New Article by John Chandler
After a longer break John Chandler at Suite101 wrote a new article titled
´This Is Reality Control´.
In his new column John Chandler deals with a new low-cost PPC computer.
This computer is about the
RealityStation by
Ideas2Reality.
This is a A500 like device at £300 with the following features:
- PowerPC (200 MHz)
- Graphic system (OpenGL compatible)
- 5 USB-Ports
- 2 Firewire-Ports
- 16 MB FlashROM
- DVD-Drive
- Optional harddrive
For operating systems QNX RTP and Linux will be utilized. But the
company also is interested in other operating systems and for this
hands over to third-party companies the system documentations.
More information can be taken form John Chandler's text under the
title link.

The ICQ User List has got a Forum, now
Since there are more and more registrations from people apparently not knowing
what ICQ is about, Markus Schmidt has set up a
forum which
hopefully will be used lively.
It is planned to create an ICQ-FAQ from the postings but at the time being
time and information to do that is missing. Thence all ICQ users (and such about to
become one) are asked to drop by time by time and use the forum.

Telepolis: Online Readers Are Less Informed
»- and Less Controllable by the Editorial Staff
An investigation on different behavior in reading of print and online issues
of the NYTimes complains about missing visual indicators and detention to
pure value of the new inside online media.
How does on read news? Contrary to a newspaper, which is bought as a whole and normally
you run over the pages in part at least, whereby you possibly occasionally recognize
something you originally maybe didn't want to read, you single out much more when you
read online. But this maybe also would mean that little by little your point of view
takes in more and more, even more by personalized offers.«

Amiga, Inc.: New Executive Update by Bill McEwen
February 06, 2001
Executive Update - St. Louis and Beyond
Greetings to the Amiga Family:
In Melbourne this last year, I was able to surprise many of you with several announcements that were unexpected, and we delivered on each of those.
Now we have a new show coming up in St. Louis. In a few weeks we will all learn...
Where is the AmigaOne? Will Cringley finally eat his words about a new Amiga? What about AmigaDE on PDA's, Set Top Boxes, Internet Appliances, or even desktops? Will Tom and Nicole stay together or is it over? Is there life for the AmigaOS after 3.9?
Contrary to the rumors and what many people are saying about our demise, or that we are going to have the same fate of the others before us, we have a big surprise for all of them.
I look forward to visiting with all of you in St. Louis, and I look forward to taking over the Hotel, and the surrounding area with the Amiga Spirit, and Community.
I hope to see many of you there.
There is still time, and in 6 weeks, it will all be known.
Bill McEwen, and the rest of the Amiga Team

Amiga Arena - Special Price Project!
In cooperation with Bernhard Lindner Amiga Arena makes possible a special price
for T.U.M.M.Y! which is a little specialized database managing a big base of cards
of the card-game collection Magic The Gathering (>6700 cards).
The program's particular fortitude are the extremely powerful search functions
allowing to search for any card by almost any criteria imaginable. Many
enhancements are planned for the future, but strongly depend on number of
registrations.
Amiga Arena - AmiAtlas Special Price Project!
Still until 28 February 2001 AmiAtlas is available for special price.
Andreas Regul did NOT stop development of AmiAtlas! (But he just cannot continue
development himself.) He still is looking for a programmer for further development.
Also hobby developers are addressed by this! If interested please mail to
olaf.koebnik@online-club.de.

SPIEGEL: Jenny E. of the New Economy
In the current issue of the SPIEGEL (German magazine), in the context of
an article about the shady scheming of the former hacker Kim "Kimble"
Schmitz, on page 128 the following sentence is written:
"Already as a teenager Schmitz realized that one can do much more than
just playing "Pac-Man" with an Amiga computer. Pretendedly he invaded
the secure systems of the NASA, Pentagon, and Citibank. Soon he got the
aura to be a computer genius. But this version is vehemently mistrusted inside
the hacker scene."
A very interesting article making clear that genius and (megalo)mania
are very close neighbours.

Desktop Replacement for Windows
The program "WorkbenchOnWin" (only 364kB) makes it easy to give every
Windows-Desktop the look'n feel of an Amiga-Workbench. The topical version is an
early alpha version and no emulation of an Amiga.
Download: wow.zip
I am very keen on the future versions. With some knowledge of the Windows
registry it is possible to completely replace the Windows-Desktop.

games entries are now subdivide to categories of name, genre, and - if possible -
size, download link, and URL. The demo entries now give also information whether
the demo runs on 68k, PPC or on both CPU's. Additionally the list has grown

Other Companies copy Amiga's and TAO's Ideas
Hendrik Mikael Kristensen
worte on ANN that on the pages of the Danish news service
SOL.dk his attention was called to the fact
that possibly other companies are desirous of copying Amiga's idea of the
"write once - run everywhere" philosophy, thus pushing Amiga out of the market even before
they get in there.
The article is talking about QualComm trying
to create a standard operating system called BREW[TM], Binary Runtime Environment,
to be used on cell phones. If you take away Wireless you (almost) have what
TAO Group is doing.
Due to QualComm's particulars this works with every device equipped with their DMA chipsets.
BREW[TM] sits between the chip system software and the application allowing programmers
to let their applications access the cell phone's functionality without having the
chip system source code or a relationship with a handset manufacturer.
QualComm want to electronically certify all BREW[TM] programs before they can run on
consumer products and ask a fee from every of those spreading such programs (cell phone
companies). Hendrik thinks this might be indicating how important this technology
will be for the future.
Read the complete article under the title link.

