24.Nov.1999 Soundprobe |
Soundprobe: Schlechte und gute Nachrichten Zuerst die schlechte Nachricht: Es wird kein Update Version 2.2 geben :(. Nun die gute Nachricht: Es wird die Version V3 geben :). Nachdem die PC-Version von Soundprobe fertig ist, wurde mit HiSOFT über die Amiga Version verhandelt. Dabei heraus gekommen ist, dass der Autor noch Dezember und Januar an der Amiga-Version von Soundprobe arbeiten kann. Die neue Version wird also im Februar 2000 zur Verfügung stehen und wie die PC-Version mit einem Keyfile funktionieren. (ps) [Meldung: 24.

Aminet CD 34 - 12/99 Die Aminet CD 34 - Dezember 1999 - beinhaltet nahezu ein Gigabyte (ungepackt) an Software in Tausenden von Archiven. Seit der Aminet CD 33 sind über 500 MB an Neuheiten hinzugekommen. Alle Programme sind Deutsch beschrieben; viele verfügen über eine deutsche Dokumentation. Als besonderes Highlight enthält die Aminet 34 den AmiAtlas V4. Neu seit Ausgabe 33 und wieder aktualisiert: Das beliebte News-Archiv amiga-news.de von Petra Struck ist jetzt Bestandteil jeder Aminet-CD (in deutsch und englisch) und kann direkt mit einem mitgelieferten Browser aus der ReadMe-Datei heraus aufgerufen werden. Wir danken allen daran Beteiligten für ihre großartige Arbeit im Sinne der Information der Amiga-User weltweit. Weitere Besonderheit dieser Ausgabe: Berichte und Impressionen von der Kölner Amiga-Messe "Home Electronics World" Mitte November mit interessanten Bildern von vielen bekannten und auch bisher weniger bekannten Menschen aus der Amiga-Szene. Dank an Petra und ihre Digitalkamera :-) Dank ebenso von unserer Seite für die Möglichkeit, über die Aminet-CDs unsere Amiga News auch Lesern zugänglich zu machen, die nicht über einen Internet-Anschluss verfügen.

Neues Patent angemeldet Wenn Sie unter dem Titellink bei "Comany name search" nach "AMIGA DEV LLC" suchen lassen, bekommen Sie unter anderem ein neues Patent Nr. DE3752297D vom 18.11.1999 gezeigt, welches von Jay Miner und Glenn Keller eingereicht wurde. Leider entzieht es sich unserer Kenntnis, was genau dort patentiert werden soll. Vielleicht weiß ja einer unserer Leser mehr darüber. Nachtrag 25.11.1999: Andreas Meyer bringt Licht in die Patentanmeldung: «Die bei "espace" gefundene Patentveröffentlichung ist offensichtlich die deutsche Anmeldung des US-Patentes 04829473, das dort 1986 eingereicht wurde. Unter http://www.patents.ibm.com/details?pn=US04829473__ findet sich die amerikanische Originalausgabe auf dem IBM-Patentserver. Das Abstract lautet: "A peripheral control circuit for a computer system. Independent control and interface circuits are provided for left and right audio channels, for a communications port, for storage media, and for joysticks or paddles. Control logic is provided for direct memory access to system memory and for interrupts to the processor by each of the peripherals. Sound data corresponding to a sound waveform during a particular time period is fetched using DMA or interrupts. Registers store data for selecting the output rate of the sound data, the length of the sound waveform, and the volume of the sound waveform. Four audio channels and two separate audio ports are provide." Klingt nach dem Original Amiga-Chipsatz-Design, oder?» Genau, das ist es! Also kein neues Patent. Verwirrend war das Datum 18.11.1999. Bei Amiga.org ist der Eintrag zwischenzeitlich wieder verschwunden. (ps) [Meldung: 24. Nov. 1999, 08:00] [Kommentare: 0] [Per E-Mail versenden] [Druck-Version] [ASCII-Version] |

24 bit Sound in wenigen Wochen Endlich rückt eine Dynamik von bis zu 144 dB in Amigas ein! Mangels Interesse musste die Karte MEDIO ihr Dasein bislang in der Schublade fristen. Endlich, seit der HEW'99 gibt es genug Vorbestellungen, um die Karte produzieren zu können. Der anvisierte Endkundenpreis kann mit weiteren Vorbestellungen deutlich fallen sales@katodev.de. Die Unterstützung der Hardware ist bereits transparent ins Melody-Treibersystem integriert. MEDIO ist eine Erweiterung für Melody 1200, die verlustlose digitale Ein- und Ausgänge nachrüstet. Um deren Einsatz zu verdeutlichen, muss vorab das Konzept von Melody1200 bekannt sein, da so ein High-End-Design auf dem Amiga ansonsten unbekannt ist. Melody1200 besteht aus zwei Karten, die wir Analog- und Digitalteil nennen. Zwischen diesen Karten verläuft ein digitales Busssystem (AD/DA Wandlung erfolgt erst auf dem Analogteil) über ein Flachbandkabel. Auf dieses Bussystem kann u.a. Medio mittels zusätzlichem Flachbandstecker gesteckt werden (optional auch mehrere davon). Melody1200xxx arbeitet analog mit 8, 16 und 20 bit, digital mit 8,16 und 24 bit. Wir empfehlen den flinkeren Betrieb in Zorro-Rechnern in Verbindung mit Unity. Eine genaue Funktionserklärung der Hardware (Routen ohne CPU, Beeinflussung von Copybit, A-LAN usw.) ist hier zu umfangreich. Wir verweisen auf unsere Webseiten. Selbst die Seiten können nur ein Auszug sein. Die farbigen PDF-Flyer u.a. für Händleraushang finden sich wie immer unter Docs. (ps) [Meldung: 24.

REBOL-Modul für Apache Für die Unix-Version des Web-Servers Apache kündigt REBOL die Pre-Beta Veröffentlichung eines REBOL-Moduls an. REBOL sucht Personen, die Interesse daran haben das Modul zu testen und daraufhin dem REBOL-Apache-Development-Team Feedback über die Zuverlässigkeit, Robustheit und Features des Moduls zuschicken. Die Pre-Beta wird nur für einige Unix-Versionen von Apache ab der Version 1.3.4 bis zur aktuellen 1.3.9 verfügbar sein. Zusätzlich muß httpd als Dynamic-Shared-Object(mod_so) compiliert sein. Falls dies nicht der Fall ist, kann man Apache selbst entsprechend und problemlos compilieren. Wer Interesse hat die Pre-Beta zu testen, kann sich an apachedev@rebol.com wenden. Wobei man darauf achten sollte, auch das benutzte Unix-System mit anzugeben. (ps) [Meldung: 24. Nov. 1999, 08:00] [Kommentare: 0] [Per E-Mail versenden] [Druck-Version] [ASCII-Version] |

Individual Computers verlost auf amiga-news.de eine Netzwerkkarte X-Surf Die Preisfrage ist recht einfach: Ab wann ist die Karte lieferbar? Rufen Sie bei ihrem Lieblingshändler an, und fragen Sie nach dem Liefertermin. Die Angabe der Kalenderwoche reicht, das genaue Datum ist nicht entscheidend. Den Termin schreiben Sie dann per e-Mail unter Angabe Ihres Lieblingshändlers an: X-Surf@nostlgic.oche.de Wählen Sie nicht irgendeinen Händler, sondern wirklich ihren Lieblingshändler. Einen, der wegen eines schönen Ladengeschäfts Ihre Sympathie hat, oder einen, der Sie mit gutem Service in der Vergangenheit beeindruckt hat. Unter allen Einsendungen verlost Individual Computers eine X-Surf Netzwerkkarte für Amigas mit Zorro-Steckplatz. Für das Erste gibt es nur einen Sana-II Treiber, bis Ende des Jahres folgen dann noch NetBSD-Treiber, der Miami-MNI Treiber und für Januar ist die Auslieferung der automatischen Samba-Installation geplant. Die Aktion läuft bis Ende November, am 1. Dezember wird der Gewinner von Individual Computers ermittelt und hier am 2. Dezember bekannt gegeben. (ps) [Meldung: 24.

