Kickflash OS4: Final product specifications
Due to the high demand, Kickflash OS4, which has been announced on June 2nd, has been revised. The base version now has 1MB of flash memory, and can be expanded to 1GB on an expansion port. Transfer rates can be compared to normal hard drives, but the common access times of mechanical mass-storage media practically don't exist on flash memory: On random access, so-called solid-state memory is about tenthousand times faster than common hard drives.

Kickflash OS4 is a Zorro-card that's compatible with all Zorro-2 and Zorro-3 systems. The new base price for the board is 34,90 EUR. Prices for expansions are not yet available. (ps)

Bjorn Lynne (E-Mail)


Music: Bjorn Lynne - Under The Bard's Tree
Bjorn Lynne by the CD label 'LynneMusic' is pleased to announce the release of the new audio CD "Under The Bard's Tree". Read with the following the original message:

A new track: "Under The Bard's Tree"
Dear friends...

I have a new music track, just finishexd this week and now available to download in mp3 format: "Under The Bard's Tree": http://www.mp3.com/bjornlynne.

The track is from my next CD, "Return to Witchwood", which is now 95% ready, and only a few minor adjustments remain. This CD will be my next "big" project and I really can't wait for it to be finished and released. It's been 1 year and 3 months since the release of my previous Bjorn Lynne CD, "Colony".

I made two different mixes of "Under The Bard's Tree", probably only one of them will be used on the CD album, "Return to Witchwood". I haven't fully decided which one. So I've made a kind of "voting" thing on my Message Board where I'd like you to come in and "vote" for the version of the song that you like best. I'm not saying I will definitely choose the most voted for version, but that may at least sway my decision.

So if you would like to listen to both versions of the track, from http://www.mp3.com/bjornlynne and then cast your vote for the version that you like best at http://www.lynnemusic.com/messageboard.html, that would be helpful. Thanks! (ps) (Translation: ub)

IBM / Linux Kernel Mailing List (ANF)


Linux-compatible 64Bit-operating system K42 from IBM for PPC
K42 is a operating-system research project (available under LGPL) focused in large part on scalability in the implementation of core OS services. We will give a brief overview of the project, discuss some of the recent performance results running 64-bit PPC Linux binaries and discuss the major ways that our implementation of Linux services depart from the norm (hopefully making sure to bring up all the truly offensive and contentious ways).

K42 employs building-block technology to allow applications to customize and thus optimize the OS services they require. This is particularly important for applications, such as databases and web servers, where given the ability to control physical resources, they can improve performance. K42 is portable; it currently runs on PowerPC systems (both native and using SimOS). K42's design allows implementors on a particular architecture to choose what objects of the system should be customized for that architecture, and as a result allows the implementors to exploit any architecture specific features to improve performance.

AmiWest 2003: Pegasos flies westwards
Yes! Pegasos is flying west, and for the first time at a major American Amiga show, the Pegasos will be available for users to get a first hand look at what MorphOS on the Pegasos is all about. With at least five Pegasos computers at the Genesi booth, everyone can be assured a turn at taking a Pegasos out for a test flight.

At the 2003 version of AmiWest, YOU can get YOUR hands on the Pegasos, a tangable successor to our community's platform of choice. See first hand the MUI3.9 PPC integration into your OS experience, feel the power of a PPC processor pushing both classic and new applications, and experience the transformation in our community. You've seen the forums, read the contriversies, and watched the flak fly. At AmiWest, however, there will be no smokescreen thick enough to come between your curiosity and the Pegasos running MorphOS. See the PEGASOS first hand at AmiWest.

Just in: MorphOS 1.4 with the Trance JIT for MorphOS will be released in time for AmiWest! (nba) (Translation: sk)
