`24.Oct.2002` Jens Schönfeld (E-Mail)	Event: Amiga + Retro Computing 2002 - Website now also in English All parts of the page are now available in English as well. Small changes have been done to the website design, and a free hotel booking service has been added. AMIGA + RETRO COMPUTING 2002 takes place on December 7th and 8th, 2002 at the Eurogress Aachen, Germany. The main focus of the show will be on Amiga-related products. The biggest highlights will surely be the new mainboards "Amiga One" and "Pegasos". The title "Retro Computing" does not mean that this is a nostalgia meeting or even a fleamarket for old computers. Just the opposite. The exhibitors will show that the technologies of the home computers of the 80s are still improved today, and that they're still available as new products in the 21st century. With AmigaOne and AmigaOS 4 on the one side, and Pegasos with MorphOS on the other side, the Amiga - multimedia wonderbox of the late 80s - is ready for a comeback with high-performance PowerPC processors. The "Digital Enviroment" of Amiga Inc. (USA) allows using adapted software on multiple mobile and home-based devices like desktop computers, mobile phones or personal digital assistants (so-called palmtops). This makes Amiga-technology perfectly suited for the future. Probably the most interesting product from the Retro Computing area is the Commodore One (Codename: C-One). Developer Jeri Ellsworth is working on the ATX-sized motherboard for nearly two years now. As the name already suggests, it's the inofficial successor of the legendary C-64 by Commodore. Exchangable CPU modules can turn this board into nearly any computer of the 80s, among them is also the well-known Atari 2600 console that became famous in Germany with the game Pac-Man. After big German magazines like Focus and Computerbild Spiele wrote about the project, it's first presented and sold in Europe at AMIGA + RETRO COMPUTING 2002. We're especially happy that Jeri Ellsworth is making the long trip from USA to Germany to present the board in person. The name Atari is closely tied to the computers of the 80s. Developers are still active today; The magazine ST-Computer and developers of the prestige products Calamus, Papyrus or Eclipse will surely be in Aachen, where visitors can also gather information about the exciting Coldfire project that wants to accelerate old Atari ST computers with a powerful processor.

`23.Oct.2002` Michael Böhmer (ANF)	SUBWAY production started Michael Böhmer of E3B writes: Not ignoring the difficulties within the Amiga market we at E3B decided at least to start a small production run of the SUBWAY USB card also. The open positive feedback by many Amiga users was not a small subject to make this decision. Therfore we see the introduction of the SUBWAY as a small gift to the users. We hope to give a positive sign for the classic market and hop to fulfill all expectations of quality and innovation. The smallness of this production run will cause some delays. The availability of this card will, as usually practised by E3B, be announced by the known dealers when the shipping really starts. Stay tuned. (ps) (Translation: ub) [News message: 23.