Presseinformation von Planetamiga Planetamiga gibt ab 25. November 99 den neuen Amiga-Info-Service "Movement Amiga" heraus. Ein Printmagazin, das mit geringem technischen Aufwand produziert und an die Adressaten in unserer Amiga-Datenbank verschickt wird. Personen, die sich in diese Datenbank noch bis 25.11.99 eintragen und deren Wohnadresse in Österreich ist (liegt an posttariflichen Bestimmungen) erhalten die ersten drei Ausgaben des Magazins gratis. Ab dann kostet eine Ausgabe öS 3,- (entspricht 0,22 euro). Das Magazin wird vorerst in Schwarz-Weiß erscheinen und soll vornehmlich dazu dienen, aktuellere Information zu erhalten, nachdem sich immer mehr Amiga-Magazine aus dem Markt zurückgezogen haben. Finanziert soll das Magazin über externe (nicht Amiga) Sponsoren werden, um hier nicht die "amigaOS", die wir gerade in unser planet.eins.-Kundenpaket eingebunden haben, zu stören. Lesen Sie die komplette Mitteilung: Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 23:44:06 +0100 Subject: Presseinformation von Planetamiga To: petra.struck@online-club.de From: office@planetamiga.at (Roland Vidmar) +++ Presseinformation von Planetamiga +++ In aller Kürze Planetamiga gibt ab 25. November 99 den neuen Amiga-Info-Service "Movement Amiga" heraus. Ein Printmagazin, das mit geringem technischen Aufwand produziert und an die Adressaten in unserer Amiga-Datenbank verschickt wird. Personen, die sich in diese Datenbank noch bis 25.11.99 eintragen und deren Wohnadresse in Österreich ist (liegt an posttariflichen Bestimmungen) erhalten die ersten drei Ausgaben des Magazins gratis. Ab dann kostet eine Ausgabe öS 3,- (entspricht 0,22 euro). Das Magazin wird vorerst in Schwarz-Weiß erscheinen und soll vornehmlich dazu dienen, aktuellere Information zu erhalten, nachdem sich immer mehr Amiga-Magazine aus dem Markt zurückgezogen haben. Finanziert soll das Magazin über externe (nicht Amiga) Sponsoren werden, um hier nicht die "amigaOS", die wir gerade in unser planet.eins.-Kundenpaket eingebunden haben, zu stören. Neuer Infodienst für Österreich. Am Donnerstag, dem 25. November 99 erscheint die erste Ausgabe des "Movement Amiga". Vorerst werden wir uns sehr einfacher Herstellungstechniken bedienen und die Finanzierung auf geringem Level halten. Das Magazin wird nur wenige Seiten umfassen und als Kostprobe während der ersten 3 Ausgaben gratis an alle Amiga-Anwender aus Österreich, die sich in unserer Datenbank (bis Stichzeitpunkt 25. 11. 99, 15:00) befinden verschickt. Informations-Unterversorgung in Österreich abdecken. Angesichts der Tatsache, daß sich im Jahr 1999 schon drei namhafte Amiga-Magazine aus dem Markt verabschiedet haben (AFever, ASpecial und A+) wollten wir eine Alternative anbieten. Die Versorgung mit Information in Österreich ist - besonders für jene, die nicht im Internet sind - zu gering. Wir wollen mit dem neuen Infoservice in Form einer kleinen Zeitschrift, versuchen dieses Manko auszubessern. Keine Konkurrenz für die amigaOS Da auch in letzter Zeit besonders von dem Problem des Inserat-Preisdumpings zu hören war, was auch den Magazinen Schwierigkeiten bereitete, wollen wir absichtlich nicht als Konkurrenz zur "amigaOS" auftreten und haben daher auch nicht vor den Werbemarkt dieses Magazins anzugreifen. Unsere Intention ist vielmehr das Magazin durch Firmen, die nichts oder wenig mit dem Amiga zu tun haben, zu finanzieren (Versicherungen, Sparkassen...) und so den geringen Preis aufrecht erhalten zu können. Niedrigstpreis-Produktion zum Einstieg Zum Anfang wird "Movement Amiga" um öS 3,- erhältlich sein, wir werden uns einem einfachen Druckverfahren ohne Farbe bedienen. Sollte uns der Erfolg recht geben und das News-Magazin in Österreich gefragter sein, als wir bisher erwarten und die Auflage steigen, ist eine professionelle Produktion vorgesehen, dann dürfte sich aber auch am Preis noch etwas ändern. Ziel von "Movement Amiga" ist es auch, daß die Aktualität der Informationen erhöht wird, so soll das Magazin am Anfang im Takt von ca. 15 bis 20 Tagen erscheinen. Inhalte des Magazins Das Magazin wird sich vornehmlich mit aktuellen Infos beschäftigen, wir wollen vorläufig keine Hard- oder Softwaretests veröffentlichen, auch dieses Feld wollen wir der "amigaos", die sich hier als sehr kompetent erwiesen hat, überlassen. "Movement Amiga" wird ein Infoservice für alle, die am Ball bleiben wollen und sofort wissen wollen, wenn sich etwas im Amiga-Bereich tut. Auch in Deutschland? Vorläufig nicht. Das liegt einerseits daran, dass wir den Preis bei den restriktiven postrechtlichen Bestimmungen nicht aufrecht erhalten können und für eine Massensendung auch in Deutschland viel zu wenige Datensätze haben. Sollte sich das anders entwickeln, werden wir auch die Aussendung nach Deutschland überlegen. Und wie bezahle ich? Die Abrechnung wird ganz einfach, wir zählen die Ausgaben, die ein Kunde von uns bekommt einfach mit und sobald die 5. Ausgabe erreicht ist, verlangen wir die Zahlung für die ersten 15 Ausgaben. Die ersten 5 Ausgaben werden wir vorfinanzieren. Die Bezahlung erfolgt ganz einfach per Erlagschein. A service for the planet. A planet for the amiga.

Power verdoppeln beim A3640 Prozessor? Durch eine Frage in einer Mailingsliste machte der Leser von Amiga.org Daryl Holley auf die Webseite im Titellink aufmerksam, die den "QuadDoubler" anbietet. Ursprünglich wurde dieser Doubler für Macintosh Quadra Serien entwickelt, soll aber auch mit Commodore 3640 Turbokarte funktionieren. Verschiedene User haben bestätigt, dass das funktioniert.

