Zune - Open Source Reimplementation of MUI Zune is a project to reimplement Stefan Stuntz' MUI as Open Source. To achieve this, the project makes use of the API and the freely redistributable includes of the MUI SDK only. The project is based on the LPGL. Currently Zune is developed under Linux. It is however planned to be portable to other Unixes and, if possible, more or less easily portable for Windows and BeOS. The project is 20% finished. This includes a good dozen key classes like Notify, Window, Group, Area, Text, Image and the dynamic loading of classes as well as other features. The current source code can be downloaded as tgz archive from the homepage. On this page, you can find some screenshots of the GUI system. A mailinglist is available from EGroups. Non-members have access to the archive, too. The list can be subscribed by sending an empty eMail to zune-subscribe@egroups.com or with the form on the bottom of the homepage. A CVS repository is planned, all participation is warmy welcomed. (ps) [News message: 05. Sep. 1999, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Saku 99: Petro Tyschtschenko about MCC and OS 3.5 Petro Tyschtschenko was unable to attend the Saku 1999 in Finland in person, but gave those present a short status report on development by phone, and made a point not to panic. Moreover, Petro Tyschtschenko said that he was not fired, and will have a meeting with the new President of Amiga soon. Additionally, he said that AmigaOS 3.5 will be shipped by end of September and that the MCC will appear, however the schedule might be delayed a little. More information about the meeting can be found at batman.jytol.fi/~saku/english/. A MP3 (5 MB) with the speech of Petro Tyschtschenko is available for download: saku99sp.mp3. (ps) [News message: 05.

FastATA'99 & AllegroCDFS new software for PowerFlyer controller ELBOX releases FastATA'99 version 4.x. FastATA'99 4.x is the fourth generation of the ATA/ATAPI controller software for ELBOX FastATA/PowerFlyer/Winner HighSpeed Controller for Amiga 1200: Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 23:15:36 +0200 From: Darek Dulian To: "Amiga-News.de" petra.struck@online-club.de Subject: FastATA'99 & AllegroCDFS new sofware for PowerFlyer Controller ELBOX Computer is proud to present FastATA'99 ver.4.x. FastATA'99 4.x is the fourth generation ATA/ATAPI control software for ELBOX FastATA/PowerFlyer/Winner HighSpeed Controllers for Amiga 1200. With this software the newest PowerFlyer/FastATA/Winner High Speed Controllers with new EIDE/UltraATA HHDs may reach over 10 MB/sec. (Sysinfo, DriveSpeed) and with new CD-ROM drives may exceed 7 MB/sec. >From FastATA'99 ver.4.0 on, controller users could choose between spliting HDD > 4 GB into 4 GB logical units or using DirectSCSI and TD64 commands. If you would like to receive e-mail updates of the software written for the PowerFlyer FastATA-2/EIDE Controller, please send a message to: support@elbox.com subject: subscribe FastATA'99 body: [your name], [your ATA3.driver version], [the serial number of your controller] If you have a controller version without AllegroCDFS, you may want to purchase it from: sales@powerc.demon.co.uk or sales@elbox.com or your local distributors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read more: THE FAST ATA-2/EIDE CONTROLLER In recent times, the extremely dynamic progress in the mass production technology of data storage media has resulted in a huge increase of their capacity and speed. It is especially apparent in the devices which make use of the FAST ATA-2/EIDE standard of communication with computers. Enhanced IDE is at present the most common controller standard for hard drives, CD-ROM drives, CD-RW drives, DVD drives, etc. The Amiga 1200 has a built-in hard disk controller in the IDE standard. However, only the PIO 0 mode of operation has been implemented in the Amiga 1200, which is the slowest of all PIO modes with a maximum transfer rate of about 3 MB/s. The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller idea has been based upon the assumption to fully use the currently produced devices in the FAST ATA-2/EIDE standard with their increased speed and capacity. The aim of this solution is to adapt the existing Amiga computer systems to the new, many times more effective devices, while retaining full compatibility with the existing software and hardware installed in the system. The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller has been designed to fit inside the Amiga 1200 in its standard casing or in any Tower-type casing. The controller works with two EIDE ports, which can accommodate up to four devices. Apart from the PIO 0 standard, necessary for booting up the Amiga computer from a hard disk and for accepting the oldest types of devices, the card also provides for fast PIO 3 and PIO 4 modes. THE FAST ATA-2/EIDE CONTROLLER FEATURES The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller with its many features represents the highest technology controller in its category. The following list describes some of these features: Fast transfer rate of up to 16.6 MB/s The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller with its maximum transfer rate of 16.6 MB/s in the PIO 4 mode offers a huge capacity reserve for fast mass storage devices, especially for fast hard drives. Therefore, applications may run much faster if they can count on fast access to large data files. Support of ATAPI standard devices The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller implements the ATAPI standard as well, for use with devices like CD-ROM drives, DVD drives, etc. This enables the connection of ATAPI-standard devices to the Amiga with no need for the installation of additional software. Two buffered and terminated EIDE ports The controller operates with two EIDE ports, which enable installation of up to four IDE/EIDE/ATAPI devices. Both controller ports are fully buffered and terminated in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the ATA-3 specification. Fully compatible with hard drives of over 4 GB capacity Limitations on the size of hard disks have been overcome in the FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller. The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller may be used with hard drives of over 4 GB capacity with no need to change the FastFileSystem used so far for file management. Automatically configured devices The Controller automatically recognises any devices attached to it, negotiates the highest possible data transfer rates, switches the devices into its appropriate mode and performs data transfers at their maximum transfer rates. Automatic recognition of the processor type The FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller automatically detects processor type used and optimises and modifies some software routines in order to achieve the highest possible data transfer rate between the controller and the computer memory. 32-bit access The computer recognises the controller as a 32-bit device configured in the address space of the previous IDE controller, which has been disconnected. Full 32-bit operation of the controller combined with very efficient software guarantees a significant increase in the speed of your computer. Other features of the FAST ATA-2/EIDE Controller: * 2 devices in different modes of operation (PIO 3 or PIO 4) may be connected simultaneously to each of the ports without speed reduction. * New mass storage data verification procedure free of ROM-based errors. * The software installation is performed automatically by the installation programme script found in the enclosed floppy disk.(ps) [News message: 03.

