OS 3.9 - Presentation by Juergen Haage and Martin Steigerwald
Torsten Dudai did a report about the OS 3.9 presentation on the WoA:
Though there was "US-Amiga-News / Bill McEwen" an item of the agenda, neither Bill McEwen - who
stayed in America - nor Fleecy Moss - who was at the show - were available at that time, so
Juergen Haage had to stand in. In a direct dialogue with the users he tried to collect their
worries and sorrows for Amiga Inc. to be able to estimate the current mood. But the discussion
(due to the lack of facts on the subject AmigaDE) very soon resulted in the new OS 3.9, in which
every attendant of the seminar was very interested. So, Juergen Haage was able to seamlessly led
over to the following seminar.
Besides of individual problems (one elder man was especially "persistent") also much of the known
subjects were addressed, as like as the condition of "50,000" sold copies of OS3.9 (Fleecy Moss), and
the "license quarrel" around AmiTCP. In both cases Juergen Haage was able to quiet the devotees' minds: the number
"50,000" would not be meaningful at all, because it even isn't combined with a date. Later one just
would have to able to estimate if or if not OS 3.9 has been a success. For example only 40,000
(or less) sold copies already would be a big success. About the license quarrel Juergen Haage just
said, "There is no license quarrel". Haage & Partner obtained the license for AmiTCP correctly
and is allowed to distribute the TCP stack along with Genesis (no MUI, but Reaction GUI) on the
CD-ROM.
Then together with Stefan Robl, the programmer of AmiDocks, the new OS3.9 tool-bar, (almost) all of
the features of the new Amiga operating system were presented. During the presentation again ideas,
criticism, and suggestions were given by the viewers. Juergen Haage put an implementation in parts into
prospective for a coming "Boing-Pack 2". But the limits of what can be done are almost reached with
this update. Without a change of the KickROMs not much further can be done, any more.
But about one subject he could not give any clear statement: Amiga DE. Haage & Partner still didn't
decide whether or not they would port their own products to the new system. In parts this depends on the
availability of a sophisticated GUI system, which isn't available at the time being.

