`22.Jun.2001` Matay	Matay news Warp3D Treiber for Voodoo3 Matay informs that the promised Warp3D drivers for Voodoo3 graphics cards on the PCI board Prometheus are in the works and has put some screenshots online. PPC for Prometheus As many people ask about CPU boards for the PCI board Prometheus, Matay gives the following statement: Matay is not going to produce the PPC card by itself. We will choose among the CPU solutions available at the market (not necessarily "Amiga native" only). It would take too much time and concern to produce such a card, time we can spend providing you with other Amiga-specifict products. Why to invent wheel again? The only problem to solve is software support to make the hardware cooperate with our PCI bridge. However, with the help of AmigaOS4 developers from Amiga Inc. it is not a problem at all. We will cooperate with them to make Prometheus+CPU card combo 100% compatible with the upcoming AmigaOS. We are not limiting our support to one CPU card only. You should view a CPU card expansion the same as - for example - a graphics card expansion. More than one solution is possible. The details will be announced after we finish talks with the CPU cards manufacturers. As we always state - no promises, only facts, so please be patient. In meanwhile, you can use Prometheus boards with the existing Amiga CPU cards. The software, i.e. AmigaOS4, will arrive later this year, so will our hardware to run it on.

`22.Jun.2001` Ray A. Akey (e-mail)	AMIGA Inc.: News from CEO Bill McEwen (Executive Update) Greetings To The Amiga Family: There have been some recent mis-representations that I have recently received about Amiga, Inc., and our office locations. Amiga is doing very well, and we are excited about the future of Amiga. The Amiga Family continues to grow with new partners, new products, and the very near release of AmigaDE 1.0. However with all of this activity there have been some out there who have recently sent out false information about Amiga, and I need to clarify this now. Amiga Incorporated is headquartered in Snoqualmie, Washington USA. Amiga Deutschland is still in business. We have only closed the Langen office. There are going to be some new additions, and a new office location announced in the next couple of weeks, but know now that Amiga International was a Gateway company, and was not and has not been associated with Amiga, Inc. since 1999. The dealer in Germany that is making claims that they are Amiga International is completely false, and Amiga Incorporated the parent company of Amiga Deutschland is going to take legal action against those who make these false claims. There is another dealer in India who has started claiming that they are Amiga in India. This again is also false. Amiga does NOT have any official representation in India outside of the Amiga dealers who are there. Amiga Incorporated is currently evaluating an office in India, and other countries where we do business. To those of you who continue to try and tear Amiga apart, it is time to stop. Amiga is moving forward, there are great things ahead, and for the first time in many years, the Amiga family will have new products, and choices. I look forward to a great year. Kindest regards, Bill McEwen (ps) [News message: 22. Jun. 2001, 00:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`22.Jun.2001` Soren Ladegaard (ANF)	de Volkskrant: "Tulip" reviving the Commodore brand? It's been reported in a Dutch national newspaper that computer company Tulip intend to bring the Commodore brand back to life in some capacity. Tulip spokesman J. van den Berg claims the company is simply responding to customer calls for Commodore. Whether this means some real Commodore hardware is on its way or all it is is simply a line of PCs with the Commodore logo slapped on the outside is still unclear, but Dutch readers will no doubt find this article very interesting...!
