BoXer Board Status On the Anti-Gravity page there is a press release dated November, 29th 2000 concerning the BoXer mainboard. Current BoXeR prototype main-boards feature the emulated AGA chip-set on three single chips. The final revision will integrate the AGA into one single chip. The redesign has been completed and it is ready for build up. It is planned to make this board with one single AGA chip available for the AmigaActive magazine for testing purpose end of December. The distributor network is growing. According to the latest survey there are currently more than 500 distributors of the BoXer. Our employment survey also got great and worldwide response. Anit-Gravity is hoping to be able to contact everyone who replied to talk about possibilities to enable all of them to take part in developing this system. [News message: 09.

Open Source Campaign planning to create a Counsil The 'Campaign to Open Source the AmigaOS' campaign created by Steve Crietzman is making efforts to release the AmigaOS sources as open source. In recent times it has been quiet around this campaign. This was due to the fact that Crietzman had taken a longer break, because work had gotten to much to handle. Now he regrets to have been absent for so long without any explanation. The current plan involves the creation of a transition plan for the Open Amiga Foundation. Therefore they are looking for participants. Persons interested in this initiative might contact OpenAmiga@aol.com. [News message: 09.

AmigaOS 4.0 PPC theoretically possible In the IRC of the WOA 2000 Fleecy Moss of Amiga Inc. stated that AmigaOS 4.0 PPC is possible to be. Condition for this is that enough copies of AmigaOS V3.9 will be sold to show that there is a valuable market for this product. The required number of sold copies is 50,000. [News message: 09.

Mediator, G-Rex and P96 Several news have been released on the CyberGFX pages in the last few days. In the channel #amiga(irc.whiterose.net), a collaborator of Hyperion, voiced positively about the design of the Mediator board. To keep costs low the people from Elbox only use one logic chip which is used as many times as required. This way they have managed among otheres to create their PCI bus without having to use expensive Glue- chipsets from third party companies. «On #amiga (irc.whiterose.net) one of the guys from Hyperion was chatting about the design of the Mediator: "They've shown some really clever ways to keep their costs down in design, certainly.... All of their hardware consists of ONE logic chip which they use repeatedly, as many as necessary.", "They design all their own components, so no need to buy expensive external glue logic.", "Their PCI bus, for instance, is entirely their own implementation, no glue chip-sets from a 3rd party manufacturer.", "For instance there was a bug in the FastATA 4000 hardware, and they had to send out replacement chips to fix it. FPGA could just be reprogrammed.", FastATA 4000 is "EIDE controller for Z3. The ONLY one." "Umm it implements the fast ATA modes. like PIO-4, etc. So I get better performance out of IDE drives.", "Again, like all their other products, their IDE implementation is their own, using the same chip they use on all their products. :-) Pretty cool." "Well it also does PIO-5 but Z3 has trouble with it."» The vendors.txt has been updated on November, 25th 2000 updated. 18 new boards have been added respectively updated. There have been no particular changes related to the Mediator itself. Pictures about the G-Rex with 5 PCI slots, and about CyberGraphX running on a VooDoo4 4500 have been released.. About Picasso96 concerning Elbox there has been a new article released from the P96-Mailinglist. [News message: 09. Dec. 2000, 04:34] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

