Don't expect too much...
Some thoughts on the upcoming Amiga 2K. Not as negative as it might sound,
but some facts to consider:
Don't expect too much - Thoughts by Martin Baute
In three days it will happen. On the "Amiga 2K" in St. Louis, USA, the new
developer boxes are presented to the public.
It really seems like, for the first time since the AGA
chipset, announcements of a new Amiga technology will be indeed followed
up by a real product.
With interest I followed the enthusiastic expectation
expressed on mailing lists, chat rooms etc. I hate to pull the brake on this
enthusiasm, but I have to call out to many Amigians: Don't expect too much!
To prevent the big outcry after this weekend, "we have
been fooled", "Bill and Fleecy aren't better than the people before", I
want to have a critic eye on what we are up to.
The hardware that will be displayed in St. Louis will
not be different from an off-the-shelf PC. Yes, that means x86. This won't
change in the foreseeable future, since Amiga doesn't have a choice.
Yes, I hear the cry: PPC! But where to get one? The only
manufacturer of high-power PPC systems in significant numbers is Apple -
and their systems are not only more expensive than their x86 counterparts,
but also much less documented. Apple simply doesn't tell every anybody all
the details of their motherboards, as Be came to realize painfully.
The POP PPC boards by IBM? Except for the one I saw at
the Amiga booth in Cologne, I haven't seen one so far. They are real, for
sure. But where to get one, for which price?
So swallow the pill and take a x86 board. Let's face it:
why not? The CPUs are no beautys, but they offer x times more performance
than any (existing!) Amiga PPC boards, they are cheap, and available from
the retailer around the corner.
(Well, I see, certain people from the Amiga community
will likely hang myself after this article...)
Graphics? Be real, no company in the world can hope to
outperform the big players in the business, ATi, Matrox, nVidia, 3DFx etc.
just like that. And they, in turn, will most likely not offer some kind of
miracle chip exclusively to Amiga.
So we have to settle with "standard hardware" in this
area, too.
So what's special about the developer boxes at all?
Software, of course. But what kind of software will that
be? If you think about it, you should realize that these systems won't show
the new Amiga Desktop.
For one, it would be a miracle if, after a few (three?
four?) months of cooperation with the TAO Group, it would be already finished.
And if it would, they would ship user devices instead of developer boxes.
What will be running on the developer boxes will be Elate,
the real-time core from TAO. Perhaps natively, perhaps "hosted" on e.g. Linux.
(And in case McEwen pre-installed Windows on the Amiga developer boxes, I
will travel to the USA myself to send him to the asylum.)
This will be supplemented by a documentation of the Elate
and intent architectures (intent is the "multimedia layer" from TAO), probably
a special version of GCC and a bunch of Includes.
Or, to put it an Amigian way: It will not be the successor
of the OS3.5 CD, but the successor of the Amiga Developer CD.
Developers will be happy to get a glance on "the insides".
For users, the developer boxes will most likely be as (un-)interesting as
the last Cheapo-PC.
The fact that hardware is shipped together with the
software at all is to avoid developers having to write drivers for their
XY card with ZZ chip at first; at the same time, you don't have to specify
your hardware configuration at length when sending in a bug report...
"But when the first end-user products are released,
everything will be fine, wouldn't it?"
Sorry I have to pull the brakes on this one, too -
no it won't. At least not automatically.
Even if all programmers from the Amiga community get
themselves a developer box (and many will not, if not simply for cost
considerations); even if ALL existing Amiga software would be available
for the new machines in a new version, starting from day 0...
...that would be great for us, and a real miracle. But
would it lead to the PC user next door getting himself an Elate-Amiga-whatever
instead of upgrading his system?
Your friend wants to buy the PC with monitor, Windows,
Word, and Works for 999 USD. Can you (without guilty conscience) recommend
buying an Elate-Amiga with Monitor, Elate, AmigaWriter and TurboCalc, PPaint
and MUIbase for 999 USD instead?
Yes, I hear ye: It will be much cheaper, because being
much more efficient with the ressources.
Sure, and again the Amigians tell the world that AmigaOS
is happy with a half-as-fast CPU because being efficient. Don't you remember
the sorry glances?
It will take time. It will take the support of software
manufacturers porting PROFESSIONAL applications to the Elate-Amiga. It will
take applications that, in their elegance, efficiency, and their usefullnes
aren't POSSIBLE on any other platform. It will take an unparalleled marketing
campaign, and I don't know who will pay for it. It will take strong partners,
supporting Amiga financially - because the startup money brought together
by Bill and Fleecy won't take forever.
It will take a lack of attention from the competition,
with their large amounts of "operative cash" and their monopolistic
stranglehold, which could crush the small startup in no time.
You could read from between the lines of the Executive
Update that Bill and Fleecy already have big-player companies at hand -
just for getting confirmation on this (and to hear names) makes looking
at this weekend's happenings at St. Louis worthwhile.
And, after the many years of hoping, waiting, holding
out: It will take programmers porting their tools and applications to the
new machines with full enthusiasm, with no regard for the collapsing "Classic"
market.
Some will say: "I have done my part for the Amiga, now
others should take the lead." God knows, I could spend my time with more
pleasant things than hours of translations.
But right NOW is the moment when it will be decided:
Have the years of holding out been worth it? Right NOW the developers have
to take the chance to provide the plattform "new Amiga" with desperately
needed software right from the start.
Even if it becomes a success, probably only a few will
make the big money with it. But to say now that it won't be a success
anyway means saying the recent years went to waste.
And in the last, it will need users more than anything
else, spending their money on buying these tools and applications together
with the new hardware; creating the foundation for the new users that
might follow.
Don't expect too much. But do what you can!

Interview with Thomas Dellert (DCE)
Read this interview with Thomas Dellert (DCE), done by Petra Struck on
March 29th, 2000, clarifying the availability of PowerUP products:
Interview with Thomas Dellert, DCE
Author: Petra Struck
Interview partner: Thomas Dellert, DCE Computer Service GmbH,
Oberhausen, Germany
Translator: Martin Baute
amiga-news.de: What is the scheduled date for shipping the following products with P5 licence?
Thomas Dellert:- BVision: Over 100 already shipped to Vesalia. We ship finished cards daily.
- Cybervision PPC: Production started last Friday.
- Cybervision64 3D (bugfixed Version): The first 100 were shipped to Vesalia on March 28th.
- Cyberstorm MKIII Boards: The first boards were shipped Friday.
- Cyberstorm PPC604e Boards: We just recieved 400 604-233. I hope we will be able to ship the first boards in the next 10 - 14 days.
- Blizzard PPC603e Boards: The circuits boards are already in storage. Sadly the delivery of CPUs and CPLDs is being delayed.
amiga-news.de: Why those big delays? What problems did DCE had to fight?
Thomas Dellert: The worldwide shortage of parts is a big problem right now. Here only some exsamples:- SMD Kondensator 1 NF. Delivery time 20 weeks.
- CPLD Logik Chips. Delivery time about 24 weeks.
- SGRAM for BVision. Delivery time about 15 weeks.
- Tantal Elkos. Delivery time !!!!! Not this year.....
amiga-news.de: Is there a plan to continue the G4 plans from P5, or has DCE put these to a rest once and for all?
Thomas Dellert: G4 isn't on the list for now. The CPUs probably won't be available this year.
amiga-news.de: Is there a plan of developing new graphic cards?
Thomas Dellert: If we hadn't recieved the Permedia II chipsets, this certainly would have been an issue.
amiga-news.de: Is there contact between DCE and Bill McEwen? If so, can you tell us something about it?
Thomas Dellert: We are in contact. It's about technical details of the PPC boards. I cannot say more about it at this time.
amiga-news.de: The DCE website is partially availalable in German already, will the rest be translated too, and what is particulary interesting, will there be a "news" site, where everybody can see what's new at DCE?
Thomas Dellert: We are working on it. I hope to complete the site in the next 14 days.
amiga-news.de: Will DCE attend the Amiga & Atari show in Neuss, June 2000?
Thomas Dellert: All products will be offered there by Vesalia Computer. We hope that this time we have plenty of stock.
amiga-news.de: Will other retailers recieve products too, or will the hardware only be available from Vesalia in the future?
Thomas Dellert: Vesalia will for sure also ship to other retailers. (Translation: mb)

The new version 1.1 is now available. A bug was removed which took effect only
under Linux and some special abilities were included. So the JavaRunner now
tries to create the CLASSPATH-environment-variable if it doesn't exists.
Additional V 1.1 works perfect with the new JRE® 1.2.x.

