Elbox: Mediator PCI USB drivers for Poseidon stack
Elbox Computer is pleased to announce that its drivers to PCI USB
cards in the Mediator busboard operate under the Poseidon USB stack.
These drivers have been prepared by Elbox programmers as a result
of co-operation started a few weeks ago by Chris Hodges, author of
the Poseidon stack.
As the Poseidon stack is already supported by authors of third-party
commercial software, we have decided that releasing another, our own,
USB stack for Amiga under such circumstances would mean doubling
effort of Amiga programmers.
We are sure that high-quality software included in the Poseidon stack
package and our hardware-optimised drivers resulting in high performance
achieved by PCI USB cards in Mediator will satisfy even the most demanding
users.
The unregistered, time-limited version of the Poseidon USB stack will
be available in the Mediator Multimedia CD. Registration of the Poseidon
stack for Mediator users will be provided by Chris Hodges.
About Poseidon:
The Poseidon USB Stack is a software solution that unleashes the
possibilities of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and the devices with
USB interface, ranging from mice, keyboards, tablets, joysticks, printers,
scanners, webcams, digicams, flash card readers, zip drives, floppy disk
drives, harddisks, memory sticks, ethernet adapters, scanners and audio
adapters to less common things like power supplies, GPS location devices
or finger print readers. It is intended to be a solution for all systems.
For more info about Poseidon stack please visit Chris Hodges' website.
About Mediator:
The Mediator PCI busboard line is designed so as to enable expanding the
Amiga computers with a wide range of standard PCI cards like Graphic cards,
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network cards, Modem cards, ISDN cards, USB and
SCSI cards, Sound cards and Multimedia cards: TV tuner and MPEG-2 hardware
decoders. Expanding the Amiga with the Mediator PCI busboard opens the way
to employing the power of the latest PowerPC G3/G4 processors in Amiga,
around which SharkPPC and SharkPPC+ cards are based. For more info about
Mediator please visit Elbox website.

Thendic France: Post A-Expo Notes
1. Pricing for the Pegasos and Betatester
The Pegasos mainboard with 600 Mhz G3 (which is upgradeable AND scalable)
will be sold to end-users for 560 Euros (no VAT) from Thendic-France or
our Distributors/Resellers. Our prices to Resellers and Distributors are
of course better and are based on volume. They are in business too. We
need to support them and we will.
The G4 upgrade (800Mhz) can be purchased for less than 200 Euros and you
will be able to do this well before the end of the year -- if you want
(see on an earlier thread here for a discussion about this).
You will see basic models of the Pegasos for less than 800 Euros
(including tax and taking all the different country VATs into consideration)
as GGS Data in Sweden is now offering and Vesalia will soon.
2. MorphOS
MorphOS gets better daily and we will delivered Betatester machines 127-133
this week. Betatester machines remain 1000 Euros because of the extras that
come with it - the smart card reader, the wireless camera, and the DataPlay
module - depending on what the individual Betatester is working on.
Betatesters also get successively upgraded (as required/desired) to each
version of the G4 and have FTP access to the latest ROM. The Betatester
becomes the development machine for the eclipsis. The first peripherals
will be distributed in Frankfurt at Betatester II on 12 October.
3. Linux
Further, every version of Linux for the PPC known has been installed and
works fine on the Pegasos. We have been especially amazed by Mac-on-Linux.
Sitting next to a G4 iMac you cannot tell the difference between the
machines while running the same applications.
4. Show/Demonstration Schedule and Updates
a. For the Finnish Amiga Users Group the following individuals will be
present:
- Gerald Carda (bPlan)
- Ralph Schmidt (bPlan)
- Rakesh Raghoebardayal (Thendic)
- Sharwin Raghoebardayal (Thendic)
- Teemu Suikki (Finnish MorphOS Core Developer)
- Harry Sintonen (Finnish MorphOS Core Developer)
We will also have other Finnish Betatesters/Pegasos owners
present.
b. Thendic/bplan will be out in force for the WOA Show in Brentwood,
Essex, UK on 2 November.
c. A Pegasos Show will be held in Lodz, Poland on 16 November. Please
refer to www.pegasos.pl for details as they become available.
d. A Pegasos Show also be held in Moscow. A date has not been set.
You will be able to see information on
www.amiga.org.ru.
If you want to hold a Pegasos show/demo please send us an email.
We will figure out a way to support you. There are Pegasos demos
being planned/scheduled in nearly every weekend until the big show
in Aachen in December.
5. Un grand MERCI!
The A-Expo was extremely well organized. We were very pleased to be
involved. Congratulations to the A-Expo Team! We will have our
pictures from the event posted to www.thendic-france.com shortly.
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

