Specifications of the PowerPC mainboard
bplan GmbH releases the specification of the dual G3/G4 microATX mainboard
with codename PEGASOS.
With its PEGASOS development pblan GmbH of Germany brings the unleashed
PowerPC performance to the users.
By using a modular system design, the mainboard could be easily user upgraded
to the individual demands. With todays standard interfaces already designed
onto the PEGASOS mainboard, the users will be able to easily connect standard
components (like harddrives or CD Roms) and a wide range of high-end devices such
as digital video cameras to the system.
While PEGASOS itself is widely scaleable to the users needs, it's a easy task
for retailers or OEMs to configure the system for their demands. By hitting
the best price/performance point for the chosen configuration, systems
starting with one CPU (at entry level) up to multi PPC G4 based cluster computers
could be build using the same hardware.
For technical details follow the title link.

WoA 2000
I was shortly at the fair this morning to take some things there and to
get a first impression. The Mediapark consists of several architectonically
imposing buildings. The fair is held in the building Mediapark 7 (1st floor),
while the seminars are held in the building Mediapark 6 (also 1st floor). The
fair exhibitors are work like beavers on their booths and there's a bustle as in a
beehive.
Supplement:
In a talk with Juergen Haage, I have learned that Fleecy Moss will attend
the fair, too.
If you come by car, here a little tip:
A57 to Cologne-Centre, then follow "Innenstadt" until (very small) signs directing
to the MediaPark appear. The entrance to the underground bypass is directly
after the railway bridge. You drive from there either directly to the building
or down into the underground car park MediaPark. At the "Cinedom", the entrance
to the car park forks to the car park entrance and tunnel bypass. You can also
park in the underground car park Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring. Have a good trip and until
tomorrow :-).
More driving tips.

Scenet opens new areas
Scenet has been founded in 1998 as the first web-portal for the legal computer
demoscene, based on a project back in 1994. It offers a huge collection of
web-links, e-mails and icq-numbers of former and active members of the
demoscene on all platforms, just like Amiga, PC and C64 as well as Atari,
Acorn, Mac, CPC and ZX. Since the end of 1999 Scenet has been enlarged by
a big articles- and interviews-section.
Since December 6th, 2000, Scenet contains an internal and interactive
script-system with news items updated every day.

NetBSD 1.5 is here!
After some weeks ago, the last patch release of the NetBSD 1.4 branch has been
released with NetBSD 1.4.3, some days ago NetBSD 1.5 has also been released.
NetBSD is a complete open source operating system and is shipped with
system administration and user tools, as well as the X window system. New
in 1.5: IP version 6, IPsec, integrated OpenSSL, -SSH and Kerberos.
New for the Amiga architecture and hardware are: improved FPU emulation for
Amigas without FPU, support for media with large sectors for ADOSFS (reading)
and for Linux partitions, SVR4 (AMIX) emulation; drivers for parallel ports
on HyperCOM 3+/4+; a first version of the PCMCIA support; the IDE support can
use the NetBSD code instead of the Amiga-specific solution if the user wishes
(and will be converted in future to this option).
Support for ISDN is available for Master, MasterII, Blaster with the isdn4bsd packet,
and in preparation for ISDN surfer.
System requirements: 8 MB fast mem; 68020+68851 with/without FPU, 68030 with/without FPU,
68040, 68060, Phase5 PowerPC+68k boards in 68k mode (but with SCSI host driver!).
First attempts at a PPC support are available as source.
You can find more information and suppliers at the title link.

FormAldiHyd -- driver for Aldi/Medion/Tevion/Aiptek graphic tablet
Chris Hodges writes:
Here
you'll find a new version of my driver for the graphic tablets by Aldi and Aiptek.
there is a MUI version as well as a CLI version. The day after tomorrow, the new
version 0.9ß should also be available on AmiNet.
The driver is freeware, but it would be nice if I'd get some feedback. Maybe it's also
compatible with Summagraphics, but I couldn't test it.

Besides this there are news of the P96 team:
On Saturday the programmer of Picasso96 probably will be present on the WoA2000. Tobias wrote:
"Hi! Alex and I will probably attend the WoA 2000 in Cologne
on Saturday. If you want to meet us (register Picasso96 or complain about
our greed) just look out for us. The pictures on the Picasso96 home page
should be good enough for that. :-) C ya! :-))" .....click on their pictures

ACSYS canceled
After a last telephone call with programmer it is now official that the development of ACSYS (Turrican-clone)
will be canceled. In our opinion for 86 interested people (result of a opinion poll) it is not
worthy continuing the development.
If the development will be continued by a third person the following applies:
The complete code will be released as open source. Only the engine will be given as an object file.
If a commercial publication is planned percentage share of the profit have to be given to us.
The level has to be negotiated with the developer. If the game is going to be published as freeware
we will waive the financial claims. PD,- shareware or something like that are not allowed.
The level of development is at fifty percent. If there are competent programmers we would continue
working on pictures if desired.
We regret this decision and hope you show understanding of it. If you want to write something
to this topic please mail to the programmer because
I have no influence on it no longer. The homepage will be online during the next time. I will complete
the list of interested people if I will get mails with this content.
For further questions we are at your disposal via eMail:
Code: Joerg Belger
Graphic: Christian Sobotta
