Nursery School ?
As I learned the IRC conferences organized by UGN and conducted by the Amiga-Club didn't went off as without a hitch as I said in my show report. Script-kiddies didn't have better things to do as to flood the channel with multilating scripts, so some of the panned IRC conferences had be interrupted or could not take place, at all. UGN was already thinking of never again to organize conferences from shows.

To people not able to attend a show the IRC conferences always were an appreciated possibility to get actual information, and most of all the only opportunity to address their questions directly to the VIP's of the branch.

Therefore I appeal to the scrip-kiddies to grow up at last and to stop their nursery school behavior.

Free Advertising Banners at Amiga-Community.net
Amiga-Community.net Christmas special: Free advertising banners on the main page without link! (Editor's note: An advertising banner without link might be pretty useless.) Send your logo (max. 120x120) to xandiy@web.de.

All of the logos sent in up to 12-23-2000 will be put on the site. The logos will appear rotatory where at this time the pictures of the WoA2000 are shown. It would have to be a pretty definite logo, cause there will be no linking! This action will start if enough logos will be there and will last until 01-06-2001 incl..

2IDs GRAFIX DESIGN MUSIX and more


Flash version finished of the gallery "The man as subject of art"
Well, now it is the time, at last: also the flash version today did the jump to the net. Beseide of the HTML version now the optically more extended pages, but of same content, are online. Under the title link all of the render-workes / grafix-people and artists are invited to exhibit their art works. Of course copyright will stay with the relative artis.

Subject of the pictures is "THE MAN AS SUBJECT OF ART".
We are looking forward to your contributions. So, get to your AMIGA or PC or even MAC and start creatively. Let the artists know what you think about their art work, and use our guest book to do so.

With Amiga to the Diploma
By this I would like to officially thank everybody who guided and supported my during my studies to become a graduate engineer for media technics. To everybody who suffered from my lack of time I would like to say thank you for your understanding.

As my final year project substantially deals with Amiga I would not withdraw it from the public. It is available for download on my homepage (German):

un-archived as pdf file(1,8 MB)
lha archived (1,2 MB)

The subject of the project is:
Conception and implementation of an automated control for a monitor-wall under technical and marketing political aspects. Automation bases on an ARexx script controlling several applications running non an Amiga 1200. For creation of software my special thanks go to:

Rico Schreckenbach
Stefan Robl
Karlheinz Marks
Stefan Steppat

To continue this project placing of some hardware for MPEG video display would be necessary. As e.g. the related module for the CD32 isn't available any more, for this new projects as like as Mediator might be addressed as a solution.

With this technic and our software an arrangement could be designed and delivered that would be unique in the event branch.

- runs stable and reliable
- optimized software
- well-priced hardware
- easy editing
- arbitrary expandable

With this the most efficient and moreover cheapest device of it's kind would be created. Well now, dear hardware developers: don't let them detain or discourage you. THANK YOU.

Think-pad without Crusoe
IBM will not bring note-books with the Crusoe processor by Transmeta to the market. On detailed reasons the company keeps silent.

The official statement from IBM said the processor would not fit to the current marketing concept. The decision not to equip think-pads with this processor is a bad blow for Transmeta. An unfavourable timing, because from November the company's shares shall be deald in Nasdaq. Senior analyser Peter Glaskowsky from Microdesign Resources assumes that IBM wouldn't like to use the processor due to the bad performance. Testings with Sony note-books would have turned out that a Crusoe processor 700MHz would not be faster than an Pentium 233MHz, Glaskowsky added.

AROS News
In December again a number of things happened at AROS. Stefan Berger did a complete rewrite of the layers.library, hence it is much faster, but easier than the old one. Georg Steger contributed further files for ReqTools, and Adam Chodorowski started working on the workbench.library. Johan Alfredsson has enhanced the ReqTools file requester, and the drive requester now works. A PS/2 Mouse.HIDD was added by Michael Schulz. More details are to find under the title link.

boeder - no salvation at sight
Some still remember this company from old Amiga days (disks, joysticks, a.m.m.). The "Computer Partner 43/00" wrote, that the company already in October made application for insolvency. Negotiations for takeover failed, so the company faces the off. At the time being the Vivanco AG only is interested in the name, but even this only if the price is right. Insolvency procedures are planned to be started between December, 15th and 20th.

dynAMIte Server
We distributed a free preview of the game dynAMIte among the visitors of the WoA 2000. Normally you find the addresses of the game-servers on our support-side. Unfortunately the server is out of order at the moment.