Amiga - Mein Leben - Ask Petro...
Patric Klöter wrote:
For the memoirs of Petro Tyschtschenko is a chapter planned where Amiga fans can ask Petro questions and he will answer them.
I do not think, that there is anybody who does not know who Petro is. But for the ones who never heared of him here a short history of his Amiga curriculum vitae:
"Petro was working since October 1982 at the Commodore Büromaschinen GmbH and has seen the birth of the Amiga in 1985. After the bankruptcy of Commodore 1994 he was chief of Amiga Technologies, a branch of ESCOM, which bought all rights of Commodore and the Amiga in April 1995. As ESCOM also got into bankruptcy 1996 Petro tried everything from the survival of the Amiga and became chief of Amiga International, Inc. after Gateway 2000 bought the rights in 1997. He put himself in to the further development of the AmigaOS, then released in version 3.5. In April 2001 he retired officially from AMIGA Inc.. He has not left for all instances and is taking a boo on Amiga events to talk with Amiga fans who were customers and are now friends."
Now I call the Community to ask Petro interesting questions dealing with his life and the Amiga. Sure there are people who want to know some special things about Petro. Now here is the opportunity for that.
I will create a catalogue of questions for Petro he will answer and it will be a special chapter in the book. This will be unique in an autobiography.
I will administrate these questions I want to make sure you note this: Please send the question to me NOT personally to Petro. The address is mail@commodore-amiga.de.
I will forward the questions to Petro. Please for now only one question per person. I do not know how many question are taken up into the book, so maybe not all question are answered.
Petro has been informed about this event and so this is not a joke.
I thank you in advance for your interest and wait for your questions.
(ps) (Translation: gf)

AmiATLAS 6 Update Info
Gerd Frank writes:
It really lasts a very long time, but now there are some updates to
AmiATLAS 6 available. Sorry for the really long delay, but we had some
strange personal and technical problems over the last months...
A few users already got several of the older update archives some
months ago, others obviously nothing. So now within several eMails
(spreaded over some days to avoid overfilled eMail accounts)
you will receive all the available updates again. But remember, only
for registered users and some selected beta testers with an NDA release!
The distribution will be done in several packed archives in LHA format.
There are normally no installation scripts included, it is enough to
unpack the archives and copy the directories directly into your installation
of AmiATLAS 6. If you are not sure with such procedures, just send an eMail!
You should receive the following updates:
- AmigaAUTO v1.06
- AmigaKONTO v1.06
- AmiATLAS v6.38 (ony an internal but stable release!!!)
- map denmark v6.50
- map benelux v6.50
- map germany_special v6.50
All these maps were done by Manfred Rohde in many many sacrifying hours
of absolutely hard work. Kind regards to him and thank you very much!!!
Possible a new enhanced map for Italy, done by Fabio Miscia, will follow
in the near future too! But again please be patient...
To the programs I can only say these are mainly bug fixed localized
versions,
the main changes and enhancements are done inside and by now are mostly not
visible to the user. This will follow with the updates in the future. So
please don't be disappointed or even expect miracles.
In future releases the following maps won't be supported or enhanced
anymore,
because it needs too much time to do all the work on nearly the same maps
for
one country. It's even possible some maps will only be renamed so don't
panic!
- austria (these three will be joined to one "austria")
- austria_plus (map with highest capacity, choosable with)
- austria_special (the travelguide and a map of europe)
- belgium (included in the new BeNeLux)
- D_CH_A (old stuff...)
- germany (now only "germany_special" is supported,)
- germany_global (same conditions as austria and switzerland)
- germany_small (dito)
- netherlands (included in the new BeNeLux)
- switzerland (these three will be joined to one "switzerland")
- switzerland_special (map with highest capacity, choosable with)
- switzerland_standard (the travelguide and a map of europe)
What we will do with the maps in "germany_prof" was still not decided
finally.
Within the travel guides and hotel guides are very extensive changes in
progress,
but because of the amount of data of course it needs some more time.
In the future you can use a database as known from similar products on other
systems. Btw AmigaGuide files wont be used so extensive in the future as it
is currently done, but you will get powerful possibilities e.g. for
searching.
By request you can get the actual beta release and have some fun...
The tools AmiAVON and AmigaPLZ should follow soon (I hope so!). The problem
is I have to recode these tools now already four times because of technical
problems with the old hardware.
And don't forget:
Anybody who had already done own enhancements on towns, streets or other
things, surely knows about the long time to wait for new updates. In most
cases this is really underestimated.
Last not least a request to all users:
The whole project AmiATLAS lives from the contributions of its users.
A short eMail with new ideas or bug reports would be really great and
of course very useful for future releases of this product! Thank you!!!
I would note this because from hundreds of users there are only about ten
enthusiastic guys with ideas and bug reports from time to time, what
I think is very a pity.
Best regards,
Gerd Frank
AmiATLAS Development Team

Meeting: Amiga Inside Part II
Matthias M. reports: Amiga Inside - Part II is finished and we would like to thank all the visitors and our sponsors. It was once again a very successful party, even if the number of Amigas has declined. On all three days we tinkered, screwed, socketed and explained.
The use of projectors was a complete success. Many films were shown and so the nights passed without much sleep. Steffen Häuser of Hyperion came and showed us the current version of Quake 2, and it made a very good impression in terms of playability and stability, and the networking functions were able to be extensively tested. The weather also cooperated and we were able to have a barbecue on Sunday evening.
A few pictures have been uploaded to the homepage, and more will follow. I hope we all get to do it again next year! -greetings, Matthias