Foundation Update 1.26 verfügbar Wie bereits berichtet, gibt es Foundation nun in zwei verschiedenen Versionen. "Foundation" und "Foundation The Directors Cut", kurz Foundation DC, was von Epic Marketing vertrieben wird. Foundation DC ist praktisch eine überarbeitete Neuauflage von Foundation, was man nur kaufen braucht, wenn man Foundation noch nicht besitzt. Da Foundation DC mit einem anderen Filelayout versehen ist, war es für den Autor Paul Burkey schwer, ein Update zu erstellen, welches zu beiden Versionen kompatibel ist. Ein erste Betaversion des Updates 1.26 ist nun auf der Webseite verfügbar. Ende der Woche wird ein weiteres Update verfügbar sein. Download: Foundation26Beta.lzx. (ps) [Meldung: 23.

Amiga International had their large booth set up, and seemed to generate a fair amount of interest. We weren't there, but are told Petro Tyschtschenko was (almost) as upbeat as ever. However, reflecting reality, there were fewer vendors than last year. The mood was reportedly less positive, but that seemed to be based mainly on there being no clear direction to the future, not fears of an imminent death of the Amiga market. The folks at Haage & Partner demonstrated a 400 Mhz G3 Power PC board, based on the IBM CHRP spec. It also featured PCI and AGP slots. There are rumors a native PPC based AmigaOS port is being considered for this board. If so, that's the most realistic possibility for a future Amiga system we've seen yet. We understand the board was presented as a development system though, not as a future Amiga. However, and perhaps very significantly, Petro T. is quoted in an article about HEW on the amiga.org website as stating "My first priority now is to convert the OS to the PowerPC." Indications are that Haage & Partner are willing to do the conversion. Is Amiga willing to license it, providing the formal approval to call it Amiga? We don't know, but feel this would be important to keep developers focused, instead of trying to cover many different future possibilities and spreading themselves too thinly. If CHRP can be abandoned in order to bring down the price of a PPC board, then the future looks even better for a PPC system. There are indications that this could become possible, with IBM leading the way to a less expensive PPC standard. As we hear more about possible Amiga PPC futures, we'll let you know. The Met@Box (AmiJoeG3) G3 Board for the A1200 was also demonstrated at the Cologne Show. This is a PowerPC based accelerator, which does not sport a 68K co-processor. Also of interest was the Unity Net Ethernet card. We've a story on that product below. Finally, once again there was no BoXeR Computer to be seen, or so we've been told. Over at Deja.com, a poll is being held on the most popular operating system. Looks like the voting may be in several stages on different features. Regardless, when we checked in Amiga OS was actually leading the voting! It was way ahead of MonopolySoft's Windoze, and even ahead of Linux. Most interesting and yes, it left me with a very smug feeling. And, despite the current situation in the Amiga market, there's a lot for you to read in this issue. We hope you enjoy it. Brad Webb, Editor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- E-mail to the E-ditor: 19 Oct 1999 Brad , Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you do to publish this newsletter to all of us die hard Amiga Fans, I am truly sorry to hear what Gateway has done to this fine machine. I just wonder what the cutoff point for that company was, all that money, time and effort just to throw it away when they were close to releasing the next OS , and all the other interesting B.S info they leaked to the press. But as Any Modern Day Technical Guru , I own Amigas , Mac's and PC's , I use all the Operating Systems, Linux 6x , BeOS ,Amiga OS , winblows 95/98/nt/2k whatever, I try not to bash each OS for what it Cant do, just appreciate all that they can do... But I will never Ever Buy anything gateway again for what they have done... Iceman. ~~~~~~ Iceman, A lot of us have tried to figure out what Gateway was trying to accomplish and how things ended up as they did. I personally believe it was a combination of loss of nerve in the face of Microsoft, and internal Gateway corporate politics. Sad to say but many far reaching decisions have been made with even less reasoning. The bottom line is simply - will the company stay profitable? As you, I will not buy anything Gateway made at this point. Thanks for the kind words! Regards, Brad ====== 5 Nov 1999 Hi Brad I have appreciated this resource of amiga news, please keep up the excellent work. But, I have a question about one of the statements you made a couple of months ago. It was in response to another readers letter and concerned other attempts to revive the amiga other than the official Amiga company. You stated that you didn't think that it was appropriate for this news-letter to cover the other attempts to revive the Amiga such as the A.R.P. or the work at QNX. Why not? Doesn't this put all your eggs into one basket? And also is this the only feasible way that the best solution to reviving the Amiga will be attained? Thanks - Jim ~~~~~~ Jim, First, my apologies for shortening your letter, but space considerations made that necessary. You ask a very good question. What I had to do to your letter points to the answer - we just don't have the space to cover all the permutations out there. We also don't have the staff or the time. I wish we did. What we will do is cover the Amiga itself, whatever that might be going forward, until such time as it seems appropriate to drop the Amiga entirely in favor of something else - if that ever happens. (If we do get to that point, we'll share the decision with you, the readers.) We will also cover whatever looks to us to be the leading efforts in the "alternative Amigas" field. And finally, we will also cover to some extent significant events in all Amiga related areas, where these events seem to have some real promise for the Amiga community. This is a pretty complicated mission statement, but we've actually been doing this for some time and it seems to be working. I have no doubt we could miss something significant along the way but we'll try to avoid that. If we do, I'm pretty sure some readers will call our attention to the event, and we'll then try to get the word to the rest. Regards, Brad ====== 19 Oct 1999 While in St Louis last March conversing with Petro, it was stated by him that, "the shipment of containers from Quikpak of the remaining parts had been received and inspected. It contained less than 2 dozen usable 4000 motherboards." Now this was casual conversation between 4 of us, but I have no reason to doubt it's truthfullness. Petro did make it possible for me to launch the CDTV 3.1 upgrade project, and that was all verbal between him and me in March of 98. Ben Deemer "thedoctor" not MD. ~~~~~~ Ben, Thanks for answering Mike's question from a previous issue. It's very disappointing there weren't more resources available for making A4000s - I suspect Amiga could still sell quite a few. Regards, Brad ====== 19 Oct 1999 There used to be a document on the Amiga Inc. web page concerning Y2K issues with the Amiga. I haven't been there in quite a while, so I don't know if it's still there. If it's not still there, I'm sure there are plenty who know all the gritty details. But... As far as I can remember, Workbench will have no trouble, but AmigaDOS itself doesn't handle four digit dates. You might get invalid date stamps on files. Hopefully the guys at H&P have addressed this in OS 3.5 or working on it for 3.6(?). As for the RTC {Real Time Clock, we presume. Brad}, that's another issue. As I recall, the document stated that the RTC found in the A2000 is not Y2K compliant. The only possible fix is a software patch to the OS. Carlos ~~~~~~ Carlos, The Y2k page is still available at amiga.com, and has a link right off the first page after the home page. Anyone with Y2K questions should refer to that document for information. We didn't notice anything in particular about the A2000, but the different versions of the operating system, the clocks, etc., have different considerations. Thanks for your help in answering a reader's question. Regards, Brad ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P A X T R O N B O U G H T B Y C E N T S I B L E 28 Oct 1999 {Posted to the net by Bill Griffin.