You should use pulp.2y.net (port 6318) as the default server. This one is the official dynAMIte-server (TDSL-connection). Normally this server is available after 7 p.m. As soon as the web-server is back again you will be able to find the addresses of the other server on our support-page.

If there are any problems with the game you can discuss them with us at the IRC. We are daily available at the euIRCnet (irc.hes.de.euirc.net:6667 channel #AmigaZeux).

Realsoft 3D V4 - Press release
As mentioned in the exhibition-report, Hyperion will publish a AMIGA-version of there 'Realsoft 3D'. Here's the press release:

From: Yoris Benjamin
Subject: Realsoft 3D V4 press-release
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2000 14:32:54 +0100

Hello World !

Realsoft and Hyperion Entertainment team up to bring Realsoft 3D to the
Amiga.

Cologne, December 9, 2000.

Realsoft and Hyperion Entertainment have entered into an agreement to bring
Realsoft's critically acclaimed and highly advanced 3D modelling and
rendering package to the Amiga.

'Realsoft 3D' is a full featured modelling, rendering, animation and
simulation software tool. Its predecessor, Real 3D, originated on the Amiga
all these years ago and was renowned for its powerful and innovative tools.
Now the new, rewritten 'Realsoft 3D' provides even more power and introduces
dozens of exciting innovations, all accessible through a very carefully
designed, intelligent, and user-friendly interface. This new interface
adapts to the skills of the user and helps him/her to master advanced 3D
techniques with surprising ease. Realsoft 3D is designed to meet the
requirements of today's 3D artist who requires extreme performance through an
easy to use, productive user interface.

Commenting on the agreement, Realsoft's managing director Vesa Meskanen
remarked: "The success of our 3D product line started on the Amiga platform.
This opportunity to port our latest product generation back to Amiga is
therefore very welcome. The platform independent design of Realsoft 3D
together with Hyperion Entertainment's knowledge about the latest
developments of Amiga OS entails that after the initial porting work is done,
all our new software releases will include the Amiga platform without further
porting delays."

"We were extremely impressed by the feature-set of Realsoft 3D. This package
truly represents unbelievable value for money", said Ben Hermans, managing
partner of Hyperion Entertainment. "Through our activities in the field of
entertainment software, we have acquired enormous expertise in the field of
3D graphics. We were looking for a way to leverage this expertise and apply
it to other areas. Given Realsoft's Amiga background, it seemed natural to
approach them. We are very excited that we can play a role in bringing back
Real 3D's successor to the Amiga."

Realsoft 3D will be available for Amiga OS 3.x and Amiga DE in the course of
2001. Requirements and further details to be announced.

OS 3.9 - Presentation by Juergen Haage and Martin Steigerwald
Torsten Dudai did a report about the OS 3.9 presentation on the WoA:

Though there was "US-Amiga-News / Bill McEwen" an item of the agenda, neither Bill McEwen - who stayed in America - nor Fleecy Moss - who was at the show - were available at that time, so Juergen Haage had to stand in. In a direct dialogue with the users he tried to collect their worries and sorrows for Amiga Inc. to be able to estimate the current mood. But the discussion (due to the lack of facts on the subject AmigaDE) very soon resulted in the new OS 3.9, in which every attendant of the seminar was very interested. So, Juergen Haage was able to seamlessly led over to the following seminar.

