MorphOS Value Package V1.2
The MorphOS Value Package, a collection of useful software, got an update. New in the package are the following programs: Frogger, Bolcatoid, Atari800 emulator and DOSBox. Updates of "Die kleine Gilde II" and Jabberwocky replace older versions.
New is also that the archives of the contained programs are available as updated full package and as incremental update to MVP V1.2.
Next to this everybody who's interested should download MVP with the wanted language support. Supported are by now the languages German, English and Dutch. A French version is still being worked on.
As it was already the case with the previous releases is the setup of mirrors wanted. Questions, comments and suggestions for improvements are always welcomed by the author.

AROS: Bounty #18 (IPC bridge) finished
Team AROS-Bounty #18, an IPC bridge, was finished by Martin Blom and honored with a reward of 200 US dollars.
The task was as follows:
- Creation of a dbus.library for AROS, that makes an exchange via dbus between the IPC systems of AROS and Linux/BSD possible
- Layout of the dbus.library for AROS versions hosted on Linux/BSD systems with the possibility of a further development for a clean AROS system in mind
- Test via the use of KDE DCOP IPC for the communication with and the control of some KDE programs from AROS using the dbus.library and Linux-dbus

DKG II: author asks for speed tests
Within the game "Die kleine Gilde II" it's in the meantime possible to play MP3 files in the background. But the problem arises that this is apparently reserved to UAE, Amithlon and probably to AmigaOne and Pegasos systems (the latter ones haven't been tested yet). A real Amiga with 060 processor already seems to be to slow for this, there are lags and distortion while playing the MP3 files, the opening of windows may be slowed down.
To get an overview over as many different systems as possible a system analysis including a speed test was included in the DKG II preferences. The author asks therefore as many users as possible to run this test and inform him about the result together with the system configuration. You can contact Steffen Nitz via e-mail under Habgier@gmx.de.
The test results of the author's system under Amithlon and WinUAE can be found in the December diary under the title link.

AHT Europe: MIDI interfaces for Amiga, Pegasos and PCs
Birmingham, Dec. 11 2004 - AHT Europe Ltd. are pleased to announce the immediate availability of their first Amiga products: MIDI interfaces for the Commodore Amiga as well as the Pegasos and standard PCs. (PDF version)
The MIDI interface Vivaldi (photo) supports standard MIDI transfer through the game port (MPU401), either on-board or on a PCI card. It is suitable for all operating systems that support standard MIDI transfer over the game port and has been successfully tested with standard MIDI software under MorphOS/Pegasos, Linux and Windows (including Bars'n'Pipes under WinUAE). The Vivaldi MIDI interface provides the following connectors: 1 x MIDI IN, 1 x MIDI THRU, 3 x MIDI OUT (synchronised).
The MIDI interface Trivaldi (photo) is a tripleplay MIDI interface for Commodore Amiga computers. It has three asynchronous MIDI OUT ports, which means that each port can have its own MIDI range of 16 channels. With Bars'n'Pipes you can therefore address 48 MIDI channels. The Trivaldi connects to the Amiga serial port.
Each MIDI interface comes with a manual, a CD-ROM and a 2 year warranty period. The CD-ROM contains drivers as well as the free sequencer software Bars'n'Pipes with all add-ons, the utility Directory Opus 4 and more.
The advisory retail pricing incl. VAT is 39.95 Euro (Vivaldi) and 49.95 Euro (Trivaldi), respectively. Both interfaces are available now. Dealer inquiries are welcome.
About AHT Europe:
AHT Europe Ltd. is a British company formed in 2004 and based in Birmingham, with offices in Germany and the Netherlands. Current products include a PowerPC set-top box for digital video broadcasting, personal video-recording and video-on-demand.

As soon as the installation of the operating system on the original server is being updated
morphzone.org will move to it back.

Amiga 1000: Common order for newly produced Phoenix boards (Update)
By the title link aPEX reports at the amiga-news.de forum, there is a possibility to place a common order for newly produced Phoenix boards. Shipping may start end of January 2005, the price at a volume of five to ten boards would be 210 AUD without SCSI (about 124 Euro) or 260 AUD with SCSI (about 151 Euo) each.
The in the early 90s by the Australian company Phoenix Microtechnologies produced mainboard is an advanced replacement for the original A1000 board. Unlike the Amiga 1000 it features the ECS chipset, a Kickstart 1.3-ROM and 1 MB Chip-RAM and, optionally, SCSI. Also an A2000 videoslot and a battery buffered clock are onboard. There have been around 500 - 1000 boards produced.
The board will need for operation some (socket) chips which are to get from an Amiga mainboard.
Update: (09.12.2004, 23:30, cg)
The boards offered here are the last ones remaining from the final production run in 1991. All 25 boards are sold now. (snx) (Translation: ub)

IBM announces details to Cell-Chip
The new consoles from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft will be introduced on the E3 in May next
year for the first time. But the winner is already clear: IBM. All consoles will have
a CPU from IBM which is unique until now.
Such a news is also the Cell-Chip which IBM together with Sony and Toshiba developed.
As a first product a workstation will be developed which contains the Cell-Chip
and which will become the developing environment for the PlayStation 3.
Cell is related with IBMs POWER-Chips and is a Multi-Core-System with 64-Bit.
Each of this Cores could have an operating system independent of the others. Unlike the
processor of the PlayStation 2 which is the Emotion Engine, Cell is not mainly optimated
for consoles but useful for different purposes.

Update of the Game Exodus: The Last War
Slandmedia has put together an update for "Exodus: The Last War." This version is similar to the previous version (1.2) but runs better on graphic cards.
This was already possible in principle, but only in the clearly slower emulation mode. Along with these improvements the game is also able to run on MorphOS now, and presumably (but not tested) on AmigaOS 4.

APC&TCP and AmiATLAS Development Team: Cooperation Broadened
Because of their very good cooperation up until now between AmiATLAS
Development Team and APC&TCP they're going to build on it even more for the future.
Previously the webhosting was taken over, and before approximately a year a forum was founded for all interested and registered users of AmiATLAS.
In the future APC&TCP will undertake more missions, basically serving as the official distributor of AmiATLAS and other new products that are planned for release in the beginning of the coming year.
For a limited time therefore, AmiATLAS is available for an economical price at the new online shop of APC&TCP. (snx) (Translation: dm)

MorphZone and PPCZone Temporarily Unavailable Owing to Attack
MorphZone as well as PPCZone are temporarily not reachable, after an illicit attempt was made to use the server to send spam.
"MorphZone and PPCZone are both down temporarily while repairing a security breach on the server. This breach was part of a spammers attack in an attempt to proliferate SPAM specifically targeted to Internet users in Brazil. While we proceed to work on the cause of the problem, MorphZone and PPCZone will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and the administration of MorphZone hopes to have this cleared up soon.
At this time, we do not believe this attack was by or directed towards any Amiga, MorphOS, or other specific community. Due to the nature of the attack, which we have evidence to believe went to other unrelated servers, this seems to simply be a case of spammers trying to hijack our bandwidth to supply their endless need to send useless e-mail that no one ever reads anyway!"
