Executive Update - Amiga Status Announcement
Bill McEwen - March 25, 2002
Greetings once again - To One and All:
Fresh from a fantastic showing at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Francisco,
where Amiga Anywhere wowed and amazed commentators, developers and potential
customers alike, I wanted to take the time to get the Amiga community caught
up on our flagship project, the AmigaOS.
Contrary to the nonsense that is being spread about by a few very noisy people,
the AmigaOS is more than alive and well and we have very exciting plans for
the future with more hardware designs and exciting new features. We have very
long term life and long term goals for this amazing product.
We look to the AmigaOS as the desktop solution and Amiga Anywhere as the embedded
solution for Cell Phones, PDA's, Set Top Boxes, Internet Appliances and some
other new products. When AmigaOS 5.0 hits the road then you will see these code
bases merging and the two worlds will allow the content to co-mingle and proliferate.
Another way to view this is that AmigaOS is for the Amiga Community whereas
Amiga Anywhere introduces Amiga to the rest of the world. It is then that they can join
us and be part of the Amiga community. It is all about market share
and the opportunity to further expand and grow the Amiga market and user base.
As you know, we took the strategic decision to outsource development of the
next generation hardware and compatible AmigaOS version. This was done to allow
us to concentrate on AmigaOS5, our long term goal, whilst also providing a compelling
and high performance path from AmigaOS3. What this does is give the Amiga community
a product that they can be proud of in the short and medium term.
The hardware contract was awarded to Eyetech Limited, of Stokesley, England,
and the software contract was awarded to Hyperion Entertainment, of Belgium.
Both companies have an impressive reputation for quality products and a deep
commitment to the Amiga, having played a major part in keeping the platform
going through the last five years.
These two contracts underlie the first new combined Amiga hardware and software
product in over 8 years; the AmigaOne, a product whose features and functions
were set after looking at the thousands of mails, articles and comments generated
by the community. A PowerPC (PPC) CPU was asked for and it was selected. The
ability to take advantage of the latest video and audio technology was demanded
and it was successively built in. USB support was talked about and we obliged.
A better filesystem, integrated TCP/IP and 3D, an enhanced Workbench; all have
been designed into AmigaOS4.
The excitement is growing. The AmigaOne is already running PPC Linux, AmigaOS4
is progressing rapidly on 68K Amigas equipped with PPC accelerators and integration
is currently underway. Orders for developer boards are already being taken and
many developers are working closely with the AmigaOS4 team to ensure that their
applications are optimized for the future.
It has been a long haul and there have been many bumps on the road. With the
world economy starting to move out of recession, and the success of Amiga Anywhere,
Amiga Inc is moving from strength to strength. It could not have been done without
the support and commitment of the Amiga community and we want the community
to know that we share its support and commitment to the success of both our
product lines, Amiga Anywhere and the AmigaOS.
Hardware Update
Last month, Fleecy Moss, CTO of Amiga Inc visited the headquarters of Eyetech
and spent a few hours with Eyetech management, engineers and their newest addition,
a PPC mother board that will be the at the heart of the AmigaOne. Running a
version of PPC Linux specially designed for it to permit evaluation, the board
and its peripherals performed flawlessly with the system being very responsive,
boding well for an optimised and efficient AmigaOS in the future.
The original hardware plan for the AmigaOne was to create two products, a motherboard
with an integrated A1200 interface, allowing for the first version of AmigaOS4
(4.0) to be completed quickly by still having access to the AA chipset, and
a second product, a standalone board that would work with the second version
of AmigaOS4 (4.2), which would be independent of the AA chipset.
Over the past 6 months, advances in hardware have meant that the second product
is actually going to be available before the first. As a result, the hardware
strategy has been updated. The AmigaOne will be built around a revision 1.5
motherboard. This board will be completely independent of the AA chipset and
will not need a connected A1200 in order to run AmigaOS4. There will be no motherboard
with an integrated A1200 connector. Instead, Eyetech are planning on developing
a PCI to A1200 product for those who wish to run older Amiga software that requires
direct access to the AA chipset. In effect, the A1200 will be like just another
graphics card plugged into the PCI bus of the AmigaOne.