Show report by Petra Struck
The World of Amiga 2000 from December, 9th to 10th, which was organized by
Haage & Partner, was branded by the vending start of
the new AMIGA OS3.9, which according to the vendors sold brilliant on the fair.
The show took place inside the really imposing building of Cologne's Mediapark 7 on about 300 m˛ room.
For this show were organized within shortest time this event was attended very well with an amount of
about 1500 visitors (note: own estimation). Seminars were held in the opposite building Mediapark 6. The first
day of the fair Saturday was stamped by active crowd, while on Sunday it was rather unhurried, cause of only half
as full as on the day before.
Before I start describing the highlights of the show I want to put across to every reader that I personally
again liked this fair very much. I'm always exited about the cheerful and personal atmosphere. As already
in Neuss an amazing amount of international attendants had come to the show. I've met and spoken to
people from England, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Belgium, France, and Spain. The visitors had visible
fun and where impressed by the many different presentations. Everywhere crowds of interested viewers got together.
Disappointment only dispersed caused by the fact that Bill McEwen didn't attend the show;
short- termed and insuspendable deadlines kept him from coming to Cologne. Fleecy Moss, Vice President
and Chief of Development, but provided for incredulous astonishment by stating there must be at least
50,000 copies of AMIGA OS3.9 sold, to be able to do OS4.0. As for this time nobody thinks this to be
possible his statement was taken for a clear No for OS4.0.
As already in Neuss amiga-news.de together with the
Amiga-Club im BTX & Internet was present with an
own booth. From our editorial staff were on the fair: Dirk Baeyens,
Tomás J. Cantó, Torsten Dudai, Ruediger Engel, Guido Fehst, Eric Gillé,
Martina Jacobs, Rolf Tingler, and me truly. Nico Barbat was also on the show, but of course was very
busy at his own booth (Falke-Verlag). Rolf inspired the visitor with his
airbrushing skills.
We enjoyed to get in close contact with the readers and numerous dialogues convinced us to have high
acknowledgment for our work, and encouraged us to continue to spend our free time for this project.
Especially intensive and interesting were the dialogues with editors of other news services, as like
Andrea Vallinotto from diff.org (ItalY), Adrian Sweeney from
amigaglobe.com (Irland), Ian Maack from
amiga.dk (Denmark), Sebastian Brylka from
Fun Time World (Germany), and Mark Hinton
and Russell Trent from AmigActive (England).
Along this I would like to say thank you very much for the many kind compliments regarding our news service.
The Amiga-Club provided the people not able to attend the show with actual pictures from the fair, and
cared for trouble-free UGN IRC chats. Traditional the club members answered our questions, and helped
solving one or the other user's problem.
Also this time Michael Schaefer and Dennis Pauler from
Virtual Dimension were busy with their video camera to
create informing show videos. They did many interviews, and over and over made the microphone sure to work,
cause on the last fair the microphone failed completely, which sure was half a disaster.
Trade and the big ones of the branch were present with their own booths - as a matter of fairness this
time in alphabetical order or vice versa:
In talks with the exhibitors it became clear that - almost unisonous - they all came with mixed feelings,
but against what they expected the visitors were joyfully buying. Trade overall voiced positive about
sales.
Almost at all of the above mentioned booths presentations of different software and hardware took
place which I will describe without special order. So for example Peter Hoffmann, Stefan Sommerfeld,
and Juergen Rebensdorf from
Aliendesign introduced their new sound card
'Repulse', which can be used with every Amiga with Zorro-II expansion. The sound card
offers sampling rates from 8 to 48 kHz, including 44.1 kHz and 96 kHz S/P-Diff, and supports
16, 18, 20, and 24 Bit (S/P-DIF) sampling frequence in mono or stereo.
New at individual computers was the ISDN-Surfer Zorro card which was to purchase either with or
without OVP. The announced products 'Lyra' (adapter to use WindowsTM keyborads with Amiga),
and 'Buddha Flash MK2' unfortunately were not finished, but probably will be available before
Christmas.
Dirk Conrad introduced his MAS-Player which is distributed by
Eternity. The MPEG-Player is a small piece of hardware looking like a serial plug. The player can
play MP3 files already on a machine only equipped with a 68000 68k processor. HiFi quality is around
18 Bit / 44 kHz. Since the WoA 2000 AmigaAMP is supported.
At the booth of Hyperion the attendants were able to admire a prototype of the G-Rex PCI board
by DCE with Voodoo3 graphics board on action. With this system
Heretic II really looked smooth, it was fast and the lightning effects were wonderfully visible.
Users can look forward to better speed and nice graphics. The boards are planned to be finished end
of December 2000.
Of course we yet asked for the projects under construction at Hyperion, and summarized the answers as
follows:
- Shogo: Hans-Joerg and Thomas Frieden are working on the Amiga version which presumably will be
finished end of January 2001.
- Freespace: On the port of this space shooter Steffen Haeuser and
Matthias Roslund are working. It is planned to finished 1Q/2001.
- Majesty: Stephan Rusdorf and Thomas Frieden are busy porting this
fantasy strategy game which includes roll game elements. It is expected to be finished 2Q/2001.
- Die Voelker (Alien Nations): Harry Sintonen is working on the port of this popular build-up and
strategy game, which is a big success similar to Siedler.
- SIN: Steffen Haeuser and Peter Annuss are working on the port of the 3D shooter.
The game will presumably be finished 1Q/2001.
- Hyperion will also port the 3D software 'Realsoft 3D' by Realsoft to the
Amiga! With this software comparable to 'Cinema3D' or 'Reflections'
the Amiga users will get a 3D modelling tool more extended and modern than anything else released
before.
Eyetech together with Martin Schueler from
Escena introduce the plans for the AmigaOne
machine. It was shown on diagrams how the system will look like. The 68k emulation is being developed
by Haage & Partner.
At Eternity Tales of Tamar was presented - Martin Wolf's
favourite project. In the meantime the world map and cities have been enabled. Still intense online
tests are running and the beta testers are really sold on the game. Initial bigger beta test are planned
for 2Q/2001.
Also at Eternity EASys!
by Tom Neidhardt was presented. The current update offers improvements like e.g. a built-in start menu,
OS3.9 menu support and alignment. Other changes: the archive manager now supports XPK; the menus are
structured better, and extend of menus is scalable, and moreover the buggy installation of the previous
version has been fixed, hence a trouble-less installation is possible,yet.
Eternity moreover presented a PC (Eternity 1) basing on 1 GHz (Tunderbird processor by AMD), equipped with
gigabyte board, 128 MB DIMM -133, Ge-Force II graphics board 32 MB DD-RAM, Catweazel controller, 52x CD-ROM drive,
20 GB Quantum HD, two PC floppy drives (one of them connected to the Catweasel), as well as a sound card 128 Bit
PCI. The gag of this PC is a perfectly pre-installed UAE under Windows. This way one gets a fast PC, and
an AMIGA at the speed of 68040/60.
During an interview with Andreas Magerl and Georg Breitsprecher from
Amiga Future and APC&TCP
Mr. Magerl stated that financing of the now self-produced print magazine
'Amiga Future' finally is safe. Number of orders still isn't 100% satisfying, but a huge layout enhancement
would attract more orders. I've seen the new layout and I can confirm it to be a difference like night and day. :-)
Andreas Kuessner from WK-Artworks presented
'Taifun', the successor of 'WildFire'. Taifun is being developed for the new
operating system 'Amiga DE' using the Amiga Software Developer Kit (SDK). KDH-Datentechnik
will be distributor of Taifun.
At epic interactive Paul Burkey introduce 'Simon The Sorcerer II'. The game will be at the vendors
form the middle of next week. Also presented was 'Earth 2140', a real-time strategy game has been
ported to the Amiga by Pagan Games on demand of epic interactive. The master volume is on its way to production.
Still under development is Dafel:Bloodline. Status: Thomas Wuergler continues to work on this game, but
when it will be finished cannot be estimated at the time being. 'Converting games' currently has
a higher priority.
The ATC team handed me a disk containing a preview of the reworked classic game
Dynamite. This one will be to play via internet. I promise to have
a look at it soon. :)
My quite personal summary: The AMIGA is anything but dead! There are innovative developments in hardware
and software taking place. There is unfractured engagement and unrestricted attendance to continue. In many
dialogues it got clear that we are facing a future which though is undetermined, it's not hopeless.
Tenor from the exhibitors' commercial point of view was, "Though one is able to make enough money with the
Amiga, one cannot 'line his pockets'". Already from just this solitary point of view I rate this
fair as a success. I had a lot of fun, anyway, and to have been there really pushed on my motivation. :-)
In terms of this....

