H&P website with new layout
H&P writes:
From today on the new newssite is online. After some experiments with colours and the formation of the head-, bottom- and news area the current layout has been created. As the dominating colour you will find a dark red with white characters - based on the traditional Amiga-colours. On the right border the information column has been placed again. There are messages which besides the current news in the middle will have a staying importance. Up to now only the newssite has been renewed but the rest will follow little by little.
The startpage of our Internet performance
www.haage-partner.de or
www.haage-partner.com
has been also refreshed thus you can access on the current topics in a better way.

Event: No more Amiga-shows in St. Louis
Since 1994 Bob and Diana Scharp have organized a great Amigashow in St. Louis and have spent much of their spare time for it. Now they decided to adopt a child which of course will have supreme priority and which lead to the decision of organizing no more shows. Now please read the complete article:
P.O. Box 672
Bridgeton, MO 63044
http://www.amiga-stl.com
bscharp@icon-stl.net
Fellow Amigans,
Over the years, Amigan-St. Louis, (Bob & Diana Scharp), have
brought you many years of Amiga fun and edification. Namely
the Amiga shows we hosted in St. Louis, MO. U.S.A. Since
early 1994, we have been involved with providing the Amiga
community with some of the best Amiga shows ever put on.
Eventually we formed our own company, Amigan-St. Louis, to
run these shows as they got too big to handle with just
volunteers.
We have had many famous people and groups attend, exhibit,
and showcase their products at our events. Some notable
guests include a few Astronauts - Steve Nagel and Linda Godwin,
a singing and dancing group - ANNEX, some celebrities - all of
the various Amiga owners, presidents, staff. Notables such
as Petro Tyschtschenko, Mitch Stone of Boycott Micro$oft,
radio host Jim Singler, plus too many famous Amigans to
mention.
We have not only hosted shows, but held banquets that have
become famous by themselves. Who would ever forget the
reintroduction of Amiga with Gateway, or even better with
Bill McEwen. Then there was the ROAST of Petro Tyschtschenko.
We celebrated Petro's many years of service to the Amiga
community and his retirement the day of the banquet at our
show Amiga2001. That will live in our hearts for many years.
Unfortunately, we cannot continue the shows for now. There
will be no Amiga 2002© show, sponsored by us. The good news,
is the reason why.
Diana and I are adopting a child. Our lives will be even
busier than usual this year and next, so we will have to
pass the torch, at least for awhile, to others. Although
we are not ruling out the possibility of a future show
sponsored by us, we just can't possibly do any for now.
We hope you will understand. We hope you will keep the
Amiga in your hearts. Hey, we hope to see some of you at
other shows and events. Maybe we will be able to bring
our newest Amigan with us.
So for now, we bid farewell to the show side of our
business, but please consider purchasing some of our latest
products from our company.
"Petro ROAST tape"*.................... only $ 15 + $ 5 s&h
"Amiga Antenna balls".................. only $ 3 + $ 1 s&h
"Amiga Coffee Mug (no.2)............... only $ 12 + $ 5 s&h
"Other Bounce-back video tapes......... see web site
* Petro ROAST tape will be available in a few weeks.
For other products, see our web page.
Mail your orders to:
Amigan-St. Louis
PO Box 672
Bridgeton, MO 63044
Please make checks payable to Amigan-St. Louis, in U.S. funds.
Postal Money orders are also accepted. No credit cards or
pay pal.
You can also visit our web site for details, at:
http://www.amiga-stl.com
As a final note on Amiga shows in the U.S., I understand that
Kermit Woodall of Nova Design is putting one together for the
east coast. It is supposed to be held the last weekend of March 2002.
For information, keep an eye on amiga.org and other news sites.
It has been a great pleasure working with many of you, and
showcasing the Amiga and it's capabilities. I wish all of you
great success, and we hope to see you all again.
Best Regards,
Bob & Diana Scharp (ps) (Translation: dr)

Tool: Identify-Update with AmigaXL-Support
The Identify-package is now available in version 13.0. New is the AmigaXL support.
The library does not only convert Guru- and Zorroboard IDs into a readable format, it
also displays several data about the used system. Added tools like ListExp are very
useful to create bugreports. Identify can be used by Assembler, C, Basic, Pascal, E,
and ARexx and from the Installer.