NSDi on AmiTCP/IP licensing and Genesis rights Press release: NSDi PRESS RELEASE 2000/12/08 22:45 EET, 21:45 CET, 20:45 UTC The Issue About AmiTCP/IP Licensing and GENESiS Publishing Rights: Since the World of Amiga (WOA) show begins tomorrow, Saturday, December 9th 2000 and Haage&Parther is expected to start selling their AmigaOS 3.9 and NSDi and Haage&Partner is not yet in agreement of the licensing of the AmiTCP/IP software, NSDi is forced to publish this information: Happened so far: AmiTCP/IP was licensed to be part of Amiga GENESiS Networking System with a license fee of $5 per AmiTCP/IP Copy. No later licensing agreement has been done between NSDi (The AmiTCP/IP Copyright Holder) and any AmiTCP/IP licensee. The latest moment any license payments for NSDi has been made January 1999, with amount of about EUR 4000. 1st quarter of year 2000 AmiTCP/IP source was provided for one of the GENESiS developer so he could add some missing features. At this time, however:
At fall 2000, without any prior notice to NSDi, publishing rights of GENESiS has been transferred to Haage&Partner. I (Tomi Ollila) at NSDi was informed this when the press release about 4 weeks after this has happened, was sent to one of the vaporware mailinglists. At that time, since such a radical change in GENESiS rights I asked our current licensee when our payments are due. I basically got an answer that there is no money since all has gone to publishing cost or lost when the company that made the CD:s went bankcrupty. That is an answer I could live with. I did not want our licensee to get into more trouble, as he had done so hard work with it. I just thought I then ask Haage&Partner that at a later time -- as publishing rights were transferred, all the licensing issues should have come with it. But, I also have an ordinary work -- with EUR 1000 one just cannot manage in modern western country very long -- I have been pretty busy working so I forgot to ask that just then. Note that that does not lessen our immaterial property rights of the software of ours: It is responsibility of the people who are going to sell the software further the figure out under what copyright the sofware is bound of. But, at the end of November 2000, I heard that Haage&Partner is going to include GENESiS in their forthcoming AmigaOS 3.9. The genesis package included AmiTCP/IP, and NSDi has had the previously mentioned licensing agreement effective with it. However, NSDi was never contacted of such an arrangement. I was forced to take a quick action: I sent an e-mail to Haage&Partner explaining the situation using quite strong words just to get attention. After a few e-mails sent back and forth, I was asked to make an offer with a fixed sum for unlimited use of the AmiTCP/IP software. I come first up with a market price of some TCP/IP stack I've heard, and that was EUR 15000. That was way too much what the Haage&Partner representative say they could handle. Since this was so close to the beginning of WOA and we don't have much time to negotiate (even it is not my fault that I did not know earlyer), I come up with much lesser price in my next e-mail... I sent that email yesterday morning, about 11 EET (10 CET, 9 UTC), and I have got no answer to that e-mail up to now. So, now we are in situation, where Haage&Partner does have publishing rights to GENESiS software, but has no license to sell the included AmiTCP/IP. It might be so, that Haage&Partner has been so busy that they have had no time to answer my latest proposition -- that I don't know. Anyway, If they start selling AmigaOS 3.9 with GENESiS and AmiTCP/IP included, they are selling unlicensed software. At the time being, we are still willing to come with AmiTCP/IP licensing agreement with Haage&Partner and therefore we don't want to forbid sales of AmigaOS 3.9 at WOA -- mainly since there is so many Amiga users who don't want to wait any longer before getting the new Amiga Operating System. Also, taking such a drastic move don't help our efforts to come with a positive end result in discussion with Haage&Partner. However, my unfortunate duty is to declare unlawful to sell products that contains AmiTCP/IP without valid licensing agreement with NSDi on other sales channels. At the time being, we continue licensing discussions with Haage&Partner to get the lisensing issue in order. We will keep the media informed of the progress of the discussion. If you have any supportive comments, critisim to throw, or some more information what I should know, please send e-mail to the address shown below. If there is doubt of the authenticity of this information, this text is also included in my homepage at http://www.iki.fi/too/amitcp.txt Tomi Ollila tomi.ollila@tfi.net (*) Network Solutions Development, Inc.

Specifications of the PowerPC mainboard bplan GmbH releases the specification of the dual G3/G4 microATX mainboard with codename PEGASOS. With its PEGASOS development pblan GmbH of Germany brings the unleashed PowerPC performance to the users. By using a modular system design, the mainboard could be easily user upgraded to the individual demands. With todays standard interfaces already designed onto the PEGASOS mainboard, the users will be able to easily connect standard components (like harddrives or CD Roms) and a wide range of high-end devices such as digital video cameras to the system. While PEGASOS itself is widely scaleable to the users needs, it's a easy task for retailers or OEMs to configure the system for their demands. By hitting the best price/performance point for the chosen configuration, systems starting with one CPU (at entry level) up to multi PPC G4 based cluster computers could be build using the same hardware. For technical details follow the title link. [News message: 08. Dec. 2000, 11:25] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

WoA 2000 I was shortly at the fair this morning to take some things there and to get a first impression. The Mediapark consists of several architectonically imposing buildings. The fair is held in the building Mediapark 7 (1st floor), while the seminars are held in the building Mediapark 6 (also 1st floor). The fair exhibitors are work like beavers on their booths and there's a bustle as in a beehive. Supplement: In a talk with Juergen Haage, I have learned that Fleecy Moss will attend the fair, too. If you come by car, here a little tip: A57 to Cologne-Centre, then follow "Innenstadt" until (very small) signs directing to the MediaPark appear. The entrance to the underground bypass is directly after the railway bridge. You drive from there either directly to the building or down into the underground car park MediaPark. At the "Cinedom", the entrance to the car park forks to the car park entrance and tunnel bypass. You can also park in the underground car park Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring. Have a good trip and until tomorrow :-). More driving tips. [News message: 08. Dec. 2000, 02:51] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |
