The issue is discussed there on a mainly objective basis. Right now there's the question why the Pegasos does much worse in two tests (assignment and LU decomposition) than the AmigaOne, maybe the L2-cache isn't activated on the Pegasos. (nba) Update: Update for Pegasos/AmigaOne benchmarks - In the meanwhile has the site been brought up-to-date. On the Pegasos was indeed the L2-cache deactivated, this error has been fixed and the benchmark results have been updated. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 08.