Interview with Thomas Frieden: OS4 questions and answers
Korodny writes: A few weeks ago, the amiga-news.de community collected a bunch of questions related to OS4 and forwarded them to Thomas Frieden, in the hope that he may answer some of them.
Guess what? Not only did he answer all of them, he even answered them in English, for you poor souls outside of Germany ;-). The interview in German.
1. ExecSG, 68k-Emulator, WarpUP
Amiga-News: Please describe the Memory-Protection implementation and how this works with pre-OS4 software?
Thomas Frieden: Free memory will always be protected against reading or
writing. Some critical memory areas, like the base page
(address 0) will also be protected, to allow software
to find NULL pointer bugs (which is an extremely common
form of bugs).
Old software (68k programs that are emulated, and old
PPC software) will run in a different MMU setup. This
will not protect anything else but the stuff mentioned
above, so even if the program behaves badly, it will be
allowed to do so.
New software, OTOH, will have to be written in such a
way that memory protection will work. Initially, the
protection will be minimal (see above), but with later
revisions, we're moving to completely isolated address
spaces.
Exec SG already provides for this possibility.
Amiga-News: How is Virtual Memory implemented? What has been changed in the implementation compared to your original
plans?
Thomas Frieden: The original concept was similar to VMM, i.e. a
partition mapped into memory, leaving the original
memory system untouched. However, the new plan is to
include a virtual addressing scheme at the core. This
will allow lots of additional features such a different
memory allocation schemes, automatic stack elargement
etc.
Amiga-News: I don't like Virtual Memory, can I disable it?
Thomas Frieden: You can turn of swapping of memory to disk, yes.
However, there's actually no need to do that. It seems
a lot of people are judging virtual memory by it's
implementation in Windows. Windows uses it's swapping
feature even though there's physical memory available.
OS4 will not do that. Even if you have swapping turned
on, you will not notice it if enough memory is
available. However, when you would normally get a
requester telling you that you ran out of memory, the
pager will kick in and free some memory. That's all. As
long as you do not use enormous amounts of memory, the
pager will not become active, and no swapping will
occur.
Amiga-News: Are there up-to-date Benchmarks from Petunia (68k emulator)?
Thomas Frieden: You will have to check that out on the authors website...
Amiga-News: Is Petunia completed now (all CPU commands, FPU, MMU emulation)?
Thomas Frieden: FPU emulation is being finalised right now. MMU
emulation is not planned and is really of quite limited
interest.
Amiga-News: Is Petunia already integrated with Exec SG?
Thomas Frieden: No, not yet. The integration of emulation into OS4 is
one of the reason why we are going for a virtual
addressing scheme.
The emulation integration concept is already designed
by an expert in the field and is about to be
implemented.
Amiga-News: When will there be a new scheduler (as already announced)?
Thomas Frieden: Hmm, I don't think this was announced.
ExecSG uses the same scheduling scheme as the old Exec,
that's a prioritized round-robin scheme. It's one of
the most efficient schedulers, and most of all, it
allows near-realtime behavior. This near-realtime
behavior is a critical point in the whole Amiga design:
it ensures the responsiveness that we all like about
the Amiga. Other schedulers have been available for the
Amiga in the past, but while for example 'nice' type
scheduling is suited for applications, it isn't suited
for drivers.
What we *will* add in future version is real threading:
Right now, the only possibility for threads is to use
multiple tasks, but this limits the usability
(especially since an application consisting of 30 tasks
will receive a lot more time compared to an application
consisting of just one task).
Amiga-News: When will the GCC cross compiler be available for 68k Amigas (as a Linux cross compiler already exists)?
Thomas Frieden: We're currently working on that, with low priority,
though. The compiler is also not available publically,
because we want to be able to change certain aspects of
the ABI on short notice yet.
Amiga-News: Will there be "Gurus" again?
Thomas Frieden: Probably.
Amiga-News: How much faster will existing PPC applications be under OS4?
Thomas Frieden: We don't have numbers yet but the PPC is already a lot
faster when the 68k CPU is turned off. Context-switches
will also be substantially faster.
Considering the fact that key components of the OS will
be PPC native, we can expect a nice performance gain.
Amiga-News: Will games like WipeOut 2097 or Heretic II run under OS4?
Thomas Frieden: We want to have full WarpUp compatibility, so
theoretically, they should work. It has to be tested,
though.
Hyperion will remaster all of its titles for OS 4 for
superior performance.
Amiga-News: In theory, it should be possible to catch direct access to custom chips registers and emulate
the custom chips using UAE code, right?
Thomas Frieden: In theory, yes. However, it's doubtful that this is
actually something that would be beneficial. UAE will
do a good job emulating old stuff, and with UAE, you'll
have full control over the environment, i.e. the CPU
used. As most programs that directly access the chipset
are unlikely to work reliably in an environment so
completely different from old Amigas, I'd say that UAE
is by far the better solution.
Amiga-News: Will there be something like "PuhDerBaer" für OS4?
Thomas Frieden: Uh, WTF is PuhDerBaer?
2. Boot process, File systems, AmigaOne BIOS
Amiga-News: Will the annoying "Disk not validated"-Problem be cured with the new implementation of FFS?
Thomas Frieden: No.
Amiga-News: Can I press both mouse buttons to enter the early startup menu?
Thomas Frieden: Yes.
Amiga-News: What will be in the early startup menu?
Thomas Frieden: It will remain the same for now, maybe some additional
options (for selecting the kernel configuration...)
Amiga-News: Early startup menu is in no way related to the motherboard BIOS, correct?
Thomas Frieden: Yes.
Amiga-News: What about filesystems? Can I connect my Classic Amiga HD to the A1 and access the contents? Will we
still have an RDB or will we get that "trendy" MBR?
Thomas Frieden: The disk format will not change. Definitely no MBR.
Amiga-News: Will it be possible to boot from external sources?
Thomas Frieden: This might be possible, but is not planned right now.
Amiga-News: What will be the boot time?
Thomas Frieden: Similar to what it is now, hopefully faster.
Amiga-News: What will be the floppy disk format? Will the AmigaOne be able to read my 880k Amiga disks?
Thomas Frieden: No, that's a limitation of the floppy controller used
in the A1. The Amiga has much more control over it's
floppy, which is not available in non-custom
controllers.
Amiga-News: Will OS4 automatically recognise if a floppy disk gets inserted?
Thomas Frieden: As this is not yet implemented, I can't really say.
However, floppy support is becoming more and more
unimportant right now, so I don't think too much energy
will be wasted on such a dead medium.
Amiga-News: How will a Classic Amiga boot OS4? A classic Amiga can't boot from a PPC filesystem,
how will that problem be solved?
Thomas Frieden: As there's still a 68k on the classic (which can't be
removed due to some signals that are still generated in
the 68k), the first boot wil always be done using the
68k. There's no reason why the file system structure
can't be used from 68k and PPC alike...
3. Supported Hardware, USB, Firewire