It should take about 2-3 weeks to get it all sorted, catalogued counted, etc. After that, things should be back in full swing from the new location. In the meantime, if you have any queries or parts needs, you can Email Scott (the owner of Centsible Software) at support@centsible.com {Note: since obtaining this information, we have been informed "Paxtron" has dropped all Amiga support. We have not yet confirmed this. Brad} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- G A T E W A Y A N D A O L D E A L On October 20, CNET News ran a story by Jim Davis and Michael Kanellos detailing an agreement reached by Gateway and America On Line. The deal will bring an $800 investment in Gateway from AOL. AOL becomes the Internet service for Gateway customers, and the backbone of Gateway.net. The following quote from the story should be of interest to Amigans: " Many observers have speculated that hardware companies will have to hook up with service providers to make money on appliances. Under the new alliance, Gateway will begin to market devices for the "AOL Anywhere" strategy. 'There's clearly a possibility that Amiga will play a part in this marketplace,'" according to Jeff Weitzen, chief operating officer of Gateway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- O S 3 . 5 A V A I L A B L E N O W 18. October 1999: AmigaOS 3.5 is available !!! The delivery of AmigaOS 3.5 started punctual. The first packages were sold at an Amiga show in The Netherlands last weekend. Delivery of all orders might last about 1-2 weeks. The areas for registrations and support will be opened in a few days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A M I G A V O L U N T E E R P R O J E C T 16 Nov., '99 The long version Today is there pretty much Amiga software and there is new software coming but it takes long time and it might result in lots of bugs. We started to discus whatever there was a way that we could do something about that problem and after some long hours we found the answer in TAVP. Now we are in a early stage and we need your support because that is what this project feeds on. Right now we are contacting all kinds of Amiga developers about if and what area they need help. We need people that are prepared to work for no pay but only for the good will and you dont have to be an expert in whatever you do. We want everything, coders, musicians and so on because there is always someone that needs that. We are also contacting different PC developers about ports to the Amiga that we can sell so the project might get some money(no of the founders will get any money)that might be used to different things. We as mentioned before that this project depends your support and we hope that as many of you skilled persons out there will join us. The short version What is TAVP(The Amiga Volunteer Project)? The TAVP is an non profit project that will support the development of new software to Amiga. What you have think of before you join is that you will not be paid because as mentioned before is this an NON PROFIT organisation. Why do we do it? We are all long time Amiga users and decided that now was the time for us to active support the Amiga. At the moment there is pretty much software but the development takes long time but if this project works it will maybe speed up the development a bit. How will we do it? to make this project come true we need you. We need skilled amigians in any directions and you dont have too be the best coder in the world you only have to be pretty good. If you are interested go to the join section and fill out the form and we will contact you or send a mail to denebis@algonet.se. What will we do? As mentioned before we will support the Amiga market by helping different developers with skilled people but that is not the only thing that we will do. We will also try to convert PC software to the Amiga. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A M I G A 2 K N E W S 6 Nov 1999 Hello Amiga fans, Just to let you know two items about Amiga 2K, the latest Gateway Computer Show hosted in St. Louis by Amigan-St. Louis. {Note to non-Americans: NOT Gateway the company. Gateway in this case comes originally from St. Louis as "the gateway to the American West" and later the Gateway Computer Club of St. Louis. Brad} 1. The show dates are Saturday April 1 & Sunday April 2, 2000. (If you didn't hear, we changed them due to a conflict with NAB. That's the National Association of Broadcasters show, also in April.) 2. Petro Tyschtschenko has agreed to attend our show. Petro said he wouldn't miss a show that we put on. Please visit our web site at: http://www.amiga-stl.com for more information as it becomes available. If you wish to exhibit, please fill out the exhibitor form. We are accepting exhibitors now. If you cannot do this, or you have a question, then please email me at bscharp@icon-stl.net. Best Regards, Bob Scharp Owner Amigan-St. Louis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- R E P O R T - I W I N R E S U R F A C E S 5 Nov. '99 Robert Jant, chief of a group of former Iwin employees, has announced today that he together with other former Iwin employees and with the help of a large German bank has bought back the rights for the Internet domains www.iwin-corp.com and www.iwin-corp.ge, furthermore the rights for the name Iwin Corporation and for the projects of the C-Series and Server computers. "It was a logical decision" said Robert Jant. "Focke Systems didn't want to continue development of the C-Series and Servers and didn't want to sell them either. "This is the reason why we have decided to try to buy back the rights on them. We were working very hard for a long time on these projects and didn't want to see them frozen. We know that it will be a very hard way to finish the projects and bring them into the stores. We won't bring these computers into the stores as it was initially planned, but we are sure they will be successful." Iwin Corporation will open again on the 15 of November 1999 and will also ship the first computers on this date to dealers. On the 15 of November, Iwin Corporation will also again be reachable by phone, fax and email. {Since this press release was issued, Iwin sites are indeed back in operation. The computers now include something called the G-MCC, I-MCC and iPhantom computers all of which reference Amiga compatibility. It is unclear what the Amiga compatibility actually is - it appears to be some sort of software emulation, perhaps UAE. Brad} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- L A T E S T O N I W I N 6 Nov. 1999 Iwin Corporation has been split into three independent firms. 1. The Software business was sold to ``Focke Systems'' and will now be fully integrated into this firm. 2. The Consulting business was also sold to ``Focke Systems'' and will be ``Focke Consulting'' in the future. 3. The Hardware business was first also sold to ``Focke Systems'' but then bought back by some former Iwin employees. This firm will now be called ``Iwin Corporation''. This website will be the future site of this firm. The new firm will start business on the 15th of November 1999 and will sell various graphic workstations based on x86 and PPC technology as well as server computers. For all people asking about the announced ``Amiga compatible'' computers, please use these contact possibilities in the meanwhile: Either by FAX in the US: (208)-279-6497. Your question will be answerred within two work days. Please understand that currently we cannot answer any questions by email or phone. On the 15th of November this site will have changed to the new Iwin site and will contain a toll-free (US and Germany only!) number for your questions regarding the Amiga compatible workstations and all other hardware products. If you need help or sales support for former Iwin software products, please refer to Focke Systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- O P E N S O U R C E G R O U P A C T I V E 19th October 1999 About Us The Campaign to Open Source AmigaOS is a coalition of individuals, organisations and user groups from the Amiga, Open Source and Linux communities. The Campaign to Open Source AmigaOS was formed on the 4th October to bring together these usually unrelated groups for a common cause: to present our case to Amiga, Inc. for open sourcing the Amiga operating system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- O P E N L E T T E R T O T H E P R E S . Open Letter to Amiga, Inc. President Thomas Schmidt October 18, 1999 Dear Mr. Schmidt: First of all, we want to congratulate you on your new position as president of Amiga. We are sure that you have many exciting plans for the future of Amiga, Inc. and that we can expect many new innovations from your company in the months and years ahead. This is indeed an exciting time for the computer industry, a time of great upheaval and change, and holds much promise for the success and growth of ambitious upstart companies like Amiga, Inc. We have been following the recent events at Amiga, Inc. with great interest. We feel, like many, that the recent resignation of Jim Collas was unfortunate. Many people in the community trusted Collas to successfully lead the company into the future. Wherever he is now, and whatever he is doing, we in the community wish him well. But this is not a time to be looking back on events of the past. It is a time to be focusing on what lies directly ahead in the future of the computing industry. We feel our organisation is unique in the Amiga community. We have tried to understand both the needs of the Amiga community, balanced against the needs of Amiga, Inc. We do not believe, like some in the community, that the wishes of the Amiga community and the needs of Amiga, Inc. are mutually exclusive. Likewise, we do not believe that success of Amiga, Inc. as a company is mutually exclusive with satisfying the needs and expectations of the Amiga community. Our group was formed with a simple goal: to find a mutually-satisfactory solution to current tensions that exist between many in the community and Amiga, Inc. - a solution that would be satisfactory, indeed beneficial, to both groups. We believe, after several weeks of discussion and exchanging of ideas, that we have found such a solution. We believe that this solution is to open-source the Amiga operating system. We present our reasons for believing this in our report, "AmigaOS: The Case for Open Source," a copy of which should have been sent to you alongside this letter, by Amiga Vice President Mr. Petro Tyschtschenko. Our report is the result of several weeks of work and consultation with many individuals in the Amiga, Open Source and Linux communities, including famous open-source advocate Eric Raymond, who acted as a consultant for Netscape on their open-source strategy. We believe our report presents a powerful case that open-sourcing the Amiga operating system would bring many advantages, and future business opportunities, to Amiga, Inc. and would at the same time satisfy the needs of the Amiga community for continuity and continuous improvement of the Amiga operating system. We therefore respectfully submit our report, "AmigaOS: The Case for Open Source," for your review and consideration. We, of course, do not expect the report to fully and complete answer each and every question you may have on the subject of open-source, or why we believe it is the ideal solution to the current volatile Amiga situation - but we do, however, believe it is a good start, and we hope that you will be made curious enough by the contents of the report, to establish a dialogue with us on the matter, and to consider working with us in an attempt to find a mutually satisfactory solution to the current Amiga situation. Your nomination to president of a young, ambitious, innovative upstart company like Amiga, Inc. could not have come at a better time. The next several months and years will be an exciting time to be a player in the ever-changing fast-paced computing industry. Whatever direction Amiga takes, we wish you and Amiga, Inc. every success in the future. We look forward to your response. Respectfully, Steve Crietzman (president@savetheamiga.org.uk) President, Campaign to Open Source AmigaOS http://www.savetheamiga.org.uk/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P R O J E C T I M P 23 Oct. 1999 "News from Project IMP - the Independent Multimedia Platform We have now our own webserver: www.project-imp.org, or for german visitors www.project-imp.de. The website had been completely redesigned and you will find there lots of new information about the project. Most important news are our support for the Campaign To Open Source The AmigaOS (www.savetheamiga.org.uk) and AROS (www.aros.org). About Project IMP: Project IMP had been founded just after Jim Collas left Amiga and the AmigaMCC had been canceled. It is our intention to keep the Amiga platform alive and give it a future. This goal can only be reached by making the operating system and the hardware open source. Without getting the rights at Amiga to do so, we have to write our own, free OS which will be as much as possible compatible to the existing AmigaOS as a basing for further developments. We will support any group or project that is working in that direction in order to organize and bundle all developments. If you have further quistions, just mail to me: postmaster@project-imp.org Sincerely, Volker Mohr Initiator of Project IMP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- U P D A T E O N " A M I N O - T H E C O M P A N Y " 21 Oct 1999 {Post to the Team Amiga site from Fleecy Moss.

