Meeting: Amiga Inside Part II
Matthias M. reports: Amiga Inside - Part II is finished and we would like to thank all the visitors and our sponsors. It was once again a very successful party, even if the number of Amigas has declined. On all three days we tinkered, screwed, socketed and explained.
The use of projectors was a complete success. Many films were shown and so the nights passed without much sleep. Steffen Häuser of Hyperion came and showed us the current version of Quake 2, and it made a very good impression in terms of playability and stability, and the networking functions were able to be extensively tested. The weather also cooperated and we were able to have a barbecue on Sunday evening.
A few pictures have been uploaded to the homepage, and more will follow. I hope we all get to do it again next year! -greetings, Matthias

CD32-Allianz web site temporarily inaccessible
As some might already have noticed, the home page of the CD32-Allianz is
currently inaccessible. The reason for this is not that we are giving up, but rather
that we have exceeded our server space, and have thus been shut down
(Arcor has halved the web space to 25 MB).
Some cover scans have now been deleted, and we hope to get activated again
soon. Of course there will be another announcement on amiga-news.de when that
happens! Regarding the increasing need for web space we will then think of a
solution.

Amiga, Inc.: Bill McEwen's September 2002 Executive Update
Bill's latest update touches on a plethora of topics including the
Sacremento show, the Amiga club, the AmigaOne, PDA/Cellphones, Bernie
Meyer's product and the possibility of new product(s) from Amiga:
September 5, 2002 - From the desk of Bill McEwen
Greetings to one and all:
I would first like to thank all of those that I had the chance to meet
in Sacramento. While a short trip it was indeed great fun and real delight
meeting with all of you and hearing not only the encouraging words, but
also sharing in your concerns, desires, and dreams. We are looking forward
to deliver on what we discussed with you.
When we purchased Amiga from Gateway there were many out there who said
that we would fail. There were many out there who have worked against
our efforts, and others that have misrepresented fact and manipulated
privileged information in order to further their obviously self serving
goals. There have been those who have wronged us, and caused us damage.
But, guess what? We are still here! We are still delivering! We are going
to stay here! Amiga is about people, technology, excellence, we are a
most tenacious people, and we have the community to prove it. Has it always
gone according to plan? no. Have we made some adjustments to the plan?
yes. Are we delivering on the plan? yes. Will we allow others to dictate
our future? Absolutely not. Period..
Because of you, the Amiga dream lives, because of you, Amiga's are still
being used throughout the world performing amazing tasks and activities,
and because of you, we are still here and moving forward.
Amiga is a giant resting for the day of the fight, and gaining strength
quietly, for, as we embark on this mission together, nothing will tear
us apart.
Thank you once again for supporting us, and showing to the world that
what was begun in 1985 was truly only the beginning.
Bill McEwen, and the Amiga Team
Amiga Club Members:
I would also like to take a minute and say a special howdy to all of the
club members. It is really encouraging to see all of the activity and
input from you with regards to the shirt design and name for the club.
The "I am Amiga" name did not go over as well as I had thought,
but in the next couple of weeks (after we get the ok from those who already
have the name that was selected) we will all have the name and shirt design
with which an be happy and proud to wear. Each member will receive their
first newsletter in the next two weeks, and there will be all sorts of
great announcements and information e, so look forward to it in your inbox.
As a reminder we will be having a new drawing for an Amiga Enabled Cell
Phone in September, and we would encourage those of you who have not joined
yet, to get in here and do so. We have many plans and activities coming
up for the club, and once again for only $ 50.00 you will receive the
newsletter, Shirt and other special promotions. The lifetime membership
offer has ended, but we would encourage you to be a part of something
really exciting as the members will continue to receive special discounts
and exclusive programs directed at the membership. We will honor the "$50.00
off" certificate for the next members who join through the end of
September, at which point we will hold the draw for the new cell phone.
September 1st, 2002:
As mentioned in Sacramento at AmiWest, we had offered amnesty to those
people/companies/entities who have knowingly stolen our IP and used it
for their own gains, or who have shipped product knowing that they are
illegal had until the end of August in order for them to comply and to
get legal.
Now, I am not going to mention names nor am I going to get into a public
discourse on what is happening.. But legal action has begun. In the next
two weeks papers will be served. We will target one violator at a time
with the hope that we will send a very clear signal that this is very
serious, will not be permitted and will be stopped.
This is a private action between Amiga Inc, and those who wish to continue
in this practice. While we announced publicly our intentions, the actions
will be private. I am sure that everyone can understand this and I hope
will support this.
AmigaOne Update:
Well, the amazing team of Eyetech and Hyperion are doing a great job.
Many of you already have in your possession the AmigaOne boards, and many
more of you have seen the hardware in action. This is indeed another major
leap forward as we near the release of the new hardware and OS 4.0. Eyetech
and Alan Redhouse have been doing a great job of keeping everyone informed
of the progress, and we look forward to the products release.
AmigaOS 4.0:
Hyperion and the team are making amazing strides here. The screen shots
that we all see and the updates from Ben and the people working on it
shows great progress. I know that they are working hard with regard to
the integration into the AmigaOne, and I for one am looking forward to
seeing it all working together, and from what I hear we are not too far
off from making that happen. With this stated we have received some more
shots of the interface from the OS 4.0 team. You can see the new AmiDock screenshots here.
PDA/Cell Phone Update:
As mentioned in Sacramento the Amiga Anywhere Content Engine and associated
content will be shipping on the new Sendo™ SmartPhone™ when
it ships. Now, to answer the many e-mails that I have received about the
Sendo phone…. I do not know when the device will ship commercially;
it is out of our hands with regard to when they will have the phone available.
I will tell you that before the end of the year we will be making at least
two more Cell Phone announcements and at least two more PDA announcements.
We are really starting to move on getting these business deals done and
there will be many more opportunities for our developers to create new
products for these cutting edge devices.
A Possible New Product Offering - Let me know your thoughts:
In recent dealings with one of our hardware OEM's they offered an opportunity.
This opportunity is for excellent laptop hardware at excellent prices.
They would be dual boot systems with Linux/UAE, and Bernie Meyers product
(formally known as Amithlon) pre-loaded on the device. Here is a sample
of some of the pricing that you could expect, all prices quoted are in
US$:
Processor |
RAM |
Display |
Hard Drive |
Optical media |
Software |
Price |
Intel® 1.2GHz Celeron™ |
256MB |
15.0" TFT |