Besides of individual problems (one elder man was especially "persistent") also much of the known subjects were addressed, as like as the condition of "50,000" sold copies of OS3.9 (Fleecy Moss), and the "license quarrel" around AmiTCP. In both cases Juergen Haage was able to quiet the devotees' minds: the number "50,000" would not be meaningful at all, because it even isn't combined with a date. Later one just would have to able to estimate if or if not OS 3.9 has been a success. For example only 40,000 (or less) sold copies already would be a big success. About the license quarrel Juergen Haage just said, "There is no license quarrel". Haage & Partner obtained the license for AmiTCP correctly and is allowed to distribute the TCP stack along with Genesis (no MUI, but Reaction GUI) on the CD-ROM.

Then together with Stefan Robl, the programmer of AmiDocks, the new OS3.9 tool-bar, (almost) all of the features of the new Amiga operating system were presented. During the presentation again ideas, criticism, and suggestions were given by the viewers. Juergen Haage put an implementation in parts into prospective for a coming "Boing-Pack 2". But the limits of what can be done are almost reached with this update. Without a change of the KickROMs not much further can be done, any more.

But about one subject he could not give any clear statement: Amiga DE. Haage & Partner still didn't decide whether or not they would port their own products to the new system. In parts this depends on the availability of a sophisticated GUI system, which isn't available at the time being.

Show report by Petra Struck

The World of Amiga 2000 from December, 9th to 10th, which was organized by Haage & Partner, was branded by the vending start of the new AMIGA OS3.9, which according to the vendors sold brilliant on the fair.

The show took place inside the really imposing building of Cologne's Mediapark 7 on about 300 m² room. For this show were organized within shortest time this event was attended very well with an amount of about 1500 visitors (note: own estimation). Seminars were held in the opposite building Mediapark 6. The first day of the fair Saturday was stamped by active crowd, while on Sunday it was rather unhurried, cause of only half as full as on the day before.

Before I start describing the highlights of the show I want to put across to every reader that I personally again liked this fair very much. I'm always exited about the cheerful and personal atmosphere. As already in Neuss an amazing amount of international attendants had come to the show. I've met and spoken to people from England, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Belgium, France, and Spain. The visitors had visible fun and where impressed by the many different presentations. Everywhere crowds of interested viewers got together.

Disappointment only dispersed caused by the fact that Bill McEwen didn't attend the show; short- termed and insuspendable deadlines kept him from coming to Cologne. Fleecy Moss, Vice President and Chief of Development, but provided for incredulous astonishment by stating there must be at least 50,000 copies of AMIGA OS3.9 sold, to be able to do OS4.0. As for this time nobody thinks this to be possible his statement was taken for a clear No for OS4.0.

As already in Neuss amiga-news.de together with the Amiga-Club im BTX & Internet was present with an own booth. From our editorial staff were on the fair: Dirk Baeyens, Tomás J. Cantó, Torsten Dudai, Ruediger Engel, Guido Fehst, Eric Gillé, Martina Jacobs, Rolf Tingler, and me truly. Nico Barbat was also on the show, but of course was very busy at his own booth (Falke-Verlag). Rolf inspired the visitor with his airbrushing skills.

We enjoyed to get in close contact with the readers and numerous dialogues convinced us to have high acknowledgment for our work, and encouraged us to continue to spend our free time for this project. Especially intensive and interesting were the dialogues with editors of other news services, as like Andrea Vallinotto from diff.org (ItalY), Adrian Sweeney from amigaglobe.com (Irland), Ian Maack from amiga.dk (Denmark), Sebastian Brylka from Fun Time World (Germany), and Mark Hinton and Russell Trent from AmigActive (England). Along this I would like to say thank you very much for the many kind compliments regarding our news service.

The Amiga-Club provided the people not able to attend the show with actual pictures from the fair, and cared for trouble-free UGN IRC chats. Traditional the club members answered our questions, and helped solving one or the other user's problem.

Also this time Michael Schaefer and Dennis Pauler from Virtual Dimension were busy with their video camera to create informing show videos. They did many interviews, and over and over made the microphone sure to work, cause on the last fair the microphone failed completely, which sure was half a disaster.

Trade and the big ones of the branch were present with their own booths - as a matter of fairness this time in alphabetical order or vice versa:

In talks with the exhibitors it became clear that - almost unisonous - they all came with mixed feelings, but against what they expected the visitors were joyfully buying. Trade overall voiced positive about sales.

