TV Card Software: Visionary Version 0.15 (Update)
There's a new version of Visionary (v. 0.14) available for download on the Amiga G-Rex homepage. Mainly, a few bugs have been removed.
The Visionary program is a TV service with a modern graphical overlay that allows one to fully utilize the Visual Reality System and modern
TV/Video Cards.
Visionary was designed to be very modular, in order to support a broad range of cards with different chip sets and TV tuners. Support for
documented new cards may be easily implemented.
Update:
Version 0.15 was just made available for download.

FREE Virus Help Team Maillist
When the Virus Help Denmark web was down due to the changing of Internet
providers, we had to close the VHT-Denmark maillist. Now we want to bring
it back to all of you (a lot of people have been asking for it). But Charlene of
the Canadian Virus Help Team, has a maillist, and we don't want to a have two
maillists that writes the same things. So the Virus Help Team maillist will be up
at Charlene's Canadian VHT maillist.
If you join this maillist, you will receive emails about new updates of all the great
Amiga antivirus programs (ect. VirusZ, VirusExecutor, Mill and xvs.library).
You will also receive an email when a new virus or trojan is found. Notices can
only come from list operators, which is Charlene of VHT-Canada or myself
Jan of VHT-Denmark.
You can also see the maillist on-line at this webaddress:
VHT at Yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vht-can/
You can join the maillist at the two Virus Help Team's websites:
VHT Canada : http://vht-can.shadow-realm.org/links.html#world-services
VHT Denmark : http://home4.inet.tele.dk/vht-dk/amiga/maillist.htm
Or you can write an empty email to this email to subscribe to the maillist:

Announcement: Malibu-Plugin for Hollywood
Andreas Falkenhahn:
Airsoft Softwair will soon release the first plugin for Hollywood. The
Malibu plugin extends Hollywood to accept also Scala presentations and
display them. This makes a dream come true for those Amiga users who always
wanted to display their old Scala presentations on Workbench or on an own
Intuition screen in a system friendly way. The Malibu plugin is scheduled
for release in the middle of January 2003 and requires Hollywood 1.0.
Additionally I want to point out that I cannot attend the ARC show in Aachen
unfortunately. Therefore Hollywood is not available for sale there either.

Eyetech Reply to BBRV open post
Under the title link you can read the reaction of
Eytech (the developer of the
AmigaOne board) about the Thendic statement
"...April, Mai and teamwork...". Read the complete statement from Alan also
here:
I'm afraid Buck has exceeded even his usual level of bullshit and innuendo
on this one.
My take on this:
Our announcement of the G4 availability and pricing, and of the (solved)
Articia problem at the WoA SE was not what he expected. Since then we have
been innundated for dealership agreements from ex-Amiga dealers who have
(and their customers have) good memories of the Amiga OS and a growing
hatred of Windows. The polls, such as they, are show that the A1-XE G4 is by
far the most popular PPC platform for the Amiga community and this must also
have been a bit of a shock. (Is it also a coincidence that we've been the
recipients of an intense, targeted virus campaign since then, I wonder?)
Meanwhile Hyperions work on PPCBoot and linux has allowed the Teron
reference boards to get to a level where they can be usefully sold in the
Linux Market. As most on this list will know we have the rights to
distribute these boards in Europe and now Terrasoft do in the US. (We also
have distribution rights on the Teron based designs for the Amiga marker
worldwide). This has knackered Thendics plans for world domination of the
PPC Linux market.
Reading between the lines it seems that they are prepared to drop MorphOS
altogether if they can get their hands on OS4 to at least salvage something.
Buck plans to do this by suing Amiga Inc (for what?) and bribing us to
abandon the AmigaOne and Hyperion to port OS4 to the pegasos hardware .
Sorry, thats not on. You can only have sensible business arrangements with
people who are trustworthy and behave with integrity. There are plenty of
instances (which are inappropriate to reveal here) where these principles
have been completely abandoned on his side.
On their so-called relationship with MAI, we/hyperion have done more to help
MAI get the Teron design to the linux market than ever bplan have, alltough
I don't doubt that Gerald Carda made an important contribution to
identifying the Articia bug - I've every respect for him as a hardware
engineer.
As far as Thendic making their own boards is concerned thats a complete
joke. Its a matter of public record that Thendic-France incorporated as a
one-man company with the minimum 7500 euros of capital. Thendic, like us and
MAI do not actually make anything themselves, manufacture is all
subcontracted. In our case its to a Tiawanese specialist, in Thendic's its
to DCE. Based on our past experience of quality assurance and after sales
service from DCE I personally would never buy any DCE manufactured products
for resale again.
Well you did ask
Alan