Tool: MySQL Simple Query Tool MySQT_0.1a
MySQL Simple Query Tool is an utility that will let you to do queries to
a MySQL database with an MUI Gui. MySQT is actually an early alpha version.
That means, it has been programmed like some Kro$oft software and will
only let you to do "SELECT" queries on small tables. Yes, I have not
implemented dynamical memory allocation yet, but this will come.
Before starting MySQT don't forget to edit icon tooltypes to fit your
database access.

Alpha version 0.1a of the MySQL GUI (MUI) 'MySQT' was released. The 'MySQL Simple Query Tool'
in this early alpha version offers the possibility to make SELECT requests from smaller

Hello people!
Since there just was advertising for #diehard, I would like to show
an alternative:
At irc.openproject.org there is a young channel (#amiga) that is said to be
about Ami-OpenSource (AmigaDE). For the time being there isn't much up. Some don't
have an Amiga anymore, some are Amiga Inc. employees, some develop similar projects
coming from the Amiga world, some are active for the current Amiga scene or are people like
you and me.
So, who feels like dropping in is heartily invented.

Eyetech: Information about the AmigaOne
Alan Redhouse, Eyetech, posted some
statements
about the AmigaOne regarding AmigaOS 4.0 and the boot sequence on the
AmigaOne mailing list.
«1. OS4.0 is based on OS3.9 which does need 3.1 ROMs
2. Backwards engineering/testing for OS3.0 compatibility would
add weeks onto the already late OS4.0
3. Of course some of this stuff can be put in flashrom/hard disk but
this would require a hugh effort in retesting/linking bits of code from
various sources adding further to the cost/delay of OS4.0.
4. As I have said several times before on this list the boot sequence
for the A1/OS4.0 is:
PPC boots from flash ROM & initialises A1 main board, including
any A1 graphics and any available A1 board boot devices (HD,
CDROM, SCSI, USB, etc. drivers) PPC loads 68K emulator from flash rom and
executes an emulator reset Emulator executes A1200 boot sequence which
looks round for boot devices (A1200 HD, FD, PCMCIA & A1 HD, CDROM, SCSI,
USB etc) Emulator boots OS4.0 from the highest priority boot device.
5. From OS4.2 the bootstrap loader (& main drivers) will be in the
A1 flash ROM and the 68k emulator will only look on the A1 board for
boot devices (inc USB floppies, CDROM's etc etc)
Hope this helps
Alan" - Eyetech»

A real Amiga IRC channel for real Amiga users
Amiga Users!
- Tired of going to channels on net after net searching for
some real amiga users who use real AMIGAs?
- Tired of being in channels where there seems to be an
ongoing linux or windows chat?
- Tired of being ragged on by clone owners who think your
silly to be on amiga still?
- Feel like trying a channel where amiga is the only topic
and there is talk about everything from amiga hardware to
software?
- Does the thought of an amiga emulator bother you?
- There is such a place, it's called #DIEHARD and its on
arcnet! Feel free to stop in,and be sure your using your
amiga!
If you answer yes to the above questions, then maybe this is
the channel for you. It was created by amiga users for amiga
users who were tired of emulator, windows and linux being
talked about in so called amiga channels.
Below are some popular servers to get there:
de.arcnet.vapor.com
ch.arcnet.vapor.com
se.arcnet.vapor.com
uk.arcnet.vapor.com
us.arcnet.vapor.com

Kultpower.de - server move and new AmigaJoker reviews
Kultpower.de is now placed on a much bigger server (resp. in
a bigger package at the provider), this should solve the problems with shortage
of webspace and restricted data transfer for a longer period of time.
Therefore can all review articles, that will be released from now on,
be made available in better quality (less compression).
There are also at once 22 new AmigaJoker reviews taken from the issues