Amiga-News: What hardware will definately be supported by OS4 (Gfx,Sound,NICs,USB,etc. ...)?
Thomas Frieden: All of the above.
Amiga-News: What USB drivers will be available?
Thomas Frieden: Currently, the most important things to cover are
keyboards, mice, and HUBs. Other drivers will follow
later. Third parties like IoSpirit already have access
to our USB stack and will provide for support for
devices such as scanners.
Amiga-News: What will the USB stack look like? Will it have a GUI?
Thomas Frieden: With a limited GUI.
Amiga-News: Will OS4's USB stack be compatible with "Poseidon"?
Thomas Frieden: Doubtful.
Amiga-News: What about drivers for printers, scanner, CD-ROM etc.?
Thomas Frieden: This will remain in the hands of third parties for now
with the exception of the CD-ROM drivers.
Amiga-News: Are you working on a driver for PCI-Firewire?
Thomas Frieden: No. Firewire is low priority. It's scope is rather
limited, therefore it's not considered an essential
feature. Support will probably follow later, but it's
our firm believe that right now, other stuff is far
more important (USB, IDE, SCSI).
Amiga-News: Do you have access to documentation for the 'All In Wonder' Radeon 7500 and 8500 too?
Thomas Frieden: The chips on these cards are practically the same as on the other variants.
Amiga-News: If yes will there be drivers supporting the additional functionality of these cards?
Thomas Frieden: No, at least not initially.
Amiga-News: Would there be AHI support for the audio functionality of these cards?
Thomas Frieden: See above.
Amiga-News: Will 3D drivers for ATi Radeon 7500 be shipped with OS4.0?
Thomas Frieden: Not initially. The idea is to release OS 4 for the
Cyberstorm PPC first where there is no need for such a
driver (These boards are AGP only, AFAIK).
Amiga-News: Will 3D drivers for ATi Radeon 8500 ship with OS4.0?
Thomas Frieden: This will need to wait for the new version of Warp3D.
Amiga-News: Does OS4 run on the Pegasos?
Thomas Frieden: We don't have a Pegasos. Theoretically it would be very
easy to get OS 4 to run on the Pegasos considering the
very limited technical differences between the AmigaOne
and the Pegasos.
Amiga-News: What about hardware companies supporting OS4 (wrt scanners, printers)?
Thomas Frieden: None confirmed yet. However, we've been approached by
hardware manufactureres about support for OS4. I can't
tell any details yet, though.
Amiga-News: Will the BlizzardPPC be supported?
Thomas Frieden: Most likely.
Amiga-News: Will the BlizzardVision / CyberVisionPPC be supported?
Thomas Frieden: Yes.
4. Other OS4 modules
Amiga-News: What's the finalised feature list for OS4?
Thomas Frieden: See Amiga's web page.
Amiga-News: What new features will Intuition have?
Thomas Frieden: I'm sorry, but that question is too complex to answer
within the scope of this questionnaire.
Amiga-News: How much of the new features is finished already?
Thomas Frieden: The new intuition is about 95 % finished, last I
heard...
Amiga-News: What's IBrowse's status?
Thomas Frieden: Ibrowse 2.3 has been in beta-testing for a while now.
Amiga-News: What's the status of MUI 4.0?
Thomas Frieden: We have built a complete version of MUI using the
latest source-code.
Amiga-News: Will there be a new Ed?
Thomas Frieden: No, no new Ed. There are people that use vi, and there
are people that use emacs. I use GoldEd. Most people
have their favorite editor already. The system's editor
is meant for small changes, like changing
startup-sequence... most user will still want to go on
using their existing editor, though...
Amiga-News: How much is DOpus Magellan integrated? Will it be just an external Tool?
Thomas Frieden: That has not yet been decided.
Amiga-News: What new shell commands will be available?
Thomas Frieden: There will be a new shell, yes. This isn't really the
place to start listing individual shell commands.
Amiga-News: What's ARexx's future?
Thomas Frieden: Arexx will be preserved but we are looking at alternatives as a replacement down the line.
Amiga-News: Will there be multi-user support? Password protection?
Thomas Frieden: No, at least not in the initial version.
Amiga-News: Will Screen-Dragging be possible (again)?
Thomas Frieden: Such a feature is technically "challenging" on anything
but the classic hardware. If you run OS4 on a Amiga
native mode, it will be possible. But different
resolutions at the same time on a standard graphics
chip are impossible.
Amiga-News: Will OS4 stay video compatible? Will it still be possible to display the Workbench
on a TV (as long as the gfx card has TV-out)?
Thomas Frieden: If the driver supports it, yes. After all, this is just a matter of the driver.
Amiga-News: How secure is the TCP stack? What about Firewall software?
Thomas Frieden: I think a firewall is integrated. There's also the possibility for IP forwarding, which requires some firewall functionality...
Amiga-News: Will openening a Workbench window (and rendering the icons) still block the rest of the system?
Thomas Frieden: Sorry, don't know. AFAIK, this wasn't even the case on
the latest Workbench. but I could be mistaken...
5. Misc. Stuff
Amiga-News: Could you explain the various delays? What difficulties did you encounter? What unexpected
problems had to be solved?
Thomas Frieden: It would take us too far to discuss all the reasons for
the delays here. The main reason is that we decided to
fold most if not all of the functionality originally
planned for OS 4.2 into OS 4.0. Plus there's the fact
that we needed to develop the AmigaOne Bios after the
original development company (completely unrelated to
the Amiga market) failed to come up with the goods.
Amiga-News: What will we have to pay fo OS4? Will OS3.5/3.9 owners get a discount?
Thomas Frieden: Pricing has yet to be decided. No price-cuts are
planned for OS 3.5 and 3.9 buyers. OS 4.0 is the most
comprehensive OS update since 2.x to 3.0 and the
targetmarket is quite small. This leaves little room
for discounts.
Amiga-News: How can I become beta tester?
Thomas Frieden: Beta-testing will initially be carried out by selected
and trusted individuals who are known to the 30+ OS 4
developers.
Amiga-News: Will there be real manuals as PDF,HTML and AmigaGuide documents?
Thomas Frieden: Time permitting.
Amiga-News: Who will handle customer support (bug repots, requests)?
Thomas Frieden: This has yet to be finalised. Let's start with actually
releasing OS 4.
Amiga-News: What are the long term plans (AmigaOS5)? Will AmigaOS become CPU independant or run on multiple
CPUs (IA32, IA64, MIPS, SPARC...)?
Thomas Frieden: Sorry, you'll have to ask Amiga about this. Hyperion is
currently only interested in moving OS 4 forward and
ensuring its survival on a new and modern hardware
platform. Basically, the system has been "cleaned" a
bit of CPU dependencies.
However, I don't really see a good chance to run on
little endian CPUs... this doesn't only affect the
system, but all user code as well, and I would
definitely think that a lot of code will fail. Apart
from that, chances to run on IA64 are much smaller than
anything else (32 bit systems do no port well to 64 bit
systems, at least not when you want to use the extra 32
bits...)
Overall, all code working on a system wich also
includes little endian CPUs will have to take care
about the endian. This is not a problem in itself, but
I'm willing to predict that a lot of people will not
care about this. They will code for one specific CPU,
and this will lead to a real mess.
Amiga-News: What are the chances to get JAVA for AmigaOS?
Thomas Frieden: Better than before when AmigaDE can run hosted on OS 4.x.
Amiga-News: When will Quake2 be available for AmigaOS?
Thomas Frieden: Hopefully soon.
Amiga-News: Will there be Easter Eggs?
Thomas Frieden: If I'd tell you, I'd spoil the fun ;)

