New-Look SEAL Website
South Essex Amiga Link, the UK Amiga user group well known for SEAL-O-RAMA and
Clubbed magazine, has uploaded their totally re-designed website. We hope the new
site looks cleaner, is easier to navigate and faster to load.
But... the update is more than just a new look, the site now concentrates more
on the Club's activities. You'll find an illustrated report of every meeting in
the Club/Reports section and we'll soon be adding examples of members' work in
the Gallery section.
From now on the SEAL website will be updated at least every fortnight. So visit
us at http://www.seal-amiga.co.uk and let us know what you think!

discussed very much.

PCWELT: Amiga is back!
PCWELT reports positively about the Amiga One. Look at the article under title link. (German)
There is a report about Amiga at I.T., too:
Amiga OS to run in household electronics
«The OS by Amiga runs on TV set-top-boxes, portable devices and game consoles. They also report about
an already signed contract on a DSL TV set-top-box and eleven several arrangements.
In the video-text of the ZDF (German TV-station) the following message was released:
New Amiga-models from summer 2001:
After more than six years the software producer Amiga has announced new desktops and workstations for summer
2001. This is about a special hardware-specification. Besides this Amiga is going to support portable
devices like Handhelds and Personal Digital Assistants (PDA). The new computer shall have at least 64 MB RAM,
a graphics board by Matrox, and a sound system by Creative Labs.»
T-Online (German internet provider) also reports:
«AmigaOne will come next summer (German)
New PC follows the trend.
Amiga wants to come out grand again. Over six years devotees had to wait. After the announcement of a
platform independent Amiga operating system the corresponding hardware now is supposed to appear, too.»
The non-Amiga medias collective are strongly interested. We have listed
all these and even more articles in chronological order in the category extern articles.

YAM goes OpenSource
In the YAM News Letter No. 9, Marcel Beck announced that he will discontinue development
of YAM. Reasons are lack of time and a shift of interest.
He will release a final version of "his" YAM, containing some small bugfixes. Afterwards
he will release the source code of this version on the
YAM website. E-mail support for YAM up to version 2.2 will
be continued.
If there will be new versions of YAM for AmigaOS or other operating systems, Marcel Beck
will offer them for download on the YAM website. YAM is an email client for Amiga computers,
enabling the user to edit, send, recieve and manage e-mails. Currently YAM is available in
version 2.1 dating 2000-06-19. YAM is freeware.

NetBSD-1.5 BETA Amiga test version
NetBSD is a free, easily portable UNIX-alike operating system, which, aside from many
other platforms, also exists in an Amiga version.
A new test version of NetBSD-1.5 for 68k Amigas is available at the FTP server
ftp.netbsd.org in the directory /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5_BETA/amiga.
Minimum requirements:
- CPU: M68020 + MMU M68851, optionally FPU M68881/2, or
- CPU: M68030, optionally FPU M68881/2, or
- CPU: M68040 or M68060
- RAM: 8 MB Fastmem (A3000/A4000: not Zorro II)
- a M68LC040 or M68040V-CPU might possibly work too, but this has not been tested
yet
- M68000, M68010, M68EC030 CPUs do not suffice
- further requirements (drive controllers etc.) are described in the relevant locations
in the installation documentation
WARNING: 1.5 requires a major reinstallation. Moreover, 1.5_BETA is
a test version. If you need bugfixes and a minimum downtime, you should install NetBSD-1.4.3
when it becomes available.
Test reports, in English where possible, should be send to the mailinglist
port-amiga@netbsd.org. Instructions for
subscribing to this mailinglist can be requested from majordomo@netbsd.org.

Furthermore Amiga will make 10% of the firm available for investments by Amiga-users.
Attention: Whether Amiga Inc. nor any other person did check this article.

