CeBIT 2003 - Photos and short report from Fun Time World
Sebastian Brylka of Fun Time World
set out and looked for innovations on the CeBIT 2003. Among others he also
visited the Plexuscom/Pegasos booth. The resulting photos and a short report can
be found under the title link. Interested people are welcome to stop by and have
a look. Maybe interesting for some: Amiga computers were also to be seen at the
CeBIT 2003!

Programmer wanted for project 'Fli4l on Amiga'
Oliver 'Bladerunner' Hummel writes:
Maybe some of you know the software router package fli4l (see title link). With
this software and a 486 it is possible, to create a fairly comfortable Linux
based hardware router.
The whole thing works quite good, and also the collaboration with the Amiga
works out excellently. The only downer so far: In order to create the required
boot diskette, up to now a Windows/Linux PC is still needed.

AmigaWorld: Weekly Q&A's with Fleecy Moss - episode 1
As announced by the English Internet magazine AmigaWorld, the magazine will ask Fleecy Moss, CTO at AMIGA, Inc., ten questions per week (Update 2012-03-17, cg: as the original document is no longer available, the following content was moved into our database):
1) Rebel: "Why SO silent? AInc has been quiet for months at a time, giving the naysayers, and rumour mongers a chance to do more damage, and divide the community even more.".
Fleecy: As my mother used to, and still does say to me 'Don't say anything unless you have something to say.' Keith Blakemore Noble pointed out on ANN that this is what we said we would do when we bought the company in 2000 and then we went back on this pledge. The problem we have, although it is a good problem is that the Amiga has a community and the community wants to know what is going on, more so given the nightmare of the last eight years.
Our initial policy was thus to say nothing until we had news to share. With all the requests we then got for news, it became very difficult for us to keep to our policy. We thus resurrected the Executive Updates but in these we made the mistake of sharing status and progress information and as anyone in business knows, business is a distillation process - 100 leads may lead to 20 contacts which lead to 5 contracts which may, if you are lucky lead to 1 deal.
Even more unfortunate, the deals we were able to announce, the Sharp Zaurus, the Nokia MediaTerminal, the Sendo Z100 were pulled out from under us - the Zaurus for Sharp internal reasons, the MediaTerminal because of the collapse of ITV digital and another Germany company and the Sendo situation is well understood (although there is still hope there of a new deal based upon the unique advantages of the AmigaDE).
So, in terms of news items we haven't done too well.
To add to this (and many will shout and scream about this but it is true), Amiga Inc has been under attack from several groups who have other axes to grind, whether they want an x86 solution, AmigaOS open sourced, protection code and licencing removed from AmigaOS4.0 or want to encourage people to move to another platform whilst claiming it is an Amiga. Of course in a community there is disagreement but in a community that disagreement is either tolerated or the community splits apart. Everything we were saying in public was being taken apart and turned to support whatever was the position of the poster.
In the end, we decided to revert back to our original policy since it became apparent that all anyone really cared about was the release of AmigaOS4.0. This then brought us full circle to the original situation, that when saying nothing, noisemakers will rush to fill the silence. If you don't counteract the rumours then its because they are true and if you do pop up to counteract them then that must be because they are true. The only way to win is to get AmigaOS4.0 out the door and so that is what we are concentrating on at the moment.
Part of the reason for this Q&A service is to rubbish the claim that we won't talk to the community. We just won't say anything if it isn't 110% guaranteed anymore and that is the way people seem to want it.
2) SlimJim: "It is well known that this first release of AOS4 is mainly aimed for the existing user-base and eventual old Amigans. What is Amiga Inc's (overall) marketing strategy with respect to AmigaOS4 + Aone (once they become available)?".
Fleecy:
1. Move the community to new hardware and operating system.
2. Develop audio and 2d/3d productivity architectures with Amiga and non Amiga developers
3. Create applications to take advantage of these architectures to carve out solution markets
4. Support development of applications that round the appeal of the platform - browser, email client, word processor
