AmigaOne Board: Status Report by Martin Schueler
As promised on the BAS2001 (see First report) Martin Schueler has sent us a summary of the lecture about the AmigaOne board and technical details.

Status

The lecture mainly was similar to the one already lectured on the WoA, but of course contained updated information regarding the time schedule. Important about this is that the beta test will close middle of September, which at the same time will mark the starting shot for the first line.

Moreover the new revision of the AmigaONE boards - plugged into an Eyetech tower - was shown. One was able to tangible ("forcibly") convince oneself of how sophisticated and solid even the mechanical solution was done, and that it is by no means some unstable kind of tinkering solution. But we deliberately used a board only quipped with PCI/AGP sockets, to prevent our electrostatic sensible testing boards from any possible damage.

Following the status report from which I took the answers on respective questions, on the show:

During production the first revision formed short cuts on several points of which some were irreparable. It was not possible to obviate the latter during production without knowing the problem in advance.

For the new revision we had changed the respective points, but also several other points, in a way that reduced production requirements. Furthermore we corrected mechanical reference measurements, which prevented the first revision from being precisely assembled inside the casing.

Also the non-technical problems were fixed and the testings efficiently proceed on schedule since June 8th. It is especially joyful that all of the testings (contrary to common expectations due to complexity) succeeded on the first go, which was finally a result of their carful preparation, too.

All significant testings on board level are already finished. The following testing work is limited to verification of the logic within WestBridge and NorthBridge and it's interaction with the standard components.

This is to talk about ca. 10% of those testings are done. But virtually this means that already 50% of the problematic and time critical points are covered. Nevertheless those succeeded on the first go. So schedule risks are more and more decreasing. Furthermore 100% of the problematic points are functional of which malfunction would mean total outage, in worst case.

I also added three pictures:


picture_1.jpg
(640 x 480)

picture_2.jpg
(640 x 480)

picture_3.jpg
(640 x 480)


The first one shows the rev2 board (equipped with PCI/AGP only) as it was presented on the show in Rotterdam. But the other one shows one of the equipped rev2 boards as these were used for the testings. All of the testings succeeded on the first go using the board in the picture. Third picture: The slots in this picture are simply put on, cause I think it looks much nicer if it is fully equipped :-).

For the rest the board will be tested as stand-alone for a very long time. The connection to the A1200 will be done at the very end.

Chip online: Graphic Chips: New Details about Kyro III
»David Harold, Press-Relation Manager of Imagination Technologies, gave a sight on the upcoming Kyro III - developed by the code name of STG 5000 - to the German game magazines PC Action. ST Microelectronic will integrate a freely programmable vertex- and pixle-hader along with the also integrated T&L unit into this pixle accelerator. This chip, which is manufactured in 0.13 µ technology, thus addresses Microsoft's DirextX-8-API (application programming interface), as like Nvidia's GeForce3. «

Events: BAS 2001 - Report form the organizers
The Benelux Amiga Show 2001 has ended..., we tasted a lot of welding while organization, but it was worth it cause more than 400 visitor mean a brilliant result to us. Only as number 400 visitors are not much, but in case of an Amiga only show in the Netherlands this is an encouraging number. Amiga still exists!

A short report from our point of view:

Very early in the morning, at 8:00 am, we started to set up the show. With three overloaded cars full of hardware and software, posters, beamers, audio equipment, and somewhere in between all that even the drivers, we took the first stuff to the show. Bjorn Lynne was already there and had put up at table on the first floor.

At about 10:00 am a quite normal dancing school was converted to an Amiga building....

The first visitors contacted already at 9:00 am (with well dressed hair and gem chewing). One or the other way it was announced that the show would start already at 10:00 am. We would like to apologize for this misinformation and we hope that waiting was less hard, cause of the good weather.

This was our first time to organize such a show; hopefully this was not too clear to see.... Anyway, we learned some things to do it better next time (?). Nevertheless most of what we organized succeeded very well, as we think.

