Fortnightly Q&A's with Fleecy Moss - episode 16
The English online magazine AmigaWorld has published episode 16 of the regular questions and answers session with Fleecy Moss, CTO at AMIGA, Inc. (Update 2012-03-15, cg: as the original document is no longer available, the following content was moved into our database):
1) CanGuy: I'm getting into wireless technology at the moment and see a lot of applications for it. Is it likely that AmigaOS will contain something like Zeroconf (aka Rendezvous in Apple-speak) in the next year or so?
Fleecy: Part of the remit of AmigaOS4 is to ensure that devices that use it can work together with each other and as part of a hetergeneous network. We are already working on this with the tethered connection and this will be followed up relatively quickly with the untethered technologies, initially 802.11 and then Bluetooth.
2) ikir: OS4 supports multiprocessors so.... any idea when a double G4 AmigaOne will be realesed?
Fleecy: AmigaOS4 will support SMP first and then AMP second but it is more important for us to have a shipping product running on one processor first. I believe that a double G4 AmigaOne will be out in the next year - indeed a prototype dual processor module is already in our hands.
We have a lot to do already in developing AG2 - graphics, audio and a new user environment to name but a few. These are much more important than supporting SMP in the short term and as I have said before, I see AMP as being far more important in the long run.
3) Turbo: SoundBlaster Live! & SB512 support 128 instuments & 10 drums. Hercules/Guillemot have several high quality sound cards available, most of which have a Yamaha Synth with 676 instuments & 21 drums combined with a CS4624 or CMI-8738 DSP. Are there any future plans for Amiga OS4.x to support alternative sound cards when a higher Amiga user base is established?
Fleecy: Very much so. However, as always, until the AmigaOS4 market grows to the point where audio card companies will write the drivers themselves, we have to expend our own resources and thus will be limited in what can be supported. Our initial plans are to support one card each from the three natural groups. As an example (and only an example), AC-97 on-board audio for desktop, SB Live!, Audigy or Terratec for gaming and Echo for pro-audio.
4) Hondo_DK: Has Amiga Inc. at any point, contacted third party commercial/brand making companys, to develop a path for the future amiga platform? And can we expect amiga commercials in magazines, tv, internet, etc?
Fleecy: We have a very definite path already mapped out for the Amiga platform as both an overt and an embedded solution. In talking with OEMs, IHVs and the like, these plans have been developed further but many of them would involve Amiga technologies within their own branding/marketing strategies.
We do intend to make use of the full spectrum of marketing and advertising media, as well as visiting a few unorthodox efforts.
5) Darth_X: If we wanted to start a project, like AmiZilla, to port OS4 to the Pegasos, how much money would we need to raise? :D In other words, what is the minimum amount of $$$ needed to port OS4 to the Pegasos?
Fleecy: There are three possible routes in considering AmigaOS4.0
- We see an existing market in which AmigaOS4.0 makes commercial sense.
- We see a developing market that we believe will deliver commercial success.
- A third party approaches us with enough money to make the creation of a port a commercial success regardless of its sales.
Since the Pegasos is a deprecated product, its sales would be minimal and so the amount of money needed would be excessive to a community driven project. Of course if an eccentric user turns up with a few million Euros then we'd certainly chat with him or her.
6) Eric_Z: There has been a rather interesting discussion over at Aorg latly on the possibility of using an Elbox SharkPPC card in a PC/MAC as an inexpensive way to run OS4. Do you know if this is possible and do you think that such an product ("OS4 on PC") would be desirabe to have in the "Amiga hardware matrix"?
Fleecy: On a general level there is no reason why it shouldn't work, although you'd have to look at the effect of having the processor board on the PCI bus. In terms of is it desirable then you have to look at the usage equation. If you have a PC that can easily jump between the huge mass of PC applications and the smaller amount of Amiga pplications then would there be enough of an incentive for native Amiga development to take place if users could just as easily use Photoshop or Cubase or play UT2003?
7) Asemoon: I have read that parts of AmigaOS4 could be stored in ROM. Could future Amigas using such a ROM start multimedia software from CD/DVD/Disk without going through a fully running OS (like classic systems and consoles do)?
Fleecy: Yes.
Seeing AmigaOS4 as a solution for such products was part of the plan from the start.
8) Asemoon: I heard debugger software will come integrated into AmigaOS4. How would this work?
Fleecy: When a program crashes, you'll get the option of starting a debugger and attaching it to the crashed task. From there on, you can fully debug the program, probably including the possibility to re-start the crashed task.
9) Herewegoagain: I am familiar with the OS4 feature list, but I would like to know if there will be any driver support for Serial ATA controllers and drives for OS4? Possibly in a boing bag update?
Fleecy: Yes, although I can't give you a timescale at this point.
10) CanGuy: This new "Bowser services" mentioned at the AmigaWest Q/A sounds very interesting, probably more useful to programmers than "just another browser". Will these services include a JavaScript engine? and will it support web standards like DOM1, CSS, etc.
Fleecy: Precisely. The aim is to provide core services rather than a monolithic application. We already intend to use a few of these services for the new documentation, help and user guide system and of course they will be completely open to developers to use for their own projects, in both traditional and non traditional projects.
HTML/XML rendering and processing, Javascript and CSS will all be part of the initial service set and others will follow.

