In the article MorphOS, the Pegasos, and other PPC Operating Systems and Platforms at MorphOS News.de Thendic France takes position to the possibility of Amiga OS on Pegasos. Therefore they are gladly ready to ship (or let ship by other distributors) theire Pegasos system with operating systems of other manufacturers if they can be run problem free. But there will be no kind of dongle version that will be supported by Thendic France. Further details can be found in the original article (see title link). (ps) (Translation: sk)

Event: Pictures of visit to "BeGeistert" in Düsseldorf
Here is a selection of the pictures that have been taken today by Petra Struck on the BeOS event BeGeistert. Mainly, of course, pictures of the Pegasos/MorphOS and Walker presentations, which btw may be repeated on Sunday morning if required. An extensive report will follow.


Ulrich 'Scholly' Scholz (left) "guards" the entrance ...

... and collects the entrance fee of 10 Euro per visitor.

Most people are currently attending a BeOS demonstration ...

... thus the room looks nearly deserted.

While waiting for Nicholas, I have already shot a picture of the MorphOS surface. The windows' design is variable and, thanks to MUI, customisable.

Gert is having BeOS explained to him at length :-)

T-Shirts of all sizes and all BeGeistert event vintages are waiting for buyers, three of the old vintages can be bought for 25 Euro, the current "BeGeistert 2002" is 13 Euro.

Bertrand Presles and Sébastien Lokhamkhouak of Thendic France

Here a glimpse of the Pegasos' inside

The complete system

Nicholas Blachford of Thendic France

(This picture in 1280 x 960)
A further look at the Pegasos' inside

The Walker! Nicholas has given it a try, and partly even managed to make it work!

The Walker's backside really strongly resembles a vacuum cleaner, the connectors however reveal that there is a complete computer with all the bits and pieces hiding inside.

Here two - to my knowledge never before published - drawings ...

... of Walker prototypes in a tower (well, rather a giant tower). The original pictures will be submitted to us later.

I have seldomly visited events where the empty pizza boxes were so neatly stacked for disposal!

Here now a couple of pictures from the BeOSers' room ...

Discussions here, object lesson there ...

... naturally, the pizza order is also important!

Gert is looking forward to dinner at a Chinese restaurant ...

... and I, too, am in the best of moods, for I have seen much and, obviously, I am totally delighted. Till next time with "Petra on Tour" ;-)

Music/Sound Expert Sought for Crossfire II

Dreamworlds Development is looking urgently for a music/sound expert who can also add music to animations, in order to prepare Crossfire II. The animations are in MPEG format or if needed in single pictures on a CD. The result of adding the sound should therefore be a timed sample in a common format

There is not going to be much monetary reward involved (because of the overall market situation). The best case scenario would be approximately 100 Euros when the project is published. You can get further details by expressing your interest in an email.

Soms3D Seeks New Partners

Soms has been on ice for a long time because there was a lot of programming to do. This made us really think about things. We decided not to make a 2D adventure, but rather a realtime 3D online role playing game.

To do this we already have a 3D programmer and our first internal beta version. The capabilities of Soms3D will be made public at a later date (assuming our new webpage is online). The adventurers will reach, more or less, a common solution. And naturally all that one may do online must also be doable in an online game.

To reach our goals we still need a bit of help. We are looking for:

  • A musician who can deliver his music in MOD or MIDI form.
  • A programmer who knows his way around Online-Programming.
  • Because Soms3D is based on PPC it would be better when partners have a PPC, especially when programming.
  • Applications or Inquiries go to Sylvio K..

Game 'Armada' released on Aminet

Armada is a round-based game for two to five players. It is a version of a game formerly played with paper and colored pencils. To start off each player places his sea port on the map. As the game progresses players select their ships and attack opposing ships. It depends on the distance and a roll of the dice if the opposing ships are sunk.

Armada-Homepage is here, and here is the Aminet download link: Armada.lha. The author would like to hear some feedback about the game and its homepage.