10:00 am: Petro Tyschtschenko arrives, as usual in a good temper, also after little sleep (he has sat with Juergen Haage until 4:00 am and has had a few beers too much).

10:30 am: The participants of the LAN party are let in and guided to the first floor. Very much people are waiting outside, now. Might it be that we unnecessarily were in doubt about enough visitors?

11:00 am: The show begins! There are plenty, plenty, PLENTY OF PEOPLE! A heavy burden is taken from us....

I won't talk about everything in detail, now. That was already done by other people (for which we say thank you). Just a few things which attracted us in especially.....

In our opinion the presentation of by Eyetech and Escena were a bit too technical and might have been done more attractive, some how. The slides could have been done more interesting than it was actually done. However the presentation gave a good sight of what is being done and why. After the presentation people had the opportunity to consult Alan Redhouse and Martin Schueler for more information.

Fleecy Moss impressed us. His jokes and his enthusiasm are really great. A good exponent of the Amiga Spirit. Unfortunately he could attend the show for a short time, only.

Bjorn Lynne presented his music and sold his CD's on the first floor. According to what he told us, he sold more CD's than he expected. He was very satisfied and did a lot autographs. But the Dutch beers were a little to small to him...., the British are used to something different.....

Did anybody notice that there was a not announced ´special guest´? Bill Buck of VIScorp. He talked to many of the Amiga VIP's. Could that be of any meaning? Who knows..... (http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/amiga/ar/ar407/feature6.HTML)

Mr. Does of Vesalia and his wife were on the show, too.

Matay showed a first class product; who missed it ..., what a pity, what a pity.

There was another premiere, too (more about this later on); the first game (Asteroids look-a-like) for the AmigaDE by an unknown SDK user (I could not find the name).

Some of the VIP's whispered some nice news to the print magazine 'AmigaScene', which we will publish in the next issue (in cooperation with amiga-news.de). For example there are good news regarding Amiga OS4.

One small anecdote: On his train journey to Rotterdam Fleecy really was in dire need of a toilet, but nobody informed him that he was floundering waiting in front of a strictly and all-the-time closed toilet for staffers only, for minutes.... Poor Fleecy.

There were visitors from Norway, Germany, Poland, Belgium, France, England, and Spain (20 hours by car....!).

An editor of a Dutch TV station talked to Petro, Juergen, Alan, Fleecy, and many of the visitors about the Amiga and it's cult status. She was very impressed and will - like already announced - do a broadcast about Amiga only, after summer. She will talk to even more Amiga personalities. It is planned to take more shots in Germany, the Netherlands, and the U.S.A..

People from a Dutch radio station were also on the show and on the following Saturday a special broadcast about the show and anything to see there will be put to air.

Petro acted as a fairy of fortune at 4:00 pm and drew the winners of the lottery in which any visitor could take part. He twice drew visitors from Germany but which unfortunately already had left the show. Those missed among other things an Amiga poster with Bill McEwen's autograph on it, a number of Amiga CD's, a music CD by Bjorn Lynne, and a VIP diner.

Between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm we closed the show. The show was followed by the VIP diner with 27 guests. These guests had the opportunity to talk to each other about the show and Amiga subjects, without ruffle or excitement in an easeful atmosphere. The VIP's were very excited about the multitude of visitors. This encourages them to go on developing.

About 11:00 pm it all was over. Petro and Juergen were picked with a long Mercedes and taken to the hotel, like super-stars. Then the rest of the people went home, too.

Still many pictures will follow by us - from the set-up to the after-party - and Juergen Haage promised to send us pictures from the secret VIP meeting at 11:00 am.

We would like to use this opportunity to heartily thank all of the visitors of the show. You really showed that the Amiga is alive and has good chances to return strong. We thank amiga-news.de for reporting; the way Petra Struck supported us really rules!