Statement from Thendic about April, Mai and teamwork in the Amiga market
Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck of Thendic France sent us an email to gain the attention for an important comment they both posted at the comments of
amiga.org (see title link). For simplicity we repeat the statement which they gave about the collaboration opportunities within the Amiga market:
OK, last word before Aachen Show....
The is no Mai without April. The Articia does not work as promoted. There. We have said it.
Everything that has been promised for the AmigaOne and the Pegasos will not work without
April -- April is *mostly* a "patch." With April the Articia will work as advertised,
without April the Articia will not. Betatesters of the A1 and the "Betatester (Pegasos)"
know that there are difficulties.
In September and October bplan developed the "patch" with Mai. There is no other patch for
the Articia and there was no other assistance from anyone else in creating it. This is why
the Pegasos, A1 and Teron are not available in quantity and why they will not be until the
patch is mounted on the respective PCBs and shipped.
Check out the estimated shipping dates at the YDL site. Do you think they will get anywhere
else sooner? Where is the biggest market? Is it MorphOS and OS4, or is it LinuxPPC? Where
do you think Mai will focus? Not here (MorphOS/OS4)! Our sales commitments for the first
1000 Pegasos went 817 to Linux and the rest to this community (less two for OpenBSD and
two for OpenBeOS).
Mai does not care about this market. They care about the Linux market. They want to sell
the Articia and their board. They make chips and want to sell them. LinuxPPC is a bigger
market for them. That will be their new focus. We are the poor stepchild now. Please
forget all the delusions about the new Amiga or the Pegasos that will re-conquer the world
when the hardware shows up. If we want success this is going to be hard work and a long
haul.
In the meanwhile, you won't have to worry about MorphOS or OS4 being pirated by someone
here now. There is a whole new world of potential users with an OpenSource/Freeware
mentality that is about to consume this market and make it more irrelevant. This is a
post-Napster world.... and Napster was only the beginning. Individual "freedom" has
replaced respect for others. Something is wrong with this picture and it needs to be
fixed, but it will not happen with dongles.
If this community wants a future it needs to start working together. We are spending
plenty of money to make the Pegasos successful, but it is not our final focus. We are
a niche market -- both OS4 and MorphOS. We need unity if we want to be more than a
lingering historical footnote.
The Mai story is not over yet. The first patch is not enough. We figured this out in
November when Mai was scurrying back to Tiawan to make what they thought would be the
final solution. It is not. There are more problems. We finally solved all this a week
and a half ago. Plus, we have added a couple of other features that are better
accomplished in hardware than software (and don't believe a few lines of code will make
the first patch work). If YDL sets off on their current course, they will "crash and
burn" in a month after they finally introduce the product. The Linux market is
unforgiving when it comes to hardware bugs. With all the success they will seem to
achieve their liability will grow correspondingly.
Before you think this is another marketing stunt, here is something new. We know what
Eyetech pays for the Teron/A1; we know what the A1 distributors pay. We would be
willing to match the prices all around less 5% and provide an immediate solution to
the community. We make the Pegasos. Eyetech does not. We have many of the same
distributors. We can compensate Allan Redhouse through his success (something he is
clearly about to loose with YDL Teron pricing). Hyperion too. Oh yes, you want to
buy a G4 A1? Wake up people! Read the disclaimers on the YDL site. Do you understand
what needs to happen before this will? There is a Pegasos G4 now. The question is not
how fast the processor *can* work, the issue is how fast the processor *does* work!
Let's get better organized. We are about to be crushed.
If we pulled eveyone together on this we might even honor those $50 coupons!
This market and community is in complete confusion. There is no leadership or vision
and we need both fast or we can forget it. This is a public statement in good faith
to Eyetech and Hyperion. Allan and Ben are formidible marketing opponents. We can
forget the past if you can. We need to get into the same boat. Amiga Inc. has lost
its leadership mantel. Selling coupons, promoting unachievable concepts and making
wild claims about the next deal have worn tired and false. Fortunately, all have not
blindly followed this route and Hyperion and Eyetech have a solid agreement in place
that protects them in the event of Amiga Inc bankruptcy. And, before you think this
is a "group hug" thing, we have paid our King County, Washigton legal counsel a
retainer. We will commence legal action against Amiga Inc. this month. This is not
some "get legal" BS. This is business and the Amiga Inc. management do not understand
what business is. They "blew it" and we have had enough of their interference in our
future.
The whole Mai/YDL collaboration has changed the situation dramatically. We hope this
statement helps you understand this better.
We will give Hyperion a board. We will support the A1 Betatesters as we have our own.
We don't have to trade sources or get Ralph having a beer with Ben, but we could all
move ahead this way. Eyetech can certify the Pegasos to meet Amiga specifications --
they are positioned to do this. Hyperion and Eyetech can promote OS4. Great. We might
even develop some collaborative efforts quickly. We should.
Things are moving very fast. We have alot to do. Thanks for reading this post and
please think about it carefully. See you in Aachen!
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

