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.

Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper: Another SID-driver for the Catweasel
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.

Set-top boxes and more: New statement by Genesi
In a new statement (title link) Raquel Velasco und Bill Buck of Genesi have
a.o. announced a contract for Pegasos and MorphOS based set-top boxes, which
provides for the cash flow necessary for the other projects.
Shows are expensive. 100,000 Dollars have been invested in a short
period of time just for the CES in Las Vegas and the ARC in Aachen and
the respective attention grabbing (not to forget the cost for the other public presentations and events).
Furthermore it contains another hint at having applied legal measures to get
AmigaOS on the Pegasos.
According to the announcement, the Pegasos is shipped with MorphOS, DebianPPC,
Mac-on-Linux and a bundle of games and applications. Ports of OpenBSD and
Gentoo are said to be in the works and available before the CeBIT. Furthermore
there are talks about ports of BeOS, OpenBeOS, NetBSD, Zeta and NewOS. SuSE and
Mandrake are already running on the Pegasos.