More information, pictures, and links to other reports can be found at amiga-news.de and of course on the BAS 2001 website.

A lot of greetings to the Amiga community
The organizers of the Benelux Amiga Show 2001

AmiSectorOne: New members, games, demos, and covers
Probably you remember my news posting of 12 June which was called "New staff members are required". Finally I have made my choice and here are the new team members (sorted by the time they joined):
  • Marcos Alves from Portugal
  • Keith Michaels from the USA
  • Tony Whent from Australia
  • Holger Herrmann from Germany
The new team members will be responsible for different parts here on AMI Sector One. Also I am just working with a kind contributor called Gustavo to improve our scripts. Some other projects are in preparation too... More about this in the next weeks. You can read some notes about the new members in the staff section.

Now the games update:
Patricia Curtis (formerly project manager and assistant programmer at Apache Software) as well as Mark Page (formerly programmer at Apache Software) allowed us to upload the Amiga game Super Methane Bros. (a game similar to Bubble Bobble, but with better graphics and sounds). You can download different versions of this game: There is a CD32-HD version (does not run on emulators) and an ADF version. Like so often I would like to stress that this game is NOT freeware. P. Curtis and M. Page are still the copyright owners and they granted a permission which is ONLY valid for this site.

Btw: I am looking for the game "Murder makes strange Deadfollows CDTV" by Tiger Media. Is there somebody of you who has it? Please get in contact with me (Bernd)...

And here are the high quality Public Domain games of this update:
  • Jouster 3 (the arcade classic Joust for the Amiga)
  • Kamakazi Killers (good Galaga game)
  • Rattlesnake (street fighting game)


New AGA demos are:
  • Repugnance
  • Roswell
  • Response
  • Tear down the Wall
  • Some Justice
Also a disk with the results of the Amega Party - Gfx Competiton was uploaded.

Here are some new cover- and box scans:
  • A320 Airbus (the game itself will soon be available here)
  • Big 6- Dizzy Collection CD32
  • Case of the Cautious Condor CDTV
  • Chinese Karate
  • Euro Soccer '88
  • Fallen Angel
  • Hard Drivin'
And here is a last minute update:

You can now download ALL 18 LSD Sprint Docs Disks (Sprint Docs provide cheats, solutions, freezer addresses etc). Of course every Sprint Disk has got its own HTML and screenshots. Thanks to the new member Marcos who made it possible. I hope you enjoyed this update. In the future the updates will be bigger since the staff has grown. Also you can expect more updates during the week. (sd)

From today the AmigaHelpGuid and AUL are pooled together. The list is available at http://www.8ung.at/ahg/ only, at this time.

Since I want to keep the Amiga-User-List up-to-date, I ask all of the users already registered to get in contact with me to update their data, if needed. More information are to take from the guide.

Supplement 24 June 2001: Due to great demand a Commodore demo is available for download on René Stelljes' homepage under the 'Sonstiges' link. (sd)

Virus Help: xvs.library V33.26
The xvs.library (External Virus Support Library) has been updated today.

Here is some info about the release:

Name : xvs.library v33.26
Archive name : xvslibrary.lha
Archive size : 55.988 bytes
Release date : 24 June 2001
Programmer : Jan Erik Olausen
Email : virusexecutor@c2i.net

News for 33.26:
  • Added Bobek2 Link virus
    Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files.
    Thanks to Zeeball for the memory removal routines.
  • Added Expl0de Trojan Link virus
  • Added Expl0de Trigger File virus
    Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files.
  • Renamed 8x8 Link to Motaba-3
Still to do:
  • Add a new link virus...
    This virus is brand new, so if you got this requester:
    "POWYÚSZA INFORMACJA MA NA CELU ZAZNAJOMIENE
    I OSTRZEÚEME CIË PRZED NIEZWYKLE
    NIEBEZPIECZNYM WIRUSEM!"
    "OSTRZEÚME"

    in english:
    "This information is just for telling you
    and warn you about extremely
    dangerous virus!"

