Absolute highlights to us were the game Freespace and the presentation of the Pegasos system at the bplan booth. Unfortunately we found the show to be a little desaster regarding organization and space utilisation. (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 18.

AMIGA 2001: Pre-report 2. day by amiga-news.de The most interesting of the second day of the show without doubt was our talk to Ben Hermans, Thomas and Hans-Joerg Frieden of Hyperion Entertainment about AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC. It is fixed by contract that Hyperion will develop AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC. Aspired date for completion is February 2002. Hyperion will cooperate with bplan, to let the AmigaOS 4.0 PPC run on the Pegasos machine, too. Additionally Hyperion talked to many other hardware and software developers to keep their product compatible, too. This set a very positive sign, cause after a long time a corporate line and goal is being followed, again. (ps) (Translation: mj) [News message: 18.

AMIGA 2001: IRC conferences with Nerding and Garlich (Update) English logfiles of the IRC conferences with Markus Nerding from Haage&Partner and Michael Garlich from Titan are available now. The log from Nerdings chat has been published on ANN, he answers questions about AmigaOS XL, AmigaOS V4.0, and H&P's work within those projects. The log of Michael Garlich's chat has been provided to us by Jürgen 'Antibike' Lucas, Garlich answers questions about MorphOS, Pegasos, and the projects of Titan: Amiga2001: Hello Michael Titan: Hello Guys Nico4k: Micheal, Could please describe your plans about MorphOS/Bplan ? Nico4k: Plan = project if you prefer Titan: Yes of course we have presented 4 new products for Morphos / Bplan e.g. Papyrus Office and Nico4k: For example will Papyrus be ported on MorphOs ? Nico4k: ok Titan: and the new videosoft Motionstudio which support DV Video Titan: and we have also presented Rage Hard a new multiplayer tactic shooter Nico4k: Well, you said on MorphOS ML what there will something to connect an Amiga floppy drive on Bplan made by third part, Could you give more detail ? Nico4k: Titan sound like great news Titan: Yes, this connecter will be able to read write "old" Amiga DD and HD Floppydisc Nico4k: to connect an "Amgia" drive or to use old disk with the Bplan one Nico4k: Where it will connected on the motherboard ? Titan: to connect an "old" Amiga drive may be later also PC-Floppy with modifications too zacman: hi michael. do you plan to release your software together with the pegasos start or already before? and are there plans for bundeling your software with pegasos? Titan: Nico4k there is a floppy connector for PC Floppys on the Bplan mainboard Titan: zacman: Together with the sales start on Feb/March 2002 Burman: Titan Do you know anything about support for Newtek VideoToaster/Flyer HW. (PCI-card)...? Titan: Burman: we have asked Newtek but nothing is clear atm it will take some further negotations ga djnick: Hi Titan will there be newer / improved versions of Fantastic Dreams? Titan: djnick: Yes this will be released later in 2002 ga ID4: Titan Are you planign a game like QIII Arena? Titan: ID4: We will release a pre-video of Rage Hard take a look and you will enjoy it :) ga Bifford: hi there ;-) what sort of speeds can we expect from pegasos? in normal operation and in real-time with cpu hungry things like 3d graphics Titan: Bifford: This really depends on the used CPU we think for DV Videoediting a 500 G4 is the minimum. ga Nico4k: As you devellop for MorphOS/bPlan, I suppose you already use it on Bplan, So how does it work ? (sorry for all this MOS related question but I want to konw) Titan: Nico4k It runs really good we are sadisfied with the support of the MOrphos Team. ga AlphaFoX: hi Titan, two questions: 1. do you know if there will be an 'AGA-on-a-Card' for the Pegasos? 