|
Amiga-Magazin merges with the AMIGAplus
Subscribers of the AMIGAplus will receive the "Amiga-Magazin mit AMIGAplus", the Amiga-CD and additionally to that the a free copy of the PCgo CD by mail during the next days..
The publisher falkemedia was not able to ensure a longer independent future of the AMIGAplus as a stand alone magazine, but this merge teh readers benefit in several ways:
Beside high quality Amiga articles, which are still supported by the AMIGAplus editors, teh subscribers also receive a first class
computer magazine which supplies important tests, basic articles and high quality
software CDs - valuables, precious for both, Amiga and PC users.
Not without any reason the WEKA computer magazine publishing house supports the
Amiga-Magazin since 1987 and still delivers this magazine combination to thousands of Amiga fans.
Was a subscription for the AMIGAplus (with two monthly CD) alone 81,30 Euro each year, the fee for the "Amiga-Magazin mit AMIGAplus", a high qualitly two monthly Amiga software CD as well as 12 issues of the PCgo (including
cover CD) a year is now reduced to 54,90 Euro a year.
By this merge of the both magazines the number of readers could be increased to a volume which ensures the publication throughout the next years -
the 20 year anniversary of the Amiga-Magazin will not be missed by the publishers!
Already paid ammounts will fully counted to the subscription.
For questions regarding the subscription or the content of the "Amiga-Magazins mit AMIGAplus" please contact the publisher or the editors at the WEKA.

Risc OS: Firefox port released
Risc OS teh operating system which was formerly delivered with Acorn's Archimedes RiscPC homecomputers and is - just like the AmigaOS and alikes - on it's long and stoney way to a new hardware.
Risc OS suffered to a problem which should be well knwon to all Amiga folks: Decent websites were only limited usable with the available browsers (at least six deiffernt ones!) due to lack of proper Javascript or CSS support.
Since yesterday Risc OS users may use a beta version of Firefox. In a recent thread at amigaworld.net the author Peter "chocky" Naulls describes some of the occuring problems and tehir solution while doing the port. (cg) (Translation: ub)

PowerPC: Freescale MPC7448 mass production in October
At the Frescale Technology Forum in Orlando, Florida Freescale announced today mass production of their latest high end processor MPC7448 will start in October. The 7448 is the first ppc using Freescale'e new e600 core which has a 1 MB 2nd level cache (doubled in comparision to the 7447), an improved Altivec unit (out of order sequences) and a faster external bus (up to 200 Mhz) (Out-of-Order-Befehlsfolge), but it keeps pin and binary compatible with it's predecessor (MPC7447).
Due to the newly introduced 90 nanometer process and other detail improvements the MPC7448 will not only consume less energy than the 7447 but also allow to go for higher clock rates. Production from October on will reach 1.7 Ghz. (cg) (Translation: ub)

Team AROS: Bounty #31 initiated for a MorphOS wrapper
Team AROS has initiated a bounty for a MorphOS wrapper for AROS/PPC. Due to their requirements of operating system functions, three MorphOS applications have been specified as an objective for this bounty.
While both operating systems are quite compatible already per default - according to a developer some MorphOS libraries should even run directly like native ones on AROS/PPC -, this bounty aims at ensuring that all system structures and public structures of AROS have to be properly aligned with 68k alignment rules and that a wrapper or emulator takes care for the remaining differences between the operating systems.
Donations to this and other bounties are possible at the Team AROS website using PayPal. For citizens of the EU, James King is offering to forward the money to avoid PayPal fees for direct transfers into the USA. Donations must not be sent by credit/debit card on PayPal, though. (snx)

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
Long time readers know that May marks the start of a new publication
year for Amiga Update. We are beginning our 12th year of publication
with this issue! Hard to believe as I sit here typing this that it has
been so many years! How many more will it be? At this point I can't
say but the Amiga community is still here after all that time, and
still reading Amiga Update which we find gratifying.
We have interesting stories from Amiga, Inc. this time around.
Clearly, games are the thing as far as Amiga is concerned right now.
That's probably a good thing as games should generate some cash.
Our second story below gives some indications of Amiga's plans for
the near future at least. We'll have to see how they work out in
practice, but it's great to see plans being talked about.
What are Amiga's long term plans? I don't think we can determine that
from what we've seen in recent weeks and months. For now, I'm just
pleased they're still in existence and doing things. As we've done for
many years now, we will have to let the future show us what's in store
as it happens. Since we published our first issue the week after
Commodore went bankrupt, we've been doing this for 11 full years,
starting on 12. We should all be good at it by now.
We hope you enjoy this issue.
Brad Webb,
Editor