This morning we activated the first test of our unmoderated news posting!
This means ANYONE can post news directly to Boingworld
for immediate display on the main page! The usual top left icon of the newsitem
will though be an "Unmoderated Icon" and the news item will only be visible for
the people that have chosen to activate this in their prefs.
We (the editors) will of course delete or moderate the postings asap.

Interview with Patrick Roberts
Christoph Dietz has done an interview with the programmer of 'zAMilo', the HTTP server
which runs on test.amigadev.net:
Amiga-News: Hello Patrick, can you describe yourself?
Patrick Roberts: Age: 32, Born: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Profession: Digital Effects Supervisor. I'm currently freelance and start a film for Dreamworks in a few weeks.
Amiga-News: What is your background whith Amiga?
Patrick Roberts: I started in 1987 with a dorm-mate's A1000, then got my own A500 shortly after. As next came an A3000, and now the AmigaDE. Before Amiga, I had a C=64, Vic-20, and used to program on a PET at a local library.
Amiga-News: I can't find a program from you on Aminet. Don't you released programs for the "classic" Amiga?
Patrick Roberts: The only programs I released for the Classic were some Playstation utilities - but did so anonymously to avoid any problems with Sony. (wotizpsx, tmd2lwo, and psximgtls)
Amiga-News: When and why did you start development for AmigaDE?
Patrick Roberts: I think it was last August. Right after the SDK 1.0 was released for Linux.
Amiga-News: We can see one of your products running on test.amigadev.net. It's the webserver. Did you use an existing webserver to port to AmigaDE or is this a complete new httpd?
Patrick Roberts: "zAMilo" was written from scratch, but was inspired by a micro-http server released by Ericsson for their mobile phones. I wanted to create a very small HTTP server for the AmigaDE that could be used for configuring an embedded system with a web browser. I'd like to someday use a browser on my PC to serve my VCR, tell my coffee maker when to have a cup ready for me in the morning, etc...
Amiga-News: What does "zAMIlo" stand for?
Patrick Roberts: The Ericsson server is called 'zilo', so for proper respects I kept their name and added in the standard Amiga "AM".
Amiga-News: What is the roadmap for this product?
Patrick Roberts: As I get time I want to add basic CGI and SSI support. I'm not sure beyond that.
Amiga-News: Is this your only project for AmigaDE?
Patrick Roberts: No ;P And that's one of my problems... not enough time for all of them :) Here's a list of my projects that are available from the Amigadev.net FTP archive:
- Artix Nettext (toollib)
- Artix Systools (toollib)
- Etick (Graphical Ticker app)
- zAMilo (web server)
- forecast (world-wide weather reports)
- AmiFlag (Minesweeper type game)
- cnvtools (convert image and audio formats)
- Elate-Winease (GUI management C header library)
- memmon (Machine-languge monitor)
Here's what's in the works:
- Artix Gfxtools (toollib)
- vIcons (Vector based icon toollib)
- madplay (port of MP3 player)
Amiga-News: What do you miss most in the AmigaSDK?
Patrick Roberts: Hmmm...hard question to answer since I know it will eventually exist, but:
Hardware 3D graphics support
Good text editor like nedit
Amiga-News: Are you using the AmigaSDK for Linux or Windows?
Patrick Roberts: I have both versions for testing, but I mainly use the Linux SDK.
Amiga-News: Do you think that OS4.0 for the classic Amiga's is needed?
Patrick Roberts: I don't have a classic any more (I own one, but have loaned it to a friend). I'm mainly looking forward to AmigaDE commercial release, but it would be nice if Amiga would continue to support all the classic users.
Amiga-News: You know about the amiga community. How do you think about it?
Patrick Roberts: I'm always amazed with the knowledge level of the Amiga community. I really happy to be a part of a community with so many geniuses that I can learn from.
Amiga-News: Your "last words" to our readers?
Patrick Roberts: All of us can make it happen!

