Pegasos: Independent Review by OSNews.com Eugenia Loli Queru of OSNews.com made an independent Pegasos-Review. As a not Amiga user her judgement precipitates naturally very critically over the MorphOS which is still in an early development stage. However when talking about the possibility to use the hardware with various Linux distributions and MacOS her judgement is more positively. Among other things she guesses to Genesi, to mark out the Pegasos as the Linux platform, because nevertheless x86 boards belong in last consequence to Microsoft. In its associated comment Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck of Genesi suggest that one can regard the "M" standing in MorphOS calmly also as for "mobility", this is the next step.

Video player: FroggerNG 2.06 It is been a while since last release, wasn't it? Well, problems with working computer on which I could do some developing are gone, so here it is, brand new 2.06 ready for download. What's new? There is now almost 100% acurate A/V sync (also after seeking/pause). There is bunch of new codecs (including a holy graal of video codecs, Sorenson Video 3, thanks to annonymous programmer and ffmpeg team). Also, tons of bugs was removed (which doesn't means it bug free ;). For a complete list of changes please refer to CHANGELOG, included in archives. Remember to get codecs archive as well, most of them were updated, not to mention new ones. Have fun. (ps) (Translation: sk) [News message: 19.

Event: OS4 on Tour 2003 - 14th June 2003 in Augsburg The Amiga Club Augsburg (ACA) and KDH Datentechnik are proud to invite you on June 14th, 2003 into the computer club, the Augsburger Computer Forum. We will present some novelties for your Classic Amiga and we will be able to give you a preview of Amiga OS4.0. Amiga OS4.0 The presentation of the AmigaOne and a preview of Amiga OS4.0 will be given by Juergen Schober / Point Design from Austria (come, see and be surprised !! ). Amiga One The Amiga Club Augsburg will present the newest member of our Amiga family, the Amiga One. The Amiga One Systems are currently delivered with Debian Linux PPC installed. The presentaton machines have a G4 PPC processor with 800MHz. (We might have a surprise for you ;) Algor (world premiere) E3B will present its brandnew Zorro USB Controller Algor, as well as an update possibility to Highway by the name of Romulus. You will be able to talk face to face with Michael Boehmer, he is the hardware developer of the USB boards Algor, Highway, Subway and of the ethernet board Norway. If you need some advise, this is the right place and guy to ask ;). The scope of delivery of all USB boards from E3B contains a full version of Poseidon. Poseidon is developed by Chris Hodges in teamwork with E3B. The newest version of Poseidon will be presented together with Algor and Michael will be pleased to answer all your questions. If you want to test your USB devices together with an E3B USB controller, you are welcome to do so. At the show we will give you the possibility to purchase the E3B USB boards. C-One (world premiere) The C-One is a multiple faster than the C64 and has standard interfaces (PS/2-Mouseport, PS/2-Keyboard, Parallel-Port) to communicate with the outside world. PCI slots allow the use of todays PCI-cards, but also the periphery of the C64 is supported, as well as the clockport expansions modules of the Amiga 1200 will work in the C-One. But the C-One is more: It is reconfigurable and thereby the first of its kind. The used techniques allows changing the hardware by means of simply exchanging a file. Jens Schönfeld will give an explicit, free of charge seminar on the C-One and will explain all the C-One functions. Jens will also answer all questions related to the other products from individual Computers. The products of individual Computers can be bought at the show. Further information and details can be found under the title link. (ps) (Translation: cb) [News message: 18. May. 2003, 22:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

MMKeyboard sale of hardware discontinued Due to rapidly decreasing hardware orders production of the MMKeyboard adapter is being discontinued. Support for MMKeyboard will of course continue. I just stop production of the hardware because it just isn't feasible to do in such small numbers. As the sale had always been done at cost I'd have to increase the price of the adapter quite drastically in order to get out of it without loss. Furthermore I just don't see myself in a position to produce the hardware within a desirable timeframe. Everyone still has the choice to build the hardware themselves, which used to be done by quite a number of users. Maybe by way of this announcement someone can be found to produce adapters for technically less versed Amiga users. Instructions for this can be found under the title link.