Almost at all of the above mentioned booths presentations of different software and hardware took place which I will describe without special order. So for example Peter Hoffmann, Stefan Sommerfeld, and Juergen Rebensdorf from Aliendesign introduced their new sound card 'Repulse', which can be used with every Amiga with Zorro-II expansion. The sound card offers sampling rates from 8 to 48 kHz, including 44.1 kHz and 96 kHz S/P-Diff, and supports 16, 18, 20, and 24 Bit (S/P-DIF) sampling frequence in mono or stereo.

New at individual computers was the ISDN-Surfer Zorro card which was to purchase either with or without OVP. The announced products 'Lyra' (adapter to use WindowsTM keyborads with Amiga), and 'Buddha Flash MK2' unfortunately were not finished, but probably will be available before Christmas.

Dirk Conrad introduced his MAS-Player which is distributed by Eternity. The MPEG-Player is a small piece of hardware looking like a serial plug. The player can play MP3 files already on a machine only equipped with a 68000 68k processor. HiFi quality is around 18 Bit / 44 kHz. Since the WoA 2000 AmigaAMP is supported.

At the booth of Hyperion the attendants were able to admire a prototype of the G-Rex PCI board by DCE with Voodoo3 graphics board on action. With this system Heretic II really looked smooth, it was fast and the lightning effects were wonderfully visible. Users can look forward to better speed and nice graphics. The boards are planned to be finished end of December 2000.

Of course we yet asked for the projects under construction at Hyperion, and summarized the answers as follows:
  • Shogo: Hans-Joerg and Thomas Frieden are working on the Amiga version which presumably will be finished end of January 2001.
  • Freespace: On the port of this space shooter Steffen Haeuser and Matthias Roslund are working. It is planned to finished 1Q/2001.
  • Majesty: Stephan Rusdorf and Thomas Frieden are busy porting this fantasy strategy game which includes roll game elements. It is expected to be finished 2Q/2001.
  • Die Voelker (Alien Nations): Harry Sintonen is working on the port of this popular build-up and strategy game, which is a big success similar to Siedler.
  • SIN: Steffen Haeuser and Peter Annuss are working on the port of the 3D shooter. The game will presumably be finished 1Q/2001.
  • Hyperion will also port the 3D software 'Realsoft 3D' by Realsoft to the Amiga! With this software comparable to 'Cinema3D' or 'Reflections' the Amiga users will get a 3D modelling tool more extended and modern than anything else released before.

Eyetech together with Martin Schueler from Escena introduce the plans for the AmigaOne machine. It was shown on diagrams how the system will look like. The 68k emulation is being developed by Haage & Partner.

At Eternity Tales of Tamar was presented - Martin Wolf's favourite project. In the meantime the world map and cities have been enabled. Still intense online tests are running and the beta testers are really sold on the game. Initial bigger beta test are planned for 2Q/2001.

Also at Eternity EASys! by Tom Neidhardt was presented. The current update offers improvements like e.g. a built-in start menu, OS3.9 menu support and alignment. Other changes: the archive manager now supports XPK; the menus are structured better, and extend of menus is scalable, and moreover the buggy installation of the previous version has been fixed, hence a trouble-less installation is possible,yet.

Eternity moreover presented a PC (Eternity 1) basing on 1 GHz (Tunderbird processor by AMD), equipped with gigabyte board, 128 MB DIMM -133, Ge-Force II graphics board 32 MB DD-RAM, Catweazel controller, 52x CD-ROM drive, 20 GB Quantum HD, two PC floppy drives (one of them connected to the Catweasel), as well as a sound card 128 Bit PCI. The gag of this PC is a perfectly pre-installed UAE under Windows. This way one gets a fast PC, and an AMIGA at the speed of 68040/60.

