Amiga Lan party in Braunschweig cancelled
The Amiga Lan party in Braunschweig, which had been planned for 8th and 9th
February 2003, has been cancelled due to lack of participation.
At the current number of registrations the operating expenses for a LAN party
don't make sense. We, the organisators, regret having to realise that there
is hardly any interest within the region, and thus cancel the party. Sorry to
all of those who had registered.
If the assessment should change some time during the year, we would be glad to
start a new try.

Instant messenger: mICQ Version 0.4.10.1 for Amiga and other systems
Version 0.4.10.1 of mICQ has been released for Amiga and other systems. mICQ is
a very portable ICQ program which runs in text mode - it runs on Linux, BSD,
AIX, HPUX, Windows, AmigaOS and, with restrictions, BeOS. Originally it had
been written by Matthew D. Smith, yet largely rewritten since by Rüdiger
Kuhlmann, in particular the necessary support of version 8 of the
ICQ protocol,
internationalisation, file transfer as well as some code restructuring.

End of GRex petition
M. Lück wrote:
Today is the end of the GRex-petition. Until today 296 users have subscribed.
TriMa and me want to thank you for your support. Unfortunately this petition has failed.
I want to explain in the following lines why it is so.
Two weeks after the start of the petition I have sent the first list with all signatures
(without email addresses) to DCE per email. I got an answer of DCE at once. DCE wrote
that they would be glad about a support of OS4 and that they are interested in the current
discussion.
We got the information of Steffen Häuser that the cybpci.library written by Ralph 'Laire' Schmidt
will not work in the 68k emulation because of the 68k MMU setup. So the petition still
became more important because presently GRex users have no chance of getting AmigaOS 4.0
started.
We got all information per email which Hyperion needs to support the GRex. Four addresses
are needed:
- The base of GRex I/O address
- The interrupt acknowledge address
- The base address of config space mappings or
- the PCI-config and PCI-data address
No circuit diagramm, hardware or software documents are needed. These information I
sent DCE per email. I have not got any response until today.
Then we got the information that bplan has the hardware rights. This means DCE has only
a licence for the GRex. If this is true or not we do not know. One week ago I contacted
Mr. Carda per email for getting clearness. But I also have not got any response until now.
That is a pity.
Now we hope that we can attract attention by posting this article.
Thank you very much again to all participants...
The attempt of moving something forward means so much to us - also if it may fail.

The second Amiga-based SID-driver is a playsid.library that accesses the SID of the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper directly. At the moment this only works on Catweasel controllers that are plugged in a Zorro slot of an Amiga, support for Clockport-connected controllers will be added shortly. Playsid plays back a lot of tunes that are known from C64-games and demos. The probably most famous collection of SID music is the High Voltage Sid collection that contains more than 20000 songs.
