Beta Testers and Developers
Amiga Inc. is looking for beta testers to test AmigaOS
4.0 and AmigaDE third party applications for Amiga
developers. Payment for all beta testers will be one
licensed copy of whatever you test.
Please follow the procedure below:
To be considered, you must point your browser to
http://www.amigadev.net. Look to the right hand menu bar
and click the link that says "Join Amiga Support".
Fill in the form as completely as possible. In the text
block, list any Amiga applications you have beta tested.
Once the form is completely filled in, click "save".
Then, log in to the amigadev site using your new ADxxxx
number that you will receive from filling in the form.
Look to the right hand menu bar under "Legal" and grab a
copy of the Amiga Inc. NDA. Fill in the NDA and fax to
425-396-5660 Attn: Gary or mail to:
Amiga Inc.
Attn: Gary
34935 SE Douglas #210
Snoqualmie, Wa 98065
Amiga Inc. is also requesting all active AmigaOS and
AmigaDE developers to follow the above procedures with
the exception of filling in the form as a "developer"
rather than a "beta tester". Send us a copy of the NDA.
Once a developer has his AD number and NDA in to Amiga
Inc. proper permissions will be set so that you can
reach NDA areas of the web site.
If you have properly installed the AmigaDE SDK you will
already have an AD number.
This one number is good for any and all installations
and testings.
For immediate publication.

Eyetech: Price for AmigaOne not announced, yet
Alan Redhouse of Eyetech has posted to the comments of
ANN a comment about the mentioned price for the
AmigaOne boards. He said that Eyetech did not announce prices for their own
AmigaOne computer, yet. This is also applies to price declarations for
vendors.
The price independently mentioned by 'epic/amigastuff' he thinks to be
for testing purposes to find out about market reactions.
«1. no dealers have yet been announced
2. no pricing has yet been announced to any dealers
3. epic/amigastuff are just guessing to test the market reaction IMO.
4. none of this helps anybody.

ARexx: Selection Script for Miami
Everybody who wants to save money and therefore assigns his online times
to several providers, knows the problem having to call in Miami the cheapest provider
for the time being via "Load settings" every time. Frank Seidel has written a
small ARexx script to simplify this.
If you call the script for example via the Toolmanager Miami is started (if not
already running) and then you can immediately choose via button the wanted settings
file. There are four buttons available:
| Standard | Mon - Sat | Sun + holiday | Choose yourself |
Clicking on ´Choose yourself´ opens a file requester in the Miami
directory, and you can choose the file yourself. After that Miami goes online.
Download: Miami.lha

Microcode Solutions announces PowerPC Hardware
Microcode Solutions announces PowerPC hardware for PC's and new Amigas,
along with Power Macintosh emulation!
Jim Drew from Microcode Solutions wrote on
the 18.05.2001:
Today, Microcode Solutions finalized preparation for the production of
PowerPC hardware to be used in PC compatibles and next generation Amiga
machines.
The hardware will come with software to emulate a Power Macintosh (tm)
computer. More information concerning the emulation will be released in
the near future.
Specifications for the hardware will not be released until the hardware
is ready to ship. However, we can say that the hardware will have some
astounding features designed around simplifying 3rd party development,
including emulation technology.
Microcode Solutions will be offering free developer hardware to
qualified companies and 3rd party developers (including
freeware/shareware). Microcode Solutions will also be releasing a
complete SDK for the hardware to the public, and provide technical
support to anyone interested in developing software for this hardware.

REBOL: Skript-Library on Desktop
The script library of REBOL.com can now be accessed from
the View desktop. With the help of its library drawer, upload and
updating of scripts is also possible.
Currently, the library is at beta 1 status. For future versions,
there are ideas like a browser for better viewing of the library,
a history icon which informs about changes and an additional field
in the REBOL header which states in which environment (CGI, REBOL/View, ...)
the script works and whether it produces output which is for example
not the case with includes that merely import functions.