2. Will Titan: port its software also to AmigaOS 4.x if available? GA Titan: AlphaFoX: AGA card is atm not longer in development but if there is more demand we can think about such a solution Titan: Regarding AmigaOS 4 we have nothing heard from Amiga no specs no hardware nothing simply. We cant say we will support it if we have no information at all. Ga Bifford: do u have any other projects on the go atm (hard or software) or is it strictly MOS/pegasos ? Titan: Bifford: we concentrate on what is available now this is Morphos and Pegasos ga zacman: what graphics card do you recommend for games like Rage Hard? Do you know if it is correct that bplan has contacts to nvidia? Titan: zacman: I cant commend this atm :) ga Zarf: is RS on the show? ga :) Titan: Zarf: No but Frank Mariak was here ga TheFab: Titan hi, do you plan to develop new softare or buy license (like old software like lightwave...) Titan: TheFab: new and licencing too. E.g. AlienNations and Majesty ID4: Titan Will you software run on Elbox SharkPPC? Titan: ID4: We are open to support everyone who wants Morphos. If Elbox support theMorphos team with hardware then there will be also a SharkPPC version ga Zefram_: what is the maximum cpu speed we can expect on Pegasos, 1Ghz ? Titan: Zefram_: its upto 2GHz atm but higher clockrate are also possible ga zacman: isn't AlienNations and Majesty licensed by hyperion? Titan: zacman: No Hyperion has not licenced AlienN or Majesty. Titan: owns this licence ga Zefram_: What will are the graphics cards drivers available for Pegasos, Matrox ? Titan: Zefram_: In a few weeks there will be update on Morphos.de with all supported Gfx-boards. ga Nico4k: Do you think Bplan will be able to release Pegasos in February/March 2001? Not a vapor this time ? (I have been so disppointed by previous project: AmigaNG, A1). Ps: A MOS/Bplan related question again ... But who do not believe that this time is the good one ... Titan: Nico4k Bplan will make a pre-release before christmas 2001 and the main release is trageted for March 2002. ga Titan: Zefram_: The morphos 3d api is NOT rave ga Nico4k: Pre-release means Developper release ? Titan: Nico4k Also for normal customers but there is only a limited stock of boards available. ga AmiGR: Could you enlight us about which 3d api will be used? Titan: AmiGR: Sorry atm not, please wait for the next official Morphos press release ga JoeAFUA: Titan So will we be able to pre-order for the pre-release boards? If yes, when? Titan: JoeAFUA: Take a look on the bplan website there will be an "order" form. ga ID4: Titan nowdays.. What are your contacs with Amiga Inc? Titan: ID4: we are in touch with Amiga but they follow different ways atm. We will see if we can cooparate in future or not. ga Zefram_: Will it be possible to place a pre-order from local dealers ? Titan: Zefram_: No, only direct from Bplan ga darklite: will you only support morphos, or also os4? ga Titan: darklite: We have no information about AmigaOS4 therefore i cant say yes or no . ga ID4: Titan THANKS !!!! From me no more questions, I hope the best for your bussines ;) Titan: ID4: Thanks. ga Nico4k: Will Pegasos be shit with screen, keyboard, Hard drive, Or will it be possible to buy only the Motherboard ? Amiga2001: ship instead of shit ;-) Titan: Nico4k shit ??? ;)) Yes it will be shipped as complete system too this will be a g3 350, 128MB ram, gfx-board,hD and DVD-drive ga Zefram_: Will there be a Pegasos motherboard with more than 3 PCI slots ? Titan: Nico4k and motherboard only is also available .ga Titan: Zefram_: Yes there is a adaptor for 4 slots available. Nico4k: Are all drivers ready (I mean for internal ethernet, audio, USB ???) Titan: Nico4k a lot of drivers are already finished but some are still in development. ga Amiga2001: more questions? Nico4k: Will we show amazing think on Bplan at the show like Divx movie ? Titan: Nico4k We have shown DV editing on the show. DIVX is also possible but was not presented. ga Amiga2001: Ok Guys, Michael has to go Amiga2001: thx Michael Update: (17.06.2016, cg) Integrated the logfile provided by Jürgen Lucas into the news item.