Intel® 1.6GHz Pentium® 4 |
256MB |
SXGA TFT |
30GB |
DVD/CDRW Combo |
Linux/UAE Ami* |
$1679 |
These examples are notebook computers. There are other options available, but
I am trying to find out how many of you would be interested in purchasing these
through your local Amiga dealer. Let us know by sending an e-mail to interested@amiga.com.
There are also desktops and other configurations but I think that a notebook
Amiga would be compelling. Let us know.
The Product Formally Know as Amithlo*:
As mentioned before Bernie Meyers has a wonderful product, and we expected
it to be out by now. However there have been a couple of delays, none
of these are engineering driven, that has delayed the release. I can tell
you that the new product will be out very soon, and will offer some new
requested features, and from what I understand is really going to knock
your socks off. We will have an update concerning the timing of this release
and the new name very shortly. So contrary to what you may have heard,
it will be available soon.
Developers:
This message is an update for you. You have created some of the greatest
content that the world has ever known. Your skill sets and your tenacity
have overwhelmed many, and everyday you become more and more important
to the future.
If you have been sitting on the sidelines I encourage you to jump in.
We are getting requests from many of our OEM partners with regard to content
that they are looking for on their devices.
While it has been a slow start (as is always the case in developing a
market), this next quarter is going to see major movement, and distribution.
We have many programs ready to take place for the Holiday season and we
want you to be a part of it. So I encourage you to jump in make contact
with us. Join us in creating the future.
In closing I wish to thank each and every member of the Amiga family
for their support and good wishes in this amazing journey that we have
embarked upon together. We are closer today than we were yesterday to
the dreams and goals of Amiga. Tomorrow we will be closer again, and soon
we can all share in the rewards.
Sincerely,
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team

System Monitor: Sysmon V1.20a
On the 2nd of September Etienne Vogt released Version 1.20a of his shell-based System Monitor. Check the ReadMe Text
for more information about the program. Since version 1.20 the following changes have been made:
- 'UnMount ALL' will now ignore ENV: as well as RAM: if mounted as a
separate handler. This allows late shutdown code to access global
environment variables in all cases and also avoids problems with
Env-Handlers that have broken ACTION_DIE support.
- Added FRAGS option to the Sysmon monitor Show Memory command.

Relaunch of www.qdev.de
After nearly four years of online presence it has come to a great demand
to renew my homepage completely. The new pages are all bilingual (German/English) and most of the content has been improved. Originally I wanted to finish all this earlier, but the successful finish of my first university degree (informatics) as well as the work for the Amidock for OS4 were (reasonable) more important.

Thendic: MorphOS runs on the "AmigaOne" already
Within a comment at ANN Bill
Buck and Raquel Velasco told, that MorphOS runs on the AmigaOne already.
Futher Ben Hermans (Hyperion) is told that he's welcome to buy a Pegasos from those actually produced 1000 pcs run without doing the betatesting.
At least Thendic offers the interested ones to send them a detailed report
about all the legal issues ("detail legal brief").
