distributed.net: PowerPC/MorphOS Overtakes x86/DOS, PowerPC/AmigaOS Catching Up
RC5 72 statistics show that MorphOS edged ahead of x86/DOS, taking 13th place, and now it's PA-RISC/HP-UX in front of MorphOS - but this is a system not in danger of being overtaken anytime soon, judging by the current blockrates. PowerPC/AmigaOS by contrast - right now in 16th place - is doing more blocks per day, although it's three positions back, in this blockrate aspect it's noticeably on MorphOS' heels.

Guru Meditation accquires right of the Amiga version of Directory Opus Magellan
Press release: Gothenburg, Sweden, October 20th, 2004
Guru Meditation and GPSoftware are proud to announce that they have reached agreement on the acquisition of the exclusive, worldwide rights to Directory Opus Magellan for the Amiga platform from GPSoftware. This legendary file manager that started on the Amiga will finally be coming back in a new version in 2005!
Dr Greg Perry of GPSoftware said, "We have been searching for a reliable company to continue the development of Directory Opus Magellan for the Amiga for some years now. After some false starts, we are pleased to have licensed the Amiga product to Guru Meditation, where the ongoing development of the product is now assured. Guru Meditation and partners have some exciting plans. We look forward to seeing their new product and extend to them our wholehearted support for their efforts."
Andreas Loong of Guru Meditation said, "This is an invigorating new venture for us. We are very pleased to acquire the rights to this brilliant program, which for so long has been an essential for any Amiga user. Directory Opus Magellan is a file manager unlike all others. It is the essence, the very spirit of how computers should be used. From the very first release of DOpus in 1995, many Amiga users have seen the raw power provided by DOpus with its unique concept integrating Workbench Replacement Mode, File Management and custom functions in one package. All of these functions have been refined and polished into perfection and now is the time to bring this masterpiece back to the Amiga."
Guru Meditation has entered into a contract with a UK based specialist software firm which will be providing the porting work and implementing new features. Work has already begun to bring the sources up to date for the new AmigaOS 4 operating system.
Guru Meditation & GPSoftware
Guru Meditation was formed late 2003 and started off very modestly as a reseller of Amiga equipment and AmigaOne hardware. In mid 2004 the decision was made to acquire the rights for Directory Opus to bring it back to the Amiga platform as the start of a new program of expansion to help kickstart the Amiga market back into life.
GP Software is an independent Australian company based in the western suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Established in 1984, GP Software develops commercial software packages and provides custom software development services to industry in both Australia and worldwide. GP Software has successfully developed and marketed software packages for a variety of platforms including solutions for Commodore business computers, many products and custom solutions for the Amiga including Directory Opus, GPFax, EasyLedgers and others, plus commercial products for Windows. The company now concentrates on software development and services for Windows, mainly with its flagship product, Directory Opus 8 for Windows.

WookieChat 1.3 Beta Released
The IRC program WookieChat has now reached version 1.3, this one is also functional under the OS4 update. WookieChat is a 68k program that also runs under AmigaOS4 and MorphOS.
The new version is not as stable as its predecessor, but since the author is going to spend some time out of the country, he wanted to get this out to the users so they could get an idea of the current development. Users of the current AmigaOS4-Version are advised to click "ignore error" when the Grim Reaper window appears.
A few of the changes:
- Bug elimination: After a /kick the nickname is stricken from the list of those present
- Use of dos.library for data concepts
- A server may be contacted with a double click on its name
- New pop-up menus for the name list
- Keyboard shortcuts implemented
- When a nickname changes in the channel it is also changed in private conversation windows
- The /away command now works right
- "Assign wookiechat:" is not needed anymore

