Mai Logic Inc. earns "Ready for IBM Technology" Validation
FREMONT, CA. February 10, 2003. Mai Logic Incorporated, a
technology design house of integrated circuits/systems,
announced today that it has achieved "Ready For IBM Technology"
validation for its Articia S system controller and Teron CX
and Teron PX evaluation system boards for IBM's 750CXe and
750FX PowerPCTM processors based applications.
"MAI Logic has successfully developed optimized supporting
devices and reference designs for PowerPCTM microprocessor
application platforms which have passed a rigorous PowerPCTM compatibility validation testing process by IBM Microelectronics
labs," said Lisa Su, Director of PowerPCTM and emerging products,
IBM Microelectronics. "Solutions like MAI's 'Ready for IBM
Technology' chipset and evaluation systems give developers more
ways to enhance their applications, resulting in improved time
to market, more cost effective designs, and improved performance
products by our OEM customers."
"We at MAI are very excited about this latest achievement," said
Jason Hou, CEO of Mai Logic, Inc. "We will continue working
closely with IBM to better our product designs and development
following IBM's PowerPCTM processor roadmap. By leveraging the
strong ties we have with our manufacturing partners in Taiwan
and the close relationship with the leading developers worldwide,
MAI intends to deliver the most cost-effective, highest-quality
PowerPCTM offerings to the traditional PowerPCTM market place
and expanding it into new applications presently not in the
PowerPCTM application domain. This validation will further enable
IBM's and MAI's customers to accelerated time to market coupled
with significantly reduced resource deployment and management
costs."
Articia S
Articia S is the first in the Articia family of chipsets
designed with the revolutionary "Bus-Centric" methodology
to achieve a more balanced and efficient architecture serving
both CPU and peripheral bus requirements. Articia S can
support single- or dual-processors at 133MHz CPU bus speed.
It is also the first commercialized system controller to
provide AGP support for RISC processor based systems.
Next-generation Articia Sa and Articia P will soon be
available. For product details, please visit: http://www.mai.com.
Teron
Teron CX and Teron PX evaluation systems are generic ATX
motherboards built with PowerPCTM processors. The former is
the first PowerPCTM processor based board with enhanced AGP
option and the latter equipped with a 300-pin MegArray
connector, provides easy configuration to a range of
development platforms driven by single-processor and
dual-processor CPU module cards (including the latest
PowerPCTM 750FX processor).
The "Ready for IBM Technology" program is developed to help
OEMs identify hardware or software of IBM Business Partners
that have received validation with IBM's products. Eligible
participants must complete the validation process to obtain
the approval and use of the "Ready for IBM Technology emblem
as well as to further distinguish their product listings in
the IBM Global Solutions Directory. For more information,
please go to: http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/products/wired/alliances/rfit.html.

AmiChess: New version with increased playing strength
Under the title link there is a new version of AmiChess which has been
recompiled with StormC 4. Apart from some minor bug fixes, the WarpOS
version in particular has benefitted from the recompilation.
Calculation speed of the WOS version could nearly be doubled! Thus AmiChess
with the GNUChess engine is a match for "Crafty" (see Aminet), the chess
engine with currently the highest plaing strength!
I wish all chess friends a good time with the new version!

Golem: Opera-browser gets wrong data of msn.com
»msn.com prevents a correct view when visiting it with Opera browser
In a current message Opera blames msn.com delivering wrong style sheets to the Opera 7.0
to give the user the impression the Norwegian browser would not show the sites in a correct
way. Already in October 2001 there was an eclat because Microsoft had locked out users
with the browsers Opera, Mozilla and Knoqueror of the website msn.com.«

Inofficial MorphOS-Patch for IBrowse 2.3
Unofficial MorphOS version string patch for IBrowse 2.3.
IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS.
(Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as
running AmigaOS 4.0).
This is a crude hack that just replaces all "AmigaOS" strings with
"MorphOS", and "3.1", "3.5", "3.9" and "4.0" with "1.1" or "1.2".
Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.
There is no warranty. Use at your own risk.

amiga-news.de: New Glossary
Under the title link you will find a newly formulated glossary, which is based on the old Internet-ABC. In order to tend the slogan designations better, Sven Drieling has put together a small databank that allows cross-connections to be made.
Whoever has suggestions for further concepts can send them in an email to Petra Struck or enter them here in the commentary function - if at all possible, with an understandable description of the keyword.
The glossary has been reachable for some time through the upper menu in the last row, in the second spot. The link had to be led through to the guestbook, which is also reachable through the footer.

