Elbox: eFlash Memory for Amiga
Elbox Computer, the leading manufacturer of hardware for Amiga computers, is proud to announce two new products:
  • eFlash 4000 Zorro III card
  • eFlash 1200 PCMCIA card
eFlash 4000 is an autobooting Zorro III card with 1MB (one Megabyte) of FlashROM memory with extremely fast 32-bit long words access.

The on-board FlashROM allows storage of programs, which are run at the computer's boot-up process. This allows initialisation of PCI cards installed in Mediator-equipped A3000 and A4000 computers before the AmigaOS system starts. As a result, computer may be booted from mass storage devices connected through various PCI controllers e.g. Spider or Spider II USB 2.0 cards. The users of the new Amiga operating system--AmigaOS4.x--will have an additional benefit: the eFlash 4000 card will give them a possibility of definite shortening of the system's start time by executing the AmigaOS code from the FlashROM memory.

FlashROM memory installed in eFlash 4000 cards allows 100,000 erase/programming cycles as a minimum. The card is provided with hardware protection against unwanted or accidental reprogramming and with a hardware switch for selecting start of an alternative batch of programs stored in the eFlash 4000 memory.

eFlash 1200 is an autobooting PCMCIA card with 1MB (one Megabyte) of FlashROM memory. The on-board FlashROM allows storage of programs, which are run at the computer's boot-up process. This allows initialisation of PCI cards installed in Mediator-equipped A1200 computers before the AmigaOS system starts. As a result, the computer may be booted from mass devices connected through various PCI controllers e.g. Spider or Spider II USB 2.0 cards.

FlashROM memory installed in eFlash 1200 cards allows 100,000 erase/programming cycles as a minimum. The card is provided with hardware protection against unwanted or accidental reprogramming and with a hardware switch for selecting start of an alternative batch of programs stored in the eFlash 1200 memory.

Pricing and availability The eFlash 4000 Zorro III card will be on sale beginning with 15 July 2003 at the suggested retail price of only EUR 35.95 (VAT excl.). The eFlash 1200 PCMCIA card will be on sale beginning with 15 August 2003 at the suggested retail price of only EUR 29.95 (VAT excl.). (ps) (Translation: dr)

Demoscene selections done
Decisions have been made. The competition was so tight, the last two remaining Pegasos-system winners were elected by asking several people about their opinions. Sorry for the ones who were left out, there were many who would have deserved one, but we tried to make the best selections based on several things, past success and current activity being the most important ones.

The people who will get a loaned Pegasos and participate to the democompetition are:
  • Creative Minds
  • DCS
  • Floppy
  • Ephidrena
  • Haujobb
  • Iris
  • Loonies
  • MFX
  • Potion
  • TBL

AmiZilla Website gets a major update
The Amizilla site has been updated.
  • New! AmiZilla Mascot by Eric Schwartz now online. Thank you Eric for all the hard work and effort you put into designing her.
  • NEW! AmiZilla FAQ Update
  • NEW! Hot CoCo briefly announced. This project will kick off after AmiZilla is a success. Info about it is in the AmiZilla FAQ.
  • New! AmiZilla Guidelines, thank you Targhan for coming up with most of the AmiZilla guidelines.
  • New! Amiga Arena interview now on the AmiZilla website for easy reading.
  • New! AmiZilla Mailing List has over 119 members and over 120 messages. Messages are not about basket weaving they are about coding. Keep in mind this mailing list is less than 3 weeks old.
  • Booty now @ $3696.
    Keep in mind that the AmiZilla Project needs you to be successful. The booty is almost @ $4000 which is a nice amount of money. If only one programmer was working on the port this would be a nice reward. However several programmers are working together. Once money is split among coders the booty is not big enough. Please contribute if you can, every dollar helps motivate programmers to make the AmiZilla Project a success.


About AmiZilla
The goal of the AmiZilla effort is to raise such an obscene/huge amount of money to give away to the first programmer/team that can port Mozilla to Amiga/Compatible systems that programmers will be falling over themselves getting this application coded in record time.