    "WARNING!"

    you have been infected...
  • Add Neurotic Death 1 - 5. These five link viruses are polymorphic, but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files. It seems that they haven't been spread to the public, I received them anonymously from the author. So it's not that BIG danger at the moment.
  • Try to get and add GlobVec link virus. The only one who has it is Heiner Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :(

NARR-Site: New Voyager Theme and Update
Again I did a new fresh and sunny theme named 'SummerTheme' for the Amiga web-browser Voyager. The archive contains the usual buttons represented by exotic fruits and with matching background pic, this time. The images a are quite big, so higher screen resolutions are advised.

Screenshot Link - 328 kB
Download: summertheme.lha - 174 kB

Additionally I have completely reworked the NARR website. Most of all the Amiga section now is more clear sorted by categories, to make you more easily finding what you are looking for. There are new downloads, too, e.g. a small icons set, and catalogs. The admin section was enhanced, too: there are new screenshots of my cartoon anims, which are currently available for free, and the biggest animation (Hr. Apfel) now is available as MPEG version, also. Also new is the 'Personal Amiga' section. Have fun while rummaging. :)

Benelux Amiga Show: Report and Pictures by the AUC-HB
The Amiga User Club Bremen, AUC-HB, has send us an extended report and these nice pictures from the BAS 2001.

Report about the Benelux Amiga Show 2001 in Rotterdam, Netherlands

In the morning at 3:00 h four members from Nordenham, Leer, Langwedel, Bremen of the Amiga User Club Bremen met to travel to the show. After four hours of traveling by car we arrived in the Hammerstraat in northern Rotterdam.

We were hungry and wanted something to eat in a moment (Mc´D or some bakery). But unfortunately we had to realize, that hairdressers open their shops before the bread shops; not to talk about Mc´D, cause they open not before 9:00 am. After we finally found a baker, who pleased us with a marvelous breakfast, we went to the show which was supposed to begin on 10:00 am.

On 9:30 am Juergen Haage and Petry Tyschtschenko arrived by taxi. Since we know Mr. Haage and Petro in person we had a short talk. Mr. Haage and Petro then disappeared to join a meeting with Fleecy Moss, Alan Redhouse, and Ben Hermans.

On 11:00 am, one hour later than announced, the inlet started. The admission charge for visitors from outside was at the promised DM5. Our impression was that the organizers really took pain to build up the show. The show was arranged on two floors. There were enough seats and room for discussions.

At one booth we could have a look at an Amiga 4000D with the Prometheus PCI board by Matay, equipped with a Voodoo 3000 and running the game Heretic II. We were glowing by the display by this graphics board.

At the booth beside of this booth a PC with the AmigaSDK installed was running. We were impressed by this presentation, too. Moreover several Amigas from club-members were networked and a LAN party took place.

Petro opened the Amiga museum with a speech and then was helpful and councillor and his assistance was heavily enlisted; he handed out stickers and pins.

The show was attended very well and from 2:00 pm it was really filled, since the Scala presentation of the AmigaONE took place, done via screen by Alan Redhouse and Martin Schueler. They had a good projector and sound was well, so everyone could get it.

The strategy for AmigaONE and AmigaOS 4 to 5 was put across, but which was already known by us. During the break we had the opportunity to have a look at the AmigaONE board plugged into a V-Tower. We don't want to address the information we got from Martin Schueler, now. The board was shown working, but we can imagine it to able to be presented working, soon.

During the discussion with Fleecy Moss, Juergen Haage, Alan Redhouse, Ben Hermans, and Martin Schueler queries regarding the AmigaONE AND AmigaOS 4 - 5 could be done. This was richly done, and as we learned the organizer of the show is about to put those questions and answers online.

We took a lot of pictures on the show, but to edit all of them will take some time. We handed out to amiga-news.de a first selection. Our video specialist Ralf has done a video of the show for our members.