Update: VCD Save now saves audio tracks
Now VCD Save does also save CDDA tracks and creates a prefs file in which are among other things device and unit and, if wanted, the window position on quitting the program being saved. A support for Intel and Motorola data model CDRs is built in. For the time being not every CDR is reacting on the CDDA mode. But this problem is being worked on.

OpenAmiga On the Lookout for a Logo
The website for OpenAmiga has been thoroughly rebuilt and now offers forums and a new look. The authors are now looking for a logo for the OpenAmiga project. If you would like to furnish or help work on such a logo, click on the menu button Compliance Logos.
The initiators of OpenAmiga have made it their goal to establish a standard for the Amiga. This standard should then make it easier for a programmer to port between future Amiga platforms such as Amiga OS 4, AROS and MorphOS, at the same time offering the user a higher degree of flexibility in determining which system is for him or her.

Daniel Miller's Amiwest 2003 Show Report Part II
Before I leave a necessarily critical report of the MorphOS and Pegasos presentation
on Saturday morning, I will do the single courtesy of stating that it was a
setup-type problem that caused things to go haywire. As the presentation started
there was an awkward several moments as the Pegasos which had just been hooked up
to the projector failed to cooperate, requiring multiple reboots and typing in the
open firmware command line. The presenters were unable to improvise effectively in
the absence of stuff on the screen to click on and the presentation limped painfully
on for about 15 minutes before ending rather prematurely.

This is the Sacramento's 5th Amiwest, but my first. I used
frequent flyer miles to get a free flight to San Francisco, from there
I took trains through scenic northern California to Sacramento where I
took a taxi to the Holiday Inn. On Monday I rent a car and head to Reno,
later Yosemite, but for now the Amiga scene is on my mind. This is
supposed to be the biggest Amiga-oriented convention in the USA but we'll

Geizkragen community letter reports about Tales of Tamar
Here the according extract from the Geizkragen community letter:
»[..c..] Becoming tester and get an online strategy game for free...
A tip for fantasy fans, no doubt. Currently only for Amiga users in autumn
there will come a PC version of the online strategy game
"Tales of Tamar" to the shops. All important game options are included in
the PC version of the game already, but to get the game as bugfree as possible there are still
game testers required. As player you will get a small Middle Age country assigned which should be enlarged by
clever usage of strategy, diplomacy or even war. In one game there can be a maximum of 12000 players.
To download the game free of charge you have to register the form at the Tamar homepage.
Further information and registering

The Amiga celebrates its 18th birthday
Today, after a lot of heights and downs, the Amiga celebrates its 18th birthday.
On July the 23rd 1985 in New York the premiere celebrations of the
Amiga 1000 was held with attendance of several stars like Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry.
The multimedia wonder by Commodore with its incredible graphic and sound capabilities for that time
was to set a milestone within the computer history.
Happy Birthday to you being to age, Amiga!

