THE  FAST ATA-2/EIDE CONTROLLER

In recent times, the extremely dynamic progress in the mass production
technology of data storage media has resulted in a huge increase
of their capacity and speed. It is especially apparent in the devices
which make use of the FAST ATA-2/EIDE standard of communication with
computers.
Enhanced IDE is at present the most common controller standard for
hard drives, CD-ROM drives, CD-RW drives, DVD drives, etc.

The Amiga 1200 has a built-in hard disk controller in the IDE standard.
However, only the PIO 0 mode of operation has been implemented in the
Amiga 1200, which is the slowest of all PIO modes with a maximum
transfer rate of about 3 MB/s.

The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller idea has been based upon the
assumption to fully use the currently produced devices in
the FAST ATA-2/EIDE standard with their increased speed and capacity.
The aim of this solution is to adapt the existing Amiga computer
systems to the new, many times more effective devices, while retaining
full compatibility with the existing software and hardware installed
in the system.

The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller has been designed to fit inside the
Amiga 1200 in its standard casing or in any Tower-type casing.
The controller works with two EIDE ports, which can accommodate up
to four devices. Apart from the PIO 0 standard, necessary for
booting up the Amiga computer from a hard disk and for accepting
the oldest types of devices, the card also provides for fast
PIO 3 and PIO 4 modes.



THE  FAST ATA-2/EIDE CONTROLLER FEATURES

The  FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller with its many features represents
the highest technology controller in its category. The following
list describes some of these features:

Fast transfer rate of up to 16.6 MB/s

The  FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller with its maximum transfer rate
of 16.6 MB/s in the PIO 4 mode offers a huge capacity reserve for
fast mass storage devices, especially for fast hard drives.
Therefore, applications may run much faster if they can count on
fast access to large data files.

Support of ATAPI standard devices

The  FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller implements the ATAPI standard as
well, for use with devices like CD-ROM drives, DVD drives, etc.
This enables the connection of ATAPI-standard devices to the Amiga
with no need for the installation of additional software.

Two buffered and terminated EIDE ports

The controller operates with two EIDE ports, which enable
installation of up to four IDE/EIDE/ATAPI devices. Both controller
ports are fully buffered and terminated in accordance with the
recommendations set forth in the ATA-3 specification.

Fully compatible with hard drives of over 4 GB capacity

Limitations on the size of hard disks have been overcome in the
FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller. The  FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller may be
used with hard drives of over 4 GB capacity with no need to change
the FastFileSystem used so far for file management.

Automatically configured devices

The Controller automatically recognises any devices attached to it,
negotiates the highest possible data transfer rates, switches the
devices into its appropriate mode and performs data transfers at
their maximum transfer rates.

Automatic recognition of the processor type

The  FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller automatically detects processor type
used and optimises and modifies some software routines
in order to achieve the highest possible data transfer rate between
the controller and the computer memory.

32-bit access

The computer recognises the controller as a 32-bit device configured
in the address space of the previous IDE controller, which has been
disconnected. Full 32-bit operation of the controller combined with
very efficient software guarantees a significant increase in the
speed of your computer.

Other features of the  FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller:

* 2 devices in different modes of operation (PIO 3 or PIO 4)
  may be connected simultaneously to each of the ports without speed
  reduction.
* New mass storage data verification procedure free of ROM-based errors.
* The software installation is performed automatically by the
  installation programme script found in the enclosed floppy disk.

To Amiga users worldwide,

Due to recent announcements and problems with Amiga, Digital Images regrets
that we will be suspending all AmigaMCC projects including Sabrina Offline.
Space Station 3000 and Wipeout 2097 will be released as planned, but we will
be suspending all other Amiga developments until further notice.

Everyone behind Digital Images has enthusiastically supported the Amiga
through the good times and the bad times. But with the recent troubles with
Amiga, the entire team has unanimously decided to suspend all Amiga
developments (with the exception of Space Station 3000 and Wipeout 2097). We
regret to have to take these measures, but Digital Images cannot afford to
spend time, resources and money developing for a computer which now, as it
seems may never appear.

We hope that everybody reading this understands our position as this is the
last thing that any of us would ever have wanted to do, but Amiga have made
promise after promise that something would appear, but it has not.

We deeply regret this decision, but it is a final measure that has to be
taken. We wish that we wouldn't have to go this far, but we now have no
other option - it is the last thing that any of us wanted to do. We would
appreciate it if everybody understood our position and wouldn't send e-mails
of anger and abuse. We have done everything in our power to avoid this, but
it just isn't possible.

If the Amiga does indeed rise again, which we hope it does, we will return.

We hope that you will enjoy our upcoming releases of Space Station 3000 and
Wipeout 2097.

If you do have any questions or queries concerning this announcement, please
e-mail info@digital-images.demon.co.uk

We thank you all once again for your loyal and devoted support.

Kind Regards,

Stuart Walker
Digital Images

Subject:      CCC Presseinfo zu Hintertuer in MS Crypto API

Presseinformation des Chaos Computer Club

03. September 1999

Microsoft-Betriebssysteme mit eingebauter Hintertür:
Sichere Verschlüsselung mit Windows in Frage gestellt

Durch detaillierte Untersuchung des Betriebssystem Windows NT durch
einen amerikanischen Sicherheitssoftware-Entwickler konnte eine massive
Software-Hintertür, die offenbar auf den US-Geheimdienst NSA zurückgeht
in den Betriebssystemen Windows 95, 98, NT sowie Windows 2000 (beta)
entdeckt werden. Diese hat nachhaltige Auswirkungen auf die Sicherheit
der Microsoft-Betriebssysteme.