Weekly Q&A's with Fleecy Moss - episode 10 The English online magazine AmigaWorld has published episode 10 of the regular questions and answers session with Fleecy Moss, CTO at AMIGA, Inc. (Update 2012-03-17, cg: as the original document is no longer available, the following content was moved into our database): 1) trgse: Something the Amiga has lacked since its early days is POSIX compliance or a good full POSIX emulation layer. (ixemul not being very amiga like and lacking fork, how does Amiga see this.... Will it be resolved under OS 4.x, if so how? does/will OS 5.x/DE have any POSIX compliance Fleecy: There is already a project under way within the AmigaOS4 development team to increase POSIX compliance within the platform. Elements of this. most notably a threading solution will hopefully be in place for AmigaOS4.0. 2) ikir: What do you think of the Coldfire Accelerator Project? Could we have a Coldfire version of OS4.x in the future? With a 200+ MHz coldfire, many people would probably want OS4 for these machines. What is your stance on this? Fleecy: AmigaOS4 for the desktop is a PPC product and that is what we will be supporting. 3) alx: What is the reasoning behind A inc not releasing the old 1.x ROM images? They would be useful for many people, would provide an indication of goodwill and wouldn't run any recent s/w like the "current" 3.x series. Fleecy: We are investigating this and are looking at both providing a distinct product with these pieces on it as well as having them all on the AmigaOS4.0 CD. 4) Tigger: Where you unaware of what Bill McEwen was going to say in the Bolten Peck case about not being the CEO, or were you intentionally misleading the Amiga Community with your post that Bill McEwen was still the CEO?? Fleecy: Bill McEwen is still CEO. He was CEO before I posted that statement, he was the CEO when I posted that statement and is the CEO today as I type this answer to you. I have no comments to make about any on going lawsuits. 5) Hondo_DK: Does Amiga have any upcoming plans for their website. I mean if Amiga is to launch OS4 to an unexpecting amazed world, then you're website would probably be facing a run over by zillions of surfers from everywhere in the computer business. When seeing the present Amiga site, many would perhaps turn away because of the lack of a design roadmap. Do you have any plan to prepare yourself before the launch of OS4. Fleecy: We are very aware that the Amiga web presence needs updating. This is being done one site at a time with the new Amiga Power Platform website under construction as we speak and due to be opened to the public before AmigaOS4.0 goes on sale. 6) KingTutt: If a clear and steady level of growth is reached, and a sizable userbase pushes sales akin to the first year of these next-gen consoles. Would Amiga Inc consider bringing into the fold some past Amiga game developers in an effort to resurrect some past game legends ala the great Turrican series? And if so, how do you see Amiga Inc playing an instrumental role in bringing back past hits. Fleecy: We do intend to do this but usually you only get one shot at trying to convince people to come back to a platform and so we don't want to do this until the platform supports a market large enough to provide a substantial financial element to the overall decision. If the userbase does get to that size, we'd be very happy. As an aside I should mention that we have had such developers spontaneously contacting us to enquire about coming back to the platform and discussions are ongoing. 7) KingTutt: Do you believe its important for Amiga as a possible future gaming platform, to stand by its own creations & merits, distinguishable from the rest or should it rely on ported titles from other systems? Fleecy: Porting of product has a definite place, especially for a small market where the cost of developing a new product from scratch is substantial. However we would very much like to see unique content on the Amiga and will be working towards that end. It has to be said that if someone wrote an amazing game on the Amiga, the developer would most likely want to look at porting it to other platforms anyway so perhaps the best we can hope for in the short term is ports, the medium term is content on our platform first and then ported followed by unique content only on our platform as the market size increases. In the end the only way to guarantee unique content is to have features and capabilities on the platform that do not exist and more, cannot be replicated on another platform but with hardware commoditisation, that is increasingly difficult. 8) Deniil715: I was wondering if the TCP/IP-stack of OS4 will support IPv6?? And if it will not, will it atleast support DHCP IP-timeout and refresh so that it can be used on a network with a DHCP-server which put a timeout on the IP-address and hence withdraw it after the timeout if the TCP/IP-stack doesn't refresh it. Fleecy: DHCP is in (the whole package, not just the fringe features), IPv6 is not. Given our current resources and feature lists for AmigaOS4, IPv6 is down near the bottom of the list but as the project advances, features above it will be crossed off and we will of course continually review the situation. 9) ssolie: Have you given any thought to utilizing open source development, either as a source baseline or as a development model, to speed delivery of various AmigaOS services? Fleecy: We have considered it and may dabble in it on the fringes but as a commercial company we have a need to develop IP and to provide a return on it to our investors. If we were developing another UNIX wannabe, same old same old product then it would have more appeal but we are into developing something unique and in making money out of it. 10) catohagen: If i dont remember wrong, there was something called PREXX, what is it and is it still planned ? Fleecy: I have asked a few people, most of whom returned a blank expression. One person believes it may have been something that Haage and Partner were talking about but there is certainly nothing of that name in AmigaOS4.0 (Copyright © 2003 Amigaworld.net.

