Game: New Demo-Engine for SOMS available
The new demo engine is better and faster, furthermore graphics have been enhanced and according to Silvio Kurze contains sound now, too.

SOMS is about an action adventure like never before released for the Amiga. Action devotees well be have fun with the about 100 different enemies, numerous screen filling final enemies and extended levels as well, especially if they get supported by 20 configurable weapons and the same amount of spells!

If the adventure devotee gets horrored by the above, it is to say that combats can be avoided by cleverness, if you deal with the numerous puzzles.

Also the role game devotees, disliking the minimal possiblities to equip the characters in action games, can knock down satisfyed! The variety starts with free naming of the 4 main characters, goes thru the continuous enhancement of features and capabilities of your own character, the detailed multiple-choice dialogs with about 100 persons, the sophisticated weapon system, thru the 10 characters with own tactics, views and goals of life joining the force one by one.

For one month there is the graphic competition to "Schlachtfeld". Today Horst Diebel gave some more details for the graphics to be made.

In contrary to the "old" Schlachtfeld units and background will stand in a relation 1 to 1 that means 64 pixels are ca. 20 m. The size of the pattern will be 64x64 pixels and you can use 256 colours or more. The developer would be very delighted if you took part. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Chaos Computer Club: Censorship is being done
A provider from Nordrhein-Westfalen (German county) starts to block Internet sites.

In some sort of hurrying obedience at least one Internet provider in Düsseldorf (Germany), the ISIS company, has constricted access to several Internet sites by changing the DNS entry on the ISIS name server. Yesterday, the Chaos Computer Club got aware of this censorship effort.

On a hearing of the county government of Düsseldorf with diverse Internet providers it was discussed by what means providers would be able to block access to diverse outlandish websites, [1].

This was in main about sites spreading radical right-wing content, but also rotten.com, specialized to collect more or less tastily picture material from the Internet, was condsidered to be dignified to be censored. Rotten.com quote thier extreme photo collection, among other of of casualties, as serious dealing with the manor of freedom of speech.

Philipp Schulte of CCC Düsseldorf in view of this faint-hearted censorship effort said: "It is to assume that the still very short list of objectionable websites will increase very much in the future and other providers will follow the example of censorship outrider ISIS".

To use a different name server appears to be a work-around for customers. eg. 194.246.96.49 (dns2.denic.de), 194.246.96.25 (dns3.denic.de), 194.25.2.131 (dns02.btx.dtag.de).

The Chaos Computer Club's considered opinion is that censorship by technical means is not a suitable way to handle content supposed to be problematic. "The massive restriction of the citizens in exercising their freedom of opinion is beyond the pale", added Jens Ohlig, CCC speaker.

Though the hearing of the county government in Düsseldorf on November 13 ended 'result open', according to numerous particitpants, customers of those providers, who are in hurrying obedience complyed with the governments suggestions, on access to several sites instead of the original notes receive an 'informer form' [2] to announce Internet sites thought to be problematic to the county government NRW.

The county government's approach to filter the Internet offers and by this to attempt to establish censorship is a critical step into the wrong direction in the opinion of the Chaos Computer Club .

"Instead of establishing technical filters, which reconcilableness with the constitutional law at least is questionable and which technical implementation is easy to avoid anyway, the government authorities rather should focus their efforts to sponsor the loom of media competences. More important than technical methods would it be to emerge a social immunity for content thought to be problematic", added Andy Müller-Maguhn, club speaker, to the club's statement. [3]

To what extent other companies in NRW followed the suggestions of the county government, without being legally bound to, is being reviewed. (ps) (Translation: mj)

SharkPPC is not a development of ELBOX?!
On Sunday 18th of November in 2001 on the VGR-sites (title link) a very interesting news message has been published: The SharkPPC which was introduced by ELBOX at the fair is supposed to be nothing more than a relabeled Sonnet PPC-card. If you will have a look at the Sonnet-product site it will confirm it.