Nachdem die Bestrebungen des amerikanischen Geheimdienstes NSA (National
Security Agency) zur weltweiten Kommunikationskontrolle mit Hilfe
international einheitlichen Regulierung von Verschlüsselungsverfahren
herbe Rückschläge erlitten hat, wird nun offenbar versucht dasselbe Ziel
durch Einbau von Hintertüren in die marktdominierenden amerikanischen
Softwareprodukte zu erreichen.

Die von Microsoft für Programmierer zur Verfügung gestellte Anwendungs-
schnittstelle für Verschlüsselungsfunktionen, die sog. "Crypto API" ist
gegen das Einspielen und Verändern von Verschlüsselungsmodulen im
Betriebssystem normalerweise geschützt. Externe Programmierer oder
Unternehmen, die Verschlüsselungsfunktionen für die Microsoft-
Betriebssysteme zur Verfügung stellen, müssen diese Module zunächst von
Microsoft signieren lassen, bevor sie in der Crypto API verfügbar sind.

Bei der Integration von externen Verschlüsselungsmodulen werden diese
von der Crypto API auf die entsprechende korrekte Signatur mit einem
Microsoft-RSA Key geprüft. Zum Zwecke dieser Prüfung befindet sich der
Microsoft RSA Public Key im entsprechenden Modul neben einem weiteren,
bislang nicht identifizierten RSA Public Key. Durch die versehentliche
Herausgabe einer noch mit Debug-Symbolen versehenen Version des
Prüfmoduls (in Windows NT4, SP5) konnte jetzt der zweite RSA Key als
offensichtlich dem amerikanischen Geheimdienst NSA (National Security
Agency) zugehörig identifiziert werden; er wird im Programm mit als
"NSAKEY" bezeichnet.

Aufbauend auf dieser Erkenntnis muß man es als unmöglich bezeichnen, auf
der Microsoft Crypto API aufbauend sichere Verschlüsselung zu betreiben.
Denn durch Signierung von der NSA produzierter unsicherer
Verschlüsselungsfunktionen ist es möglich, eigentlich sichere
Verschlüsselungsmodule zu überspielen.

Für den Anwender bedeutet dies, daß er sich nicht auf die Sicherheit
etwaiger Softwareprodukte verlassen kann, selbst wenn diese durch
öffentliche Tests und Dokumentation für sicher befunden wurden; denn
diese können längst durch manipulierte Versionen der NSA ersetzt worden
sein.

"Der wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Schaden durch derartige
Hintertüren in amerikanischen Softwareprodukten ist kaum abschätzbar. Es
kann einfach nicht angehen, daß die deutsche Bundesregierung auf der
einen Seite autonome Verschlüsselung fördert, auf der anderen Seite sich
selbst auf derartig unsichere Betriebssysteme verlässt" kommertiert
CCC-Sprecher Andy Müller-Maguhn den Vorfall; "selbst in sensiblen
Bereichen des Bundestages und der Regierung wird Windows eingesetzt".

Club-Sprecher Frank Rieger forderte in dem Zusammenhang eine europäische
Open-Source Software-Initiative für Sicherheits-Software ohne
Hintertüren.

Der Chaos Computer Club fordert die Gesetzgeber zum Schutz der
Allgemeinheit auf, eine Deklarationspflicht für Hintertüren bei Software
einzuführen. Dies gilt insbesondere für Software aus Ländern, in denen
die Hersteller per Gesetz zum Einbau entsprechender Hintertüren bzw.
Sicherheitseinschränkungen verpflichtet werden können. "Die Benutzer
sollten nicht länger mit scheinbaren Sicherheitsfunktionen getäuscht
werden." sagte CCC-Sprecher Frank Rieger.

Die Erkenntnisse des amerikanischen Hintertür-Entdeckers gehen sogar
noch weiter; auch Angriffsmöglichkeiten durch Ersetzung des NSA-Keys mit
einem beliebigen anderen sind vom ihm beschrieben.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
 If you spend much time on the Internet, you may not need this special
short issue. For those who haven't heard, as of today several news
sites such as ZDNet and CNET are reporting that Jim Collas has
resigned as President of Amiga. Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer Tom Schmidt has been promoted to take over.
 Here's a quote from the CNET story, written by Jim Davis:
"Collas,former senior vice president of global products for Gateway,
has left Amiga after less than nine months on the job, Gateway
spokesperson Brad Shaw confirmed. He is being replaced by Tom Schmidt,
who joined Amiga in April as its senior vice president and COO.

 Schmidt was formerly with AlliedSignal, a manufacturing and
technology concern in the market for aerospace products and services
and automotive products."

 Separately, other web sites indicate that Bill McEwen is out as
Amiga's contact to the press and users. This change apparently
happened Tuesday.
 It would seem we now know why the sudden change to quiet mode by
Amiga. The only good news in all of this is the reports we've seen all
indicate Amiga intends to continue with its existing plans. The
question here is - how close are those plans to what we all think they
are? We'll find out over time.
 "Amiga Update" will attempt to keep you informed about any other
changes at Amiga as we go forward. At this point, there's no
information available at Amiga's web site.

Hello All,

I regret to inform that Bill McEwen told me as of
Tuesday he will no longer be under contract at
Amiga.  Sigh.

I called him about some newsletter plans he had
in mind, only to receive yet another bit of
disappointing news.

Regards,
Fabian