Filesharing: DirectConnect Client for AmigaOS
Diego 'DCR8520' Casorran has ported DCTC ("DirectConnect Text Client") to the Amiga (see also today's report).
DCTC is a text-based client for the file-sharing network "Direct
Connect". An early beta version of Amiga-DCTC is ready for download.
Diego needs beta testers to support him in debugging the program.
More information about DC (DirectConnect) may be found on the website of the manufacturer publisher's website for the Windows version. Diego shows how one may get the initial results with DCTC. First you need a list of all usable HUBs:
run: hublist >ram:HubList
Each line of the list looks like this:
[DK]Moviezone©|moviezone.dyndns.dk|Min 60 GB. [MZ-Group]|507|||||
Next you pick out a HUB (in the above example "moviezone.dyndns.dk"),
additionally you must select a pseudonym and put in your IP Address (it should work with these minimal entries):
dctc --nick=YOURNICK -a=YourHost/IP --hubip=moviezone.dyndns.dk
If everything works, you'll now be connected to the HUB and the HUB will show a few bits of information (read it!) and now you may begin to send orders to the hub.
HINT: You might be banned for the HUB, when your combination of "Connection" and "Shared Bytes" is not meeting the standard. In such a case you should use the command "/CNX T3" to set the server to a higher connection speed ("Connection") or "/OFFSET 1234567890" to raise the "Shared Bytes" (the amount of the data you are offering).
Please BE SURE to read the supplementary documentation, and let us know your experiences with it.
Direct download: dctc-0.84.1.lha
[HINT: DCTC was unavailable on the master server (title link). The link for the direct download may in that case be accessed via a mirror].

Sharp criticism is directed by Hewlett-Packard at the ruling of the German Patent
and Trademark Office because of the fee on PCs in the amount of 12 Euros for
every purchased machine. The regulatory officials of the Evaluation Society (VG)
placed this fee for carrying the VG designation on the 31st of January. Originally it was to be
30 Euros.«

OS4 Team seeking Translators
As you can see in the title, translators for German and other languages are being sought for OS4, because the translation service ATO can't help in all areas. Other needed translations include: Bosnian, Croatian, Hungarian, Norwegian, Persian, Portugese and Swedish.
Whoever wants to help must sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement =
silence stipulation) at Amiga Inc. Other requirements are an Amiga with AmigaOS 3.9 and Boing Bag #2 installed, and a PGP key of at least version 2.6.3 (or compatible).
Interested people should send an email to the coordinator,
David Rey.

Thomas Richter in c.s.a.p.: Further Developers Needed
Thomas Richter writes in the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.programmer:
As you may or may not know, my Amiga "died" a few months ago and I decided to shelve all support for my Amiga software, starting with DiskSafe and ending with MuLib Packet. A new Maintainer must also be found, one who is interested in further developing all or part of my software. The terms are that the software must continue to be publicly available on terms simlar to the ones that I've established.
I will NOT agree, to release this stuff under GPL or LGPL.
The skills needed are C (ANSI-C) Programming for one half of the projects and advanced Motorola 68k Assembler for the other.
Additionally needed (naturally) an Amiga and a C-Compiler, possibly SAS/C, because the projects are based on this. And Motorola-Assembler, possibly the DevPac, because I used a lot of notes with the macro-functions. The
PhxAss is not sufficient for most Assembler-based projects.
The "earliest works" (not the MuLib Packet of course) are documented in German (...).
The sources are completely backed up and available and usable, because I was always a bit concerned about backups, and rightly so. Please send inquiries to my normal email address:
thor@math.tu-berlin.de.
So long and see you later!
Cordially,
Thomas