Using this approach it is also technically feasible to use the PCI-cable interface
to connect to an A3/4000 via the CPU slot connector - and even to an A2000 via
a CPU pin header. These interface variations may follow later, depending on
demand.
The current hardware specification for the AmigaOne is as follows;
- CPU - any G3/G4 to the currently available speeds
- Memory - 2 133 MHz SDRAM slots for upto 2GB
- Graphics support - (2x AGP plus 66MHz PCI)
- Card expansion - 4 PCI slots
- Legacy Support
- FDD
- Serial
- Parallel
- PS2 keyboard and mouse
- Integrated Systems support
- 2 USB connectors plus 2 headers
- 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- AC97 (Audio)
- MC97 (Data/Fax/Modem)
- UDMA 100/ATAPI - 2 channels (4 devices)
Beginning on the 18th of March, developers and dealers can order developer
versions of the boards, allowing them to evaluate the product and to be prepared
for optimising their applications for AmigaOS4. To order a developer board,
please use Eyetech's
online shop.

AmigaOne pages.
Software Update
Hyperion Entertainment have assembled the cream of Amiga developers to work
on AmigaOS4.0, guaranteeing both high quality and high performance in the final
product and ensuring that AmigaOS4.0 and beyond will be a true Amiga product,
created with due care and attention to the philosophy and practices that have
always made Amiga solutions the envy of the world.
AmigaOS4.0 is currently being developed on Amiga 4000s equipped with CSPPC
accelerators, and integration is now underway on the AmigaOne 1:5 boards provided
by Eyetech.
The aim of AmigaOS4.0 is five fold;
- to provide a transition from the 68k based custom chipset Amiga hardware
to PPC based pluggable sub system hardware
- to provide as great a degree of backwards compatibility as is possible
- to optimise the AmigaOS for its new hardware foundation
- to move the AmigaOS forwards, offering new features and high performance
all wrapped up in the traditional easy to use Amiga architecture
- to prepare the way for AmigaOS5
Its feature set as currently defined is as follows;
Exec SG (Second Generation) - A rearchitectured and reimplemented Exec
core services manager that allows the deployment of AmigaOS4 to any suitable
PPC hardware including but not limited to the Amiga One, Blizzard PPC, Cyberstorm
PPC, Shark PPC from Elbox, Pegasos from bPlan etc.
The following features are being added;
- Hardware abstraction layer
- Virtual memory
- New library interface
- Resource tracking and management
- Optional memory protection
- WarpOS backwards compatibility
68K emulation - This is key to AmigaOS4.0 as many of the less performance
crucial OS elements, as well as the entire body of Amiga third party applications
will require it in order to work. The latest Just In Time (JIT) techniques are
being employed to ensure maximum performance, with hand tuning of many areas
to accelerate the Amiga architecture.
PPC native connectivity suite - this was the most requested feature
from the community, integrated connectivity, and given its importance, we trusted
its development to Olaf Barthel, one of the most respected Amiga developers
in the world. He has not disappointed, with benchmarks suggesting that the new
AmigaOS4 solution is faster than any other available solution. Its feature set
includes;
- implemented as a single shared library
- compatible with the Amiga standard "bsdsocket" API, as defined
by the AmiTCP product
- enhanced API for more control over the inner workings and configuration
- built-in DHCP client
- Internet Superserver (inetd)
- IP filtering and networking address translation
- drivers for asynchronous PPP (dial-up networking) and PPP over Ethernet
- SSLv2
PPC native reimplementation of the Amiga File System (FFS2) - FFS2
is a fully backwards compatible re-implementation in C of the Fast File System.
It supports media greater than 4 GBytes, and a new variant of the file/directory
name storage format which allows for long file names (up to 108 characters).