Amiga is Looking For Developers for PDA Applications
Gary Peake wrote:
Hello,
Several weeks ago, I promised you some exciting
announcements. As the first of those, I would like
to introduce Matt Fontenot, Amiga's Product
Manager.
Matt has been with us from the beginning and while
you may not have met him yet, he has been working
closely with many of our third party partners and
has been busy creating many new products, as you
will soon see.
Now for the announcement:
There is tremendous potential for distribution of
your applications, games and other content for one
of the world's largest manufacturers of PDA
hardware. The projection is for more than 7
million units to be sold by the end of 2001 and
there are already several million units on the
market at this time. There will be specific
requirements as far as style, type of
applications, distribution rights and
certification of content. Matt will have more
details on this in the near future.
If you are interested in developing PDA
applications and games for a specific manufacturer
who will use Amiga Inc. for content delivery,
please contact Matt as soon as possible. This is
a serious project for those with an interest in
providing content and we will open a new mailing
list for it - the particulars will be announced in
a few days.
This project is for both open source and
commercial content providers, so no matter what
your choice of development is, you are cordially
invited to apply. To get further details, though,
you must have a signed NDA on file with Amiga.
You can get an NDA form from
www.amigadev.net under the legal menu,
right hand menu bar.
Just fill it out and fax it to my attention at 425-396-5671. Then
send an e-mail to projects@amiga.com that says "I am
interested." You can also contact Gary at
gary@amiga.com or Matt at matt@amiga.com
Sincerely,
Gary Peake
Matt Fontenot
Suplement:
Amiga, Inc. asks you not to send the above mentioned e-mail to projects@amiga.com, but to add
your e-mail address at the bottom of this
original message and
then to send it in using the "I am interested!" button.

New NetBSD Amiga Drivers
Drivers for Individual Computer's "ISDN Surfer" and Zeus Development's "ISDN Link".
The NetBSD Amiga driver for the Siemens ISDN chip-set got support for two more cards for the Zorro-bus
added.
- Individual Computer "ISDN Surfer", id 4626/5
- Zeus Development "ISDN Link", id 2189/3
Up to now already supported:
- BSC ISDN Master 2092/64
- ITH ISDN Master II 5000/1
- VMC ISDN Blaster 5001/1
The interrupt level for the ISDN Surfer is software managed, other cards must be
switched to IPL 2 by jumper setting.
Closer information about the isdn4bsd configuration are to find inside of the included
electronic manual pages (man isdnd) and
here.
Those drivers as well as the entire ISDN sub-system are content of NetBSD-current,
the development part of NetBSD, and will occur in the NetBSD-1.6 release. External testers
are asked to run a release of the 1.5 part until 1.6 has been published; for 1.5 the last
released isdn4bsd-0.96_BETA is available as additional
package (but without drivers for ISDN Surfer or ISDN Link).

The 600th wins
Shortly we will have 600 entry's in our "Amiga Link Directory".
For us it is a pleasure and the reason to give away one copy of
the game "Simon the sorcerer II" to the person whomes website will make
the 600th entry.
Of course also for this reason our policy to become part of the ALD
will be the same as ever. It's not possible to get an entry if you're
simply having an Amiga at home. To make an entry in the ALD your website must
concentrate on the Amiga subject, (too). E.g. presentation of programs,
developments or your own Amiga computer.
Telling us about your website will not automatically qualify for an entry.
Until the winner was determined no new entered websites will be published
in the ALD to prevent somebody from waiting for #599.

Virtual Dimension 10th Anniversary!
Yesterday was a day to party for Virtual Dimension: their 10th anniversary!
To duly celebrate this you will happen to see several things from VD during the year.
At first there is the show-video from the World of Amiga in Cologne, which
unfortunately took some more time to be finished this year due to technical
problems - but meantime the time is right for VD to go to the studios for
speech sampling.
Congratulations to the Virtual Dimension team :-)

PicassoIV / ZorroIII Survey Project
- Who has got a ZorroIII Amiga A3000(T) or A4000(T) and a PicassoIV
graphics board and can use the PicassoIV only if it was
"forced" to ZorroII mode via jumper setting (Zorro auto detect off)?
- Who has got an A4000 with DMA capable SCSI card or an A4000T and
an elder PicassoIV with "bridge version $1" (see P4Info-Output),
running the PicassoIV trouble-less in ZorroIII mode (WITHOUT the ZorroII jumper set)?
Does one of the above apply to you? Then write to me! Contact address:
Albrecht Kinzkofer.
List as much details as possible about your Amiga hardware, even if it seems to be
unimportant:
Which model, when did you purchase it, which CPU board, which expansion boards,
which modifications done, which RAM equipment, "Buster revision, P4Info-Output, etc.
I have got such a ZorroIII problem and I'm working on a solution and looking
for "companions in trouble". If I was able to solve this problem
(assumedly by replacing two socket chips), I would try to help others concerned
(e.g. by centralized buying).
At the time being I'm doing some "basic research", hence write to me if one of
the above terms apply to you. Thank you very much. Albrecht Kinzkofer