Event: Pegasos and AmigaOne at O.A.S.E.
For the first time in Austria, Pegasos and AmigaOne G3SE will be shown at next weekend's O.A.S.E. in Graz.
The Pegasos will be demontrated by DYXS GmbH, a Thendic France partner.
The current AmigaOne G3SE Board has arrived at the organisers PointDesign
already in Rev. B, so at least they'll be able to show a current version of the
BIOS.
Besides MorphOS on the Pegasos, parts of AmigaOS 4 will be demonstrated.
Furthermore the USB cards Thylacine and Highway will be presented with USB
devices. You will also be able to see the Norway Ethernet module, Mirage 4000T,
and much more.
For the first time in Austria: Linux on Playstation 2, as well as 2 Gamecubes
with current games for the gamers.
The O.A.S.E. Open Amiga Southeast Europe Show will take place on 14th and 15th
September 2002 in the Hotel Europa in Graz, Austria. Further information about
this event can be found on the O.A.S.E. web site.

Tool: TWINKICK-GENERATOR / Amiga1000 Kickdisk with OS1.3 and OS3.1
This tool from Andre Pfeiffer generates a Kickstart-Disk for the
A1000-Amiga with OS1.3 and OS3.1 on 1 Disk.
Download: twinkick.lha
The tool requires a disk with two files:
- OS1.3 (V34.5) named "KICK13.ROM" (A500/A1000/A2000)
- OS3.1 (V40.063) named "KICK31.ROM" (A500/A600/A2000)
- (You can generate this files with the "GRABKICK"-Tool from Aminet)
- Don't forget to rename the files!
Execute the tool "TKG.EXE" and follow the instructions. That's all!
Turn on your A1000 and insert your new Kickstart, during the boot process
you will see a short instruction.
IMPORTANT:
This Kickstart requires an A1000 with 2MB or more FastMem
located at $200000 (works with AutoConfig and NonAutoConfig-Expansions).
(Does not work with more than one external MemoryExpansion!)
EXTRAS:
- OS3.1 works with NonAutoConfigMemory
- OS1.3 includes a "Game-Mode", better PAL-Check, Virus-Checker and
some bugfixes

