Pegasos 2: First user report
Treveur "Nowee" Bretaudiere has released a short report about the Pegasos 2 he received:
My Pegasos 2 finally arrived this morning, in its nice protective box, along with its 1 GHz G4 CPU
module, the MorphOS installation CD, two booklets, and a backplane.
The two documentations are very clear. A VERY simple booklet, written in English, French and German,
explains how to install both MorphOS and the computer itself, whilst the other, in German, is a
fairly detailed technical documentation, with ports description and such.
The motherboard in itself is very well made, and once filled with a DDR 333 memory module and my radeonVE,
booted MorphOS 1.4.1 without any problem straight from my DVD burner.
I'm still astonished by the speed difference between my already fast Pegasos 1 and the Pegasos 2.
The G4 behaves very well, the stability so far seems okay, the computer sound is perfect. Ambient
opens a 300+ files folder in less than a second (!). I performed many MD5 sums test over 800 mb files
and no problem occured.
As for the installation process, it was especially simple for me that already had MorphOS 1.4. I simply
copied the boot.img from the supplied CD to my MorphOS partition, rebooted, and typed 'boot hd:0 boot.img' (Where 0 is the partition number of my hard disk).
For someone that would prefer a clean installation, though, there is a slight problem: the install
script checks for a bad MD5 sum. The solution here is to copy the installation script in ram, and remove
the MD5 check with ed. Another solution, even simpler, copy the whole CD to the freshly formatted HD.
The problem was already known and a fix should be available already.
Finally, it makes several hours the computer is turned on, I had no crash so far. Compatibility seems
to be perfect with the Pegasos 1, without the bugs of its predecessor.
My comment:
It's been so many years we've been expecting a G4 Amiga compatible system,
I think the product fulfills more than a necessity. It's a dream come true.

Hyperion and Metropolis announce AmigaOS 4 version of Gorky 17
Hyperion Entertainment and Metropolis announce an AmigaOS4 version of Gorky17:
"Leuven, Belgium. - December 25, 2003
Hyperion Entertainment and Metropolis Software have extended their existing license agreement for "Gorky 17", Metropolis' critically acclaimed RPG/Strategy title, to cover not only Linux but also the upcoming AmigaOS 4.
Gorky 17 is a horror conspiracy game mixing elements of strategy and RPG gameplay. The player commands a small group of NATO soldiers who must reveal the mystery behind the sudden appearance of hybrid creatures in a small Polish city named Lubin. The city is being terrorized, the area is surrounded by NATO troops and media from all over the world, and the first group sent into the city disappears without a trace. The main hero of the story is the 40-year old soldier Cole Sullivan, a commando team member with extensive scientific knowledge. His team's task: to explain the hybrids' presence and to find the missing members of Group One. But that, of course, is just the beginning...
The AmigaOS 4.0 port is already well under way as can be seen on the
screenshots published with this press release.
The Amiga and Linux ports are being carried out by Steven Fuller and Joe Tennies who are recent "converts" to the Amiga platform after they recently joined the Hyperion Entertainment game development team.
Steven Fuller and Joe Tennies have an impressive track-record in the field of Linux (gaming) related development."

Hyperion announce "AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release" CD for early 2004
Hyperion Entertainment announce the release of an AmigaOS 4.0 pre-release for all current AmigaOne owners for early 2004:
"Leuven, Belgium. - December 25, 2003
Hyperion Entertainment and the OS 4.0 development team are pleased to announce that OS4 development has now sufficiently advanced for a comprehensive Developer Pre-release of Amiga OS 4.0 to be distributed to all current AmigaOne owners shortly after the New Year.
In view of the fact that quite a few of you reminded us that you do not have broadband internet access, the original idea to offer an initial version of OS 4.0 for download was abandoned in favor of an "easy to install", self-contained distribution on CD.
Whilst this will obviously entail more cost to Hyperion and require more time for duplication and distribution, the upside is that we will be able to provide developers with everything they need to start developing for OS 4.0.
The developer material will include sample source-code, an initial version of the AmigaOS 4.0 SDK as well as native OS 4.0 compilers (GCC 2.95.3, GCC 3.4 and VBCC) and cross-compilers for various platforms (Linux x86/PCC, Mac OS X etc.).
The Developer Pre-release will require an upgrade of the AmigaOne firmware which was bumped from U-Boot 0.1.1 to U-Boot 1.0 and which is currently undergoing final testing.
Further details will be announced shortly.
Hyperion Entertainment and the OS 4 development team would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support and patience.
The fact that you are still here, 10 years after the demise of Commodore, has been a tremendous encouragement to us during these 2 years of laborious development.
Make no mistake: your patience will finally be rewarded with the fastest and most powerful incarnation of AmigaOS ever.
Merry X-mas and a prosperous 2004 to all of you!"