We met Mrs. and Mr. Does (Vesalia, German Amiga vendor) and Jens Schoenfeld (Individual Computer) and intensively talked. The show was a clear success to us not comparable with the last years' shows in Cologne and Neuss, since that was an Amiga only show. We felt to be part of a big community. From Mr. Haage we got the latest BoingBag for OS3.9 on a bank card sized CD. At 4:00 pm we went on our journey back home to Bremen.

Thanks to the organizers of the Benelux Amiga Show 2001 !!!

REBOL: REBOL/View V1.2.1
REBOL/View 1.2.1 has been released on June 22, 2001. It is recommended that you upgrade your copy of REBOL/View and View/Pro to this new version. Among other things has a security bug been fixed in this version. This release also introduces REBOL/View for the Macintosh. This is a significant accomplishment. The following has been changed compared with the previous version:
  • Bugfix: Icon DRAW evaluation bug that allowed foreign code to be executed at the desktop level. That problem has been eliminated. (Note that this bug did NOT compromise REBOL's built-in sandbox file protection, as that protection still remained in effect at the REBOL/View root directory level. Files outside of REBOL's directory tree were safe.) DRAW is no longer allowed within desktop icons.
  • Bugfix: The HTTP POST operation has been fixed to properly ignore line termination in the transfer. You no longer need to pad out your HTTP uploads. (This is for read/custom http://... [post "data"]).
  • Bugfix: Bugs that caused load/markup and debase to crash in rare cases have also been fixed.
The current version for different systems can be found in the download area of rebol.com. (sd)

Benelux Amiga Show: first report (update 3)
Otis from the Amiga User Club Bremen has just given us first details about the show by phone. First of all it has to be said that the dance school where the event is taking place is overcrowded as many, many visitors have come. For the promoters of the show in any case a big success.

The event is taking place on two floors with the exhibitors being downstairs and the LAN party happening upstairs.

During the call I had the opportunity to talk to Martin Schüler from ESCENA who's working on the design of the AmigaOne board by Eyetech. The AmigaOne board is presented as prototype in second revision. The board isn't working yet. For now they continue step by step and every step done until now has worked without any problems. He'll try to give us more technical information during the day via email.

Supplement:
I just had again the chance to talk to Thomas from the AUC-HB, who gave us more impressions via telephone about the show. Those will be posted here as short notes as there'll be a full report done by the AUCB following tomorrow:

Petro Tyschtschenko hold the opening speech.

Interesting was the presentation of the PCI board Prometheus by Matay on which a Voodoo3000 graphics board was running. A version of the game ´Heretic II´ running on this board was shown so everyone could convince himself of the board's quality.

Fleecy Moss of Amiga Inc. presented the SDK (Software Developer Kit) and was at disposal to answer questions. On this occasion the AmigaOS 5.0 planned for the year 2003 was mentioned.

On a Q&A round Fleecy Moss, Alan Redhouse, Martin Schüler and Jürgen Haage answered to the questions of the visitors.

Supplement 2:
At Fun Time World you find some photos of the show, and a comprehensive report will follow.

Supplement 3:
Here's the full report of Fun Time World. (ps)

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena special discount campaign
In co-operation with Andre Beer the Amiga Arena makes a special price for GeoWorld possible. GeoWorld is the only geography program for the Amiga that is still in development. Please visit for further information the GeoWorld homepage.

Amiga Arena - GeoWorld call
GeoWorld is one of the very few programs that stand out against the usual Amiga software. The developers have collected a huge amount of information and data to make GeoWorld as comprehensive as possible. Despite this such a program "lives" of its up-to-date data.

To make faster updates possible and offer furtheron an allround program the developers need your help. The following tasks are available:

  • Continuing the recollection of the nature data of the countries.
  • A co-operation on the information data of GeoWorld would therefore need an intellectual reception of the source texts made available (scanned encyclopedia pages, html/text files taken from the internet, partly in English) and put them into corresponding texts (e.g. description of a country's nature).
A free full version will of course be made available. Further fees - participation in sales returns - for appropriate extensive co-operation are possible but don't expect any wonders. People with interest may please mail to: Andre Beer.

