The Airsoft homepage actually gives a screenshot of every Rainboot bootconfiguration. So you can review your configuration before downloading it. Too bad you cant hear the many excellent sounds played during the booting. (ps)

AROS:State Of Developement Of The IBM Version
The code to build AROS standalone (to boot an IBM compatible PC) is now much better integrated into the rest of the system. After boot, AROS opens a VGA screen (no use of the text mode just like on the Amiga) and you are in SAD. When the console is finished (should be just a couple of hours to finish... if someone has the time and the knowledge ?), we will have a new Amiga based on PC hardware. (ps)

ZDNet: ITG shopping list: Communications, consumer electronics
More rumors. An article speculates about a cooperation between Amiga and IBM. Another potentially major customer is Gateway Inc. The North Sioux City, S.D., company's Amiga division is developing a wide range of information appliances, including game players and Web access devices. A deal with Amiga would be a boost to ITG's plan to enable "pervasive computing." Gateway already has a cross-licensing agreement with IBM, but Gateway officials wouldn't say what the deal covers. Neither party would comment on a potential deal with Amiga. (ps)

Tip: BVisionPPC with Overlay
Andreas Burmberger writes:
I have a little tip for BVision users who want to watch MPEG videos a little bit faster, with Overlay. To achieve this, you have to enter in the BVision monitor driver's tooltypes VLAYER=DESTRUCTIVE, and save it. The cgxvideo.library must be installed, and after a reset, the BVision can use the Overlay function with Frogger and IsisPPC. (ps)

Due to the really stupid statement by Amiga I decided to close down my Amiga User List on September 30th. Until then, users can enter themselves on my homepage. Shortly afterwards, the last version is released a final time, and THAT'S IT. But one thing is clear, I will stay with Amiga. It's just that I see no sense in the list anymore when many registered users are no longer Amiga users. (ps)

So far, the maximum key length was limited to enable gouvernmental authorities to crack encrypted messages. This restriction has been removed: Software with keys up to 64 bit does no longer need to be registered; software with stronger (longer) keys can also be exported, however it has to be presented to the gouvernment for checking.

VIRTUAL News
Since the latest Executive Update clearly shows that Gateway has no interest anymore in a decent computer platform, and the Amiga is absolutely dead, it is time for VWP to make decissions. All software projects are put on hold. There has been no final decission about further usage / giving away the source codes.
An exception to this is WaveTracerDS, there will probably be another update for this. Virtual Worlds Productions says a warm thank-you to all Amiga users and loyal customers.

Due to the Florida weather forecast for the next days, caused by the Hurricane "Floyd", power and phone could be temporarily down from Tuesday 14th to Saturday 18th in Central Florida, which could affect the Internet connectivity of the Nordicglobal server (mailinglists, registering / update and website).
If eMails go unanswered or do not appear on mailinglists during this time, it is therefore not necessary to send them again. They are automatically collected and processed later.
If access to the website or the registering / update server fails during this time, please try again a little later. (ps)

Amiga Info/AI Echo discontinued
on September 10th, the only Swedish print magazine "Amiga Info/AI Echo" has announced it is discontinued. So, the March issue 19 was the last issue of the magazine, which has been founded 1996 by Thomas Svensson. With the March issue, the name of the magazine was changed from "Amiga Info" to "AI/Echo", and articles about Linux added, however the additional sales couldn't save the magazine. The website is however continued at www.xfiles.se. (ps)

The Phoenix Platform Consortium
A number of well known persons has assembled in this consortium, to give help and suggestions for the development of a reference platform for the Amiga users wanting to upgrade their Amiga. The goal of this group is taking the responsibility for this platform.
The Phoenix Platform Consortium will therefore take over the responsibility to give Amiga users and developers help and recommendations for reference platforms.
This will not bring about a "new" Amiga, but the road is set for a platform honoring the Amiga feeling. The member list is truly impressive and promising. (ps)

new Project: IMP - Amiga as Open Source
Volker Mohr writes:
Some days ago, when Jim Collas (was made) left, I suggested to find a sollution saving the Amiga plattform as Open Source, even if the people at Gateway have different opinions of the future, or worse still, none at all.
My original suggestion was using CHRP as hardware basis for new computers, simply because being independant from a single manufacturer of hardware. As OS, a specially modified and expanded version of an Open Source OS (Linux or a BSD) could be employed.
Aside from criticism, I recieved much more support, have been contacted and mailed if I mean it seriously and how it could be done.
A team has slowly emerged, which started a project with the preliminary title "Project IMP" (Independent Multimedia Platform). First ideas and plans have been collected by me in recent days, and released at the title link.
If you want to participate, have own ideas etc. please contact me. Since we only have a chance if we make it public, I decided to to so after talking to two other team members. I think it's about time to take our favourite computer's fate into our own hands, and save what can be saved :-( more ... (ps)

End of int. Amiga User-List
Stefan Instinske writes:
Due to the new situation, I hereby announce that I close down the international Amiga-User List. Even if the news are not correct (which I don't believe), I don't see any sense in such a list anymore, with Amiga users leaving daily, making the data quickly outdated. If someone is interested in continuing the list, please contact me, you will get all necessary data. (ps)

new Version akMPEG Player 3.00
It's not only extremely fast now, but also quite compact: the 8 players (4x68k, 4xPPC) have been merged into now only 2 remaining executeables, which brings the archive size down to only ~120 KB. Looping now is possible as well.
There also shouldn't be (m)any bugs left ;) Download: akMPEG2.lha (ps)

Version Watch Offline... for duration?
I am frustrated. I am angry. I feel really sick about the ongoings - or lack thereof - at Amiga Inc.
And I don't see any sense in investing considerable amounts of time in this Amiga-related project right now. The Version Watch will be down until further notice. The only Amiga-related activity I will currently maintain is my work at amiga-news.de. If things brighten up at Amiga Inc., I will reestablish the Version Watch.
If not, I might turn this into a Linux service. Perhaps. Maybe.
Damn, they really killed me with this one. :-( more ... (ps)