Elbox: Spider USB 2.0 working in High-Speed mode
Elbox is pleased to inform that development of the USB EHCI High-Speed
driver for the Spider USB 2.0 card for Mediator busboards has been completed.
The new Spider EHCI driver provides all three USB speeds: High-Speed,
Full-Speed and Low-Speed.
Up to now the EHCI controller (the main part of the Spider USB 2.0
controller) was not activated. The Spider cards worked as two independent
OHCI (USB 1.1) controllers with 5 USB ports. Now you can take advantage
of the EHCI (USB 2.0) and two OHCI (USB 1.1) controllers included in
the Spider board.
The first public demonstration of the Spider USB 2.0 PCI card working
in the Mediator system in the High-Speed (USB 2.0) mode will have place
in the AMIGA+RETRO Computing 2002 show in Aachen on 07 December 2002.
During the show, Spider USB 2.0 PCI cards will be available for purchase,
exclusively at the Vesalia Computer stand. Contact Vesalia before the show
to make sure the Spider USB 2.0 cards will not run out of the show stock
before you have one for yourself.
Spider USB 2.0, the fastest and most advanced USB solution for Amiga
computers, will be presented with various USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices
like USB HDD, USB ZIP, USB CD, USB card reader/writer, USB keyboard
and USB mice. Spider USB 2.0 will be working in the PCI slot of
the Mediator PCI 1200 SX.
All the registered Spider USB 2.0 High-Speed card users will receive the
new Spider EHCI driver as a FREE software update just after the
AMIGA+RETRO Computing 2002 show.

Genesi Press Release about the April® Chip for PegasosPPC
bplan GmbH and Thendic-France SARL
Announce Completion of April® Chip for PegasosPPC
Paris, France - December 3rd, 2002. bplan GmbH and Thendic-France SARL,
both soon to be acquired by Genesi
S.à.r.l. of Luxembourg, are pleased to announce the
development and final certification of the April® chip. The April® chip
adds new functionality to the successful Articia® chipset developed by
Mai Logic Incorporated of Fremont, California. Mai Logic, an
innovative technology design house of integrated circuits/systems,
worked with bplan to develop the first prototype of the April® chip. The
April® chip enables Mai and Genesi licensees to offer PPC based computer
systems that can compete in today's quickly evolving IT environment.
The Pegasos will be the first platform to offer
the April® chip and will be commercially launched at the Amiga+Retro
Computing 2002 in Aachen, Germany 7-8 December.
"We were very pleased to have worked with Mai Logic on this
development," said Gerald Carda, Chief Technology Officer of bplan.
"Through our collaborative efforts, we were able to leverage Mai's
expertise in PowerPC-based chipset/system development and manufacturing
technologies and our own knowledge of system design, architecture and
software to bring the April® development to a successful conclusion.
The Articia® and April® can be used together to promote an exciting
alternative platform for the desktop, portable computer and
sub-notebook marketplace.
The Pegasos incorporates the Articia® and April® chip with either a
PowerPC 750FX processor or a G4 processor, operating at 800 MHz or
higher. A dual CPU module release is planned for 2003. In addition to
the standard enterprise applications and other state-of-the-art
functions to satisfy the most demanding users, the Pegasos platform
will offer many state of the art functions. For example, smart card and
bar code modules have been prepared to work with the platform. A
handheld version of the Pegasos is currently being developed with a
planned release in 2003.
Genesi, Innovation for the Future
MorphOS is also being launched at Amiga+Retro Computing 2002. MorphOS
is a new operating system for PowerPC RISC microprocessors and was
developed for the Pegasos. MorphOS runs on the Pegasos and on the Mai
Logic Teron CX and Teron PX evaluation boards. MorphOS functions on
603e, 604e, 750 and 7400 (Original G4) PowerPC processors. In the
future MorphOS will also run on other Open Firmware based PowerPC
machines. Genesi will also be release an internally developed
CD-bootable version of DebianPPC at Amiga+Retro Computing 2002 for
Linux users. Additionally, a first quarter 2003 Pegasos release of
OpenBSD is expected.
The Pegasos on sale NOW!
The Pegasos can now be purchased through any of the following vendors:
And coming soon to:
- USA http://www.aztekcomputers.com/

ARC 2002 News: New hardware vendor "Creative Development"
The recently founded company Creative Development
will presumably show a
new USB card called Ultrabus for classic Amiga computers at the AMIGA + RETRO COMPUTING 2002
show at the booth of Vesalia. "Ultrabus" has got four USB ports and can
be used in Zorro Amigas as well as on the clockport of an Amiga 1200. In
Zorro mode, a flash memory with 512k capacity can hold the complete USB
stack, so USB devices are available right after a cold boot. This enables
booting from USB storage devices.
