08.Mar.2004 Richard Drummond (ANF) |
UAE-0.8.25-20040302 released Richard Drummond has released UAE-0.8.25-20040302. This is a bug-fix release and corrects several problems with the SCSI emulation. It also enables support for SCSI emulation on Mac OS X and BeOS (although, due to restrictions inherent in OS X, this will currently only work with CD/DVD writers - not ordinary read-only devices). Updated binaries for Linux (x86 and PPC), Mac OS X and BeOS will be available for download shortly. A new binary for AmigaOS has been delayed, but should be ready (with some Amiga-specific updates) by the middle of next week. (snx) [News message: 08.

MorphOS 1.5 beta shown in Bremen As MorphOS-News.de reports has a beta version of MorphOS 1.5 been shown on the "Video- und Computerbörse" in Bremen. As Jakub Kassim reported you could see the new 3D hardware drivers for the Radeon 7000, 7500 as well as for the VE in Action and for example play Heretic II in a resolution of 1024 x 768. The drivers worked already good though they aren't completely finished respectively optimized yet. Besides that has the preferences system been revised and does now contain among other things setting possibilities for screen savers and more mouse options. (snx) (Translation: wk) [News message: 06.

Patch: domains with special characters on Amiga Cyborg wrote: Hi, on the FTP server of benderirc.de there's a TCP/IP patch (8 KB) for alle TCP/IP stacks for the Amiga. The patch has been tested with Miami on a 68040 Amiga under AmigaOS 3.1. The patch allows all programs to use ISO strings, for example "sfbücher.de", without having to convert them into the IDN spelling "xn--sfbcher-p2a.de". Example: > ping sfbücher.de PING xn--sfbcher-p2a.de (212.162.56.70): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 212.162.56.70: icmp_seq=0 ttl=54 time=59.093 ms 64 bytes from 212.162.56.70: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=57.98 ms 64 bytes from 212.162.56.70: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=56.614 ms --- xn--sfbcher-p2a.de ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 56.614/57.895/59.093 ms As you can see does the miamiping even recognize the "xn--" spelling and shows it without the program ever get to know this at all! It is really unpatched! Unfortunately this doesn't work with web browsers as it should but this is because of the browsers and not because of the patch (the reason is described in the readme file). In short: AWeb for example does show the IDN spelling but uses the ISO way with the vhost. This does the Apache-WebServer not know and the page can't be found. For sfbücher.de I have made this possible. Therefore here's a call to the IBrowse & AWeb teams to adapt their routines. The ping shows that it's possible (how is written again in the readme file). YAM and SimpleMail have the same problem on another level but that could be solved the same way. To make the thing with IDN easier in the future I'll soon make an IDN library available for converting. The patch archive contains an IDNA converter ISO->PUNYCODE. This way you can provide the browser with the correct name in the meantime. > netstat Active Internet connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 12 amiga.1026 xn--sfbcher-p2a..ftp ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 amiga.1025 irc.phat-net.de.ircd ESTABLISHED udp 0 0 amiga.netbios- *.* udp 0 0 amiga.netbios- *.* (snx) (Translation: wk) [News message: 06.

OctaMED SoundStudio V2: OS4 version announced After the appearing of a quoting from the mailing list for the program OctaMED SoundStudio V2 on ANN confirmed the author Gerd Frank that there will indeed come a PPC/AHI version for AmigaOS4. Tests and support for a MorphOS version, though, aren't possible for him because of the lack of hardware because he didn't receive a Pegasos from Genesi despite an agreement with Genesi in summer last year.

John C. Dvorak's article about MorphOS released in the "PC Magazine" In the US-American PC Magazine wrote the columnist and TV presenter John C. Dvorak an article about MorphOS. In his positive description of the operating system Dvorak talked about the developers having morphed the architectur of the AmigaOS - maybe the best code ever used on a desktop computer - in the truest sense to adapt it to the PowerPC. The Pegasos by Genesi also got a brief mention. After a short paragraph about CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform) and Apple's temporary license for clone manufacturer the author comes to the USB compatibility of MorphOS, mentions the micro kernel "Quark" and touches on the A and Q-Box of the operating system. Regarding the chances of this newcomer Dvorak talks about the enthusiasm of the MorphOS community and points out the formerly by Nintendo and Sega dominated consoles market that did also change in a serious way. He ends his article with a summary of the career of the "unbelievably hot computer" the Amiga once had been and his opinion that this time - here MorphOS is meant - may well go better. The URL for MorphOS.net finishes the article. (snx) (Translation: wk) [News message: 06. Mar. 2004, 11:16] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

ArakAttack: USB support for Prometheus may be possible Thanks to the latest information on the Prometheus PCI interface it was possible to add native support to the ArakAttack USB driver. It was possible to work around the missing memory conversion routine, so there is a good chance USB will be possible on Prometheus hardware. At http://www.vmc.de/amithlon/swr you'll find a debug version with prometheus support. This version is checking the API only. No USB functions this time. Please read the included readme for further information on how you can help making USB and other drivers possible on your system. Please install the latest prometheus.library and Poseidon V2.2. There is no need to insert an USB card, because it's only a function test. (snx) [News message: 06. Mar. 2004, 07:37] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |
