 AmigaZone
Steven Kile did send us this advertising for AmigaZone.
I posted this a few days before, but forgot to upload the ad. Sorry.

Greetings Fellow Amiga Users,

I just wanted to let all of you know about an Amiga Web-based bulletin board, The AmigaZone. The AmigaZone is a fully menued online service you can use with any terminal program or Telnet client, and it also has a fast and slick web interface you can use with your web browser!

The Zone has dozens of message bases, over 40,000 downloadable files, an Amiga Usenet newsfeed, Amiga Fidonet echoes feed, "QWK" mail and news downloading, CD ROMs online, fourteen Amiga mailing lists that feed right into our message bases so you don't have to clog up your mailbox with them, an online gif/jpg library image thumbnail generator, live chat rooms, a members' private FTP site and POP3 mail server, and more features than any Amiga-specific service you've ever seen. Yes, it's a multi- interface, easy to use, fully Amiga-dedicated online service and we'd love to have YOU as a member!

I particularly like, the free email account (YourAccountName@amigazone.com). I am an Amiga user and proud of it. This lets everyone know.

The downloadable files are not duplicates of Aminet. These files are found all over the web and deposited her for our convenience. I don't have time to scour the web for the files I need and this is an excellent resource.

AmigaZone members can participate in nightly Telnet chats. These chats are a good way to make friends with other dedicated Amiga users and get their valuable help when we need it. The Sunday chats include prize giveaways (for more info see www.amigazone.com/pages/contests.html#prizes). This is probably the best odds you will ever find. On average, 10 or less people make it to the Sunday chats and Harv is very generous with his prizes. I am not talking about cheap prizes, I have won a factory sealed OpalVision board, and several texture CDs, and books.

When you join AmigaZone as a paid member, you will be sent a FREE official AmigaZone Logo black mesh baseball cap as our thank-you gift! No strings. No baloney! Click to see a picture of the cap www.amigazone.com/images/cap.jpg. The cap is all black, universal-fit and the AmigaZone logo is in white with the Boing! ball that dots the "i" in its traditional red and white checks. Upon notification of your signup, you'll get an email with your login info and your free AmigaZone cap will be mailed to you! These hats are beautiful. I signed on after they started this program, so I had to buy mine. But even then, members often buy these items at cost.

To join, use our secure signup page (merchant.calweb.com/amigazone.com/pages/signup.html), or phone CalWeb at 1-800-509-9322 or 1-916-641-9320, and say "AmigaZone Sent Me!" and the $20 signup fee is waived!

All this and it only costs $12.95 per month. We all need to help keep Amiga resources available. Without our help, we will all be left to our own devices to keep our machines running.

Thanks, Steve. (Translation: mb)

AWD [News]


 Amiga Web Directory closing down
On January 1st, the multi-award-winning Amiga Web Directory, which has gone online in May 1994 as a free service of Champaign-Urbana Computer Users Group and AdvanceNet, has closed and thanks all members, friends and supporters.

amiga-news.de owes much to the Amiga Web Directory. Basically, this news service was created from the idea of offering something like the AWD for the German language. AWD has been by inspiration in many things. I think it is sad that they close now, since news around the Amiga will not subside so quickly, especially after the Amino purchase. Therefore I hope the people behind the AWD will think this over. (ps) (Translation: mb)

 Heise: Gateway sells Amiga
"The legendary multimedia computer Amiga has a new owner, again. Computer manufacturer Gateway sells the rights on the name and all still existing hardware to the company Amino Development. Additionally, Amino gets the rights on all Internet domains around the Amiga, and currently held by Gateway. How much Gateway recieves for the package has so far not been disclosed by the two companies.
The followers of the Amiga, which enjoys cult status among its fans, have gone through a rollercoaster of emotions in the years gone by: hope-filled announcements of a revival of the hardware platform have again and again been followed by cancellations." (Translation: mb)

Volker Mohr


 Who has bought Amiga?
Volker Mohr has done this summary for us:
Everybody has heard it: Amino Development has purchased the rights on the name Amiga, the Internet domain, and most important, on the Amiga technology developed in the time before Gateway. Not purchased were the rights on the new multimedia environment, so far been called "AmigaObjects", and the so-called Amiga MCC. These products, developed during the Gateway era, will be integrated into the Gateway product line without the name Amiga in the future.

With other words: What we user would call Amiga does now belong to Amino.

But who is Amino? Basically, Amino consists of two persons: Fleecy Moss and Bill McEwen. If you had an eye on Amiga Inc. and Gateway in the last few years, these names will sound familiar to you.

Bill McEwen was employed at Amiga, Inc. as "Head of Marketing and Software Evangelism". He left the company only days before Jim Collas, not all that voluntary himself. Before Bill worked at Amiga, Inc., he already was employed by several other well-known computer companies, but had nothing to do with Amiga. Despite this, he was immediately impressed by the capabilities of the (original) Amiga, and very quickly became a convinced member of the Amiga community and a supporter of the (by Jeff Schindler) so-called "Amiga Classics". Of course he did not lose the feeling for the need of new hard- and software developments. So, he was also a supporter of Collas' plans for the so-called AmigaMCC.

Bill McEwen had to leave Amiga, Inc. a few days before Jim Collas. While Collas was said to have left the company "for personal reasons", Bill never hid that his contract was not extended. While Bill is no long-standing Amiga fan, he did not only learn to understand and value the Amiga and his users, but also was able to win the trust of old Amiga gurus like Dave Haynie and Carl Sassenrath.

Fleecy Moss is also known to most from his time at Amiga, Inc. Little is known about his time before that. In an interview with the magazine CU Amiga (which has been closed down in the meantime), October issue 1998, page 30f., he tells a little bit about himself: "I am British, and currently work in the USA. I am Project Manager and System Architect, responsible for introducing new special computer systems. I am Amiga user for 8 years (translator's note: with the interview being dated 1998), and started with a Commodore Pet and VC 20 at the age of 11. What I hope to give the Amiga is respect for his philosophy and community ideals, as well as a good feeling for the future and the digital information revolution." (translator's note: The above has been re-translated and might differ slightly from the original, to which I don't have access.)

After Joe Torre, Fleecy Moss was the second important person at Amiga, Inc. whose contract was not extended. After his departure, Fleecy initiated the KOSH project. KOSH is intended to be "the hardware equivalent to Linux", a computer platform honoring user wishes and needs, developed as open source. Fleecy knows of course that such a goal cannot be achieved in short terms. When Gateway canceled the AmigaMCC plans, Joe Torre initiated Amino together with Bill McEwen. (translator's note: probably this should read Fleecy Moss and Bill McEwen, not Joe Torre!?) There have been little information about this company. The first impression on the public was made by the close connection with Phoenix, a connection of several Amiga distributors and developers with the goal of creating a new platform as an alternative to the Amiga. This common platform was originally intended to be based on PPC systems with QNX as operating system. Both was not a final decission when Phoenix / Amino was founded, but a basis of discussion for common plans.

So what does the purchase of Amiga by Amino mean? It is clear that the freshly founded two-man company does not have the funds to continue AmigaOS development and have new hardware build in short terms. But that is not required necessarily. To get an impression what can be expected, I recommend having a close look at the Phoenix pages. The basic difference will probably be that now there will be no development of an Amiga alternative, but a further development of the Amiga platform. This means, roughly, that Amiga/Amino will lead the path, but several other companies will build new Amigas, too. This would bring the Amiga area a similar situation as in the PC area, where many companies can honor many special wishes of users. This path of action has several advantages: The necessary investments are distributed among several companies. Additionally, this gives added security to the user, since a possible bancruptcy of a single company would not endanger the whole market. This way, the Amiga as a platform will be of interest again for new users.

If the future systems will run on a modern AmigaOS, QNX or whatever, or if the new systems will be based on PPC, that's speculation. It's a fact, however, that there has been work on the future before the purchase, too, so things don't start from zero. Especially how new users are to be drawn has to be speculated about. For sure there has been thought put in this area, too.

I am convinced that many surprises are to be expected soon. (Translation: mb)

 We still don't have a press release directly from Amino, but as the
following information is now available generally on the wire, we owe
it to our readers to get it to you as quickly as possible. If we do
get a press release from Amino/Amiga we'll also get that to you right

 Looks to us like both Gateway and the Amiga Community win with this
deal.
 Big smiles around here today!

Amino Development Buys Amiga Name, Inventory From Gateway

 SAN DIEGO, Dec. 31 -- Amino Development Corp., a privately held
company based in Maple Valley, Washington, has purchased from Gateway
its Amiga trademarks and Amiga computer systems. Terms of the
transaction have not been disclosed.

 According to Peter Ashkin, Gateway senior vice president, Gateway
chose to sell the name after deciding to fold Amiga's software
engineering function into Gateway's product development. This merger
of development activities is part of Gateway's overall strategy to
develop and market the coming generation of "Internet appliances".

 "Amiga, as a personal computer brand, has a loyal following of fans
around the world," Ashkin said. "Under Gateway's wing, Amiga morphed
into a software development company working on a new Internet
appliance operating environment software. Now that we're bringing that
development work into Gateway product development, it made sense to
find a buyer for Amiga."

 "Yee-haw " said Bill McEwen, president and CEO of Amino. "This is a
very exciting day, and now an even more exciting tomorrow. Now we can
finish the job that was started 15 years ago."

 The transaction, effective immediately, includes the transfer of all
Internet domain names related to Amiga which Gateway had held. Gateway
retains ownership of all patents acquired when it bought Amiga in
1997.

Bill McEwen speaks at Amiga.org:
Happy New Year to all Amigans around the world.
Today Gateway announced that we have acquired Amiga. This is all true, and we are going to be making numerous announcements in the next week about the plans for the future systems, and it is all going to be very exciting. There is a very bright future for us, and now we can begin the journey. Welcome 2000! - Bill McEwen

I now recommend one thing: go back and have a look at the last two caricatures by Torsten Dudai (Once upon a time...). Either all these heads agree on a common goal, and cooperate; or this Hydra will be going nowhere. If I see things correctly, there are two heads considerably stronger than the rest - QNX and Amino. If THEY agree on things, the next few days will tell. But the people behind PowerOS, MorphOS, Screens, and AROS should have a close look at what is going on, and think twice about how they can serve the cause best. (mb) (Translation: mb)

 Report from the Chaos Communication Congress
"The 16th Chaos Communication Congress divided the hacker community into two fractions more than ever before - one wanting to do a life style party, and the other wanting to stress political discussions and seminars. Harsh criticism and euphoric words were balanced in the final discussion on Wednesday after three days "fun at the system". Chasms were across "Windowsing", "generalism" and "game-centricism" of the hacker meeting. Does the Chaos Computer Club open itself to the mainstream in a time when Internet is becoming the masses media, and is the meeting degrading to just another LAN party?"

Of course I also asked Axel about news on the joeCARD, and he promised to tell us news immediately :-). (ps)

 Two articles that get under your skin
Subject on the Chaos Communication Congress: Tron (again)
This year, too, Tron's ghost is spooking the halls of the Haus am Kölnischen Park in Berlin, where the Chaos Communication Congress closes today. The cause of death of the star hacker is no longer in doubt after two autopsies. The suicide theory of police and prosecutors is criticised by the CCC, Tron's parents and their attorney even more than before, however. "It could not have happened without outer force", Chaos spokesman Andy Müller-Maghun brings the murder theory to the point after detailed studies of the autopsy report and prosecutor files. Police research has been focused only on the suicide theory from the very beginning, Müller-Maghun criticises. Other hints have been ignored on purpose.

GPS under your skin
According to plans of US manufacturer Applied Digital Solutions (ADS), online shoppers will carry their customer card under their skin in the future. The Florida company has now filed a patent for a maintenance free implant, which is (among others) able to recieve and send GPS signals. The transciever can be implanted in the human body with little effort, says the company in an ad, provided with power by muscle movements. (ps)

 Connectline v5.2.beta2
Joerg Deckert writes:
This is an update for version 5.1 of Connectline. All components are in there, but there was not enough time for a completely new version, since there was a Y2K bug to fix and the new year is near. For a full version an updated documentation and complete tests are missing.

New:
  • Now Freeware (no keyfile needed)!
  • removal of (hopefully) all Y2K bugs.
  • completely new Fido part, fully node-/hub enabled
  • files are now stored in the filebase carrying their original names.
  • mailinglist server for all networks.
  • PPP-Login.
  • Netcalls over preconfigured providers, depending on time.
  • switching some parts of the program to the NList MUI custom class.