October 1999 : OPEN OFFER FROM GTI GRENVILLE TRADING INTERNATIONAL GMBH, SPECIALISED INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTOR OF AMIGA PRODUCTS GTI Grenville Trading International GmbH, the German-based international distributor of Amiga products today made an open offer to those manufacturers of Amiga products looking for increased sales worldwide. OFFER TO MANUFACTURERS OF AMIGA PRODUCTS LOOKING FOR INCREASED INTERNATIONAL SALES GTI Grenville Trading International GmbH distributes Amiga products (main emphasis - software) to Amiga re-sellers on an international basis. Our customers are based throughout Europe, and in North America and Australasia. With 12 years of experience in the Amiga market, and having built up a ongoing network of clients on a wholesale-only basis (we do not sell to end-users) over the last five years, GTI Grenville Trading International GmbH is in a unique position to ensure availability of Amiga products to Amiga businesses in many countries. Currently well over 250 Amiga products are listed and distributed by GTI Grenville Trading International GmbH. As the market decline of the Amiga has continued, dealers have found it increasingly difficult to source and stock Amiga products. Manufacturers have found it well nigh impossible to supply the thinly-spread network of Amiga dealers with product. GTI Grenville Trading International GmbH now makes the following offer to manufacturers of Amiga products worldwide. We will stock your Amiga products on a turnkey basis ! This basically means that we are prepared to list and sell Amiga products on your behalf to our network of Amiga dealers on an international basis. Under this scheme, we are willing to price products according to manufacturers preferences, and remit proceeds of sales minus an agreed commission fee back to manufacturers on a regular basis. We offer producers the possibility of reaching a large number of Amiga dealers with the minimum of paperwork and fuss. We are happy to list Amiga products and sell on your behalf without ANY minimum quantity - thus enabling even specialised products to obtain an international listing and succeed by their own quality. This scheme is particularly suited to North American manufacturers looking for increased sales of their products to the European Amiga trade and thereby to European Amiga users. Additionally we are able to offer support to those manufacturers offering their products directly to end-users through the internet. Our logistics facility offers a centralised European warehousing for your products, and delivery to end-users on your behalf throughout Europe. We are also able to supply invoicing, cash-collection, marketing, and translation services as and when required. This scheme is particularly suited to North American manufacturers looking for increased sales of their products through E-Commerce to end-users throughout Europe. We would like to invite producers of Amiga products looking for increased product sales to take advantage of one or both of the above schemes and contact us with a view to expanding their market presence on an international basis.

We are currently waiting for boards from Phase 5. Due to the delay we don't expect to have a Phase 5 solution this year. We will continue to provide status updates as we know more. How will the beta program be handled? Historically, we have always had small beta programs because it allows us to spend more time with each beta developer to better address their issues and suggestions. We plan to do the same with this upcoming beta. We will expand the group quickly as we progress. The first beta release for the initial smaller group is planned for early November. This beta will be a full-featured self-hosted development environment. Over the ensuing months, we will be updating the betas with more tools, drivers, and applications. What will the beta development package include? Our first beta is targeted at x86-based computers. The beta will contain: o QNX Neutrino operating system, including tools and drivers. o Photon microGUI windowing system, including a suite of applications, drivers, and development tools o x86-hosted development environment for x86 targets (compiler will be GCC with GBD for debugging) o Online documentation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I M A G E F X R E B A T E If you've been thinking about buying ImageFX 4.0 with the new animation features, now is the perfect time to do so!