Woa pictures
The first exhibiton day was gut visited and as could be read in the different
announcements there were interesting presentations of hard- and software all
over the place. As usual we'll supply you with comprehensive information about
all details in our exhibition review.
You can get a first impression through our pictures. Besides the photos by Petra Struck
under the title link Torsten Dudai has also
captured his impressions.

New public beta of AmigaAmp
Just in time for the end of the WoA'2000 there's a new version of AmigaAmp.
Originally Thomas Wenzel had planned to release the final version 2.8 these
days. But there are two features he didn't want to psh back for later releases:
MAS-Player Support
The MAS-Player is an external MPEG-audio-decoder for the parallel port and can be
used with EVERY Amiga. The support in AmigaAmp exists in the form of a new
driver system developed by Paul Qureshi together with Dirk Conrad and Thomas
Wenzel. With the combination AmigaAMP and MAS-Player it is possible to play
MP3-files in full quality even on 68030 Amigas. Dirk himself offers a special
highly optimised software which makes playback of MP3 even on a 68000. The
MAS-Player is distributed by Eternity (Martin Wolf).
Shoutcast Streaming
Shoutcast is a protocol for live broadcastings of radio transmissions via the internet.
>From the today released version on AmigaAMP doesn't need an external program for
receiving such transmissions. The necessary protocol is directly integrated.
The two named features are still in development and don't run 100% stable. For
a first impression it is enough though. The new version of AmigaAMP is
downloadable from www.amigaamp.de.