During an interview with Andreas Magerl and Georg Breitsprecher from Amiga Future and APC&TCP Mr. Magerl stated that financing of the now self-produced print magazine 'Amiga Future' finally is safe. Number of orders still isn't 100% satisfying, but a huge layout enhancement would attract more orders. I've seen the new layout and I can confirm it to be a difference like night and day. :-)

Andreas Kuessner from WK-Artworks presented 'Taifun', the successor of 'WildFire'. Taifun is being developed for the new operating system 'Amiga DE' using the Amiga Software Developer Kit (SDK). KDH-Datentechnik will be distributor of Taifun.

At epic interactive Paul Burkey introduce 'Simon The Sorcerer II'. The game will be at the vendors form the middle of next week. Also presented was 'Earth 2140', a real-time strategy game has been ported to the Amiga by Pagan Games on demand of epic interactive. The master volume is on its way to production.

Still under development is Dafel:Bloodline. Status: Thomas Wuergler continues to work on this game, but when it will be finished cannot be estimated at the time being. 'Converting games' currently has a higher priority.

The ATC team handed me a disk containing a preview of the reworked classic game Dynamite. This one will be to play via internet. I promise to have a look at it soon. :)


My quite personal summary: The AMIGA is anything but dead! There are innovative developments in hardware and software taking place. There is unfractured engagement and unrestricted attendance to continue. In many dialogues it got clear that we are facing a future which though is undetermined, it's not hopeless. Tenor from the exhibitors' commercial point of view was, "Though one is able to make enough money with the Amiga, one cannot 'line his pockets'". Already from just this solitary point of view I rate this fair as a success. I had a lot of fun, anyway, and to have been there really pushed on my motivation. :-)

In terms of this....
Petra Struck

Woa pictures
The first exhibiton day was gut visited and as could be read in the different announcements there were interesting presentations of hard- and software all over the place. As usual we'll supply you with comprehensive information about all details in our exhibition review.

You can get a first impression through our pictures. Besides the photos by Petra Struck under the title link Torsten Dudai has also captured his impressions.

Thomas Wenzel on ANF


New public beta of AmigaAmp
Just in time for the end of the WoA'2000 there's a new version of AmigaAmp. Originally Thomas Wenzel had planned to release the final version 2.8 these days. But there are two features he didn't want to psh back for later releases:

MAS-Player Support
The MAS-Player is an external MPEG-audio-decoder for the parallel port and can be used with EVERY Amiga. The support in AmigaAmp exists in the form of a new driver system developed by Paul Qureshi together with Dirk Conrad and Thomas Wenzel. With the combination AmigaAMP and MAS-Player it is possible to play MP3-files in full quality even on 68030 Amigas. Dirk himself offers a special highly optimised software which makes playback of MP3 even on a 68000. The MAS-Player is distributed by Eternity (Martin Wolf).

Shoutcast Streaming
Shoutcast is a protocol for live broadcastings of radio transmissions via the internet. >From the today released version on AmigaAMP doesn't need an external program for receiving such transmissions. The necessary protocol is directly integrated.

The two named features are still in development and don't run 100% stable. For a first impression it is enough though. The new version of AmigaAMP is downloadable from www.amigaamp.de.

Fun Time World


WOA: Eyetech - AmigaOne/AmigaDE-Roadmap
Together with the partners Escena (Martin Schueler) and Hyperion Software (further partners are Haage&Partner (68k-Emulation) and Michael Rock(PCI/AGP-Resource Libraries and other things)) the company Eyetech has presented their plans regarding their AmigaOne computer. Fun Time World has released diagrams of this presentation.

The AmigaOne 1200 from Eyetech is a PPC-PCI-system plus Amga hardware and 68k-emulation for use with Amiga Classic and AmigaDE software. The PPC system is based on the project Brainstormer by Escena.

Via the WestBridge of the system the A1200, IDE, 1 AGP- and 4 PCI-slots are connected. Via the NorthBridge the PPC-cpu, the SDRAM, USB and two more PCI-slots. The PPC can access the Amiga-system (custom chips, Chip RAM, Amiga I/O).