Amiga Arena remark by Olaf Köbnik
Surely many of you wonder why this all? Sources for information are offered by the internet, and many programs for the PC do so, too. But I belong to the little number of Amiga users who are "Amiga only", and I personally think it is very valuable that such programs will be developed on the Amiga in the future. Additionally it is much more fun for me to use information sources on the Amiga. I can only ask you to support programs like AmiAtlas and Geoworld with feedback etc.! (ps)

Matay news
Warp3D Treiber for Voodoo3
Matay informs that the promised Warp3D drivers for Voodoo3 graphics cards on the PCI board Prometheus are in the works and has put some screenshots online.

PPC for Prometheus
As many people ask about CPU boards for the PCI board Prometheus, Matay gives the following statement:
  1. Matay is not going to produce the PPC card by itself. We will choose among the CPU solutions available at the market (not necessarily "Amiga native" only). It would take too much time and concern to produce such a card, time we can spend providing you with other Amiga-specifict products. Why to invent wheel again?
  2. The only problem to solve is software support to make the hardware cooperate with our PCI bridge. However, with the help of AmigaOS4 developers from Amiga Inc. it is not a problem at all. We will cooperate with them to make Prometheus+CPU card combo 100% compatible with the upcoming AmigaOS.
  3. We are not limiting our support to one CPU card only. You should view a CPU card expansion the same as - for example - a graphics card expansion. More than one solution is possible.
  4. The details will be announced after we finish talks with the CPU cards manufacturers. As we always state - no promises, only facts, so please be patient. In meanwhile, you can use Prometheus boards with the existing Amiga CPU cards. The software, i.e. AmigaOS4, will arrive later this year, so will our hardware to run it on.
Vacation time
Because of vacation time, the phone number +48 609394778 and the e-mail address fei@matay.pl won't be available from June 22nd to July 9th, 2001 and from July 21st to September 6th, 2001. Contact Matay during these times at +48 603785100 and info@matay.pl instead. (ps)

Amiga Arena news
Amiga Arena full version: Offensive COLOURS
With permission of Carsten Magerkurth and Andreas Magerl, Amiga Arena makes the release of Offensive COLOURS possible! Offensive COLOURS is the exciting synthesis of Tetris and breakout.

You steer a spaceship in the center of the screen; colored blocks grow out of the screen borders towards you. To stop them, you are armed with a colored disc with which you can shoot at the blocks.

Should the color of the disc match that of the shot block, your score increases and the block vanishes. If not, the disc will be thrown back to you and the colors of block and disc will be exchanged. The new color of the disc then maybe allows the elimination of another block.

If your disc hits a row of blocks that have the same color, the entire row vanishes. The first block scores the usual points, any further two times the usual points. The game ends when the blocks have reached you.

Amiga Arena download: Renegarde
With permission of Wayne Ashworth, the action game "Renegarde" is available for download. It is a freeware game. "Renegarde" is an "Alien Breed" clone for two players, fun and the inspired design speak for themselves. (ps)

CD32 Install Kit for Windows
As some emulation sites already posted this news, here's the official announcement for the Windows version of my CD32 Games Install Kit: It will work in connection with WinUAE and it will be available quite soon.