Hardware hack: CD-ROM, HD and disk drive in an A1200 case
Update (26.10.2012, cg): Integrated article into the news item during database migration)
After seeing what Egon Kohlschütter had done to his Amiga 1200, Bob Wicksall decided that there
was a way to make an internal CD-ROM blend better with the original A1200 case. Egon goes into better detail on some of the
technical aspects of the hack so make sure you have a look at his report aswell. Here's what Bob's
version looks like:
The following is a detailed report from Bob, describing how he managed to fit everything (including the disk drive) into the A1200 desktop case.
Feel free to email any questions about this hack to rwicksall@rochester.rr.com.
First things first
I was able to find a spare TEAC CD-224E in an old Gateway desktop PC. I've also seen several of them on ebay. Just search for
Teac and slimline and you probably find a hit. The next step was to open the case and remove the top half of the RF Shield. After this was done I took my CD-ROM and started to eyeball the new location. I found that I could move the harddrive and place the CD-Rom in the back left corner of the case. All I would have to do is build a mount and cut a hole in the case.
The next thing you need to acquire is an adapter to connect the Mini-IDE connector on the
CD-Rom to a standard IDE cable. Again, you can find these on Ebay most of the time. Here is a picture:
Cutting and Mounting
Cutting the hole was a little tricky. Basically I put the top of the case on a table upside down and then placed the CD-ROM snug in the corner
so that I could trace the outline. This told me exactly where I wanted the hole to go. I then measured the location and transferred the outline to the outside of the case. I'm never too sure of my measuring ability so I drilled a fine pilot hole in each of the corners. Once I was sure
I had the outline as accurate as possible I started cutting the hole with a Dremel. The hole was finished with a nice wide file to straighten out the lines.
Mounting the CD-ROM drive was next. The mount was made up of three pieces that I cut out an old plastic hard drive case. The first piece is Z shaped, about 5 inches long and supports the weight of the drive. This piece runs down the middle of the drive, is attached to the back of the case and the other end rests on the motherboard. The second piece is a leg glued to the upper left of the case to support and level the drive. The third piece is simply a stop on the right of the drive to prevent it from moving when ejecting the disk. When the case is open the drive just floats loose but as soon as you close the case it is held in firmly. Here is what it looks like from behind:
Note: The mounts are supporting the case of the drive. They are not touching the door.
Note2: The Z mount is removable. It is held into place by three scraps of plactic glued to the 1200 case.
Moving the harddrive to its new position
I didn't want to lose the internal floppy and I was lucky enough to recover an old 4GB 2.5" harddrive from an old laptop. The Hardrive mount is made up of two pieces of sheet steel. The first is simple an L bracket bolted to the back of the case with two screw holes for the drive. The second piece is basically a hook with a screw hole. This uses the keyboard tray to support the other side of the drive. This of course means you have to unscrew the drive to remove the keyboard.
Note: The harddrive is just resting on it's mount. I had to remove the screws to remove the keyboard.
And from behind:
IDE Cables and Power
I attacked the power harness first. I had already built a replacement power supply from an ATX power supply so I didn't have to worry about the load. I hacked some connectors from an old PC and built a power harness to fit the location of the drives. The power is pulled from the floppy connector on the motherboard and split off to the floppy and the CD-ROM.
I could have folded the IDE cables but I found they were too bulky and I was already afraid of having heat problems in the case. I ended up splitting the cables by hand. It was actually easier than I could have imagined. I used a sharp knife to cut a small hole between each wire and then I carefully pulled each wire free.
I used an Elbox Fast ATA 1200 IDE adapter to get the extra IDE connections. I bought it new from Software Hut for the project and I couldn't be happier. Just stay away from the IDE splitters that stand virtically from the IDE connector on the motherboard. They don't fit under the drive.
As you can see from the picture the CD-ROM comes very close to resting on the IDE adapter. I had to actually bend the pins on the circuit board to make room and then insulate the bottom of the drive with electrical tape.
Closing it all Up
The first thing is to place the keyboard. It slides in without a problem. The harddrive can then be screwed into place:
The case is actually very easy to close. You simply hinge it down from the back:
The finished product:
Further notes
I'm a little concerned about heat but so far I haven't had a problem. I've left it running for several hours with no issues. I don't really like the idea of installing a noisy fan so I'll probably leave things alone for now.
Make sure you give the drive opening plenty of room. If the hole is too small the drive will bind up when you are trying to eject the disk.
I would like to add some additional things like a flicker fixer but my choice of IDE adapters has limited my space. I think with a smaller IDE adapter you could probably fit a PPC card and a Bvision video card. Since I will probably never be able to get my hands on one it's not an issue for me. This IDE connector does give access to the clock port so a future USB adapter is a possibility.

MorphOS: Software News Summary
The current versions of the following programs have been compiled for MorphOS by Matthias Münch:
Likewise, there's a new port of the current BitlBee version (0.91), also from Matthias Münch. BitlBee unites multiple instant messaging services as well as the IRC protocol, whereby ICQ, AIM, Jabber and Yahoo contacts may be called up from an IRC program. The MorphOS version is at a beta stage, so feedback and bugreports are wanted, especially from MSN and Yahoo users.
Also an update of the Keymap Editor Keymorpher (71 KB) by Vladimir Javorski, has reached version 0.099. Besides bug fixing there's a new simple-dead-key conversion and a hotkey-edit mode as well as the use of NList classes for the keymap lists, which may now be used in hex mode.