Fortnightly Q&A's with Fleecy Moss - episode 15
The English online magazine AmigaWorld has published episode 15 of the regular questions and answers session with Fleecy Moss, CTO at AMIGA, Inc. (Update 2012-03-15, cg: as the original document is no longer available, the following content was moved into our database):
1) amif1team: How about support for Russian and Ukrainian Amiga users? Do you support the Russian Amiga dealer 'Amiga Line' or do you have any other future plans to sell AmigaOne hardware in Russia and the Ukraine?
Fleecy: We have Russian and Ukranian language drivers in AmigaOS4.0 and although the Russian team seems to have disbanded, we have been told another is being formed.
The new Amiga Power Platform website will provide a forum for Amiga users and we will work with the ATO to make sure that it supports languages other than English. Our aim is to be able to work with local groups and dealers since they know their areas and markets far better than we do.
We are happy to sell AmigaOS and Amiga certified hardware such as the AmigaOne anywhere. The dealer you mention can send me a private email and I will try to get him/her set up.
2) Mojo-kun: AmigaOS needs modern applications. There is lots of very good free software which could be ported to AmigaOS if it had POSIX compatibility and some common GUI toolkits such as QT, GTK+ or GNU Step. What do you think of this and is an effort being made to support these technologies?
Fleecy: A great platform needs great applications. Our aim is to support and encourage the development of new applications on our platform so that we start to develop a unique and appealing software base that offers something over the other platforms.
Having said that, new applications take time and resources. AmigaOS4.0 will start off with a lot of older Amiga Generation 1 applications that are emulated, most of which are in serious need of updating. To increase the amount of AmigaOS4 specific software we have been looking closely at what is needed and what can be moved quickly from other platforms, such as Windows and Linux.
A strategy is underway to make such porting easier but, at the same time, we have to be careful not to turn AmigaOS4 into something else. POSIX, for example was created for very specific reasons, reasons that don't map one hundred percent onto the AmigaOS.
3) Turbo: According to the original Amiga One Zico Specification, several AmigaDE friendly processor types were to be supported. Are there still plans for a future Amiga OS to support x86? Is the future replacement for Amiga OS4.x coded on top of intent or is this going to be rehashed to run exclusively on a 64bit G5?
Fleecy: Our plan is still to make AmigaOS5 processor agnostic so eventually it will run on x86 but this is some time off, and would mark the completion of the Amiga Generation 2 project.
It will not be built on top of Intent. Intent will reside within the AmigaOS as a service, providing Amiga Anywhere and Java support.
The 64 bit AmigaOS implementation has always been a target, since we will be able to implement orthogonal persistence much more easily than on a 32 bit platform. There are still a lot of issues to sort out first however.
4) Yellow: I have Party Pack. I'm planning to buy AmigaOne with the latest AmigaOS perhaps after a year. Can I safely assume that I will get the $100 refund then? Does it matter what kind of AmigaOne model I buy; if there someday exists an AmigaOne model that uses 64-bit PPC processor, can one get the refund for buying that?
Fleecy: The voucher scheme is refundable against an AmigaOne (which is the Amiga certified Eyetech board and an OEM copy of AmigaOS that runs natively on it) so if you buy it a year after it comes out, then yes, you can claim the refund. The exact mechanism is still being discussed between ourselves and participating dealers but it will have to be in place before AmigaOS4.0 ships.
I don't see why it can't be used against a 64 bit Amiga but that is some time off.
5) alx: If you went back in time to before the A1/OS4 project began, what things would you have done differently and why?
Fleecy: I'd have put $1000 on the winner of the Grand National and I wouldn't have wasted $10 to see The Phantom Menace ;-)
With hindsight, we'd have started the AmigaOS4.0 project straight away, running it in parallel with the AmigaDE project. I also wouldn't have wasted 9 months trying to bring the various factions together for the sake of unity.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing though.
6) Samurai_Crow: What affect does Tao Group's release of Intent 2 have on the AmigaDE platform and the general plans for the future?
Fleecy: As with every revision of Intent, we assess it, move the AmigaDE code to it and then help the developers to move their content to it. We are both committed to creating a better and better product set and seeing both Intent and the AmigaDE and its content on more devices and in more markets.
7) Agafaster: Can we have a PPC Linux version of Amiga DE? Pretty please?
Fleecy: The first version of the AmigaDE on PPC will be for AmigaOS4. This has been stated publicly from the very beginning - AmigaOS first, then OS X and then any other opportunities that make business sense.
8) Asemoon: Some time ago Amiga's CEO demonstrated AmigaDE's 2D scaling abilities for TechTV. When available for AmigaOS will the users be able to open AmigaDE software in seperate user defined screenmodes? (Screens various resolutions, instead of just running on the desktop as demonstrated on Windows/Linux)
Fleecy: Yes.
9) Asemoon: The AmigaOne-lite is said to become an entry-level Amiga solution. Are there any plans for an A1200/A500-style or similar custom case for housing the AmigaOne-lite motherboard?
Fleecy: There are plans yes but plans aren't products until you can buy them. A few third parties have also contacted us about creating their own case designs so expect to see quite a bit of choice.
10) unclecurio: In a previous Q&A, you mentioned you were looking at the way Apple had used the audio units system in OSX. Can you tell us a little more about how the Amiga solution might operate?
Fleecy: The AG2 audio solution actually started life way back when the AmigaDE was going to replace AmigaOS, quite some time before the OS X audio system became public knowledge. Reading the Core Audio documentation made us smile quite a bit.
Once we decided that AmigaDE and AmigaOS would address different markets, this solution was retargeted at the AmigaOS.
The AG2 audio project uses elements called 'streamers' which are similar to Core Audio's 'audio units'. They can perform filter-like tasks like effect processing, format conversion, stream encoding/decoding, mixing or I/O related tasks like streaming a file from/to disk or network.
To make a distinction between streamers of different applications, streamers belong to a certain 'Audio Context'. Of course there can be communication and data flow between several contexts, so the audio output of one application (for example a software sampler) can be routed to the input of another application (for instance, a multi-track program).
There will be specific higher-level streamers to accomodate for games, to make use of DSP's for example, without the need for the programmer to program them directly. The goals of the architecture are to make use of multi-channel audio, DSP's, multiple CPU's, etc. when they are available and to make sure a lowest possible level of latency can be acquired by means of a Quality of Service system.