Accordingly ELBOX has not developed "its" SharkPPC for itself. Therefore the introduction of the SharkPPC+ (which is supposed to have IDE-controller, AGP-slot and USB) can be doubted. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Hyperion: Warp3D support for Permedia 3 and ATI Radeon
Hyperion Entertainment has entered into an agreement with third parties to ensure Permedia 3 and ATI Radeon support for Warp3D, effectively doubling the number of supported chipsets.

"We are thrilled to be able to open up ever more possibilities to users of Amiga PCI busboards", says Ben Hermans, managing partner of Hyperion Entertainment. "The Permedia 3 is around 6 times faster than the Permedia 2 and offers a lot more functionality including full OpenGL compliance. The chipset is still frequently used in high-end 3D workstations. The ATI Radeon family is undeniably state of the art with well-rounded 2D performance and top-notch 3D performance that is on par with anything out there in the Wintel world. Support for the Radeon family will allow Amiga users to enjoy unrivalled performance and functionality."

More details will be disclosed in the upcoming weeks. (ps)

Hyperion Entertainment brings 3D graphics to PDA's
Hyperion Entertainment is very pleased to announce that it has finalised an initial version of its "Warp3D" technology, a mature, small foot-print, feature-rich yet very fast 3D solution for ElateTM/ Amiga DETM based devices.

Warp3D allows content-creators to effortlessly deploy 3D graphics on low-end devices such as PDA's, web-tablets and 3G phones and is the product of years of development in response to concrete performance challenges and 3D technology.

Hyperion intends to showcase the Warp3D technology by producing several PDA oriented games.

"A lot of the PDA content we are seeing now is a throw-back to the earlier days of entertainment software and whilst this is not necessarily a bad thing, we do believe that users would like to enjoy sophisticated 3D content on these devices as well. Our contract-work for LithTech Inc. also means we were able to incorporate extensive research and expertise in the field of software rendering which resulted in one of the fastest software renderers in the industry - the only viable solution on a non 3D-accelerated PDA. Add to that a highly optimised subset of OpenGL which is nonetheless capable of running industry-standard 3D engines like Quake IITM and LithTechTM and you have a piece of very compelling technology indeed."

Warp3D was already successfully field-tested on the SH3 powered version of Sharp's Zaurus PDA and is due for imminent release.

The technology will remain in continuous development and will be licensed to interested parties.
For the complete press release see title link. (ps)

Update for our show report
Since I did not talked to Titan Computer on the show, I called Michael Garlich, today, to be able to add the news from Titan Computer. The details described below have been added to the show report (title link):

Highlight at the booth of Titan Computer was a video cut software "Motion Studio" for MorphOS capable of reading DV format. The development of the software is expected to be released along with the Pegasos board by bplan. It was presented with a beamer what the video cut software already can do. Unfortunately it is not possible to port the software to AmigaOS, due to firwire being required.

More applications under development:

The office package "Papyrus" was finished at 90% for MorphOS and is to be ported to the AmigaOS 4.0 later on.
Candy Factory II, software to create vidoe titles, logos, and web images for MophOS. The created pictures can be imported by MotionStudio using an interface.
A MorphOS version of Burn-IT Pro (DVD burning software) was presented. Said to be finished until April 2002.

Games under development:

Beside of the above mentioned applications Titan Computer is developing two new games, too. "Rage Hard" is a 3D multiplayer shooter similar to Counterstrike. This game is being developed for MorphOS and the new Amigas. "Alien Nations" is another game for MorphOS and AmigaOS (PPC) under development, a build-up strategy game similar to Settlers.