May 12, 2005 - San Francisco, CA; Today, Amiga, Inc. announced the
availability of Word Me Up, produced by Jerome Senay, founder of the
Boing Attitude team. This original production creates a zany
combination of action, dexterity and brain-twisting fun.
Word Me Up introduces a set of cartoon characters, graphics and
amusing sound effects into a world of word-based memory challenges
that progressively scale in up to 60 levels of difficulty in four
different languages.
Players can choose from 5 characters immersed in the world of
darkness facing the task of retrieving texts stolen by a bad sorcerer.
Every level is a race against the clock to collect the letters of the
word that opens code-locked doors. Along the way are a series of
endless mazes infested with numerous sorcerer henchmen. To save
humanity, users must find hidden parts, avoid drowning and steer clear
of raging elephants.
"Word Me Up combines the fun elements of a medieval sorcerer arcade
adventure with an educational platform for effectively learning
words," said Vince Pfeifer, Amiga Product Manager. "Today, educational
entertainment is among the fastest growing segments of the digital
entertainment market."
"We wanted to create a funny, skill-challenging application that
brings rich graphics and high quality performance across a variety of
portable devices. Amiga enables the cross-platform sharing of
binaries, allowing us to concentrate on content," said Boing Attitude
founder Senay.
Word Me Up is immediately available for WinCE Mobile-based devices,
including PocketPC and SmartPhone, and will soon be available for
Linux and Symbian-based devices, set top boxes, personal multimedia
devices, set top boxes and PCs.
About Boing Attitude:
Boing Attitude is a small enthusiastic team located in Nantes,
France. Focusing on gameplay, Boing Attitude's aim is to create
addictive and nice games for portable & small devices but also for
desktop computers. For more information visit

April 26, 2005 - San Francisco, CA Amiga, Inc. announced it has
become a Premier Member of the Hewlett-Packard iPAQ Developer Program.
As a Premier Member, Amiga gains access to development tools, source
code, pre-release tools and information and multiple opportunities for
joint marketing and collaboration at tradeshows.
"We are pleased to welcome Amiga as a Premier member of the iPAQ
Developer Program," said Joel Vincent, Product Manager, Handhelds
Global Business Unit.
The Hewlett-Packard program comprises more than 15,000 members from
109 countries, including 121 universities worldwide. While the US
still constitutes the largest block of members, a majority of members
are from outside of the United States.
The original purpose of the program was to serve those developing
iPAQ expansion sleeves. The widespread adoption of SDIO (Secure
Digital Input Output) and CF (Compact Flash) has shifted the program's
main focus now to providing developers with finer control over unique
features of the hardware, especially new features that do not yet have
standard operating system support.
"The breadth of iPAQ devices enable the consumer/home and
business/mobile users with extensive applications geared to their
respective needs," said Greg Sigel, Amiga's vice president of sales
and marketing. "The specific focus of each device, covering
multimedia, imaging, productivity and business applications mirrors
the development path that Amiga is pursuing with our developer
community. By gaining access to the HP tools, Amiga developers can
more effectively serve each market with the optimal set of graphically
rich, superior performing applications."
After having recently launched its revised web site, on-line store
and a host of new titles, Amiga continues to pursue an aggressive
distribution strategy and product release plan of 12 new titles per
quarter. The HP-Amiga partnership is a key step to enabling handheld
users with premium content.

{This is presented after the fact to inform those who were unaware of
the cancellation. Quite sad, we hope for better luck for the show in
the future. Brad}
1 May, 2005
We regret to inform you all that the AmigaEast Show May 28-29 2005
has been cancelled.
Many people and companies had expressed interest in the show, but the
money did not come in to support the $6000 needed to run the show. As
a result of not being able to put the additional $2500 prepayment the
time slot was sold to another event in the hotel. All the work and
logistics had been done, but too little money came in. There is still
a possibility one could happen at the end of the year but it looks as
though I would need to front most of the money myself. Anyone who gave
a credit card # in to order tickets for the show or banquet have not
been charged anything and any checks have not been cashed and will be
disposed of properly. I would still like to look forward to doing
another show in the northeast of the US and am open to ideas.

A M I W E S T I N F O R M A T I O N U P D A T E
1 May 2005
From the beginning of the AmiWest shows, certain goals and objectives
have been in evidence. While those who have been connected with the
show are aware of most of those goals and objectives, many of you who
attend may not be aware or may be new to the show. So for you (and to
remind others), here are the things we are trying to accomplish with
each and every AmiWest show.
1. First of all, we are providing a place for the Amiga community to
gather. This gathering takes place from among a worldwide community of
manufacturers, developers, users, retailers, and others interested in
our great Amiga computers. Old friendships are renewed and new friends
are made among the many attendees at AmiWest. Organized user groups
are especially encouraged to come and exhibit through a user group
special rate policy detailed on our website. (see
www.sacc.org/amiwest/exhibform.html#pricing)
2. Second, we provide a place for breaking news announcements of
interest to the Amiga community. Companies who are part of the Amiga
marketplace have always sent their representatives to announce
significant developments.
3. Third, we provide an encouraging, peaceful atmosphere where even
those in conflict can come, bury the hatchet, and meet in a
high-energy environment for exchange of ideas. We tell those that are
in conflict, legally or otherwise, to please leave their conflicts for
other arenas.
4. Fourth, we provide a place where vendors can come to sell the
latest and greatest Amiga technologies as well as some of the best
tried and true Amiga hardware and software. Each has its advocates and
we support the efforts of our vendors who support our show and make it
possible.
5. Fifth, we try to be as educational as possible along the way.
We're working on a few surprises this year as we try to do every year.
We're also continuing our practice of giving qualified presenters a
platform to demonstrate what the Amiga can do.
For 2005, our theme is "AMIGA at 20: Past, Present and Future," in
honor of John Zacharias. Keep watching our webpage (with brilliant new
graphics) at sacc.org/amiwest and these continuing information
releases for further information, including our 2005 exhibitor list
and our 2005 banquet speaker!
AmiWest 2005 will be July 23th and 24th, 2005, at the
Clarion Hotel Cal Expo
2600 Auburn Blvd.
Sacramento California 95821
Reservations Phone 1-800-424-6423 toll-free (local 1-916-487-7600)
and by snail-mail at the above address.
Please watch our website at www.sacc.org/amiwest for continuing news
and information regarding AmiWest 2005. We are on target for another
improved show! See you there!
!!!!
So remember,
AmiWest 2005 is rolling! The facility is reserved and the vendors are
notified! Keep watching for these releases and tell everyone that you
know - the Amiga and the Amiga community is alive and well!