WOA: Eyetech - AmigaOne/AmigaDE-Roadmap
Together with the partners Escena
(Martin Schueler) and Hyperion Software
(further partners are Haage&Partner (68k-Emulation) and Michael Rock(PCI/AGP-Resource
Libraries and other things)) the company Eyetech has presented their plans
regarding their AmigaOne computer. Fun Time World has released
diagrams
of this presentation.
The AmigaOne 1200 from Eyetech is a PPC-PCI-system plus Amga hardware and
68k-emulation for use with Amiga Classic and AmigaDE software. The PPC system is
based on the project
Brainstormer by Escena.
Via the WestBridge
of the system the A1200, IDE, 1 AGP- and 4 PCI-slots are connected. Via the
NorthBridge the PPC-cpu, the SDRAM, USB and two more PCI-slots. The
PPC
can access the Amiga-system (custom chips, Chip RAM, Amiga I/O).
On starting the system the FlashROM is copied into the SDRAM, then the
68k-emulator respectively the AmigaDE is activated and the Amiga Classic'
booted. The Amiga Classic software now runs on top of the 68k-emulation on the
AmigaOne-board (PPC) and uses the Amiga specific hardware of the integrated
A1200-board.
The emulation only emulates the command set of the 68k-cpu-line but no Amiga
specific hardware like AGA which exists as real hardware. The emulation is
memory intensive and therefore needs a fast memory access. For a step-by-step
adaption of the software 'in-line'-PPC-code is supported.
The following planned schedule is given in the diagrams.
Amiga Classic
- 12/2000: developer system
- 01/2001: Classic OS-drivers
- 01/2001: 680x0-emulator
- 02/2001: system for betatesters
- 1. quarter 2001: finished version of the AmigaOne A1200 for use as extended
Amiga Classic (PPC, PCI/AGP-Slots)
AmigaDE
- 07/2001: AmigaDE for end-users
- 07/2001: AmigaDE graphics, drivers and so on
- 08/2001: AmigaDE port for (every) AmigaOne possible
- 1. quarter 2002: availability of ready-to-use applications especially for
AmigaDE

Open source: Bars&Pipes Pro 2.0
Alfred Faust has released an email of Todor Fay, the former chief programmer of
Blue Ribbon Soundworks Inc., on ANF that is dated 9. December 2000. In this
email Todor Fay announces the release of the source code of Bars&Pipes Pro
V2.0. Besides bugfixes this will make the continued development of the
sequencer possible.
For now Fay is collecting together the source code. For this he needs help from
one or more Amiga developers with an up and running Amiga developer environment.
«I think we can work towards a better solution:
I've gotten clearance to release the source code for
Bars&Pipes to the Amiga community. This means several
things:
1) Known bugs can be fixed.
2) Perhaps y'all can create special hooks for real time
services (timer, midi in and out) in the Amiga code so it
can connect more directly with the services in Windows. It's
pretty amazing that timing works at all, given that it is
running on an emulation of the audio interrupt (kudos to
Brian King!). 'Course that would require changes to WinUAE
to support this.
3) Port Bars&Pipes to Windows. If people want to collaborate
on such a project, I will very gladly provide advice and
assistance.
At this point, I'm collecting together the source code. I
need to work with one or more developers who have Amiga dev
environments up and running to help put this together. We
need to make sure everything is there and compiles
correctly.
Any volunteers?

AmigaDE: James Russell manages Mozilla porting
James Russell is the leader
of the Mozilla-engine-porting for AmigaDE.
Mozilla is the open source browser project
emerged from the Netscape browser.
To begin with Russell has contacted mozdev.org
about the possibility of hosting the necessary infrastructure (webspace, CVS,
mailing list) for the project. It would then become accessible under
mozamiga.mozdev.org.
Everybody who wants to help in porting, give constructive ideas or feedback may
post on the Open Amiga-Mailingliste
or address directly to James Russell.
He is to find on the IRC-channels #mozamiga at irc.mozilla.org
and #developer at irc.whiterose.net.
He suggests to interested people to have a look at the NSPR-Video on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/brownbag.htmlfor now,
which informs in a comprehensive way about the NSPR module. This module presents the
biggest hurdle for the Mozilla-port for AmigaDE.

single chips. The final revision will integrate the AGA into one single chip.
The redesign has been completed and it is ready for build up. It is planned
to make this board with one single AGA chip available for the AmigaActive
magazine for testing purpose end of December.
The distributor network is growing. According to the latest survey there are
currently more than 500 distributors of the BoXer.
Our employment survey also got great and worldwide response. Anit-Gravity is
hoping to be able to contact everyone who replied to talk about possibilities
to enable all of them to take part in developing this system.

Open Source Campaign planning to create a Counsil
The 'Campaign to Open Source the AmigaOS' campaign created by Steve Crietzman
is making efforts to release the AmigaOS sources as open source. In recent times it has
been quiet around this campaign. This was due to the fact that Crietzman had
taken a longer break, because work had gotten to much to handle. Now he regrets
to have been absent for so long without any explanation.
The current plan involves the creation of a transition plan for the Open
Amiga Foundation. Therefore they are looking for participants. Persons
interested in this initiative might contact OpenAmiga@aol.com.