Titan Comuter will port their current software product line to MorphOS, as much titles as possible. (ps) (Translation: mj)

AMIGA 2001: Gleanings by amiga-news.de (Update III)
The show AMIGA 2001, which took place on 17th and 18th November 2001, was organized by Falke Media and was held at the Mediapark 6 in Cologne, Germany, on about 718 sq.yd. exhibition space. By our count there were about 1,000 visitors on the show, consuetudinary most of them came on Saturday.

bplan GmbH - Pegasos-System
Very much interesting was the first official presentation of the run capable Pegasos machine by the bplan GmbH, utilizing the operating system MorphOS. Gerald Carda presented a test program to us which displayed plasma effects. Unaccelerated (about the speed of 68050/50) this program generates 4 pictures per second (FPS). The same program compiled for MorhpOS generates 192 FPS.

Thomas Knäbel and Gerald Carda told us about a number of between 100 and 200 developer systems to be available from early January 2002. Interested developers might register using a registration page at bplan, before long. If there will be more registrations than boards available, it will be selected by progam priority. The developers should send bug reports, if there will occur problems.

Machines for end-users will follow about 8 - 12 weeks later. Those machines will cost about 1,000 Euro and are planned to be delivered with the following equipment:
  • 8 MB AGP graphic board
  • 128 MB RAM
  • DVD Drive
  • 20 GB HD
  • Mouse and Keyboard

The interesting point of MorhpOS for sure is, that existing PPC programs can be started directly on this system. Companies like Titan-Computer and Epic interactive will extensively adapt their programs to this system.

Amiga OS XL, the new super-fast Amiga emulators for x86 machines were presented on three different computers at Haage&Partner. The speed is impressing and faszinating at the same time.

Amiga OS XL consists of two emulator systems: AMIthlon and Amiga XL for QNX in a bundle. The emulators are similar to each other in many parts, but there are basic differences, too. With this prevalent Amiga 68k applications run 10 - 20 times faster on current PC hardware than on a convetional 68060 systems. This tremendous speed is achieved by a modified and accelerated emulator. With it one gets versions of PageStream, ImageFX, ArtEffect, Cinema4D, Real3D, and any other program fast like turbo.

Haage&Partner's highlight is a x86 machine built into a luxury computer case of noble design and with Amiga OS XL installed. The body of the computer was made of aluminium, the front side is of azure plastic.

While talking to H&P they appeared to be surprised by the allmost all-time positive visitors' response and amazed at the still great demand for information, though there have been many press releases before. Sales could have been better, but satisfied.

Hyperion - AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC
Without doubt the most interesting thing on the second day of the show was our talk to Ben Hermans, Thomas and Hans-Jörg Frieden of Hyperion Entertainment about AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC. It was determined and safe by contract that Hyperion will develop AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC. Aspired term of completion of an initial distributing version is February 2002. This distributing version still will have parts of 68k code, which will be handed in later by BoingBag updates when finished.

Hyperion will work together with bplan to make the AmigaOS 4.0 PPC running on the Pegasos machine. Hyperion additionally talked to many other hardware and software developers to make their products compatible, too. This gave a very positive sign, because after a long period of time a joint line and goal is being followed, again.

Titan Computer - Update 20. November.2001

Highlight at the booth of Titan Computer was a video cut software "Motion Studio" for MorphOS capable of reading DV format. The development of the software is expected to be released along with the Pegasos board by bplan. It was presented with a beamer what the video cut software already can do. Unfortunately it is not possible to port the software to AmigaOS, due to firwire being required.

More applications under development:

The office package "Papyrus" was finished at 90% for MorphOS and is to be ported to the AmigaOS 4.0 later on.
Candy Factory II, software to create vidoe titles, logos, and web images for MophOS. The created pictures can be imported by MotionStudio using an interface.
A MorphOS version of Burn-IT Pro (DVD burning software) was presented. Said to be finished until April 2002.

Games under development:

Beside of the above mentioned applications Titan Computer is developing two new games, too. "Rage Hard" is a 3D multiplayer shooter similar to Counterstrike. This game is being developed for MorphOS and the new Amigas. "Alien Nations" is another game for MorphOS and AmigaOS (PPC) under development, a build-up strategy game similar to Settlers.