Amiga University wants you!
Amiga University needs your support for several areas:
Author: Kevin Orme
URL: Amiga University
Hello fellow Amigans. I would like to take but a moment of your time to
notify you of a new site that isn't quite done yet, but is definitely on the
way and hopefully will be able to help *all* of you use your Amigas to the nth
degree, as they were designed to be used.
Due to the excitement being generated by this year's Amiga2K show, we wanted
to announce our presence just before the show to jump on the bandwagon.
As Bob Scharp likes to say, Amiga2K is going to be HUGE!
The site is called Amiga University, and located at http://www.amigau.com.
We are currently looking for the following:
1) Visitors to the site, primarily Amiga users from around the globe who want
to use their Amiga in new, different ways as well as expand on their existing
knowledge of current interests. Refer to the News page for the sections
of the site already done vs. those still under construction (we're about halfway
there at present);
2) Faculty for the university. If any of you have specific Amiga
knowledge or experience and would like to share it, please visit our Faculty
pages and climb on board, we'd love to have you. It doesn't matter if
your expertise is in hardware hacks, Lightwave animation or MIDI wizardry,
the more the merrier!
http://www.amigau.com/Faculty.htm
3) We have other 'projects' we'd like to get underway as soon as feasible.
Please visit our Projects page and decide if you're interested in helping on
these/leading others.
http://www.amigau.com/Projects.htm
4) Finally, we will be at Amiga2K, sharing a booth with Northwest Amiga Group
(NAG). Please stop by! We'll have mousemats and hats for sale, as
well as faculty sign up forms and anything else Amiga you want to talk about,
we're all ears.
See you at Amiga2K!

New software for MROOCHECK PC-Wheel-Mouse-Interface by Elbox
New software for Wheel support for MROOCHECK PC Mouse Interface. Also included in this
release is FreeWheel - the commodity which converts wheelmouse events into scrollbar
movement or cursor key movements. It can also map several useful functions to the wheel
button, and a fourth mouse button. Read more in ReadMeFirst.
The Mroocheck interface guarantees full compatibility of these devices with Amiga
computers (wheel and extra button functions included). The basic advantage over the
solutions, which are based around connecting mouses to the Amiga serial port is that
a mouse/trackball connected through the Mroocheck interface is active as soon as in
the early-startup-menu, not only after the computer software drivers are started.
Obviously enough, Mroocheck does not block the serial port in Amiga.

Planetamiga Austria presents a completely renewed online offer
Planetamiga is proposing a completely reworked and at the same time the
first Amiga online shop featuring a shoppingkart system in Austria since
today. After the former version of the Planetamiga site had somewhat
aged, Planetamiga decide to realise a completely new idea. The design
and structure of the page is decent, but the contents is expandable.
Most interesting for austrian Amiga users might become the
Planetamiga-Newsletter which does not only send actual information about
the Amiga directly to the private mailbox, but will also inform about
the most recent deals. Planetamiga is also planning a bannerfree
Webinterface for webmasters. Since this is not ready it will not be
described yet.