New and updated software by OnyxSoft The Swedish shareware developers group OnyxSoft has released two new tools and updated some tools. FileComp (v1.0) is a small utility that allows a fast comparison of two files regarding their size, their content, their date and other criteria. Snakee (v0.1) is the first attempt of OnyxSoft to lead two worlds to each other instead of divide them even further into good and evil. Snakee is a simple Snake clone that is thought to serve as a simple tutorial how you can support AmigaOS as well as MorphOS. The executable files for both systems are included as well as the source code. BackUp is a simple tool to backup data. New in the version 1.4 are automatic backups, timing handling, simulated backups for test modi, new message handling and many more functions. DRemind is a useful tool to remind one of dates and other information. The new version 1.65 comes among other things with improvements of the reminder function and the date display. GummiSurf is an expansion for the download manager Charon. In version 1.1 has the tooltype support for own preferences been added and the URL handling has been optimized.

Memory card reader for IDE / Standalone media player At Hama I discovered today a memory card reader/writer for the IDE port. This one needs no additional software to run. It's just treated as a hard disk and it's much cheaper than the reader PCD47 for SCSI-II. The device costs 69,99 Euro. Furthermore I discovered a standalone media player at Hama that can read without a computer digital photos in the JPG format, Mpeg1 movies and Mp3 sound via the A/V output. For this it can read six different memory card types (CF I + II, SM, SD, MMC). With a remote control you can then display movies or display pictures of your holidays. Besides that you can play your Mp3 data. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 17. May. 2003, 20:46] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Amiga Arena: Interview with Elena Novaretti (ZoneXplorer) A few weeks ago released the 30 years old Italian Elena Novaretti for the first time the tool "ZoneXplorer" for AmigaOS (68k) and MorphOS (PPC). "ZoneXplorer" is a useful tool to create and search fractals that certainly is unique on the Amiga. The possibilities to create unique fractal pictures in 24 bit speak for themselves. One or the other may know the images by Elena Novaretti as they were shown at the Amiga fair "Pianeta 2002". In the interview with the Amiga Arena Elena Novaretti talks about her career and of course about her program "ZoneXplorer" and about her view regarding the future of AmigaOS and MorphOS respectively where the differences lay. Enjoy the comprehensive and interesting interview that is available in German and English. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 17.

AtheneOS by Rocklyte: AthenYX The alternative operating system Athene by Rocklyte Systems has been released as standalone OS. It's called AthenYX and it is related to AmigaOS among other things as it comes, if desired, with a graphical user interface (GUI) that bases on Amiga Workbench 3.0: the OmegaWorkbench. Athene is an operating system that allows the user to create an own GUI where it is possible to emulate almost every existing GUI system. Athene supports draggable screens, assigns and there's an approach for a file manager in the way of Diskmaster/DOpus. Athene itself is easy to port (embedded systems, games consoles, PCs), object oriented and comes among other things with several scripting languages. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 17.