Nostalgia: Macromedia Flash Conversion of Classic Amiga "Cracktros"
Because us upstanding Amiga users may naturally not utter such names as Skidrow, Paradox, Red Sector or Vision Factory, Melon gave us the opportunity to retroactively amuse ourselves with the sights and sounds of those intros from old cracked games, a nostalgia that will warm our hearts. Here is the conversion of the old Amiga "Cracktros" in Macromedia Flash format.
More Flash ports of C64 and Amiga Cracktros may be found at Doc Snyder and Nostalgia. (snx) (Translation: dm)

Music: New Track on the Psyria Homepage
After nearly an eight month pause, there was an update on 24th December 2003 to the Psyria homepage. Because it was musically very quiet around Psyra this year, there's just one new track exclusively for free download. "Overflow" is sort of an Ambient-style track. It was produced by Yel.C
vs. Psyria, and is available for download from the download area.
At this point we'd like to wish all our fans happy Christmas and a great New Year. (nba) (Translation: dm)

Pictures from the Pegasos 2 - a slightly different Christmas story...
"Four against Murphy" or how the Pegasos 2 made it at least against all odds for Christmas:
At that time there was the order by Genesi that all already produced Pegasos 2 boards should be shipped until Christmas. And this Pegasos shipping 2 was the first at all.
So Gerald Carda and Thomas Knäbel from Oberursel went to Oberhausen, to DCE where the Pegasos 2 should be produced when the plain circuit boards should arrive there.
But there were no boards... TNT sent the boards to "DK" not to "DE" and now they had to be moved from Denmark to the right destination. Two worthful days went by...
But not enough, Murphy not satisfied yet - there was potential for more things going wrong. And seeesh!!! - a soldering machine went broke and needed a repair!
Holy evening approached and the question was not if something else might go wrong but what it will be this time. The answer came quicker than hoped: just on the first day of production one of the SMD machines left synchronity...
But Thomas and Gerald just kept the track and with the help of the whole DCE team the sailed through all these problems!
But: Worthful time was lost and the board production lasted till the afternoon of the 23rd...
Also the programmers were busy all day and night and worked coordinated by Ralph Schmidt on the new firmware and on fitting MorphOS 1.4.1 to the Pegasos 2. André Siegel had hands full of work with making the 61 page manual perfect and let it translate with two fellows to German and French.
The last day before Christmas Eve! How should the boards go on their journey just in time? Sure: His Pegasos 2 boards share Guido Does by Vesalia picked up just at the production site - but what shoud be done with the orders of the other customers?
Then Christian Kemp surprisingly came along offering his help - coming from his home in Luxembourg he offered to make a 600 km trip to bring the boards from DCE, Oberhausen to Ron van Herk, Rotterdam just that evening so that the boards could be sent to all the world an December the 24th.
So it came the day of Christmas Eve Christian and Ron supported by his wife Cindy packed Christmas packets with mainboards, CPU cards, slot panels, manuals and self burned and printed MorphOS CDs and brought them on their way.
At least Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco were able to announce the good news at morpos-news.de: UPS just got the boards intended for Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Luxembourg, the UK and the USA - including Hawaii.
The following pictures may be used as evidence that the Pegasos 2 boards are really produced and sent away:
Pictures of some Pegasos 2 boards
The Shipping: In the beginning there was chaos...
...but at least...
...and one by one...
...it was fullfilled by Christian and Ron:
The boards ready to go at ComputerCity in Rotterdam.
Merry Christmas!

Christmas greetings from Coyote Flux and individual Computers
Merry Christmas from a new team in the Amiga market: Coyote Flux and
individual Computers are working together on a basis of a contract that
has been signed on October 1st, 2003.
The young programmer-team also has a new website under www.coyoteflux.nl.
The two brothers Sharwin and Rakesh Raghoebardayal became famous in the
Amiga community for various projects like PPC680x0 (a 68K to PowerPC
assembly translator), the sound editing system Coyotesound, photogrammetry
software J Miner and more high-quality software.
Individual Computers is known for many hardware products for Amiga
computers, specialized PC hardware and retro-computing projects. Serving
private customers and professionals like the US computer forensic
department of defense, individual Computers mass-produces own designs, and
does contract work for other parties.
With more than 50 years combined experience and detailled knowledge about
the target markets, the newly formed team is geared towards development of
new hard- and software applications. The sales and marketing contacts of
individual Computers will make the products available worldwide in more
than 40 countries.
The first project of this cooperation is Kickflash OS4. Coyote Flux
provided the firmware of the product that has been sent to the resellers
yesterday. We hope that all users of classic Amigas will enjoy a fast
cold-start time of their computers with this product, and are looking
forward to more projects in the near future.
In time for the Christmas days, the toplevel domain server problems in
Gabon have been resolved. Our domain http://ami.ga is working again. (nba)

