Tool: Identify-Update with AmigaXL-Support
The Identify-package is now available in version 13.0. New is the AmigaXL support.
The library does not only convert Guru- and Zorroboard IDs into a readable format, it
also displays several data about the used system. Added tools like ListExp are very
useful to create bugreports. Identify can be used by Assembler, C, Basic, Pascal, E,
and ARexx and from the Installer.

Tool: MySQL Simple Query Tool MySQT_0.1a
MySQL Simple Query Tool is an utility that will let you to do queries to
a MySQL database with an MUI Gui. MySQT is actually an early alpha version.
That means, it has been programmed like some Kro$oft software and will
only let you to do "SELECT" queries on small tables. Yes, I have not
implemented dynamical memory allocation yet, but this will come.
Before starting MySQT don't forget to edit icon tooltypes to fit your
database access.

Database: MySQT V0.1a
Alpha version 0.1a of the MySQL GUI (MUI) 'MySQT' was released. The 'MySQL Simple Query Tool'
in this early alpha version offers the possibility to make SELECT requests from smaller
tables via GUI. The limitation for smaller tables follows from the fact that this early alpha version
still has no dynamic memory management.
It is required to enter your database's access data to the tooltypes before start.

IRC: An Amiga #channel about the future....
Hello people!
Since there just was advertising for #diehard, I would like to show
an alternative:
At irc.openproject.org there is a young channel (#amiga) that is said to be
about Ami-OpenSource (AmigaDE). For the time being there isn't much up. Some don't
have an Amiga anymore, some are Amiga Inc. employees, some develop similar projects
coming from the Amiga world, some are active for the current Amiga scene or are people like
you and me.
So, who feels like dropping in is heartily invented.
Meta-server: irc.openprojects.net
Channel : #amiga

Eyetech: Information about the AmigaOne
Alan Redhouse, Eyetech, posted some
statements
about the AmigaOne regarding AmigaOS 4.0 and the boot sequence on the
AmigaOne mailing list.
«1. OS4.0 is based on OS3.9 which does need 3.1 ROMs
2. Backwards engineering/testing for OS3.0 compatibility would
add weeks onto the already late OS4.0
3. Of course some of this stuff can be put in flashrom/hard disk but
this would require a hugh effort in retesting/linking bits of code from
various sources adding further to the cost/delay of OS4.0.
4. As I have said several times before on this list the boot sequence
for the A1/OS4.0 is:
PPC boots from flash ROM & initialises A1 main board, including
any A1 graphics and any available A1 board boot devices (HD,
CDROM, SCSI, USB, etc. drivers) PPC loads 68K emulator from flash rom and
executes an emulator reset Emulator executes A1200 boot sequence which
looks round for boot devices (A1200 HD, FD, PCMCIA & A1 HD, CDROM, SCSI,
USB etc) Emulator boots OS4.0 from the highest priority boot device.
5. From OS4.2 the bootstrap loader (& main drivers) will be in the
A1 flash ROM and the 68k emulator will only look on the A1 board for
boot devices (inc USB floppies, CDROM's etc etc)
Hope this helps
Alan" - Eyetech»