News about Fun of Computing 2004
This year's Fun of Computing 2004 begins in just a few days. So it's high time some interesting news was released about it.
In the first place we are pleased to officially announce that the firm yellowTAB is listed on the page of exhibitioners. At yellowTAB's stand there's naturally going to be a presentation of their operating system ZETA. ZETA, based on well-known BeOS, will be offered at a special price during the convention.
[MorphOS and Pegasos will be demonstrated by Axel Knabe. Titan Computing will also be there demonstrating their products like Burn-It Pro and Papyrus Office. -dm]
On the subject of AmigaOS 4 there's going to be a special presentation from Jens Langner in which he'll demonstrate the current stage of development of the OS, and talk a bit about the past and the future of the new Amiga OS. Notice is given that this is Jens' private initiative and not an official demo of the OS4 development team or Hyperion.
The team from Anime Development for Amiga (ADA) will be present on Saturday, presenting the latest version of its 3D engine for the game Secret Of My Soul (SOMS).
On Saturday even Matthias Goldisch of the advertisement agency "aktuell" will be there at Fun of Computing, and along with hardware and software for the themes of retro-computing, C64, Amiga and Pegasos, there'll also be computer-themed merchandise, and periodicals like Amiga Plus, Amiga Future and GO64.
For all those who want to keep playing Amiga games, even after a power failure, we have a workable solution. Thanks to the friendly support of Marcus Werum, the inventor of the original Amiga card game, there's now a limited amount of the cardsets available to be handed out on request, at no charge. Only while supplies last, of course!
From the editors of "Amiga Future" there's now also a limited number of examples of their Amiga newspaper, no charge.
You'll find more information about the convention, as well as important tips for getting there and returning, under the appropriate menu selections at the Internet site for Fun of Computing 2004.

Wireless network driver beta version released
A beta version of a new wireless network driver is available for download. It supports PCMCIA cards in the A1200/A600 and PCI cards on the AmigaOne.
For potential compatibility information, see Absolute Value System's directory of wireless chipsets. If a card's chipset is listed there as Orinoco, Agere or Prism (except the SSF version) and its bus type is PCMCIA or PCI, it is likely to work. If the card is listed there but doesn't match these requirements, it will definitely not work.

Because of an inquiry by Carsten Siegner Chris Hodges has written an USB driver for
the touchscreen of an Egalax 7"-Car-TFT-Monitors.
Carsten Siegner has published two beta versions of this driver on his homepage. Because
the monitor of the touchscreen of Carsten currently is out of order the driver is not
developed further.
Limitations of the beta version: Debug-Output on the serial interface,
you can not change the work area of the touchscreen.
Direct Download:

Updates of CDDA_SwapMostLeast & SearchStar
Tom "AmigaHarry" Duin has released new versions of his programs "CDDA_SwapMostLeast" and "SearchStar."
CDDA_SwapMostLeast 1.9
CDDA_SwapMostLeast converts CDDA-data to and from CDDA_MostSignificant- (MOTOROLA) into CDDA_LeastSignificant- (INTEL) format.
The new version (1.9) may now be started from the shell or the Workbench. It's been largely rewritten to eliminate known errors and achieve greater velocity.
SearchStar 0.87
"SearchStar" is a multi-function program that searches your hard-drive for a name or results corresponding to specific search criteria. With this you may select either upper or lower case, additionally SearchStar can replace the results with another designation ("Global Search and Replace").

"Project: Reality" Website Online
Under the title link you'll find the homepage of "Project: Reality", which dedicates itself to the realization of the "Amiga Fantasy" computer case design by Marko Hirv (picture).
The Amiga 1200-style housing should have room to accomodate the following components:
- Mini-ITX-Board (e.g. µA1)
- Integrated USB keyboard in the Amiga style
- PCI riser card, space for a PCI card
- EIDE hard-drive
- Slimline slot-loading CDROM/DVDROM/Combo-Drive
- opening for the compact Flash slot of the µA1-I
- 60 W fanless netting [I think power supply is meant here, but the word for netting was definitely used -dm]
- External adapter, 110-240 V switchable
They are trying to build a prototype by sometime in the first half of 2005.
