`28.Sep.2001` Markus Pohlmann (ANF)	New role-playing game for Classic Amigas in the works Project Crashsite - that'll be the name of the new role-playing game for Classic Amigas which is currently still under development. The role-playing game in the science fiction genre will require a CD-ROM, 68040 (minimum) and a graphics card. Here an excerpt from the description: »Mankind has reached for the stars and colonized a planet system. Far away from Sol, Future II develops into a self-sufficient economy system with own government. Not only has this government plans for Future II but the Sol government also. The third in the trio is McJevl, the space flight company who made the settling and terraforming possible. McJevl has plans too, and gets a big chance to make them reality. Here enters the player as member of the Future Security Corps, the system-internal police. With a team consisting of up to six characters, law and order must be preserved in Future II. A difficult task which gets even harder as a meteor hits one of the planets and an eye-witness of the event is being murdered before the eyes of the Future Security Corps. Investigations lead to the fact that this is not the only death ...« Up-to-date information on the game development are now available at projektcrashsite.de.

`23.Sep.2001` Amiga Future	Database: MySQT V0.1a Alpha version 0.1a of the MySQL GUI (MUI) 'MySQT' was released. The 'MySQL Simple Query Tool' in this early alpha version offers the possibility to make SELECT requests from smaller tables via GUI. The limitation for smaller tables follows from the fact that this early alpha version still has no dynamic memory management. It is required to enter your database's access data to the tooltypes before start. Download: MySQT_0.1a.lzx (alpha version) (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 23.

`23.Sep.2001` AmigaArt	Eyetech: Information about the AmigaOne Alan Redhouse, Eyetech, posted some statements about the AmigaOne regarding AmigaOS 4.0 and the boot sequence on the AmigaOne mailing list. «1. OS4.0 is based on OS3.9 which does need 3.1 ROMs 2. Backwards engineering/testing for OS3.0 compatibility would add weeks onto the already late OS4.0 3. Of course some of this stuff can be put in flashrom/hard disk but this would require a hugh effort in retesting/linking bits of code from various sources adding further to the cost/delay of OS4.0. 4. As I have said several times before on this list the boot sequence for the A1/OS4.0 is: PPC boots from flash ROM & initialises A1 main board, including any A1 graphics and any available A1 board boot devices (HD, CDROM, SCSI, USB, etc. drivers) PPC loads 68K emulator from flash rom and executes an emulator reset Emulator executes A1200 boot sequence which looks round for boot devices (A1200 HD, FD, PCMCIA & A1 HD, CDROM, SCSI, USB etc) Emulator boots OS4.0 from the highest priority boot device. 5. From OS4.2 the bootstrap loader (& main drivers) will be in the A1 flash ROM and the 68k emulator will only look on the A1 board for boot devices (inc USB floppies, CDROM's etc etc) Hope this helps Alan" - Eyetech» (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 23.