Genesi: Statement on Pegasos II/III and company strategy
SuperBundle Sunday! :-D
Good work Targhan!
In honor of the eve of the first SuperBundle Sunday we will just post this message here!
Why the Dell not?!
1. We started with the Pegasos by attracting smart computer users. We have found that "Geeks" who are creative and innovative work miracles. Just have a look at the weekly releases and activities report here and on the other sites. Further, by promoting the Pegasos as a multiple OS machine we opened ourselves to even broader based attention. Many special computer people appreciate this and are developing a number of very interesting applications for the Pegasos. The Summer Promotion and the Betatester Blowout were part of that strategy. Of course, the SuperBundle is too. The idea is to build a "Community" of active, enthusiastic users who have an interest in advancing the platform. Now that we have Pegasos machines in 34 countries, well over 200 MorphOS developers registered at MDC, and a framework for third-party and alternate OS involvement through Phoenix, we can begin to consider the next steps.
2. As mentioned before, we will do our best to take advantage of the Linux wave. We are definitely poised to do that here in Europe. We are positioning the platform as a non-west-coast-USA product. That has a broad appeal here. Look at the recent success of SuSE in Munich. Things are changing. For example, by the end of 2005, the French Government has mandated that no Windows OS can be used by any local government. In Spain, there is an even broader Linux move afoot. There is definitely an opportunity coming. Outside of Europe, a couple of weeks ago at the Developing World Conference hosted by the World Bank and the UN, one of the key issues/conclusions was that building an IT infrastructure based on Linux was key toward the establishment of stable societies in Africa. Worldwide, the "education" market will also be big. Enough about that.
3. We hope to have QNX running fully on the Pegasos soon. It is partially working already. We expect to see a commercial package later this year and hope the good folks at QNX will fully support our developing relationship. This addresses the embedded market.
4. In the meanwhile, MorphOS continues to improve. Have you visited http://mdc.morphos.net lately? We are definitely creating a community there. :-) We also have a third party developer site picking up some steam at www.phinixi.com. The foundation for the future is being set.
5. This brings us to the whole Pegasos II/G4 discussion. To serve the markets mentioned above we need to have a dual approach. First, we need a basic system and second we need a "Geek" machine -- a SuperGeekTweak if you will. The Pegasos II G3 will sufficiently provide the gist for all the "basic" market capability we need. Can the G4 do the rest? Last week we decided it could not. The incremental difference in performance and efficiency did not warrant the investment we had intended to make. Frankly, the G4 works and we will make some, but the investment required does not correspond to the performance gained. This is why we let the information slip into the thread about the Pegasos III and the 970. With the 970 we can see the potential.
The information above highlights our ongoing, generally known intentions. As we do not have the overhead of a big company, it is not terribly difficult to do all that. Plus, our costs are further lower because we own or control everything internally (IP, production, etc.).
Now, what remains the ultimate objective? Why are we doing all of this?
Please remember, we have always said that first and foremost the Pegasos is a development platform. The ultimate target is the digital terrestrial/satellite television STB market. "Target" here means potential customers. Do not confuse what we want to offer them with what they have today. This is not a SetPal box (for those in the UK) -- it is MUCH more. We will offer two tiers -- basic (receiver plus a little extra functionality) and Super (bundled with a broadband ISP connection and ALOT of extra functionality). The market here in Europe is estimated by more than a few sources at over $2.5 billion in the next four to five years. MorphOS is "lite" and can lower our memory and comparative CPU costs against the competition. We do not pay royalties for its use either. Further, please notice that the PPC is the state of the art in this market space. We expect our first BIG customer to travel with us to IBM in Ny to help us negotiate CPU prices down for vo
lumes over 1 million units. This STB WILL BE a computer and in fact could also be at the higher end the home server that is connected 24/7 and uses WIFI to communicate with everything in the "digital home." We really are talking about something revolutionary. It is not just a STB; it is a whole new kind of computer that integrates many different sources of data into one focal point for distribution on demand and as required. It really is something new.
#1 Rule of Marketing: offer people what they have already, just give them something better, more convenient, improve their life, etc.
We hope the Community we are gathering here can understand the potential we are discussing. One day not too far away analogue television signals will cease. The transition to digital will be fast in commercial terms. Everyone will need a receiver. The DVB standard has been broadly accepted in Europe and like GSM was to mobile telephones vis-à-vis the rest of the world, DVB will provide the same opportunity to this market here in Europe first (Australia and NZ too ;-) ).
The Pegasos as a computer will continue to march ahead, but the business plan in Genesi's future is about a multi-functional device that uses the internet and digital television signals to open up a whole new world of possibilities.
Now having said all that, a word about Press Releases and "professional" business behavior. We are accused of not be "professional" and even being "childish" by some of our more stern tormenters. We think they miss the point. What we are doing here is trying to build a broad and interesting mix of people that despite their different languages and cultures they share a common interest in the future we are trying to create. We cannot build a comfortable participative environment if we are not involved ourselves. This is not a "business" yet. We do not make money on the Pegasos or MorphOS. There are no profits. We do not need to hide behind Press Releases. We are here mucking around just like everyone else! We are not a public company. We are trying to cultivate something different. All the effort so far is still about creating something, which is why we feel like we need to be present and involved in mailing lists and Forums, and w
hy we do our best to answer the emails we receive. This is also why we freely communicate our difficulties. We want to "share" the creative process with as many of you who want to be involved. We are not following a strict execution plan. We are following a light not a railroad track.
For example, here is the latest challenge -- as of today, Marvell will not even certify their own G4 development board. They are expected to. We have been expecting them to do so for a few months. They have not. What to do? Now if we are all in this together, you will consider the actions we are taking to be quite admirable. If on the other hand your intentions are not constructive (why are you reading this?), you might have another reaction...
Thomas and Gerald of bplan with the full knowledge and understanding of Marvell will remove the G3 from a Marvell development board and replace it with a G4. We will do the northbridge testing ourselves. We are pretty proud of their ability to do that...:-) That means we will still have the Pegasos II ready in September. Nevertheless, we will sell it in exactly the same manner we did the Betatester machines in September 2002. Our focus will be developers and interested users with a bigger focus on other Operating Systems. In the meanwhile, the STB project marches along. You can see the prototype at the new bplan offices in Oberursel if you call ahead.
The SuperBundle and the Pegasos I G4 will be our focus at AmiWest and we look forward to participating. We just thought we would share a few thoughts beforehand to make the whole thing a bit more interesting. And yes, we have made more than a few of the G4 Pegasos I. We will showing them at AmiWest and getting these out after the Show.
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