Andreas Loong, Proprietor of GuruMeditation, has stated:
"We would consider sponsoring development of hardware drivers for
OS4, whether it be PCI, clockport or Zorro based. So I'll make this a
general call to developers: If you can make a driver, let me know and
I'll send you the required hardware."
We feel drivers are inherently important to a platform as a whole,
and AmigaOS 4 currently covers alot of audio and video drivers, and a
good number of IDE controllers.
If you have written drivers before, or if you are an experienced
programmer, this is an excellent opportunity for you.
If you can make a driver for AmigaOS 4, we are prepared to ship you
the card that you need.
It should be in C, it should follow the new AmigaOS interface
guidelines, and it should be portable. It must not be a port of a GPL
driver, or a proprietary driver. Check with us if you are uncertain.

Elbox Computer is happy to announce a new tower system for Amiga 1200
computers. D-BOX 1200 is a perfectly designed, modern, functional,
spacious tower case.
D-BOX 1200 is targeted for these Amiga 1200 users who want to upgrade
their computers with the DRAGON 1200, a ColdFire-based accelerator
card combined with the PCI/AGP Expansion busboard. D-BOX 1200 allows
also using other busboards like Mediator PCI 1200 SX, Mediator PCI
1200 LT4, Mediator PCI 1200 or Zorro IV with Mediator PCI ZIV.
After all of the amazing Amiga chassis designs that Elbox released in
the past few years, the D-BOX 1200 includes the first chassis with the
movable back bracket bays born after extensive research and
development by the Elbox engineers.
The D-BOX 1200 is much more performance-oriented and versatile than
all previous towers for Amiga 1200 computers. Standard features such
as four 5.25in drive bays, five 3.5in drive bays, and a chassis
prepared to perfectly fit A1200 motherboard with many different PCI
and Zorro busboards are combined with new elements like USB ports in
the front panel or a movable front cover bay for CD-ROM. D-BOX 1200
tower system with a powerful 350W ATX PSU is ready for massive
expandability of your A1200 hardware.
D-BOX 1200 replaces the discontinued Mirage 1200 and E/BOX 1200 (also
known as A1200 Power Tower and A1200 Winner Tower) Amiga tower
systems.
Pricing and availability
The D-BOX 1200 Tower will be on sale from early June 2005 at the
suggested retail price of only EUR 149.95 or US$194.95 (VAT and local
taxes excl.)

Video editing: "Auto video ripper" for VLab Motion
With "Auto video ripper" you can automatically export a video source as MPEG or DivX file.
To do so, you enter the length of the original video, open Movieshop and start a project as well as your video device. You can change the bit rate, the image size and the output format. There's no sound export as the author doesn't own a Toccata sound card.

GAUHPIL Database: Amiga-User-List now with Address Details
As announced one week ago, the Amiga-User-List has now been extended for address details.
For this purpose, the list of countries is additionally devided up into federal states for Austria,
Germany and the United States of America. For entries that have already been registered for these
countries until now, the country has to be selected again on the page "Update entry", to be listed
in the correct state in the Amiga-User-List. Details about the street, postal code and city can be
entered on a new page.
What is the GAUHPIL?
The GAUHPIL (Geographical Amiga Users Home Page Internet List) is a public MySQL based database
created and moderated by Dietmar Knoll. It contains website addresses of Amiga users, that can
be questioned by continent and country. Additionally, it features a flexible search function.
Currently, the GAUHPIL lists 686 users from 38 countries.
What is the Amiga-User-List?
Since May 2005, the GAUHPIL database shows all registered users, but only for other registered
users that have to be logged in. A personal homepage is no longer required for registration.
The new "Amiga-User-List" is not limited to users with homepage. After registering and filling
in name and country, one can immediately browse the new "Amiga-User-List". 99 users from 15
countries have already registered and are automatically shown in the "Amiga-User-List".
