Finnish Amiga Users Group's Meeting Showed AmigaOne and Pegasos FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Finnish Amiga Users Group's Meeting Showed AmigaOne and Pegasos OULU, FINLAND - October 7th, 2002 - Finnish Amiga Users Group's annual meeting was held in Oulu, Finland on September 28th, 2002. The meeting was visited by some 60 people and this well exceeded last years visitor count. This didn't come as a surprise, even though the location was a bit remote for people living in the more populated south of Finland. After all, the users group had a lot more to show this year. Travelling all the way from Holland, Sharwin and Rakesh Raghoebardayal of Coyote Flux/Thendic France, were there to demonstrate MorphOS on the Pegasos. This was the first public demonstration of Pegasos in Finland. Sharwin and Rakesh spent the entire afternoon showing off the speed and capabilities of their machine. Impressive demonstrations included J Miner, a photogrammetry software that created 3D images out of 2D photographs, and various features of MorphOS and emulation software. Also on hand to discuss their work on MorphOS were the Finnish developers and long-time Amiga enthusiasts Teemu Suikki and Harry Sintonen. They travelled quite a distance as well, paid by Thendic France. Tomi Ollila of the original AmiTCP group was also present at the venue. Discussions about computer technology, operating systems and life in general were rampant throughout the day. Finnish Amiga Users Group offered free refreshments to all visitors, and some of the people went on to continue the discussions at a dinner later that night. Gentle Eye Ky, the only active Amiga dealer in Finland, was also present with some of their inventory and two interesting pieces of new technology. The AmigaOneG3-SE and a prototype AmigaOne-XE motherboards were on display. Unfortunately the AmigaOneG3-SE had no working BIOS and the AmigaOne-XE, which was all ready to go and hooked up, didn't boot Linux all the way. This may be due to a configuration error or the fact that it was only a prototype. It was interesting to see AmigaOne there anyway. Finnish Amiga Users Group also held their official annual meeting and the club is moving ahead with the help of new people and new ideas - although more input and involvement is always welcome. The event was covered on the Internet via IRC, a Shoutcast audio connection, digital photography and a webcam. Unfortunately technical problems delayed these services quite a bit. More photographs and notes from the meeting will be made available via the users group website (http://saku.amigafin.org) and the Saku e-zine. Finnish Amiga Users Group is interested in showcasing all progress made in the extended Amiga community. In addition to the above-mentioned people, Amiga Inc. was also invited to participate. We were frequently asked about this by our members and visitors, but unfortunately Amiga Inc. did not respond to emails from group officials this time. We hope to display AmigaDE and other products from Amiga in the future, like we did last year with our demonstartions of the Party Pack and the AmigaDE Player. If you or your company are interested in getting in touch with Finnish Amiga users, please contact the chairman of the Finnish Amiga Users Group, Anu Seilonen, at thoriel@sci.fi to organize something. You do not have to come here in person, we are happy to demonstrate products for you at our meetings. Finnish Amiga Users Group is operated by volunteers interested in supporting a common hobby, so our services are usually free of charge. The Finnish Amiga Users Group would like to extend its warmest thank you to those who supported our meeting and made it a truly memorable event. We look forward to bringing together like-minded computer hobbyists in the future as well. About Finnish Amiga Users Group Finnish Amiga Users Group (officially Suomen Amiga-käyttäjät ry.) is a registered, non-profit organization dedicated to helping Finnish Amiga computer users by preserving and advancing the Amiga hobby and knowledge of the Amiga computing platform in Finland. The group aims to reach its goals through volunteer efforts such as organizing events and publishing an e-zine called Saku. (ps) [News message: 07.

Official Amiga and Retro Computing 2002 Website on-line Today the official website for the German Amiga exhibition of this year is on-line. Jens Schönfeld of Individual Computer organizes this fair, which will take place on 7th and 8th December 2002 in the Eurogress Aachen. Thus Schönfeld breaks the good old tradition to let the exhibition take place in Cologne but Aachen is a city worth seeing, and the proximity to the Benelux countries is reliably a large advantage. Refrained from it the organizer gets ready to break with another tradition since he would like to turn around the trend of the last years after, and attract more visitor than before. The current website is only a preversion of the final one. It will be filled up with contnent bit by bit. (ps) (Translation: sk) [News message: 07.

Mediator: PatchInt V1.2 (3rd release) Already on 3rd October 2002, Matthew Allatt has released version 1.2 (3rd release) of 'PatchInt' for the PCI board 'Mediator' from Elbox. The tool gets rid of the lockups which occur with various sound, ethernet, serial and other PCI boards. This update should fix the sound distortion which occurred with the SoundBlaster after some time of playback. Matthew Allatt writes on this: "I'd just like to let you all know that I've finished a new version of PatchInt..." - "I found that when using PatchInt, and playing tunes through the SoundBlaster card, the sound would become distored after a while. Others have reported this to me as well, so, having found some time, I've written a new version which should hopefully fix this."

Amiga Society: Schlachtfeld page updated and Status From the Amiga Society site: "The Schlachtfeld page has received a new design. The contents is not that far yet, but the first graphics for a second level can already be seen. Over the next weeks, some submenus etc. will be added to the page and some more information will be provided. Possibly the page will also get its own domain soon. We still hope to have at least a beta of Phase I (with the old graphics) until the show in December. According to current estimation of the situation, Phase I will probably not get over the beta stage. The graphics of Phase II have advanced that much already that a parallel development of code and graphics is beginning to make sense." (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 06.

MIDI: Amiga version of 'Aseq' frozen aseq writes: "Part of my Amiga hardware died (bvision, perhaps more) so I have to freeze development of the Amiga version of a midi and audio sequencer called Aseq (www.aseq.de). On a brighter side ;-) I can now spend more time on porting it to QNX, Macintosh and Linux. A version for Pegasos-Morhpos has been planned, but seeing as I can not yet even afford to replace Amiga hardware it will be a while. In case you care about dead Amiga hardware, I am using an A1200 with ppc card and bvision, the system is not showing up any image through the gfx card and I have no way of detecting if the ppc card is working, but I assume it is as the system will boot normally from floppy. Not from hd though, a gfx card related thing in the startup may very well screw up, or blizkick, which could mean the ppc card IS dead (also) after all." (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 06.

USB-driver: New version of Poseidon version 1.31 Chris Hodges writes: Dear Poseidon users, during these gray autumn days, just when you seem lonely and sad, and all seems dull and dark, waiting for new things to appear, there is this small light on this virtual planet. This location for recovering happiness is called http://www.platon42.de/poseidon.html That's the place, where you can download the latest, mindboggingly cheerful update of Poseidon. And no, it's not Christmas just yet. Therefore, the only new things you will get are more GUI's to play with (and I know you love to play with the settings ;) ) and the ability to finally mount RDB Amiga partitions automatically! But the good news does not stop here, no, you can even boot from RDB partitions now (and using boot95 from the fat95 package, you probably also can boot from FAT formatted media, if you prefer). Sounds good, eh? For the people that cannot wait for the HID class to pop up, there is a new experimental wheelmouse mode in the bootmouse which supports a horizontal wheel on some mice. But be sure to have MUIWheelPatch installed! Don't be disappointed, if it doesn't work with your mouse, it's just a quick hack that works with one wheel mouse I've got here, but not with the other (because it doesn't send wheel information in boot protocol). There is also something new, but this will be published in a seperate press statement. So enjoy the new stuff, and wait what happens next. Changelog ~~~ poseidon.library 1.31