5. Integrate with the AmigaDE to open access to multiple platform markets, both open and solution based
6. As we build the application base to where it can successfully provide for different roles, we will then push it out into those markets.
In short, there is no point in pushing the Amiga into a market where it is not yet ready to provide an adequate solution or it will die before it takes its first step. To do that we need the hardware, the operating system, the application base and the support services in place.
3) Herewegoagain: "Will they [Amiga Inc.] be negotiating with Microsoft to bring Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and Media Player to OS4?".
Fleecy: It is something we have considered but again, as with all the other application developers out there on other platforms, until we can plonk a machine and operating system in front of them, there is little point. The perennial problem, of course is that these companies are busy with their main activities and seeing their product ported to another platform, particularly one as small as the Amiga is not something that they wish to consider. In the end, they will only 'get out of bed' if there is a large market or we provide them with financial incentive.
4) alx: "Assuming everything goes to plan, at what point in the future will Amiga start to advertise the A1/OS (not just to Amigans)?".
Fleecy: I refer you back to question 2 - we will market and advertise when the full solution is ready for those markets. This doesn't mean that there won't be penetration. We have many journalists ready to review and write about the machines. Amiga is a big story to them because the Amiga was such a large part of people's lives in the past. We will have services in place to take advantage of and capture that interest, to make use of it when the conditions are right.
5) reflect: "Maybe I've missed this when I read the featurelist, but I couldn't see ARexx there. Will ARexx still be included, and if so, will it have gotten an overhaul internally or will it 'just' be ported or will it be emulated?"
Fleecy: The ownership issues surround the original ARexx implementation are well known and we have been unable to gain access to the source. The existing 68k ARexx binary will thus be emulated. We are reviewing the entire scripting and application control for both AmigaDE and AmigaOS4 as mentioned later on.
6) unclecurio: "What are AInc doing to attract past developers to produce updated versions of their software? For example, Photogenics has ceased development for AmigaOS but would be a great product to bring back in an updated version.".
Fleecy: We are working in the background but I don't want to go into too much detail as it has become apparent that competitors are approaching the same people and trying to tie them into exclusive deals that would keep their products from AmigaOS4.0. Providing them with a list of who we are approaching, both within the Amiga community and on other platforms would really be doing their work for them. Suffice it to say that we are being as open as we can with all the developers that we have been able to locate still developing for the AmigaOS and with one or two exceptions, they are very receptive to what we have been able to tell them.
7) Eric_Z: "Is A.inc. currently involved in porting over office apps to AACE or OS4?".
Fleecy: For Amiga Anywhere, we are encouraging development of the applications that our customers are telling us they want, and this is almost always games. However, we do have customers who have requested education and productivity software and we have one of the best calculators ever created on a software platform and a digital picture application that is impressing lots of people. In the end, we encourage and work on whatever is being asked for.
8) mood: "Will there be any Amiga-Anywhere/AmigaDE-player for AmigaOS 4.x?".
Fleecy: We have already stated that we are targeting an AACE player for AmigaOS4.2
9) DaveW: "Is SHEEP the scripting language that looked rather cool available or going to be available this year for Amiga based programmers to get their hands on?".
Fleecy: We are currently reviewing SHEEP in the context of the AmigaDE and AmigaOS4 and looking at how it can be used to bring the two together as both are moved forwards and towards each other.
10) Pig: "Where do you see the company in 5 years, and where do you see AmigaOS at that time?".
Fleecy: I hope that we are on many different types of device and providing a seamless digital enviroment for users irrespective of their hardware. We have a marketing slogan we use, the new WWW, which means Whatever, Wherever, Whenever.