AmiGBG 2004 - Swedish Amiga Fair
For the third year in a row, the Swedish Amiga fair AmiGBG is arranged in
Gothenburg, Sweden. The date set for AmiGBG 2004 is the 17th of April next
year. The AmiGBG fair is an event which is focused on the Amiga computer
platform and is once a year gathering companies, user groups, users and
visitors who are all interested in or curious about the platform that
created the essence of multimedia - the Amiga.
This year's fair is held by three Amiga user groups all situated in
Sweden; AmiGBG from Gothenburg, ACGGBG (Amiga Computer Group) from
Gothenburg and Syntax Society from Landskrona in the south of Sweden.
In the year 2002 the first AmiGBG event was held. It was a huge success
with around 450 visitors. The year after, it was yet again time to open
the gates for another great AmiGBG fair at Lindholmen, Gothenburg.
AmiGBG is an event that partly looks back upon the history around the
Amiga personal computer, but the main focus lies on the promising future
that this platform now has - in terms of new hardware (the AmigaOne) which
is based on the PowerPC processor and a new version of AmigaOS (Amiga
Operating System) for this new hardware - AmigaOS 4.
At the fair, you will have a chance to see the new AmigaOne systems based
on the G3 and G4 processors and also have a look on the classic Amiga
computers that many people were brought up together with - these days
gathered under the concept Classic Amiga.
At AmiGBG 2004 we also hope to be able to present a complete version of
the AmigaOS 4 running on the AmigaOne. If so, that will be the highlight
of the fair and a starting shot for the comeback of Amiga!
Furthermore; Linux will be demonstrated on AmigaOne, user groups will have
a chance to present themselves - the fair is a gathering force for
everyone interested in the future of Amiga. The target group is of course
people interested in Amiga, but also people that are interested in
alternative computer platforms.
Among the exhibitors, you will find everything from Swedish and European
companies to Swedish user groups. Not only pure Amiga related companies
have been invited - but also other hardware retailers.
For some more information about the previous events held by AmiGBG, please
check these links:

Textviewer: EvenMore updated
I have updated EvenMore exe and plugins to use the OpenURL library for the clickable links, both in the MSWord and HTML plugins, so now if you click on an email address or a Web address, the appropriate app will open.
I have also updated the MSWord plugin to find the correct start and end file positions from the FileInfoBlock (before I was just estimating, which sometimes didn't work). (snx)

AMIGAplus 12/2003 (#142): Weihnachtszeit
Am 19. Dezember 2003 erschien die Ausgabe 12/2003 (#142) der AMIGAplus
(Versand am 17.12.2003) mit folgenden Themen:
A1200 im Acryl-Glas-Tower
Fast jeder Amiga-Anwender mit einem Amiga 1200 in einem Towergehäuse kennt
das Problem, ganz besonders aber alle, die ihren Amiga in einem
Towersystem von MicroniK untergebracht haben: Wenn die Anzahl an
eingebauter Hardware zunimmt, geht die Stabilität des Towers verloren. Mit
etwas Geschick und Fleiß können auch Sie Ihrem Classic Amiga 1200 auf
seine alten Tage ein würdiges und vor allem ein stabiles Gehäuse selbst
bauen. Die Materialwahl fiel auf das dem Glas in der Konsistenz ähnliche
Material Acryl.
Tipps für Santa Claus
Nur noch wenige Tage, dann quetscht sich der weißbärtige Dicke mit dem
roten Mantel wieder durch die Schornsteine in allen Nationen. Damit der
gute Santa das Weihnachtsfest nicht durch das falsche Geschenk verdirbt,
sollten Sie noch eilig einen Wunschzettel ausfüllen und an der rechten
Stelle platzieren. Die schönsten Geschenke für Amiganer, Technik- und
Design-Liebhaber finden Sie in der AMIGAplus – auch für den kleinen
Geldbeutel fernab vom Kommerzialismus.
Digitalkameras im Aufschwung
In keinem Jahr zuvor hat sich das digitale Aufnahmemedium so schlagkräftig
durchsetzen können. Die Absatz kurve der Hersteller verläuft steil nach
oben und zeigt, dass Fotografen aller Themengebiete dem neuen Medium
vertrauen und es vermehrt einsetzen, den Schritt in die Fotografie wagen
oder den Wechsel von der Analog- zur Digitalfotografie vollziehen. Wir
präsentieren die Highlights des zurückliegenden, hervorragenden Jahrganges
2003 und geben den einen oder anderen Tipp für den Weihnachtsmann.