Digital Images suspending Amiga developmentReply-To: digital-images-news@egroups.com From: Stuart Walker To; digital-images-news@egroups.com Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 23:20:52 +0000 Subject: [digital-images-news] Digital Images Update To Amiga users worldwide, Due to recent announcements and problems with Amiga, Digital Images regrets that we will be suspending all AmigaMCC projects including Sabrina Offline. Space Station 3000 and Wipeout 2097 will be released as planned, but we will be suspending all other Amiga developments until further notice. Everyone behind Digital Images has enthusiastically supported the Amiga through the good times and the bad times. But with the recent troubles with Amiga, the entire team has unanimously decided to suspend all Amiga developments (with the exception of Space Station 3000 and Wipeout 2097). We regret to have to take these measures, but Digital Images cannot afford to spend time, resources and money developing for a computer which now, as it seems may never appear. We hope that everybody reading this understands our position as this is the last thing that any of us would ever have wanted to do, but Amiga have made promise after promise that something would appear, but it has not. We deeply regret this decision, but it is a final measure that has to be taken. We wish that we wouldn't have to go this far, but we now have no other option - it is the last thing that any of us wanted to do. We would appreciate it if everybody understood our position and wouldn't send e-mails of anger and abuse. We have done everything in our power to avoid this, but it just isn't possible. If the Amiga does indeed rise again, which we hope it does, we will return. We hope that you will enjoy our upcoming releases of Space Station 3000 and Wipeout 2097. If you do have any questions or queries concerning this announcement, please e-mail info@digital-images.demon.co.uk We thank you all once again for your loyal and devoted support. Kind Regards, Stuart Walker Digital Images(ps) [News message: 03. Sep. 1999, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Amiga News Since today, the English Amiga news page carries the following: Jim Collas has resigned. Allthough it is now officially confirmed on the Amiga pages that Collas has resigned, it seems it doesn't qualify for a statement on their own, since the link leads to Yahoo news. I simply can't find words for this. (ps) [News message: 03. Sep. 1999, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

CCC Press Release about MS Crypto API Backdoor Press Information from Chaos Computer Club Microsoft Operating Systems with builtin Backdoor: Secure cryptography with Windows jeopardized By detailed research with the WindowsNT operating system by an American Security Software developer, a massive software backdoor could be revealed in the operating systems Windows95, 98, NT and Windows 2000 (beta), which is likely dating back to an initiative by the US secret service NSA. This has a heavy impact on Microsoft's operating systems security. After the initiatives of the American secret service NSA (National Security Agency) for worldwide communications control by means of internationally standarised regulation of encryption have suffered severe setbacks, now obviously it is attempted to reach the same goals by implementing backdoors in the American software products dominating the market. (Rest of the press release at the title link.) I consider it a shame how US NSA (and German authorities, too!) violate the most basic civil rights "for the greater good". Even worse, they get away with spying on your eMail, your phone, your whatever, because they "are the good ones"... yeah, sure. (mb) (ps) [News message: 03.

03.Sep.1999 Kamil Iskra in c.s.a.p |
gcc 2.95.1 for AmigaOS Kamil Iskra has released the binaries of "gcc 2.95.1" for AmigaOS. They can be found on the GeekGadgets servers at amiga/m68k/alpha/misc/gcc-2.95.1-bin020.tgz (6.47 MB). They are compiled for 68020+ CPUs, and can be loaded residently. The sourcecodes are available by anonymous login from the GeekGadgets CVS server. With gcc version 2.95, the seperate branches of gcc and egcs are merged back together, so GeekGadgets again uses exclusively gcc. Improvements have been made e.g. in register handling, so the previously common "fixed or forbidden register was spilled" error should be less frequent with this version. More informations about gcc 2.95 are available at gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.95/features.html. (ps) [News message: 03. Sep. 1999, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Met@box: Informations about amiJoe1200 Some time ago, we asked Met@box about some info about the amiJoe1200 board, and recieved the following eMail by Thomas Rudloff: This is the latest Info, newer will surely surface in one or two weeks based on the latest developments. Up to 143 times as fast as an original Amiga(TM) 1200 (calculated by Motorola specifications at 333 MHz) That's the amiJoe... - the amiJoe1200 is the ideal CPU-expansion to bring the Amiga(TM) 1200 to the PowerPC(TM) era. This does the amiJoe1200 By using the powerful PPC750 (G3) CPU, the high-performance backside cache and the PCI bridge, the Amiga(TM) 1200 turns into a modern computer. Due to the integrated 68k emulation, current Amiga software stays usable, while PPC(TM) native programs can make use of the full speed advantage. The RAM expansion to up to 512 MB is done with PC66 SO-DIMMs common to the laptop scene. Of course, the amiJoe1200 has a real-time clock. (More information at the title link.) (ps) [News message: 03.