Amiga Forever News
Some news about the Amiga Forever CD Cloanto.
First there are new files for the Amiga Forever 3.0 CD. There are new
links to legal download sites for classic Amiga games and softwares on
the Amiga Forever Homepage.
Return-Path: info-reply@cloanto.com
From: "Cloanto.com Information" info-reply@cloanto.com
Subject: Amiga Forever News from Cloanto (Always Hot, Never Vaporware!)
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 11:35:29 +0200
HOT NEWS FROM THE AMIGA FOREVER TEAM
While some of the most enthusiastic (and lucky) emulation users are
reporting faster-than-060 Amiga speeds on their new GHz-class PCs,
Cloanto just made available a new set of Amiga Forever 3.0 files at
http://amigaforever.com/. The Amiga Forever home page also includes new
links to legal downloads of classic Amiga games and other software.
Amiga Forever Online Edition is now also available in a convenient
cross-platform ZIP archive. All Amiga ROM, Workbench and the preinstalled
System and Work configurations are ready to run on any platform for which
the UAE or Fellow Amiga emulators are available (e.g. Linux, Mac, DOS, etc.)
As our users already know, Amiga Forever includes a legal and official
license to all Amiga technology (patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc.)
which is implemented in the resulting emulation configuration.
Both the Windows and the cross-platform version of Amiga Forever were
brought up-to-date with the latest versions of the bundled third-party
software, and are now being released after extensive tests. The WinUAE
emulation software has also been updated. The Workbench now opens in an RTG
screen mode by default, resulting in a faster system. Also, Martin R.
Huttenloher, author of MagicWB, kindly allowed us to use his original color
scheme, so that the Amiga Forever Workbench environment, without further
changes or add-ons, can now properly display both NewIcons, GlowIcons and
MagicWB icons. This is something which not even "Amiga OS 3.5" can do!
The new Amiga Explorer 3.5 software, which can be used to connect an Amiga
to one or more Windows systems, is available alone for $19.95, or included
in either the Windows or the cross-platform version of Amiga Forever, which
cost $29.95. The Amiga Forever Plus Pack, which includes a collection of
additional ROM and Workbench files of historical interest, and an interview
(MP3 audio) with the late Jay Miner, "Father of the Amiga", is available at
the special promotional price of $9.95 with every order of Amiga Forever.

Press release: Commander-ImageFX (configurable GUI)
Commander by Dhomas Trenn is a software which creates configurable
graphical user interfaces for other softwares. Actually Dhomas has
adapted his software fo ImageFX:
From: Amiga News: Press Announcements dhomas@youngmonkey.ca
Reply-To: news@youngmonkey.ca
To: Amiga News: Press Announcements
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 15:09:41 -0400
Organization: young monkey studios
Subject: Announce: Commander-ImageFX (Customizable GUI)
About Commander
---------------
One of the drawbacks of many programs is the lack of a customizable
user interface. Functions, such as ARexx scripting and plug-ins, often
have to be started via file requesters or multi-level menus. This
approach can slow down your workflow - and often hinder your creative
energy.
ImageFX, for example, lacks a customizable (or updated) command
interface. When new modules/hooks scripts are added to the program
(home-made, pd, shareware, or commerical) you're required to select
those functions through a file requester or other means. This can slow
down the creative process. Commander is the solution to that problem.
Features
--------
- Can control any program that has an ARexx command set. A "GENERIC"
demo is available to demonstrate Commander's capabilities regardless
of what application you want to use it with. If you have an
application that you would like to see Commander support for, please
let us know.
- Commander is currently available for: ImageFX. See special features
below.
- Extensive customization allows the user to design multiple
interfaces for all kinds of different approaches to working.
Just about everything is customizable, including: layout, fonts,
gadgets, colors, images, etc.
- Openable on any public screen. Can be run multiple times on the same
screen and/or on different screens, each with a different or same GUI.
- Can control more than one application from one GUI.
- GUIs are designed external to the main program. This minimizes memory
requirements and increases the interface speed.
- Includes useful examples and tutorials to get you started. Example
files can be modified to meet your needs, or new interfaces can be
created.
ImageFX Features
----------------
- Works with any version of ImageFX under WB2.x or higher.
- Full control of ImageFX via it's ARexx command set. Now you can have
immediate access to all those extra hooks and effects that aren't part
of the standard ImageFX GUI.
- Commander can start automatically when ImageFX starts. Quitting
Commander can also quit ImageFX.
- Can be run multiple times on different screens, for multiple
simultaneous iterations of ImageFX.
What Will Commander Do?
-----------------------
Commander allows you to customize your own GUI for supported
applications, giving you the ability to directly access your favourite
ARexx commands, scripts, and plug-ins in a way that works best for you.
If you use a large screen (1280x1024) you may wish to have numerous
independently movable panels of grouped commands. If you use a smaller
display (640x400) you may prefer to have a page flipping type
interface. Or you may want to have multiple configurations for
different kinds of workflow. Commander can do it all.
What Won't Commander Do?
------------------------
Commander won't help you to be creative, but it will help your creative
flow by avoiding the hinderance of a cumbersome GUI.
Requirements
------------
- WB 2.x+
- Text editor
- A supported application (see above)