To enable this feature add the tool type "FakeNativeModes=Yes" to the monitor driver of one of your cards (defaults to "Yes" with the Draco Altais and "No" for all other cards) and remove all native Amiga monitor drivers (!). Now, when the system uses one of the native Amiga screen modes (currently only LowRes, HighRes and SuperHighRes and their interlaced counter parts), a 640x480 31kHz 60Hz screen mode on the graphics card will be used. Note: this mode is not configurable and it is not intended to be, because you should use real Picasso96 screen mode IDs whenever you can. Its only intention is to get the workbench on a VGA compatible screen when the current screenmode.prefs contains an invalid mode id. May also be useful for some (stupid) programs that default to a custom screen with a native Amiga screen mode after installation. o *NEW FEATURE*: software sprite routines will use on-board blitter when available. Therefore boards which have a blitter reserve about 12 KB of their memory for sprite and back buffers. This might affect the size of the largest screen that can be opened in some systems (mostly with 1MB cards). o *NEW FEATURE*: alerts (Alert(), DisplayAlert(), TimedDisplayAlert()) now are rendered into the front most screen if it is a Picasso96 one. After termination of the alert, the display is restored. o *NEW FEATURE*: board drivers can now prevent the loading and attaching of settings files. Useful for the UAEgfx driver that creates its own modes and cannot use standard settings definitions at all. o *NEW FEATURE*: new environment variable "DisableAmigaBlitter" which even forces blits on standard planar Amiga bitmaps to be performed by the CPU. Set to 'yes' to enable this feature. If you don't use native Amiga screens, this could improve some operations on fast processors. On the other hand, Amiga screens will be slower. Defaults to 'No'. o *NEW FEATURE*: new environment variable "PlanesToFast" which when set to 'Yes' will allocate planar bitplanes to fast memory except when the caller requested a visible or standard bitmap. Defaults to 'No'. o *NEW FEATURE* user can now allocate private bitmaps that do not need to be locked. Especially useful for programs that need temporary fast memory bitmaps for rendering. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A N E W A M I G A S T O R E I S L A U N C H E D 16 Nov 1999 A new Amiga store is open in Phoenix, Arizona.

Czerwinski Merlancia@aol.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- U N I T Y B O A R D 16 Nov., '99 Unity Overview Abstract: Unity alias Zorro1200 is an Autoconfig(TM) board for Amiga. It makes it possible to use Melody1200 and other expansions initially done for A1200's clock port for ZorroII/III Computers. A special property is variable bus speed. It's possible to run expansions nearly as slow as in A1200 but it's even possible to go up to twice that speed known from old Zorro boards like Melody-Z2 or Prelude. Why it's a must have: Unity together with: o Unity-Net 10 results in an efficient, small low-priced 10Base-2 or 10Base-T solution for Amiga different to other solutions Full Duplex-Mode (20Mbps) is supported. o Unity-Net 100 probably is the first and only 10/100BaseTx solution for Amiga. It's unique! o Melody1200 gives the final move for Melody 1200. being the market leader regarding audio precission + bandwidth inside every Amiga. Load is much lower compared to the traditional clock-port connection at A1200. This even means there is room for a Multichannel variant Melody1200. Do you want ous to do such solution? Tell ous! o Twister1200 primary results in higher throughput. The mayor topic is having a real Serial High-End Interface at Zorro-Amiga by not wasting a Zorro slot (since there is the possibility of having an on-board interface that option should be taken first loosing no connector). If there is anybody out there who likes to have three very fast serial interfaces this is possible now. o combinations of these and future boards gives maximum flexibility by using only one Zorro slot Features: o Zorro2 Autoconfig(TM) o Up to 3.5 MB/s bus bandwidth to CPU causing low system load, only o two connectors for Melody1200, Twister1200 and other boards o 16bits connector intended for Networkoption Unity-Net 10 or 100. Board is prepared (production time) for mounting further devices: o Twister1200-style HighSpeed Serial Interface Onboard o xxxx Interface Onboard (secret up to the show;-) Requirements: o Amiga mit Zorro Slot o oder Amiga 1200 mit Bus-Erweiterung Status: o very early prototype was presented at Computer'98, Cologne o final design presented at Home Electronics World in Cologne 1999 http://www.katodev.de/english/unity.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- W I P T E O U T 2 0 9 7 O N M A R K E T 9 Nov 1999 WipeOut 2097 (PPC) is available!

Mikro Mortal Tennis aims to become the craziest game ever in the videogame history!! As you can guess from the title, it is basically founded on tennis game, but its goal is to eliminate your opponents, not simply to defeat them!!! To this purpose, players might make use of loads of Mortal-Kombat and Street-Fighter-like special moves, in addition to many others, directly taken from lots of famous videogames or films. Besides, there are bombs, Fire'n'forget rockets, heat-seeking missiles at their complete disposal... The game boasts an amusing animated intro which will explain the reason of such a strange tournamnet - by the way, your order is to climb a high mountain, just like the second episode of the Mortal Kombat saga; moreover, it features several victory and defeat pictures and an even more crazy final sequence than the intro!! Players can choose their characters from a range of twelve different guys, each distinguished with typical characteristics, which can be edited in the proper menu. Beyond every human conceiving, the game is spangled with lots of mad things, like referee-slaughtering, animals which will appear in the field, VIPs which will perform during the match, and a mysterious tapir named Fart (main character of the game, as you can be able to guess from the introduction) which will perform in a number of funny anims.. At the beginning of the match the players will enter the field and choose the field in which play with an incredible money trowing!! Of course, the sporting side of the game is not to be under-stimated.. You'll always have to win your match!! From this point of view, the game is classicaly structured: pitch type, number of sets to win, type of game (single, double or training),as well as the type of tournament to join; you'll be able to select, in addition to the above-mentioned MK-style tournament, an UNFRIENDLY tournament in which up to eight human players are allowed to take part, or a full season, where player will have to win as much as possible to travel all over the world, and in order to buy weapons and points which will help him in his short career. It's possible to save and subsequently restore your season from disc as well as every change made in the players editing menu, where you're able to change the name, the characteristics and the shirt colour of all the characters... Well, that's all, there's nothing left but wishing you to enjoy Mikro Mortal Tennis! Mikro Mortal Tennis supports all Amiga models with at least 1 Meg of Ram. Mikro Mortal Tennis authors are: Coding: Davide Mancusi - Marco Pacifico Graphics: Marco Pacifico - Sergio Rocco Additional graphics: Enrico Zerbo Musics & sfx: Alex Ascione Storyboard: Valerio Massari - Stefano Gualeni The game is expeceted to retail around the 15 ukp mark. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Amiga Update on the net: All back issues available at: http://www.globaldialog.com/~amigaupdate/index.html Stop by and check out our archive! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1999 by Brad Webb.