Emulator: WinUAE 0.8.22 Release 1 (08.09.2002)
Since yesterday, the Amiga emulator WinUAE 0.8.22 Release 1 by Toni
Wilen for Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2K and WinXP has been available in the
download area of the WinUAE home page. (Unfortunately, winuae.net currently
seems to be down, please write any known mirror addresses into the
comments!).
The following changes have been implemented:
- UAE 0.8.22 merge, bumped version number (but most changes were already included in R4)
- 68000 CHK-instruction fix (Days of Thunder) and exception 3 handling update
- real 68000 prefetch emulation ("100 most remembered C64 games" and more)
- some custom chipset fixes (sprite-playfield collisions, graphics corruption)
- keyboard fix (some key presses were missed when pressing multiple keys)
- A1000 emulation fixes
- AVIOutput update (Sane)
- input-tab updates
- vsync works properly in interlaced screen modes
- sound updates/changes (DirectSound, uses UAE timing in non-JIT/vsync modes and more...)
- filesystem bug fixes
- CD32 pad numeric keypad emulation works again
- fixed joystick bugs in compatibility mode
- fast RAM state save fix
- bsdsocket fix (Stephan Riedelbeck)
- disk emulation fixes
New features:
- full harddisk image support (hdtoolbox, RDB, custom filesystems, SFS and PFS3 confirmed working)
- uaescsi.device improvements, confirmed compatible with CacheCDFS, AmiCDFS and AsimCDFS
(disk change support added and use of direct scsi-mode is not needed anymore)
- Action Replay 1 support (but breakpoints don't work)
- CPU idle (tries to detect use of STOP-instruction, may not be complatible with all Amiga software..)
- floppy speed slider is back
- new AHI code and driver (Bernd Roesch)
- Amiga <> Windows clipboard support (Bernd Roesch)
- on the fly switching between OpenGL and DirectDraw mode
- on the fly switching between vsync and non-vsync mode
- compressed Kickstart ROM image support
- build-in screenshot function, shortcut key: F11 (Sane)
- experimental (and much slower) cycle-exact cpu and blitter emulation mode.
WARNING: requires at least 50%+ more cpu power than "regular" mode.
Athlon XP/Pentium IV + DDR/RAMBUS RAM highly recommended!
WARNING2: Frameskip must be set to 1.
WARNING3: very experimental, timing is quite far from perfection.
- wkeykill.dll support (disables Windows-keys)
- OpenGL scanline brightness slider added
- and more..

CD32-Allianz web site temporarily inaccessible
As some might already have noticed, the home page of the CD32-Allianz is
currently inaccessible. The reason for this is not that we are giving up, but rather
that we have exceeded our server space, and have thus been shut down
(Arcor has halved the web space to 25 MB).
Some cover scans have now been deleted, and we hope to get activated again
soon. Of course there will be another announcement on amiga-news.de when that
happens! Regarding the increasing need for web space we will then think of a
solution.

instant messenger 'AmiComSys'. This version contains a.o.t. various bug fixes
and introduces some new features (see readme).
The program works similar to the well known ICQ (Who is online? Private chat.
Public chat. Posting of files.).
AmiComSys needs AmigaOS 3.0+, CPU 68020+, amarquee.library V54+ (included) and
MUI.
In addition to the AmiComSys archive, the MUI custom class NList V20.106+ is
required.

According to SixK, this emulator is currently not as fast and compatible as
Shapeshifter.
It has been successfully tested with MacOS 7.0.1. On SixK's Amiga it didn't run
with MacOS 7.6.1.
This port has so far not been tested with MacOS 8.0.0.