Titan Comuter will port their current software product line to MorphOS, as much titles as possible.

DCE - G-REX
Thomas Dellert and Michael Göken of DCE presented the PCI busboard G-Rex working in an A4000 with Cyberstrom 604/68060 and AmigaOS 3.9 as well as WarpUP.

An USB card for mouse and keyboard, a Voodoo graphic board (3/3000), a WIN-TV card with radio tuner, and a sound card (Terratec 512i) were working on the PCI board. There are many good reasons for this solution: Graphic speed, wheel mouse and multimedia keyboard, support of the USB card, 100 MBit network card can be connected; all in all it became possible to use cheap generic PC hardware by the PCI busboard G-Rex. The board is being offerd for A4000D/T and A1200.

Elbox - Mediator
Elbox presented their Mediator system. The following models were shown:
  • Mediator PCI ZIV
  • Mediator PCI 1200
  • Mediator PCI 4000
  • Shark PPC G3/G4

Again the reasons mentioned regarding DCE match here. With help of a PCI busboard it is possible to use cheap PCI hardware for various purposes.

Other Hardware-Products

Jens Schönfeld of Individual Computers showed us a pre-run model of the interface card VarioIO, which will be available before Christmas, already.

Basing on a Logitech 2 button mouse Schönfeld developed a real Amiga / Atari mouse. Also this production will start next days.

Thorsten Hansen of Kato Development showed us the prototype of the Melody successor. This card will have the functions of the Melody card plus the following specialities:
  • MP3 audio not only can be decoded in real-time, but also encoded.
  • Analog mixer function.
  • Digital in/out (optical / coaxial)

Michael Böhmer showed his USB controller Subway with which you can connect prevalent USB devices to the clock port of the A1200. Up to four devices can be use without an additional USB hub. VMC started to develop drivers, already. Currently drivers for mouse and keyboard are available. Drivers for printers, digital cameras, and scanners are scheduled.

Other Software-Products

Amiga Forever 5.0
Michael Battilana of Cloanto presented the new Amiga Forever 5.0. Amiga Forever is about an official licensed Amiga emulator package for Windows and other platforms. Just put the CD into the drive, click on the icon and it runs. Eight different emulation programs, all of the required Kickstart ROMs, Workbenchs, licenses, as well as an all-around package with useful Amiga sofware are included.
Due to the implemented JIT compiler (just-in-time) version 5.0 is about 30 time faster than Amiga Forever 4. The emulator comes on a CD containing the famous video "The Deathbed Vigil" (1 h, 59 min.) and the video "Jay Miner Speech" (49 min.).
But Amiga Forever 5.0 is available for download as online version, too.

epic interactive - THE FEEBLE FILES
epic announce THE FEEBLE FILES for the Amiga. This game is about a cartoon adventure. Beside of the MorphOS port there also will be an AmigaOS verison. The Amiga version will be available as entirely localized versions in Engish and German (voice output). An Amiga with 4 MB graphic board, 68060 or PPC, and at least 32 MB RAM is required.
Development of the Amiga version already started and epic hopes to be able to deliver the finished product already before Christmas 2001.

Descent:Freespace
Hyperion showed the new game Descent-Freespace. This game is about a space shooter. The Amiga port of Freespace was finished at 99% and will be available as 68k (with 3D hardware only) and PPC version from H&P, soon. Those who ordered the game on the show got a free demo CD for testing at home, already.

Project Crashsite
Markus Pohlmann (program) and Denis Comtesse (music) are busy developing the science fiction role game Project Crashsite. The place of action in this game is a colonialized second system consiting of two moons. The player takes the part of the "Future Security Corps" which is the system's police.

The game's goal is to stabilize the unstable situation of this system. This is not easy to achieve, due to a big conspiracy defering the relation of potency. The player is sent into the game almost without any background information about the conspiracy to make him choose "pal and enemy" himself, because depending on his choice the game becomes easier or more difficult.