Indiana Jones 4 part 2
Robert Konrad, PR-manager of "Indy Project", writes:
As you can see on http://indyproject.de (title link), there will be an
Amiga version of Indy Project. I will see after it. Perhaps I will need
some more people, perhaps I am good enough myself until then to handle it myself.
See, it will take some time until the game is close to completion, and before
starting the port makes sense. I don't expect major problems with the port,
but there won't be a disk version :-(
If there are still some Turrican fans around, you should have a look at

Two new games (Website currently down)
Alive Mediasoft will publish two new games in April: Super Taekwondo Master
and Cedric and the Search for the Magic Sceptre. Super Taekwondo Master is
a 2D action simulation with one- and two-player modes.
Cedric and the Search for the Magic Sceptre is an action role-playing game
in which you play the role of the heroic Cedric who undyingly fell in love
with the daughter of the king. This love is reciprocated, but of course the
king won't let his daughter marry a commoner. One day the king's magic sceptre
is stolen, and Cedric now gets the chance to raise his reputation by returning
the sceptre. In the process, Cedric has to master some adventures.

Launch of www.amigan.com
On April 3rd http://www.amigan.com will launch. My work DNS server just
picked it up this morning, so do not be distressed if it does not come up,
it exists I assure you :) (look at www.qwhois.com to see). This is web site
is owned by the newly formed Grapevine Computers Inc., and will eventually
include many features, at this point I'm not sure which ones will be
operational at launch date. It is being run on a fully Pearl/CGI enabled
Linux web server with a secure site certifcate for secure online purchases.
The idea behind this corporation is that it will be 100% owned by Amiga
users, and at launch date users may purchase shares of stock no matter where
in the world they live (We've contacted the IRS on how to do this). We want
to compete with the very few online vendors of Amiga products that have a
monoply like effect selling upgrade parts and replacement parts for very
high prices for classic Amiga. We will also be a dealer for the new Amiga.
I've contacted Bill McEwen but I haven't heard back from him (he's a busy
guy I'm sure), to get the offical Amiga blessing. All shareholders will get
a discount on items for sale, and right now were planning on members of the
board of directors getting products at cost. Shares of common stock will be
sold for $1 US, and anyone can purchase a few as one share. It is a
privately held close corporation, in in will operate pursuant to the Texas
Close Corporation Act (my lawyer talking there).
We're also looking for a couple people. One, someone to translate the site into German
and and server as a coordinator and contact for operations for German.
Second, someone to serve as a cordinator and contact for operations in
England. Stock will be traded in consideraton for these positions, and they
will eventually will be paying positions when we get off the ground. This
is by no means full time (it's not going to be full time for me either, even
though my girlfriend sure thinks it is). Interested persons can e-mail
president@amigan.com . If their DNS servers are not updated yet, they can
e-mail tom@grapevinecomputers.com .
Further details will be released on April 3rd on the website. Anyone having quesitons can e-mail me.
Thanks, Tom Kisner, President/CEO, Grapevine Computers

Alive Mediasoft website down
Within 6 hours of Alive's new web site being launched, we have exceeded our
monthly traffic allowance! As we are already on our providers premium gold
account we cannot increase the bandwidth any further with them. The site is
still there but many people are find it impossible to get on as it's just
too busy. We are in contact with several larger internet providers to find
someone to cope with the traffic. As soon as we find one we'll move the
site and hopefully see no more problems.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but do keep trying - you never know it may
calm down in the next few day!