On starting the system the FlashROM is copied into the SDRAM, then the 68k-emulator respectively the AmigaDE is activated and the Amiga Classic' booted. The Amiga Classic software now runs on top of the 68k-emulation on the AmigaOne-board (PPC) and uses the Amiga specific hardware of the integrated A1200-board.

The emulation only emulates the command set of the 68k-cpu-line but no Amiga specific hardware like AGA which exists as real hardware. The emulation is memory intensive and therefore needs a fast memory access. For a step-by-step adaption of the software 'in-line'-PPC-code is supported.

The following planned schedule is given in the diagrams.

Amiga Classic
  • 12/2000: developer system
  • 01/2001: Classic OS-drivers
  • 01/2001: 680x0-emulator
  • 02/2001: system for betatesters
  • 1. quarter 2001: finished version of the AmigaOne A1200 for use as extended Amiga Classic (PPC, PCI/AGP-Slots)

AmigaDE
  • 07/2001: AmigaDE for end-users
  • 07/2001: AmigaDE graphics, drivers and so on
  • 08/2001: AmigaDE port for (every) AmigaOne possible
  • 1. quarter 2002: availability of ready-to-use applications especially for AmigaDE

Alfred Faust on ANF


Open source: Bars&Pipes Pro 2.0
Alfred Faust has released an email of Todor Fay, the former chief programmer of Blue Ribbon Soundworks Inc., on ANF that is dated 9. December 2000. In this email Todor Fay announces the release of the source code of Bars&Pipes Pro V2.0. Besides bugfixes this will make the continued development of the sequencer possible.

For now Fay is collecting together the source code. For this he needs help from one or more Amiga developers with an up and running Amiga developer environment.

«I think we can work towards a better solution:

I've gotten clearance to release the source code for Bars&Pipes to the Amiga community. This means several things:

1) Known bugs can be fixed.

2) Perhaps y'all can create special hooks for real time services (timer, midi in and out) in the Amiga code so it can connect more directly with the services in Windows. It's pretty amazing that timing works at all, given that it is running on an emulation of the audio interrupt (kudos to Brian King!). 'Course that would require changes to WinUAE to support this.

3) Port Bars&Pipes to Windows. If people want to collaborate on such a project, I will very gladly provide advice and assistance.

At this point, I'm collecting together the source code. I need to work with one or more developers who have Amiga dev environments up and running to help put this together. We need to make sure everything is there and compiles correctly.

Any volunteers?

Todor»

James Russell on Open Amiga-ML


AmigaDE: James Russell manages Mozilla porting
James Russell is the leader of the Mozilla-engine-porting for AmigaDE. Mozilla is the open source browser project emerged from the Netscape browser.

To begin with Russell has contacted mozdev.org about the possibility of hosting the necessary infrastructure (webspace, CVS, mailing list) for the project. It would then become accessible under mozamiga.mozdev.org.

Everybody who wants to help in porting, give constructive ideas or feedback may post on the Open Amiga-Mailingliste or address directly to James Russell. He is to find on the IRC-channels #mozamiga at irc.mozilla.org and #developer at irc.whiterose.net.

He suggests to interested people to have a look at the NSPR-Video on http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/brownbag.htmlfor now, which informs in a comprehensive way about the NSPR module. This module presents the biggest hurdle for the Mozilla-port for AmigaDE.

BoXer Board Status
On the Anti-Gravity page there is a press release dated November, 29th 2000 concerning the BoXer mainboard.

Current BoXeR prototype main-boards feature the emulated AGA chip-set on three single chips. The final revision will integrate the AGA into one single chip. The redesign has been completed and it is ready for build up. It is planned to make this board with one single AGA chip available for the AmigaActive magazine for testing purpose end of December.

The distributor network is growing. According to the latest survey there are currently more than 500 distributors of the BoXer.

Our employment survey also got great and worldwide response. Anit-Gravity is hoping to be able to contact everyone who replied to talk about possibilities to enable all of them to take part in developing this system.

Open Source Campaign planning to create a Counsil
The 'Campaign to Open Source the AmigaOS' campaign created by Steve Crietzman is making efforts to release the AmigaOS sources as open source. In recent times it has been quiet around this campaign. This was due to the fact that Crietzman had taken a longer break, because work had gotten to much to handle. Now he regrets to have been absent for so long without any explanation.