Light Force News Andreas Hippauf schreibt: Wir haben ein Programmierteam mit dem Namen "strange worlds" gegründet, (der Name resultiert aus unserer Absicht, ganze virtuelle Welten auf dem Amiga zu erschaffen). Unser erstes Projekt "Newtron" wurde damit noch einen Schritt professioneller. Mit dem Namen kamen auch zwei neue Mitglieder an Bord: Costel Mincea wird als unser Grafiker für das Intro und die Zwischenanimationen verantwortlich sein. Oliver Schuler sollte bereits durch den Amiga-Port von glTron Vielen ein Begriff sein. Er wird uns u.a. mit 3D-Berechnungsfunktionen der Normalen-Vektoren (benötigen wir für die Lichteffekte und Texturen) unterstützen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass das Projekt Newtron nun einen neuen Namen hat: als fertiges Spiel wird es LIGHT FORCE heißen und voraussichtlich auf CD erscheinen. Seit der Namensänderung existiert die alte Internetseite nicht mehr. Die Informationen zu LIGHT FORCE wurden komplett in unsere LA-Workbench integriert und sind unter dem Titellink abrufbar. Dort ist auch eine neue Demo-Version erhältlich! In der Demo gibt es jetzt wahlweise 1 oder 2-Spieler Modus, verschiedene Perspektiven, Kollisionsabfragen, verbesserte Steuerung (v.a. die Maussteuerung!), leider immer noch ziemlich dumme Gegner, der Punktestand wird bereits gezählt usw.! Einfach mal ausprobieren! Wir müssen aber leider darauf hinweisen, dass bisher nur sehr wenig EMails zu Newtron bei uns eingegangen sind! Wir hoffen, dass das Feedback mit der neuen Demoversion besser wird. Solange sich nicht mindestens 200 Amiga-User ernsthaft für das Spiel interessieren, ist es nicht sicher, ob wir das Spiel wirklich fertigstellen werden/wollen. In diesen unsicheren Zeiten ist das Feedback der User das wirklich Wichtige an einem solchen Projekt! Je mehr Leute uns sagen, was Ihnen gefallen hat (oder was nicht), was sie noch gerne drin haben möchten, desto mehr werden wir motiviert, all diese Ideen einzubauen und weiterzumachen!

23.Nov.1999 Jörn Plewka in d.c.s.a.m. |
Support für Twister 1200 (DCE) Jörn Plewka schreibt in d.c.s.a.m.: Ich weise wegen einiger Nachfragen auf folgenden Sachverhalt hin: Seit über einem Jahr hat keiner der Entwicklervereinigung Katodev (mehr) Rechte an Twister 1200, außer die Schaltung für andere Designs weiterverwenden zu dürfen. Andere "Katodev" Designs befinden sich ebenfalls im Prozess des Besitzwechsels. Für den Anwender hat das aber ebenfalls keine negativen Folgen. Einzelne Personen leisten selbstständig und offiziell Support für die Twister 1200 Karten von DCE, weshalb sich Twister Mk2 auf der KatoDev-Webseite findet. Da User (wie wir auch) allgmein schlechte Erfahrungen mit Support gesammelt haben dürften, haben sich die Beteiligten entschlossen, den Support direkt aus erster Hand durch Entwickler/Ingenieur abzuwickeln! Für den Anwender wirkt support@katodev.de als einfach zu merkenden Anlaufpunkt bei Fragen. Intern wird die Nachricht abhängig von Betreff und Inhalt automatisch weitergeleitet. Wir haben übrigens weitere Sammeladressen eingerichtet. Da ein Entwickler zwecks Effizienz nicht permanent seine Arbeit unterbrechen sollte bzw. gar nicht erreichbar ist, weisen wir mochmals darauf hin, uns möglichst nicht anzurufen, sondern Email, WWW und Fax zu nutzen. Sollte telefonieren mal notwendig sein, kann das normalerweise erst nach 18.00 Uhr geschehen (das ist zumindest auch günstiger). Das Risiko besteht aber, dass gerade der falsche Entwickler bereitsitzt. (ps) [Meldung: 23. Nov. 1999, 08:00] [Kommentare: 0] [Per E-Mail versenden] [Druck-Version] [ASCII-Version] |