Salvage and recovery tools will also be included that support both FFS2 and
SFS.
PPC native CD file system - the feature set for this second most requested
feature of AmigaOS4 is as follows;
- Joiliet support
- RockRidge support
- CDDA support
- multi-session support
- Video CD support
We also intend to add support for mixed audio/data CD's and support for the
HFS and HFS+ filesystem as used by Apple.
PPC native RTG system - with the AmigaOne supporting both AGP and PCI
graphics cards, the ReTargetable Graphics system is crucial to high performance.
Redesigned and reimplemented for AmigaOS4 and the AmigaOne, a team lead by the
creators of the Picasso96 solution will ensure the hightest quality graphics
display for the consumer, whether gamer, artist or general user. In addition,
hand tuned drivers are being written to support the following graphics cards,
with more to be announced later.
- Permedia 2
- Permedia 3
- Voodoo 3
- Matrox G450/G550
- ATI Radeon
Amiga3D - developed from the pioneering Warp3D solution offered by Hyperion
and now available on both the AmigaOS and AmigaDE, this 3D solution offers the
power and simplicity of a low level 3D interface, allowing developers to create
blazingly fast 3D applications without the overhead of a fatter 3D solution
such as OpenGL. Hand tuned hardware drivers for the above mentioned graphics
cards will provide even higher performance. Whoever said games are irrelevant
on the Amiga is in for a surprise.
OpenGL 1.3 support (mesa 4.0) - whilst Ami3D allows the developer to
get down close to the metal, OpenGL is the standard for a full 3D solution.
AmigaOS4.0 will offer OpenGL1.3 support by implementing mesa 4.0 on top of Ami3D,
giving developers the 3D choice of performance and feature set.
PPC native RTA - With the introduction of PCI card support, the Amiga
community now has access to the latest in audio hardware. Given its excellent
collection of audio software, such as Audio Evolution, Samplitude and others,
this AHI compatible solution will allow the AmigaOne to become a major force
in audio creation. With support for most existing Amiga audio cards as well
as Soundblaster live and Soundblaster 128, the future has never sounded so good.
PPC native GUI system - the entire look and feel of AmigaOS is being
reworked;
Intuition is being rewritten and enhanced, to give a PPC native foundation
to the AmigaOS interactive environment.
Reaction, the BOOPSI based component GUI system has been reimplemented and
enhanced for seamless integration with the AmigaOS.
Many new classes are being developed whilst drag and drop will be supported
across the system.
Matt Chaput, designer of the famous GlowIcons is taking a leading role in the
look and feel, ensuring that AmigaOS4 will look both modern and unique.
A PPC version of AmiDock will also be included, ensuring that Workbench continues
to be the most usable environment of all the desktop platforms.
PPC native CLI - the tool of choice will be removed of annoying bugs
and enhanced to make it even more useful.
SCSI interface - SCSI will be supported, allowing the many devices already
owned by Amigans to be used, but with particular attention being paid to SCSI
devices that use the SCRIPTS controller, for the next generation of devices.
AmigaInput - A new framework for managing input devices is being designed
as a prelude to the requirements for AmigaOS5. This will appear in AmigaOS4
and become a crucial part of the developing Amiga solution.
USB - USB was to be introduced in AmigaOS4.2 but given the developemtent
of the 1:5 motherboard, parts of it will be introduced in AmigaOS4.0. Currently
this will allow USB mice and keyboards to be supported but, if all goes well,
new devices will be added as they become available, with scanner support next
in line.
PPC datatypes - the datatypes system has been implemented and extended
within the AmigaDE, demonstrating our commitment to superior Amiga technology.
With the move to PPC, the system and many of the datatypes will also be moved
across, increasing their performance dramatically.
PPC Storage Toolbox - a set of functions allowing for the management
of fixed and removable storage devices.