The current plan involves the creation of a transition plan for the Open Amiga Foundation. Therefore they are looking for participants. Persons interested in this initiative might contact OpenAmiga@aol.com.

CyberGFX


Mediator, G-Rex and P96
Several news have been released on the CyberGFX pages in the last few days.

In the channel #amiga(irc.whiterose.net), a collaborator of Hyperion, voiced positively about the design of the Mediator board. To keep costs low the people from Elbox only use one logic chip which is used as many times as required. This way they have managed among otheres to create their PCI bus without having to use expensive Glue- chipsets from third party companies.

«On #amiga (irc.whiterose.net) one of the guys from Hyperion was chatting about the design of the Mediator: "They've shown some really clever ways to keep their costs down in design, certainly.... All of their hardware consists of ONE logic chip which they use repeatedly, as many as necessary.", "They design all their own components, so no need to buy expensive external glue logic.", "Their PCI bus, for instance, is entirely their own implementation, no glue chip-sets from a 3rd party manufacturer.", "For instance there was a bug in the FastATA 4000 hardware, and they had to send out replacement chips to fix it. FPGA could just be reprogrammed.", FastATA 4000 is "EIDE controller for Z3. The ONLY one." "Umm it implements the fast ATA modes. like PIO-4, etc. So I get better performance out of IDE drives.", "Again, like all their other products, their IDE implementation is their own, using the same chip they use on all their products. :-) Pretty cool." "Well it also does PIO-5 but Z3 has trouble with it."»

The vendors.txt has been updated on November, 25th 2000 updated. 18 new boards have been added respectively updated. There have been no particular changes related to the Mediator itself.

Pictures about the G-Rex with 5 PCI slots, and about CyberGraphX running on a VooDoo4 4500 have been released..

About Picasso96 concerning Elbox there has been a new article released from the P96-Mailinglist.

NSDi on AmiTCP/IP licensing and Genesis rights
Press release:
NSDi PRESS RELEASE 2000/12/08 22:45 EET, 21:45 CET, 20:45 UTC

The Issue About AmiTCP/IP Licensing and GENESiS Publishing Rights:

Since the World of Amiga (WOA) show begins tomorrow, Saturday, December 9th 2000 and Haage&Parther is expected to start selling their AmigaOS 3.9 and NSDi and Haage&Partner is not yet in agreement of the licensing of the AmiTCP/IP software, NSDi is forced to publish this information:

Happened so far:

AmiTCP/IP was licensed to be part of Amiga GENESiS Networking System with a license fee of $5 per AmiTCP/IP Copy. No later licensing agreement has been done between NSDi (The AmiTCP/IP Copyright Holder) and any AmiTCP/IP licensee.

The latest moment any license payments for NSDi has been made January 1999, with amount of about EUR 4000. 1st quarter of year 2000 AmiTCP/IP source was provided for one of the GENESiS developer so he could add some missing features. At this time, however:
  1. NSDi or respective NSDi personnel has not given any immaterial property rights of AmiTCP/IP software away.
  2. No right for further redistribution of AmiTCP/IP source to anybody.
(both of these has been violated, either by incompetence to follow the copyright laws, or just unwillingity to obey it -- hopefully it is the first case)

At fall 2000, without any prior notice to NSDi, publishing rights of GENESiS has been transferred to Haage&Partner. I (Tomi Ollila) at NSDi was informed this when the press release about 4 weeks after this has happened, was sent to one of the vaporware mailinglists.

At that time, since such a radical change in GENESiS rights I asked our current licensee when our payments are due. I basically got an answer that there is no money since all has gone to publishing cost or lost when the company that made the CD:s went bankcrupty. That is an answer I could live with. I did not want our licensee to get into more trouble, as he had done so hard work with it. I just thought I then ask Haage&Partner that at a later time -- as publishing rights were transferred, all the licensing issues should have come with it. But, I also have an ordinary work -- with EUR 1000 one just cannot manage in modern western country very long -- I have been pretty busy working so I forgot to ask that just then.