KOSH Summary no. 28From: "Colin-Stewart Bridge Deady" csbdeady@mythicz.u-net.com Date: 21 Nov 99 20:15:46 +0000 Subject: [KOSH] Summary 28 To: kosh-general@iconimaging.net Reply-To: kosh-general@iconimaging.net Hi all Enclosed is Summary no. 28 - at last. Apologies for the long wait. I feel I may not have done justice to a couple of the concepts present - if so please post a reply with suggested ammendments and I'll incorporate them. -Bridge ----------------------------------------------------------- http://www.mythicz.u-net.com | DT-MUD:sunsite.auc.dk:4242 Amigan | Vegan | KOSHan - "across the crocodile pond with nitroglycerine on a pogo stick" http://www.iconimaging.net/kosh/ =========================================================== 2: ksum28.txt ----------------------------------------------------------- KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware] Summary Inclusive of Dates: 25th September 1999 to 20th November 1999 Number: 028 Mailing List: kosh-general@iconimaging.net I'm happy to receive comments on this summary (and corrections if I have made mistakes). Email me (Bridge) at kosh-scribe@mythicz.u-net.com In the mailing list these last few weeks, the following items were discussed. a) Subject: Formalising past KOSH discussions Summary of debate: It was discussed at length that there is a need to look over past debates on items relevant to KOSH and to present these in a more formal manner. One of the main reasons for this is in order to prevent information relevant to KOSH from being lost in historical records. Instead we would like to take these ideas and cement them into positive feedback for the KOSH project as a whole as an aid to providing further direction for KOSH. In order to accomplish this, it was suggested that voluntary Working Groups be organised, each of which would present a document on a selected topic - based mainly (but not exclusively) on the summaries and other documents from the various mailing lists. Alternatively a more fluid approach could be used in which each person who was interested in contributing to a document on a particular subject would hold the document for a week or two at a time, add their own ideas and correct the previous holder's mistakes (changes being discussed and agreed to by both parties), then pass it on to the next person. When passed around a turn without getting any more changes, the document would be trimmed, signed and posted on the ML where a few additional changes could take place before it is put on the website. It was suggested that working groups can on occasion be inefficient due to large numbers of people being involved. Therefore perhaps 3-6 people should be the limit per topic. A small group of KOSHans is looking into this. b) Subject: KOSH Introductory Website Summary of debate: Marcus Petersson has written some material for an introductory website to KoshOS (thanks Marcus) - if anyone has any information which would be useful for this worthy project please contact Marcus via the ML. c) Subject: Connection troubles resolved Summary of debate: Between the last summary and this one there have been a couple of instances when access to kosh-general@iconimaging.net vanished. Thanks to Jason Radford for putting the bits back in place. Certainly for the last few weeks there have been no connection problems (to my knowledge). d) Subject: GPL Summary of debate: The idea of the Gnu Public Licence was discussed in depth. It was suggested that KOSH should be put into GPL, and this received a mixed response. It was stated that distributing GPL items along with private items is OK as long as clear notices are maintained in the appropriate places. It was further stated that any software programs including or derived from GPL source must be covered by the GPL itself. That doesn't mean that whole suites would become GPL, but would mean that the relevant subsystem would. It was felt by some that GPL could be contrary to the aims of KOSH and therefore should be avoided. However there is also the LGPL or Library Gnu Public Licence which applies to libraries. This licence exist to guarantee that the user still has the ability to modify the library under LGPL but not the product using the library (although the product can be GPL). You can charge for distributing LGPL and GPL software as long as this is limited to things like covering media and postage costs for example. See http://www.gnu.org for more information on Gnu. This debate (as with many) is set to continue. e) Subject: KOSH Contacts database Summary of debate: Suggested was a contacts database for KOSH that would include all "known" KOSHans, others who have a slight interest, developers, newspapers, magazines, etc. This would be useful in two ways. Firstly (and obviously) that it would enable easy dissemination of information relevant to KOSH. Secondly it would be a tool to demonstrate that KOSH is definitely alive and well. Part of this information is available at http://www.iconimaging.net/kosh/kommunity/developers.html f) Subject: K and C Summary of debate: For those that may be wondering, "Kommunity" on the KOSH website is now "Community" due to Babelfish translation problems. KOSH is still KOSH and not COSH as a COSH involves to clubbing people. g) Subject: "KOSH UK" meet. Summary of debate: John Chandler and Greg Webb and I (Bridge Deady) seem to have become "KOSH UK" in that we are all ahem in the UK, are thinking of KOSH at World of Amiga 2000 in the UK and we also recently took part in a KOSH Q&A session via IRC hosted at the Cologne Fair in Germany. If anyone else is in the UK (or abroad and is willing to fly over) and is interested in a "get together" sometime please let us know as this is something we are thinking of. h) Subject: User Interface Website Summary of debate: See http://www.iarchitect.com/mshame.htm which covers examples of good and bad user interface design. i) Subject: KOSH Virtual Credits and taxation Summary of debate: A query was raised concerning tax laws in countries such as the UK and the KOSH Virtual Credits scheme. In the UK (amongst other countries presumably) virtual credits would be liable for tax but that tax would have to paid in UK pounds sterling. It was discussed that if sales are made to EC countries above a certain threshold (apr £70,000 p.a. for the UK) then the seller must register for VAT in that country. This is something to bare in mind but won't become an issue for a while yet. j) Subject: KOSH web site updated Summary of debate: The KOSH website at http://kosh.convergence.org and http://www.iconimaging,net/kosh amongst others has been updated a number of times since the last summary. Feel free to have a quick browse. k) Subject: EROS goes GPL Summary of debate: EROS have gone GPL. See: http://www.eros-os.org/ and for a discussion on this, http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/10/28/0151212&mode=nes l) Subject: Licencing parts of KOSH Summary of debate: It was suggested that we could make a simple policy over licensing of our software. Whenever any module is withdrawn from our distribution it could be put on a countdown for a fixed period. We have the duration of that period to reverse the decision and put it back in under our own terms, but once that period has expired, the source and binary are released under a simple freeware licence. A similar idea was previously discussed in that software developed for KOSH could be given a particular licence that stated the software would lapse into the public domain if certain criteria had not been fulfilled. At the very least the sources released would be of educational use and would hopefully spark off further development. This idea of software licencing received a favourable response from those that commented on it. It was further suggested that some sort of "auction" of old code could take place to generate funds for KOSH (and the author of the code) before it was placed into a free-ish -ware state. This could however allow large corporations to take over KOSH and therefore a limit on the size of bids would be needed. Even so this could cause problems. If an "auction" was implemented then to prevent corporations from buying code and then leaving it dormant a clause in the auction could be that if a new version of the code updated from the original is not forthcoming after a specified time then the code reverts to being the property of KOSH. Overall the idea of code becoming freeware under a licence as discussed initially received a more favourable response than that of an "auction" based system. None of this is supposed to remove the rights programmers have over their own code. It was then suggested that a version of the Mozilla Public Licence may be appropriate. This allows retention of copyright but opens up the potential for others to develop the code. m) Subject: KAROS (KOSH hosted on AROS) Summary of debate: A discussion on hosting KOSH on AROS was held. At least two ideas were forthcoming: 1) AROS can either run standalone or on another OS such as KOSH (once KOSH itself is running of course), 2) AROS could be used as a basic services provider for KOSH allowing us to implement other things without having to spend a large amount of time getting a filesystem, device drivers, etc written first. This is not to detract from the thoughts on hosting KOSH on Linux, AmigaOS, MacOS, Win32, etc. but merely adds another possibility. AROS is available from: ftp://www.aros.org/pub/aros/ n) Subject: Distribution format Summary of debate: It was suggested that KOSH could be distributed on DVD rather than CD which would then enable a program on the DVD to create a hosted-KOSH CD for any given OS. This would enable one DVD to contain versions of KOSH for a large number of systems. However it is hoped that KOSH will be compact enough not to require a DVD for distribution! It was also mentioned that DVD is still not commmonplace everywhere. o) Subject: Linux, GPL and KOSH Summary of debate: It was queried as to whether an OS running hosted through Linux automatically GPL'd? While the LGPL only covers the module concerned, the GPL infects everything it touches. p) Subject: KOSH featured at the Cologne Fair. Summary of debate: KOSH were kindly invited by Hendrik Hoener of Amiga UGN Germany to take a slot in an IRC conference that they are hosting during the Cologne fair. We were represented by Greg Webb, John Chandler and myself (Bridge Deady). We were slotted in directly after Petro Tyschtschenko of Amiga which provided us with a prominent mid-afternoon position. The log of the session, while being a little bit difficult to follow in places (due to three people answering different questions at the same time) can be found at http://ugn.amiga.org/events/hew99.shtml - (Scribe's note: if it becomes unavailable, email me and I'll send you a copy). The main issue that came to light was that a lot of people simply did not know what KOSH is. We fielded a lot of questions to this effect. We gave plenty of references to the website and this ML as well as providing both short and lengthy descriptions. Various other items of great relevance were discussed - and it was mentioned to those online at the time that KOSH will consider these. There will be a threaded summary of the proceedings available from myself in the near future which we can all digest. q) Subject: Formalising documentation of past discussions Summary of debate: Greg Webb, John Chandler and Marcus Petersson have been discussing a proposal for a system to make it easier for more than one person to work on a document. If you would like to be involved in this please contact one of the above via the ML. r) Subject: KOSH IRC Summary of debate: A KOSH IRC session in the nearish future was proposed. This is under consideration. s) Subject: KOSH at World of Amiga 2000 Summary of debate: This has been suggested on numerous occasions and hopefully we will have more news on this idea soon. t) Subject: Protecting systems with an "undo" feature Summary of debate: It was suggested that http://www.powerquest.com/en/secondchance/index.html and http://www.go-back.co.uk/start.htm should interest people as they do this. GoBack may be a better model to work from as it uses it's own partition structure to store the data, while SecondChance just uses ordinary files which need clearing out and cannot be so easily overwritten if the user needs the space.(ps) [Meldung: 22.

Erste Fast-Z2 Karte für das Z4-Board Jens Schönfeld schreibt: Als erste Karte, die den Fast-Z2 Mode des neuen Z4-Boards unterstützt, gibt es jetzt den "Buddha Flash Maxxelerate". Das einstellbare Timing ist weggefallen, es werden also nur noch moderne Festplatten unterstützt. Die Performance gegenüber einem "normalem" Buddha Flash ist ca. 80% höher. Ein A1200 mit Apollo 68040-25 macht knapp 3,1 MB pro Sekunde, was in etwa auch die Performance sein dürfte, die ein 060 oder PPC Board erreicht. Ich erwarte mit einem 68030 bei 40Mhz knapp 5MB pro Sekunde, genauere Messwerte gibt es im Laufe der Woche. Wer seinen Buddha updaten lassen möchte, muss ihn einschicken. Der Preis für das Update ist 35,- DM plus Versandkosten. (ps) [Meldung: 22. Nov. 1999, 08:00] [Kommentare: 0] [Per E-Mail versenden] [Druck-Version] [ASCII-Version] |