Features:
  • multi-net support: ZConnect/RFC/Z3.8/Fido incl. gating
  • multi-port support. Nine ports. Up to eight ports freely configurable. ISDN, modem, network, local, etc. + one sysop port
  • interactive control of the box, by WWW (with PD WEB Server), by AmigaGuide or by ANSI choice
  • clever Cron system. Events can happen, programs be started on any time, by month, weekday, day, hours and minutes
  • uses MUI, therefore fontsensitive and freely configurable outfit
  • interface to internet (remote telnet login, (C)SLIP/PPP user login)
  • configurable routing, by sender and/or reciever. Domain server configurable for multiple domains.
  • Developer Pack for C and ARexx available
  • very low memory usage with many ports due to clever server-/client-management
  • fully optimized for Amiga multitasking, therefore very low ressource usage
  • own locale system for language adjustments by domain, and if wanted online for system texts, error message, and commands
  • output of all commands and system messages freely configurable
  • online interface is a standard 100% shell, and all online commandos are AmigaOS commands
  • whole drives can be mirrored as boards, like including CD-Roms
  • user passwords are stored encrypted. Access rights are granted by groups and levels
  • big ARexx port with unlimited possibilities for own expansions, with much more than 200 commands
  • virtual memory, automatically enabled on memory shortage
  • chat system (also available as standalone version) connecting multiple CL systems and points by internet or Hydra Netcall
  • detailed, pictured manual
  • and many more

Requirements:
  • System: Amiga or compatible, MC68030 or better
  • Memory: for box usage minimum 4 MB (recommended: 16 MB)
  • Programs:
    • MUI 3.8 or better
    • NList MUI Custom Class

 Christmas / New Year greetings
Dear friends, aquaintances and users of my software!
Another year is almost gone, and I want to write what has happened this year from my point of view.

For one, my studies are doing well (I am in my 5th half-year), but it takes me more time than I expected. This sometimes causes significant delays in my coding projects and / or in writing e-mails. I want to say sorry for this, but my studies have to be top priority.

In the summer break I wanted to use every free hour for coding - and that's what I did, resulting in good progress in my projects. At first, the WizardClasses, an object-oriented C++ development system, recieved a major update, allowing me to develop others more efficiently. I planned to release this system to the public midtime next year, to make life easier for other programmers.

The first remarkable release this year was my new FrameMachine driver system "FMdriver", which has been accepted very well by the users of this video board. It is now also possible with FMdriver to watch TV on Workbench, with full PPC support for super fast color space conversions.

Afterwards I was planning to finish ArtecScan 2.0 - the scanner driver for Artec scanners. With my recently updated WizardClasses, I was able to finish it faster than usual. But then, the worst thing for every coder happened: my system hard drive was defective, and I lost my complete data (source codes, e-mails and other data). With the help of Petra Struck (author of the German "AmigaNews"), which published my need for an identical hard drive, and Hendrik Hanke, who did lend me his hard drive, I was able to recover my lost data by exchanging the defective controller board. Thanks again!!

Well, this did cost me roughly two weeks work, and by summer brak was over. ArtecScan was not finished again... :( Of course I tried to continue with the ArtecScan development, but with this it took some more weeks.

I demonstrated the results of my work on a little computer exhibition, the "Computronika" end of October in Germany. Afterwards, I released the alpha versions of ArtecScan to the public on my homepage.

After I released ArtecScan, I wrote a FrameMachine driver for the hardware independant video driver standard (VHI) by Felix Schwarz.

Two weeks later, the most important Amiga event of the year took place, the HomeElectronicsWorld'99 in Cologne. Of course I was there, too, and met a lot of people. It was a nice event, and it made clear that the Amiga will live on!

In the very least I will continue programming for the Amiga, and use it, and I hope you do, too! If Haage & Partner, Amiga Inc. and DCE do the right thing, we can have a great new computer by the end of next year!

At the end I wish you all a merry christmas (a little delayed), and a happy new year!! Yours, Stefan Robl. (ps)

  • Thomas Wenzel: PreludeAHI v2.32, a first version of the Prelude AHI driver with built-in support for the Arpeggiator module. 24bit and 96 kHz are fully supported. Since the Arpeggiator is not yet available, this driver does not make a difference yet. However, I also optimized the general 16bit HIFI transmission subroutines. So, if you want to test the driver, go ahead and install it. If there are problems, please send a short e-mail to me. Since Aminet is currently down for maintenance, the two new versions are only available from my homepage for now.