Currently four people are working on this game, thus it is not possible to announce some date of comlpetion at the time being.

PuzzleBOBS
In cooperation with Emanuele Cesaroni of Nexus Development the Amiga Arena and Fun Time World present the game in partnership. PuzzleBOBS is about a "Bust´n Move" clone. From now on a demo version is available on http://www.funtime-world.de/puzzle.html or from the support page at the Amiga Arena.

Technical backgrounds:
  • PuzzleBOBS is completely configurable.
  • Screenmode (AGA / OCS / ECS / Picasso96 or CyberGraphX compatible graphic boards).
  • Bitplanes: up to 16- and 24Bit screens.
  • Playable in three languages (German, Italian, English)
  • Playable from HD, full or partly installation (min. 14 MB)
  • Written in 100% assembler
  • Import of own levels and sounds.

Backgrounds, bubbles, object speed, music and sound effects, explosion style, and masses of other little things, as well, can be configured to match your own personal desire.

The game was programmed to allow different bubbles to have different characteristics. There are bubbles that bounce back form walls, which of course simplifies severity. The game runs in full multitasking on it's own screen or in a window on the Workbench.

When the game's window becomes inactive the game automatically turns to sleep mode, which is a special feature to let you continue your work on the Workbench. In sleep mode even every audio channel and colour palette get's released.

Miscellaneous

GGS Data - Amiga Show
Gunne Steen of the Swedish vendor GGS Data informed us about an Amiga show in Göteborg, Sweden, planned to take place on 2. March 2002 (maybe also on 3. March 2002). The respective website will be online in about seven days. Comanies and user groups are heartily invited to attend the show as exhibitors.

Psyria - Music
Dennis Lohr gave us a CD on the show on which he eternalized his trance song for amiga-news.de. This song also is available for download: Amiga News Theme (ca. 7 MB). Again thank you very much to Dennis for taking the trouble to create this song. This realy is a privilege to us!

Annex - Music
Daniel Schulz of Annex assured us that the music group, known by several Amiga songs, still is alive. Meantime many new pices of music were recored, extracts can be downloaded as MP3.

Still the vocals are missing, because the band still is searching for a female singer. She should have been singing in a band before, come from the dance/trance field, and live in the Rhein-Main area (Germany). Interessted singers might contact Daniel Schulz (include a demo if possible). Two maxi-singles with three songs on each and maybe a long-player with all songs are planned.

Virtual Dimension
The crew of Virtual Dimension did many interviews and took many pictures for their show video. The video is estimated to be published before Christmas.
Furthermore Virtual Dimension introduced the round and text basing space game StarEmpire II by Christian Becker . Up to 32 players are possible.

Airbrush Paradise Tingler
Rolf Tingler prettified diverse things with different motives. Of course mainly motives with BoingBalls were desired. Starting from cell phones thru Swiss pocket knives everything got "boinged" with airbrush technic.

Upshot:

Interesting hard- and software solutions were presented. There was good mood on the show and intensive discussing everywhere. However, it is to be said that in spite of all those innovations and in spite of the positive signs some certain questions were left without an answer, cause neither Amiga Inc. nor Eytech or Escena attended the show. Thats where descriptions regarding the plans of Amiga Inc. for the AmigaOne are required.

Finally one discerning word regarding the organization. The corridors along the "focal points" on the upper floor were way to narrow. Occasionally there were such big crowd that it was hard to get to the booths.

Christoph Dietz, Petra Struck as well as Meike Hilke (photos) were on the show for 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)

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

Probably nobody can exculpate himself from this. Everyone of us once was bound to this fever to free Guybrush from an embarrassing situation, just to see him stumbling right into the next one.

But, what has happened to this? What about the adventure genre? Does it have to be 3D all the time?

If you are able to unhesitant and in peace of conscience say no to the latter question, I recommend the page about 'Space-Rat Tukult' warmly to you.