New Executive Update by Bill McEwen
A new Executive Update by Bill Mc Ewen is online. The EU is about the exhibition
in Melbourne and the new AmigaOS version 3.9 that will be released before christmas (take a look at the first Screenshot).
October 21, 2000 - Executive Update
Dear Amiga Family:
I am writing this as I fly back from a wonderful two days at the ACE 2000
Amiga show in Melbourne, Australia. It was indeed a great delight and
pleasure to meet with all the wonderful members of the Amiga Family Down
Under, and I already look forward to my next opportunity to visit
Australia.
I especially want to thank all the dealers, developers and end users who
attended the seminars and the hundreds of you who joined for the banquet
dinner. Amiga truly is a global family, and too much of an unknown
phenomena. It is the Amiga Family who has kept this amazing system alive
and growing.
I would like to take a moment to recognize the efforts of two people who
especially made my stay in Australia an enjoyable and educational
experience. Jeff Rose, of Unitech, the d'Amiga distributor for Australia,
and Basil Flinter the Secretary of the Amiga Down Under Group or ADUG. I
want to thank them both for taking the extra time to help me truly
understand what Australia and New Zealand mean to Amiga, and what Amiga
can do to help our its Family Down Under. I can certainly say that on my
next trip I will take the time to also visit New Zealand and say hello in
person.
Upcoming Products
There are many exciting things happening with Amiga and I wanted to tell
the entire Amiga community what the attendees of ACE 2000 learned at the
show.
Amiga will release an upgrade for the Classic AmigaOS! Version 3.9 of the
AmigaOS will be shipped and ready for the 2000 holiday
season. AmigaOS 3.9 is being developed in concert with Haage and Partner
GmbH. A new website devoted specifically to OS3.9 will be online shortly
and it will include an OS feature list and other bits of useful
information. OS 3.9 will be made available to classic Amiga users for the
affordable price of under $40.00 US. Watch our main website,
www.amiga.com, for more details of OS 3.9 and its new
website.
Because Amiga is still a Benevolent Dictatorship-and not a democracy or
even a republic-we listen closely to the feedback and input from the
community. Based on this feedback we strive to create products that you
want, need and enjoy.
We are pleased to announce to the community the first in a series of new
hardware that has been designed by Amiga and soon manufactured by Amiga
OEM partners. The first in our AmigaONE series of products are the
AmigaONE PPC 1200, and the AmigaONE PPC 4000 cards from Eyetech. These
products will become available to developers in December this year and are
designed to meet the specific needs of the Amiga Community. We have also
announced another partner, bPlan GmbH, who are creating a new AmigaONE PPC
based desktop computer.
More details will emerge shortly about bPlan, Eyetech and the new AmigaONE
products, so visit the AmigaONE web site at www.amiga.com/products/one/pr.php
to stay informed.
I would also like to announce new versions of the Amiga SDK. AmigaSDK
version 1.1 will begin shipping on October 24, 2000. In addition to an
upgrade for the Linux version, we are please to release the Windows
version of the Amiga SDK as well.
There was a mistake in the September 28 Executive Update. As erroneously
printed in the update, the Amiga SDK 1.1 does not include the sound, UI,
or 3D pieces. These will be found in version 1.2, which itself will be
released shortly. I am sorry for the error, but take comfort in the fact
that purchasers of an Amiga SDK receive free updates and upgrades for 12
months from the date of purchase.
Closing
It has been an amazing 10 months since we started Amiga Incorporated. The
community has seen the delivery of the Amiga SDK, an upgrade to the SDK,
an upgrade to the Classic AmigaOS, and now the announcement of three PPC
based AmigaONE products. We still have a long way to go and many more
battles to fight, but I am confident that with the community behind us,
and the enhancements to the product line continuing, there is a long and
exciting future for Amiga.
To the user group members around the world, it is time to start calling
the members who have drifted away and let them know what is happening with
the new Amiga. We want them to know they can again be part of continuing
the legacy that is Amiga.
Again thanks to Greg, and Michael, and the thousands of other Amigans Down
Under who made ACE 2000 such a great event.
Get Boinged!
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team