AMIGA 2001: Report by Stefan Popp Stefan Popp wrote: Here my small report about the 2001 Amiga show (absolute subjective and incomplete). There were more booths than the last time (about 12). Unfortunately they took that good advantage of the exhibition space, that the walks between the booths were quite narrow, which lead to bothering tailbacks. Bplan Like known Bplan is creating a PPC machine. This was presented run capable. I've seen MorphOS. Reportedly Linux was no problem, too. A complete machine (20GB HD, 128MB RAM, ...) was said to cost about 1,000 Euro. But the boards would be available solitary, too (from distributors, but not from BPlan directly). The problem about this whole thing: The system still is at beta test stage, and if someone would order a certain amount of boards today, delivery would not be expected before end of 1Q02. Major reason for this: It is hard to get low quantities of the components. To the question, how much of the specifications have been revealed, I was told, that the computer meets the Motorola Open-Bios conception and to adapt it to other operating systems would be no problem. BPlan's documents consciously don't mention the Amiga, to not tie the machine down to some special field of application. Elbox Showed their busboards. Again, the TV card and the TV picture was presented as Workbench background. Unfortunately the SharkPPC was shown inside a show-case. Of course I asked, why this card wasn't performed. The employee illustrated, that though development would have been finished, but it would be to wait for AmigaOS4.0. Ermh, if I consider this, my questions actually wasn't answered by this statement. Allegedly the card would run with WarpOS drivers, too (so please, why to wait for 4.0). Well, doesn't make any difference, isn't that important, anyway. :). Haage & Partner Actually just showed Amithlon and AmigaXL on three computers. Meal booth Meat balls, noodle salad, coffee, and Snikers at cheap prices. The lectures (at least those I attended) 1) Amithlon - Jürgen Haage In advance: The room was to narrow and of bad equipment. Reportedly this also was due to the fact, that some parts did not survive the transport to Cologne. But, after some bricolage everything worked. Mr. Haage explained the step to develop the Amiga emulator with the good availability of and the cheap prices for PC hardware. The price for the complete package is at 299DM (incl. Kick 3.1, OS 3.9, QNX, Arteffects, AmiWriter, and StormC3.0 ). According to Mr. Haage the development of the emulation bases on UAE. Amithlon utilizes a Linux kernel in addition, which was said to simplify the implementation of additional hardware. AmigaXL uses QNX as 'hosting' operating system. 2) Hyperion about the subject Amiga 4.0 Amiga Ltd. did not attend the show. And to say it honestly, nobody missed them. Some kind of announcement sure would have coused people to shake their heads, again. The lecture was done by the CEO of Hyperion (I just forgot the name). The facts in short: Hyperion and H&P obtaind a license for a PPC port. With the help of many developers (with H&P and Hyperion as the core team) the OS will be ported step by step. At first the TCP/IP stack, Exec and possibly DOS. Furthermore there is a new library concept.
I could not keep more in mind. Maby someone would publish the Scala presentation. The CEO of Hyperion wasn't very optimistic in regard of AmigaOne, Shark, BPlan. One reason to decide to port 4.0 to existing hardware and to not let down the owners of PPC cards. The OS theoretically runs on any PPC hardware. But nothing was performed. Explanation: Due to the still bad look one would get a bad impression, which just would cause people to review things from a wrong point of view. At the booth of Haage&Partner I was told, that a PPC native version of the AmigaOS would have been possible already two years ago, but Gateway would have disliked that. I think this is nothing new, but to celebrate the day I once more was happy about it . (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 18.

AMIGA 2001: first report To give you first impressions of the fair here's a beforehand report in which we concentrate on current hardware products. Highly interesting is the first official presentation of the Pegasos computer on which the operating system MorphOS is running. Gerald Carda demonstrated us a test program that displays plasma effects. Not accelerated (68060 speed) the program displays 4 frames per second (FPS). The same program compiled for MorphOS shows 192 FPS. In conversation with Thomas Knäbel and Gerald Carda we have got still more interesting information which we'll present comprehensive in our final report. This beforehand: Developer systems will be available in the beginning of January 2002, computers for end users will follow appr. 8 -12 weeks later. The highlight of Haage&Partner is a x86 computer built into a luxury tower with stylish design and installed Amithlon. The corpus of the computer is of aluminium, the front side is made of azure blue plastic. Of course, the developers of the PCI busboards didn't miss the show, either. Elbox presented their Mediator system and DCE the G-REX board. Thorsten Hansen of Kato Development presented us the prototype of the Melody successor. In addition to the functions of the Melody has this card the following particularities:
Jens Schönfeld of Individual Computers presented us a preseries model of the interface card VarioIO that will be available before Christmas. The Delfina could unfortunately not be shown. Based on a Logitech 2 buttons mouse Schönfeld has developed a real Amiga resp. Atari mouse. Here will the production begin in the next days, too. Michael Böhmer presented his USB controller Subway with which you can connect common USB devices to the clock port of the A1200. Up to four external devices can be used without any additional hub. VMC has already started with the driver development. For now there are drivers for mouse and keyboard available. Planned are drivers for printers, digital cameras and scanners.