Yes, it's true - Space Rat will come back. A mind-blowing combination of classic adventure game and Ziggy, the Space Rat, which enriched the ASM until lastly.

By some kind words certainly the team would be willing to develop for the Amiga, too. The news of November 17 already question that, for example.

Last but not least I would like to cite the Tukult team, for I even wasn't able to say it better: 'So, if you also belong to those people grown up with rubber chicken with snap-hooks underside and jerrycans on Mars, it is to say that you've discoverd the Holy Grail by comming to this page.'

There's only one thing left for me to say in this sense: 'Ziggy to the (A)miggy!' (sd) (Translation: mj)

In a surprising move Microsoft allowed us to include the golf simulations from Access Software, a company which they acquired two years ago. Enjoy 'Leaderboard' and 'World Class Leaderboard'. 'Links' will come online soon, too.

Please visit BTTR for a full list of all games which have been added or you'll miss masterpieces like Realms, Thexder, Mixed-Up Mother Goose, Super Skidmarks CD32 and many others.

As usual many scene-demos, music files and pictures have been added to our archive. (sd)

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.
  • In the beginning memory protection will be limited to prevent access to not allocated memory.
  • New Warp3D will be implemented (with Matrox-, Permedia3-, and Radon1/2 support).
  • WarpInput for input device management.
  • Generic PCI drivers to better integrate the different PCI boards (hardware drivers will have to be developed only once, at last).
  • USB support.
  • New TCP/IP stack ('Roadshow').
  • Picasso96 as standard in a PPC native version.
  • It's said to run on any PPC Amiga, while Blizzard cards might suffer from low performance.
  • 68k emulation (JIT version) will be integrated.
  • AmigaDE will be on it.
  • Java was sait to come, too (but not already in the initial version).
  • Price: In the range of AmigaOS V3.5 or V3.9.
  • Amiga ZorroII and ZorroIII would be supported (at least the most prevalent cards).
  • PPC datatypes.
  • AHI for Sound.
A version would be available from January, already.

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)

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:
  • MP3 audios can not only be decoded in real time but alos encoded.
  • Analogue mixer function
  • Digital input/output (optical/coaxial)


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.

V3.61 of ISAcatweasel.device
Just before the finishing of the fair preparations we have managed to release a new version of the ISAcatweasel.device. The driver is downloadable from the support area (title link).

Note by Jens Schönfeld:
The driver is "blindly" programmed, I therefore ask the users with a working Amithlon system to try the device. For the time being it is only possible to read from disks, the writing is locked yet (floppy disks appear as being write protected). (ps) (Translation: wk)

SuSE Linux 7.3 for PowerPC available
After a long waiting it is time again. SuSE Linux 7.3 for PowerPC is now available at SuSE GmbH and at the retailers. 8 CDs contain more than 2000 software packages. To mention only a small selection of new software here are some examples:

KOffice, OpenOffice, Ogg/Vorbis (DivX), KDE 2.2.1, Gnome 1.4.1
But the distribution's highlight should be the availability of the filesystems Ext3, JFS and ReiserFS (all journaling filesystems).

As in the past I'll create an installation guide for Amiga systems. In any case I'll let you know when these are available on the net. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Fractal Graphic: FlashMandelWOS 1.5
Version 1.5 of FlashMandelWOS has been uploaded on Aminet in gfx/fract directory. With FlashMandel you can create fractal graphics.

This has changed in the new version:
  • FlashMandel has a new Reaction-GUI. You need OS3.5 (or higher) for this feature. Now it's possible to use all features only by mouse.
  • Added support for Localization for Italian and German languages, others are welcome ;-).
  • A new installer-script makes it easy to install, update or delete FlashMandel.
  • The ppc-routines are reworked, so the speed increases about 12%.
  • Better print-routines for better output, now should be printed the whole A4 paper.
  • Some minor internal changes and optimizations increasing compatibility with all future Amiga clones ;-).
  • and much more...