Note that that does not lessen our immaterial property rights of the software of ours: It is responsibility of the people who are going to sell the software further the figure out under what copyright the sofware is bound of.

But, at the end of November 2000, I heard that Haage&Partner is going to include GENESiS in their forthcoming AmigaOS 3.9. The genesis package included AmiTCP/IP, and NSDi has had the previously mentioned licensing agreement effective with it. However, NSDi was never contacted of such an arrangement.

I was forced to take a quick action: I sent an e-mail to Haage&Partner explaining the situation using quite strong words just to get attention.

After a few e-mails sent back and forth, I was asked to make an offer with a fixed sum for unlimited use of the AmiTCP/IP software. I come first up with a market price of some TCP/IP stack I've heard, and that was EUR 15000. That was way too much what the Haage&Partner representative say they could handle. Since this was so close to the beginning of WOA and we don't have much time to negotiate (even it is not my fault that I did not know earlyer), I come up with much lesser price in my next e-mail...

I sent that email yesterday morning, about 11 EET (10 CET, 9 UTC), and I have got no answer to that e-mail up to now.

So, now we are in situation, where Haage&Partner does have publishing rights to GENESiS software, but has no license to sell the included AmiTCP/IP. It might be so, that Haage&Partner has been so busy that they have had no time to answer my latest proposition -- that I don't know. Anyway, If they start selling AmigaOS 3.9 with GENESiS and AmiTCP/IP included, they are selling unlicensed software.

At the time being, we are still willing to come with AmiTCP/IP licensing agreement with Haage&Partner and therefore we don't want to forbid sales of AmigaOS 3.9 at WOA -- mainly since there is so many Amiga users who don't want to wait any longer before getting the new Amiga Operating System. Also, taking such a drastic move don't help our efforts to come with a positive end result in discussion with Haage&Partner. However, my unfortunate duty is to declare unlawful to sell products that contains AmiTCP/IP without valid licensing agreement with NSDi on other sales channels.

At the time being, we continue licensing discussions with Haage&Partner to get the lisensing issue in order. We will keep the media informed of the progress of the discussion.

If you have any supportive comments, critisim to throw, or some more information what I should know, please send e-mail to the address shown below.

If there is doubt of the authenticity of this information, this text is also included in my homepage at

Specifications of the PowerPC mainboard
bplan GmbH releases the specification of the dual G3/G4 microATX mainboard with codename PEGASOS.

With its PEGASOS development pblan GmbH of Germany brings the unleashed PowerPC performance to the users.

By using a modular system design, the mainboard could be easily user upgraded to the individual demands. With todays standard interfaces already designed onto the PEGASOS mainboard, the users will be able to easily connect standard components (like harddrives or CD Roms) and a wide range of high-end devices such as digital video cameras to the system.

While PEGASOS itself is widely scaleable to the users needs, it's a easy task for retailers or OEMs to configure the system for their demands. By hitting the best price/performance point for the chosen configuration, systems starting with one CPU (at entry level) up to multi PPC G4 based cluster computers could be build using the same hardware.

For technical details follow the title link.

WoA 2000
I was shortly at the fair this morning to take some things there and to get a first impression. The Mediapark consists of several architectonically imposing buildings. The fair is held in the building Mediapark 7 (1st floor), while the seminars are held in the building Mediapark 6 (also 1st floor). The fair exhibitors are work like beavers on their booths and there's a bustle as in a beehive.

Supplement:
In a talk with Juergen Haage, I have learned that Fleecy Moss will attend the fair, too.

If you come by car, here a little tip:
A57 to Cologne-Centre, then follow "Innenstadt" until (very small) signs directing to the MediaPark appear. The entrance to the underground bypass is directly after the railway bridge. You drive from there either directly to the building or down into the underground car park MediaPark. At the "Cinedom", the entrance to the car park forks to the car park entrance and tunnel bypass. You can also park in the underground car park Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring. Have a good trip and until tomorrow :-).

More driving tips.