File Manager: DiskMaster Version 2.5.23
Rudolph Riedel has released version 2.5.23 of his file manager and put it up for download (title link) on his homepage.
This time there's a version compiled with GCC as well as a version compiled for Amithlon. Owing to the Amithlon license Rudolph Riedel could not test the latter.
The most important changes in brief:
2.5.23 (2003-07-17) 74096 Bytes
- New version numbering - the next full version will be 2.6.
- Many little changes have been made to DM2, in order to make it compliable with GCC, VBCC and GCC for Amithlon -> portability.
- IRQ Server has been replaced with timer.device code -> portability.
- Mistake correcting.
Rudolph Riedel: "I allowed myself to issue a call for
donations
on the Internet. I would love to support the AmigaOS in the future, but my A1200 is really not suited for this anymore and I really don't have the spare cash for a better Amiga. I guess I have more motivation than credit..."

Next we draw your attention to a new game titled "Eve Online - The Second Genesis."
Here
is a review in which you may get an idea of how in-depth the game is, and how it is played.
Further, DoM of Team Legacy explains: "In the meantime there are two sorts of updates. A master update, which has broadened into more than 600 games, and an incremental update. The latter is to accomodate everyday-type changes.
Our regular guests certainly have noticed by now that support has been slow new steps: Betatesters can already use all the new functions. All other visitors can use some of them. In the background I'm working under intense pressure on new functions which will move some functions into the live database, including email notifications when something is taken over."