CeBIT 2003: Report and photos from Ron van Herk
A short summary of some of the things happening here at CeBIT from Ron van Herk
1. We have nearly finalized our agreement with our new Russian Distributor.
MorphOS will have a Russian localisation and will become successful in
Russia. Genesi's André Siegel will work as an 'interface' between the new
distributor and the developers that need to get this done. Russian
programmers interested in assisting this process can receive a fully
configured Pegasos in exchange for their work. In the bigger picture, once
the Russian localisation is done we will have a model to do the same in
other languages and localisations.
2. 3Sat visited Genesi today and shot footage of the Pegasos, the Psylent,
MorphOS, etc. We showed MorphOS working with several apps, games and the
Internet which they all filmed. The editor, Ralph Benz is a long-time Amiga
user and is very enthusiastic! We gave him a bunch of T-Shirts to give to
viewers (or to keep for themselves). Not a bad deal for free TV coverage I'd
say ;-)
Enclosed are two pics, 1 high-res foto of the desktop case and one of me and
Robert Han of Plexuscom with the Psylent.
That's all for now.
Sincerely,
Ron

Compass Hardware for Amiga (Principle Circuit)
Carsten Siegner has built a principle circuit for a compass. This circuit is unusually sensitive and already detect the north pole
of the Earth's magnetic field.
For the operation here comes a very sensitive KMZ-51 magnetic field sensor. This includes a sensitivity of - 0.2
kA/m to + 0.2kA/m. Built into the chip are magnetic recessive resistances in the form of a Wheatstone bridge. The sensitivity
(uncompensated), relative to measurement setting, carries (16mV/V) /
(kA/m).
Attention: the sensor is circuit broken in an SMD housing and on that account may only be soldered with great
difficulty. The sensor can pick up the electrical field of the computer. So one must compensate for this. One may not
divert a magnetic field greater than 1 kA/m with the sensor, or else the Wheatstone bridge will always keep the exit value.
In order for this not to happen one must use the chip's internal reset coils. The chip ZN424 is unfortunately very difficult to
flush. Unfortunately it is so far the only operation enhancer that can energize the tension variables of the Earth-field
detector. Siegner tested other OPs, but none came close to the strengthening of the ZN424.
Unfortunately the software programming is not as simple a thing as the hardware. The measurement
value fluctuates constantly due to the diverting magnetic fields of the TV or the computer. On account of that one can't
directly recognize the Earth's magnetic field. Of course when one adjusts the circuit slowly then one recognizes that the
measurement value declines further, the more the sensor is turned from the north-south position. Because the sensor
is now polarized, this means that one can differentiate a magnetic field between north and south, and may now recognize
the Earth's magnetic field from the correction measurement value. Only the calculations of the whole thing are going to be
beautifully difficult. Every metallic resistance will cause disturbance to the setting of the measurement values.

CeBIT 2003 - Visit to Genesi (Update II)
Martin Heine describes his impressions of Genesi's convention stand at this year's CeBIT 2003 in Hannover. You'll find a few pictures
at the end of his report.
The first appearance of Genesi at the CeBIT in Hannover takes place at the stand of Plexus - on the other hand Plexus will
be Genesi's guest at this year's CeBIT Australia.
Pegasos computers with MorphOS installed are being shown, another board separately for demonstrational purposes, as
well as case prototypes for example for the Pegasos homeserver Psylent or high end "set top boxes" (as opposed to smaller, simpler
DTV STBs).
One of the Pegasos computers is to be found in a prototype case, which was also just displayed in Aachen: here
sits a micro ATX board directly behind an LCD display, and in the base you'll find for example the CD drive and the frontal
USB connections.
As a small new MorphOS development (in relation to the latest update on the FTP server) a transparent menu
option is there, as well as a graphical selector for setting Preferences.
In the way of programming, Internet and multimedia software were shown, as well as a range of emulators, for
example Bochs, through which Windows95 was run in an Ambient window on the G3/600 Pegasos.
There were no new press releases, at least not on the first day of the convention, but it was confirmed that the long
awaited Articia Northbridges from Mai arrived by Genesi in the meantime, so the last run of Pegasos boards may now go into
production.
Addtionally Arend-Paul Spijkerman, the developer of Mediapoint, was hired by Genesi. With this product, combined
with Pegasos and MorphOS, Genesi is able to open another market segment, and Ron van Herk hopes to be able to demonstrate
this at CeBIT Australia.
No official news was offered about the Pegasos II, however one may be confident that the development might be
concluded earlier than expected.
Finally, a TV crew paid Genesi a visit: Ralph Benz von "Neues..." (ZDF/3sat) was reported in
detail on Wednesday about current events related to Pegasos and MorphOS and he'll be back again with the camera crew to
film on the second day of the convention. (nba)

Translator wanted (Englisch - German)
Andreas Falkenhahn writes:
I am looking for someone who might translate the manual of Hollywood to German.
It should have been finished some time ago but due to some unfortunate circumstances including the loss of data of a nearly finished German manual we are now just back to the start again.
If there might be someone who would do this job the one will receive an extensive
Airsoft Softwair bundle incl. Hollywood full version. I will emphasize here that the translation really will be a big job. It is about a good 250 kilobytes of plain text which has to be translated. Something like this will surely take more than just two evenings. Interested ones might contact me to check the details.

H&P: StormC programmer needed
For the porting of the loganalyzers Sawmill we are looking for an
Amiga programmer, who is used to StormC and/or GCC. It
concerns thereby not the adjustment of sources, but rather the
adjustment of libraries, so that the source can be compiled on the Amiga. The payment is to be made in form of a participation in
turnover at the sales of the Amiga version. If you are interested please contact Markus
Nerding.

Terra Soft: Teron-PPC-Board not longer available in the Online-Store
Terra Soft ATX PowerPC Systems
Terra Soft Current and Pending Customers,
"Many of you have enthusiastically and patiently awaited the delivery of MAI Logic's Teron motherboards on which Terra Soft's Boxer ATX systems will be built. We have removed the Teron-based systems from our online Store until further notice in order to reduce further confusion and false expectations. We promise to bring this product to market as soon as possible." -- Terra Soft Team
Background could be a diversity of opinion between Terra Soft and Mai
Logic. According to rumors, which Mike Bouma in the Amiga World forum
drew "from reliable sources", Terra Soft demands 20 US dollar per
produced and sold Main board, including the AmigaOne boards, since
these boards can implement Yellow Dog Linux. These rumors were so far
not confirmed officially.