AmigaOSXL: Experieces Report V1.36
Dietmar Knoll writes:
In my report, I describe the experiences I have made with the H&P
Big-Tower. There have been numerous updates since the latest news
message before the summer break of amiga-news.de.
The chapter "AmigaXL" has been extended by the "Commands and Programs"
for this emulator and the "Settings" section has been retouched again.
For Amithlon, several changes have been made in the chapter "Installation"
and new "Commands and Patches" from the latest Amithlon-Contrib3 archive
have been added in the chapter "Amithlon".
Today I have finished version 1.0 of the GoodyBox. Since the first version
5 icons and 3 mountlists for Amithlon and a script for AC97Mixer have been
added. Furthermore, I have reworked the "Readme" file nearly completely.
If someone else can offer suggestions or files for the GoodyBox, he or she
can write them to me. (ps)

De Inkom is gratis en het inschrijvingsgeld voor de AmigaClub bedraagt 30
Euro. In het Lokaal kan je een drankje en een versnapering nuttigen en

We hebben ook een mailinglijst http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bbccamiga,
waar je alle vragen kunt stellen inverband met de Amiga en de Club.
Zo, hopelijk mogen we enkele nieuwe en 'oude' gezichten ontmoeten om eens
een leuk babbeltje mee te slaan of om wat te computeren, tot dan. :)
De groetjes, Dirk (ps)

Amiga, Inc.: Bill McEwen's September 2002 Executive Update
Bill's latest update touches on a plethora of topics including the
Sacremento show, the Amiga club, the AmigaOne, PDA/Cellphones, Bernie
Meyer's product and the possibility of new product(s) from Amiga:
September 5, 2002 - From the desk of Bill McEwen
Greetings to one and all:
I would first like to thank all of those that I had the chance to meet
in Sacramento. While a short trip it was indeed great fun and real delight
meeting with all of you and hearing not only the encouraging words, but
also sharing in your concerns, desires, and dreams. We are looking forward
to deliver on what we discussed with you.
When we purchased Amiga from Gateway there were many out there who said
that we would fail. There were many out there who have worked against
our efforts, and others that have misrepresented fact and manipulated
privileged information in order to further their obviously self serving
goals. There have been those who have wronged us, and caused us damage.
But, guess what? We are still here! We are still delivering! We are going
to stay here! Amiga is about people, technology, excellence, we are a
most tenacious people, and we have the community to prove it. Has it always
gone according to plan? no. Have we made some adjustments to the plan?
yes. Are we delivering on the plan? yes. Will we allow others to dictate
our future? Absolutely not. Period..
Because of you, the Amiga dream lives, because of you, Amiga's are still
being used throughout the world performing amazing tasks and activities,
and because of you, we are still here and moving forward.
Amiga is a giant resting for the day of the fight, and gaining strength
quietly, for, as we embark on this mission together, nothing will tear
us apart.
Thank you once again for supporting us, and showing to the world that
what was begun in 1985 was truly only the beginning.
Bill McEwen, and the Amiga Team
Amiga Club Members:
I would also like to take a minute and say a special howdy to all of the
club members. It is really encouraging to see all of the activity and
input from you with regards to the shirt design and name for the club.
The "I am Amiga" name did not go over as well as I had thought,
but in the next couple of weeks (after we get the ok from those who already
have the name that was selected) we will all have the name and shirt design
with which an be happy and proud to wear. Each member will receive their
first newsletter in the next two weeks, and there will be all sorts of
great announcements and information e, so look forward to it in your inbox.
As a reminder we will be having a new drawing for an Amiga Enabled Cell
Phone in September, and we would encourage those of you who have not joined
yet, to get in here and do so. We have many plans and activities coming
up for the club, and once again for only $ 50.00 you will receive the
newsletter, Shirt and other special promotions. The lifetime membership
offer has ended, but we would encourage you to be a part of something
really exciting as the members will continue to receive special discounts
and exclusive programs directed at the membership. We will honor the "$50.00
off" certificate for the next members who join through the end of
September, at which point we will hold the draw for the new cell phone.
September 1st, 2002:
As mentioned in Sacramento at AmiWest, we had offered amnesty to those
people/companies/entities who have knowingly stolen our IP and used it
for their own gains, or who have shipped product knowing that they are
illegal had until the end of August in order for them to comply and to
get legal.
Now, I am not going to mention names nor am I going to get into a public
discourse on what is happening.. But legal action has begun. In the next
two weeks papers will be served. We will target one violator at a time
with the hope that we will send a very clear signal that this is very
serious, will not be permitted and will be stopped.
This is a private action between Amiga Inc, and those who wish to continue
in this practice. While we announced publicly our intentions, the actions
will be private. I am sure that everyone can understand this and I hope
will support this.
AmigaOne Update:
Well, the amazing team of Eyetech and Hyperion are doing a great job.
Many of you already have in your possession the AmigaOne boards, and many
more of you have seen the hardware in action. This is indeed another major
leap forward as we near the release of the new hardware and OS 4.0. Eyetech
and Alan Redhouse have been doing a great job of keeping everyone informed
of the progress, and we look forward to the products release.
AmigaOS 4.0:
Hyperion and the team are making amazing strides here. The screen shots
that we all see and the updates from Ben and the people working on it
shows great progress. I know that they are working hard with regard to
the integration into the AmigaOne, and I for one am looking forward to
seeing it all working together, and from what I hear we are not too far
off from making that happen. With this stated we have received some more
shots of the interface from the OS 4.0 team. You can see the new AmiDock screenshots here.
PDA/Cell Phone Update:
As mentioned in Sacramento the Amiga Anywhere Content Engine and associated
content will be shipping on the new Sendo™ SmartPhone™ when
it ships. Now, to answer the many e-mails that I have received about the
Sendo phone…. I do not know when the device will ship commercially;
it is out of our hands with regard to when they will have the phone available.
I will tell you that before the end of the year we will be making at least
two more Cell Phone announcements and at least two more PDA announcements.
We are really starting to move on getting these business deals done and
there will be many more opportunities for our developers to create new
products for these cutting edge devices.
A Possible New Product Offering - Let me know your thoughts:
In recent dealings with one of our hardware OEM's they offered an opportunity.
This opportunity is for excellent laptop hardware at excellent prices.
They would be dual boot systems with Linux/UAE, and Bernie Meyers product
(formally known as Amithlon) pre-loaded on the device. Here is a sample
of some of the pricing that you could expect, all prices quoted are in
US$:
| Processor |
RAM |
Display |
Hard Drive |
Optical media |
Software |
Price |
| Intel® 1.2GHz Celeron™ |
256MB |
15.0" TFT |
20GB |
DVD |
Linux/UAE Ami* |
$999 |
| Intel® 1.6GHz Pentium® 4 |
256MB |
15.0" XGA TFT |
20GB |
DVD/CDRW Combo |
Linux/UAE Ami* |
$1579 |
| Intel® 1.6GHz Pentium® 4 |
256MB |
SXGA TFT |
30GB |
DVD/CDRW Combo |
Linux/UAE Ami* |
$1679 |
These examples are notebook computers. There are other options available, but
I am trying to find out how many of you would be interested in purchasing these
through your local Amiga dealer. Let us know by sending an e-mail to interested@amiga.com.
There are also desktops and other configurations but I think that a notebook
Amiga would be compelling. Let us know.
The Product Formally Know as Amithlo*:
As mentioned before Bernie Meyers has a wonderful product, and we expected
it to be out by now. However there have been a couple of delays, none
of these are engineering driven, that has delayed the release. I can tell
you that the new product will be out very soon, and will offer some new
requested features, and from what I understand is really going to knock
your socks off. We will have an update concerning the timing of this release
and the new name very shortly. So contrary to what you may have heard,
it will be available soon.
Developers:
This message is an update for you. You have created some of the greatest
content that the world has ever known. Your skill sets and your tenacity
have overwhelmed many, and everyday you become more and more important
to the future.
If you have been sitting on the sidelines I encourage you to jump in.
We are getting requests from many of our OEM partners with regard to content
that they are looking for on their devices.
While it has been a slow start (as is always the case in developing a
market), this next quarter is going to see major movement, and distribution.
We have many programs ready to take place for the Holiday season and we
want you to be a part of it. So I encourage you to jump in make contact
with us. Join us in creating the future.
In closing I wish to thank each and every member of the Amiga family
for their support and good wishes in this amazing journey that we have
embarked upon together. We are closer today than we were yesterday to
the dreams and goals of Amiga. Tomorrow we will be closer again, and soon
we can all share in the rewards.
Sincerely,
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team