The compatibility is very high because every game uses custom patches (just like in the Amiga version). Additionally you won't have to install the game, you can run it right from the CD although in some cases some files have to be copied (which need to be patched). CD audio support is not supported yet but will be added for sure later. The first version of the CD32 Games Install Kit 4.5 (Win32 1.0) can be expected in one week. But currently it will be only available for owners of the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM. There are some screenshots of the Windows version available at the Airsoft Softwair homepage. (ps)

»With AmigaOS 4.0 and the computer AmigaOne PPC 1200, a myth will be brought back to life within the next weeks. This was announced by Bill McEwen, CEO of Amiga, on Thursday. The owner of the Amiga trademark warned in a press release of an abuse of the name of the once popular home computer. According to information from McEwen there's besides the American company headquarter only one more office in Braunschweig.«

Eight months ago, Amiga.org has changed the entire site to PHP-Nuke, an all-in-one portal package. The portal offers all required functions, including news, forums and comments.

AMIGA Inc.: News from CEO Bill McEwen (Executive Update)
Greetings To The Amiga Family:

There have been some recent mis-representations that I have recently received about Amiga, Inc., and our office locations. Amiga is doing very well, and we are excited about the future of Amiga. The Amiga Family continues to grow with new partners, new products, and the very near release of AmigaDE 1.0.

However with all of this activity there have been some out there who have recently sent out false information about Amiga, and I need to clarify this now.

Amiga Incorporated is headquartered in Snoqualmie, Washington USA.

Amiga Deutschland is still in business. We have only closed the Langen office. There are going to be some new additions, and a new office location announced in the next couple of weeks, but know now that Amiga International was a Gateway company, and was not and has not been associated with Amiga, Inc. since 1999. The dealer in Germany that is making claims that they are Amiga International is completely false, and Amiga Incorporated the parent company of Amiga Deutschland is going to take legal action against those who make these false claims.

There is another dealer in India who has started claiming that they are Amiga in India. This again is also false. Amiga does NOT have any official representation in India outside of the Amiga dealers who are there. Amiga Incorporated is currently evaluating an office in India, and other countries where we do business.

To those of you who continue to try and tear Amiga apart, it is time to stop. Amiga is moving forward, there are great things ahead, and for the first time in many years, the Amiga family will have new products, and choices.

I look forward to a great year.

Kindest regards,

Bill McEwen (ps)

de Volkskrant: "Tulip" reviving the Commodore brand?
It's been reported in a Dutch national newspaper that computer company Tulip intend to bring the Commodore brand back to life in some capacity. Tulip spokesman J. van den Berg claims the company is simply responding to customer calls for Commodore. Whether this means some real Commodore hardware is on its way or all it is is simply a line of PCs with the Commodore logo slapped on the outside is still unclear, but Dutch readers will no doubt find this article very interesting...!

File manager: Directory Opus 6 released
As already reported, yesterday, in the article File manager: DirOpus V4.15m Beta the PC version Directory Opus 6 was released at GP Software. While rummaging in the Aminet uploads I stumbled upon the following text inside the DOpus6 readme file (title link):

"ALL REGISTERED USERS OF DIRECTORY OPUS 5 FOR THE AMIGA ARE ENTITLED TO A 25% CROSSGRADE DISCOUNT ON THE PURCHASE PRICE."

This is interesting for Amiga users using a PC, too, and not wanting to miss their favourite file manager. The 30-days-PC-test-version is available e.g. here (DOpusInstall.exe). (ps)

Golem: Transmeta sales decreasing drastically
»Orders from Japan decreasing
The still fresh processor developer Transmeta now also warns of intelligibly lower sales in 2Q01. For a reason they mention the bad economical situation which now spreads to Japan, too - Japan is Transmeta's biggest market place.

Though additional manufacturers to produce their own chips could have been gained, orders from Japanese Notebook manufacturers are significant low. Therefore Transmeta adjust their sales expectancy to 40% - 45% below sales in 1Q01 (18.6 millions USD).«

Asyncio.library (68k+WarpOS) update
There's a new update for the asyncio.library with WarpOS support (V40.6). Sadly the last version had the same problems in PPC writing mode than before. This update fixes these problems so that there shouldn't be any more lock-ups on writing with PPC.

If there shouldn't be any problems with it, this will be the last version since there'll be no more optimizations by me that could make the library more efficient.
