USB-Poseidon: Compatibility list for Poseidon USB devices
Michael Böhmer writes:
After finishing HIGHWAY production, the included USB stack Poseidon
by Chris Hodges has also been frozen for release. As a small orientation guide
for those interested we are able to publish a first, naturally very incomplete
list of USB devices which
are supported by Poseidon in the included version.
For this we have to rely upon the help of the Amiga Community and are
hoping that we will receive lots of responses from HIGHWAY owners regarding
further devices to be included into this compatibility list.

Printers: HP DeskJet 870C driver V40.20 by Peter Hutchison
On May 25th, 2002, Peter Hutchison
has published version 40.20 of his printer driver for the HP DeskJet 800C series. This
version of the driver now supports data compression for faster printouts.
The driver is suited for Workbench 1.3 through 3.1 and the HP DeskJet 800 series -
the notable exception being the 820C, which is a Windows-only printer. In particular the driver runs with 87xC,
88xC and 89xC.
Supported resolutions are from 150 to 600 dpi (colour: up to 600x300 dpi, b/w: up to 600x600 dpi).
Printing systems like TurboPrint or Print Studio should not be used with this driver.
The archive contains binaries for 68000, 68020 and 68040.

Event: Amiga Inside Party from 30.08.2002 to 01.09.2002
We are inviting for the next Amiga Inside, a party by and for Amiga users.
From August 30th to September 1st 2002 there will once more be three days of Fun & Action
in Hirsau. We will supply you with all important information that you
should know about the party on our home page. Should you still have unanswered
questions, don't hesitate to mail us.
The Amiga Inside doesn't think of itself as a pure LAN party where we sit
in front of the computers for days on end playing one game after another.
Mostly it is more trivial things that engage us there. Be it smaller problems,
re-installations up to complete building/rebuilding of a computer, exchange
of experience, workshops, presentations and of course talk amongst the
users themselves. Naturally, Network games must not be missing at our place.
You can view a few impressions of our first Amiga Inside in the archive on our home page.
Invited are all Amiga users and those interested from Germany and also beyond.

Petition: AmigaOS distribution policies and PPC hardware
PetitionOnline.com are hosting a petition aimed at Amiga Inc. to persuade them to move away from their presented distribution plans for AmigaOS4 based on compulsory licensing and compulsory OS/hardware bundling.
This is NOT originated in or aimed at any imaginary "camp". Its purpose is to help AmigaOS and POP/PPC hardware, regardless of manufacturer/distributor, to gain momentum with sane business practises and to remove obstacles against this based on unfounded technologically irrelevant restrictions imposed on third-party hardware designers and distributors. Zealots of either "side" are encouraged to leave the "Comments" field empty... (sd)

AmigaOne: First photo's from Leeuwarden (Update)
We did not expected it anymore but Computer City did a great job to show
us the first AmigaONE 1.0a board in action at 15.00. There wasn't
enough time to install a hard drive with Linux, as the board was Friday
evening still in England, so at the moment you can only see the
Openfirmware screen.
Enjoy the pictures at the title link.
Update 26.05.2002:
Update: According to Ole-Egil Hvitmyren, this board is not the final
costumer version, but also not pre AmigaOne Board that Eyetech has shown
before. This board is one of the 5 boards that are shipped to Computer
City and 4 other people who accepted. The final boards will have 1 thing
different from this AmigaOne 1.0a board...

Update to the AmiMPC In Car MP3 Player Web Site
I made some updates to my in-car MP3 player web site, with details of
a new head-unit I made. It looks much better than the old one, almost
'factory' (i.e. and original part of the car). It also has a new digital
potentiometer based volume control which is much better than the old one
(no more skipping). (ps)

Hint: Restoring of unreadable disks
Author: Günther Klug Frh. v. Biedermann
Preliminary remark:
I had some problems with the hd-floppy-drive in my A4000. Write errors were reported when copying/deleting on/of hd-disks. The attempts to format this disk also failed with the following message:
"DF0 unreadable" or "no valid disk in drive DF0" and so on.
I asked on the #AC-forum for help and I was said to clean the drive. I did it and the drive worked again.
But I could not format the "damaged" hd-disks.
But I did not want to give up and I therefore tryed to format them with "OFS" (488 bytes/block)...
...and it worked!
But because this does not work with WB3.1 and menu "pictprogram/format..." I did it over the SHELL with:
SYS:System/format DRIVE DF0: NAME Empty OFS NOINTL NODIRCACHE NOICONS
Yes and then I formatted it back to FFS - now also with the WB-menu or with
SYS:System/format DRIVE DF0: NAME Empty FFS NOINTL NODIRCACHE NOICONS
And look, I could format it with FFS!!
I guess that you could not restore every damaged disk but I think it is worth trying it!