Tool: SRename Version 3.5.0 Beta 5
Constantinos Nicolakakis has released probably the last beta version
of SRename 3.5.0. SRename is a program which has some more functions
as the common 'rename'. Here are some features:
- Can use wildcards.
- Total control over recursion, the user can set the level of recursion, starting level of recursion and
can even specify a different pattern for entering directories.
- Can renumber filename sequences without the user having to care for the renumber order or filename
clashes because these are taken care of automatically.
- Can perform numbering of filename sequences.
- Can modify the filename's comment and transfer the filename to the comment or the reverse.
- Allows the user to build his/her own functions by providing a command set of selectors and actions
that can be combined in many ways.
- The number of actions that can be executed in one go is only limited by the command line length.
- It is interface compatible with the OS Rename command.
- Efficient memory usage.
Download: SRename3.5b5.lzx

Poseidon & Norway Updates Version 1.28 available (Update)
There is a new version V1.28 of the Poseidon USB Stack available from my
website (title link), aswell as an updated driver for the Norway Ethernet
Addon which sits ontop of the Highway.
There's now a VHI driver for the Pencam and compatible webcams. However, to
work 100% correctly, you probably need version VHI Studio 5.7 which is
scheduled for release next Monday.
There are also MorphOS PPC native binaries, but I doubt anyone will use
them yet ;) (also there still seems to be a problem with the ELF version of
the main library).
Finally, I want you to encourage to send in an email, whenever you might
need help or just have a good idea of improvement (except nagging for the
HID class ;) ).
Update:
PS: Don't be worried about the registration form included starting with
this release and the "demo version" restrictions: The Highway and Subway
boards come with an OEM licence and you do NOT have to register Poseidon.
This is only for third party hardware drivers which do not have a licence.
In this case, the user has to buy a keyfile, if he wants to make use of
Poseidon. (ps)

System Monitor: Sysmon V1.20a
On the 2nd of September Etienne Vogt released Version 1.20a of his shell-based System Monitor. Check the ReadMe Text
for more information about the program. Since version 1.20 the following changes have been made:
- 'UnMount ALL' will now ignore ENV: as well as RAM: if mounted as a
separate handler. This allows late shutdown code to access global
environment variables in all cases and also avoids problems with
Env-Handlers that have broken ACTION_DIE support.
- Added FRAGS option to the Sysmon monitor Show Memory command.