Knights of the Sky, Life and Death, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, Magic
Pockets, Manchester United Europe, Mega lo Mania, R-Type 2, Silent
Service 2, The Return of Medusa, Thunderhawk, Utopia. With these there are now
already 79 AmigaJoker reviews of Amiga classics.
Besides that you can now find in the AmigaJoker database for every game a direct
link to the details of the game at the games museum "The Legacy".
For all fans of non Amiga classics there are new PowerPlay reviews taken from
the issues 11/94 and 1/95:
Colonization (MS-DOS), CreatureShock (MS-DOS CD-ROM), DawnPatrol
(MS-DOS CD-ROM), Earthsiege (MS-DOS), Ecstatica (MS-DOS), HellonEarth
(MS-DOS), IronAssault (MS-DOS CD-ROM), KingsQuest7 (Windows CD-ROM),
Lemmings3 (MS-DOS), Lollypop (MS-DOS), MasterofMagic (MS-DOS), PoliceQuest4

Music: ProStationAudio Millenium
September 2001: ProStationAudio Millenium, T8 and Remix compatible
with SoundBlaster PCI boards.
ProStationAudio is successfully working with Creative's SoundBlaster PCI
boards installed on Mediator busboards, under AmigaOS.
The software has just passed tests at an audio production
facility, under daily working conditions. The test setup
includes a Mediator PCI busboard, SoundBlaster 128 PCI, and
VooDoo graphic card for displaying the ultra-hi-res PSA GUI.
Mediator 1200 PCI busboard
Audio hardware is accessed via AHI, drivers for additional
Creative's models are due soon (SoundBlaster Live! to start
with) by the busboard makers.
Elbox, makers of Mediator, confirm also that the PCI busboard
supports installing two PCI graphic cards. ProStationAudio
can take advantage of two display cards (and two monitors)
for increased productivity. This feature, already supported
for Zorro graphic cards, is now available also for PCI
boards.
ProStationAudio is the reference audio editing/mastering
software for AmigaOS. With this new developemnt on PCI
hardware the range of supported hardware now includes:
- Draco
- Amiga with one or two CPU, up to two graphic cards, two
monitors and any AHI-compatible audio card or stock audio
chip. Graphic and audio cards can be on Zorro or PCI busses.
ProStationAudio supports also non-AHI pro cards such as the
SoundStagePro DSP and provides direct access to NewTek Flyer,
Sunrize Studio16 and Digidesign SD audio files, beside standard
Amiga, Apple, Windows and Unix audio files includig MP3.
Informations on other PCI busboard options, such as the G-Rex
specific for PPC accelerators owners, will be published as
soon as audio drivers will be released by hardware makers.
ProStationAudio is fully hardware independent and will work
with any audio board, PCI or Zorro, provided AHI drivers are
available from hardware vendors.

CD32 Games Install Kit v4.5 released
The CD32 Games Install Kit v4.5 was just released on
the Airsoft Softwair homepage (title link).
This is the first public version of the program since
version 3.9. Until now, versions 4.0 to 4.5 were only
available for owners of the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair
Gold Edition but now the InstallKit is available as
Shareware again. The demo version can be downloaded from
the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
Since version 3.9 many things have been changed:
For example there is now a MUI GUI, the stability of Install2001
was increased and much more games are supported now, for
example Simon the Sorcerer with talkie soundtrack. Also
the integrated emulator which runs games straight from
the CD was greatly improved. Additionally the InstallKit
can now be ordered by credit card through RegNet. And finally
there is now an own section on the Airsoft Softwair homepage
which covers information about the program (in the products section).

Spiegel: Q33NY
Like probably many others I have just received a private mail which
points out something truly macabre: if you open a new document in Microsoft
Word, enter the alleged flight number of one of the machines which were
steered into the World Trade Center, Q33NY, and set font 'Windings'
in size 48, something incredible could be seen. I have made some investigation
on the web and found an interesting German article by 'Spiegel online'
which you can read at the title link. The flight number Q33NY is wrong,
and it is no hidden message but black demagogy.