PPC font engine - surprisingly one of the most requested features for
AmigaOS4.0, a brand new font engine will be added to the AmigaOS, providing
support for both True Type and Open Type fonts. In addition, bullet.library
and diskfont.library will be reimplemented and enhanced and a contract with
Agfa for 12 truetype fonts has been negotiated.
In addition, many Amiga developers are coming forwards and demonstrating their
commitment to the AmigaOne and AmigaOS4; in particular
- 1. Special PPC native OEM version of Ibrowse 2.3
- PPC native version of MUI for applications that require it
- Special PPC native lite version of Audio Evolution
All in all, AmigaOS4.0 is shaping up to be a very compelling and exciting product
which in combination with the AmigaOne will provide the product that we have
been waiting so long to offer to the Amiga community.
Whilst the the changed schedule for the AmigaOne boards is very welcome, it
has added AmigaOS4.2 work to the schedule for AmigaOS4.0, namely the abstraction
of the AA chipset. Coupled with the need to reimplement certain features included
by Haage and Partner in AmigaOS3.5 and AmigaOS3.9, this may push out the final
consumer delivery date; an analysis is underway at the moment to determine this.
The Amiga community is owed a great debt by Amiga Inc and, with the success
of AmigaDE now allowing us to build revenues and increase resources, the long
layed plans for the future of both the AmigaDE and the AmigaOS can be put into
action. Thanks for all your support and here's to the future,
Signed on behalf of Amiga Inc, Eyetech, Hyperion and all those working together
for the future of the Amiga

Jetzt auch SUN: Plattform-unabhängiges Spielen
Nun plant auch SUN die "Play Anywhere" Strategie. Basierend auf JAVA soll
eine komplette Games Engine geschaffen werden.
Hier dazu eine persönliche Einschätzung von Jockl:
Ob die Performance dafür ausreicht, wissen wir nicht. Dass JAVA sehr weit
verbreitet und inzwischen akzeptiert ist, das wissen wir jedoch schon.
Nun könnte man sagen: SUN hat Angst, dass .NET zur Games Engine der Zukunft
wird, dadurch überall installiert und JAVA somit noch unwichtiger für
Windows User wird (MS will JAVA vom Markt drängen, beides sind Erz-Rivalen).
Was aber ist die Gaming Engine für .NET? Im Moment noch gar nichts.
Vielmehr sehen wir hier aber AmigaDE. Und die Chancen stehen gut (für die
Skeptiker), dass das DE früher oder später von MS als Fremd-Technologie
(wir kennen das ja schon) "einverleibt", etwas abgewandelt (läuft jetzt nur
noch unter .NET) und als MS Innovation vermarktet wird.
Kann natürlich auch sein, dass Bill McEwen ein Idealist (für den Idealisten)
ist, und das niemals zulässt, hingegen versucht seinen technologischen
Vorsprung (den hat er) gegen MS auszuspielen. (Das DE ist übrigens wirklich
"exciting", wenn man erst mal verstanden hat, was es in sich birgt [sprich:
"Diese CD-ROM ist mein Computer, inklusive aller installierten Applikationen
und Datenbanken"]).
Im letzteren Falle wäre es gut, wenn sich die Amiga-User mal ein wenig das DE
ansehen würden, anstatt immer nur zu mosern. Ich gehe jede Wette ein, dass die
Mehrheit hier keinen blassen Schimmer hat, was das DE eigentlich ist. Ist auch
kein Kunststück bei der Informations-Politik seitens Amigas.
AmigaDE (wenn es denn nun mal so kommt, wie geplant) hat das ideologische und
ideell-qualitative (sprich: "Vision") Potential zu einem revolutionären
Massenprodukt. Aber die Samen müssen früh gesäht werden! Es muss bekannt sein,
dass es sowas gibt. Die Leute müssen schon mal was davon gehört haben...
Ich persönlich versuche in Foren, so gut es geht, davon zu künden. Machen Sie
das doch auch (aber informieren Sie sich vorher, lesen Sie die AmigaWorld
Dokumente auf www.amiga.com). (ps)
