Is the Microsoft Console coming?
Spiegel Netzwelt writes:
According to rumors, Microsoft is currently working on its own game console, which is reported to be similar powerful than Sonys announced PlayStation 2.
The software company Microsoft is reportedly working on a game console code-named "X-Box". The TV expansion is meant mainly for games, but could have other functionality, too, reported US game magazine Next Generation in its October issue, citing unnamed sources.
According to this article, the console will either run on a 500 MHz chip by Intel or an Athlon chip by AMD, with gfx technology provided by nVidia. As operating system, a modified version of Microsoft's Portable-System Windows CE will be employed. With this setup, the Microsoft console might be comparable in performance to Sonys announced Playstation 2, the article sais. As manufacturer for the Microsoft-designed console, Dell and Gateway might be possible partners. (Full article - German - at the title link).

Siberian Sun MP3s
Markus 'Atroxis' Holler (Freelance Composer) writes:
On my homepage (title link), in the music section there are two songs from the realtime strategy game Siberian Sun for download as MP3. Both songs have been used in the presentation of the game on AmigaFormat #44, probably a goodie for those who don't have the CD (even while they cannot watch the accompaining trailer... ;). (ps)

Read in awe, the news platform of Iwin - .AmiUpdate, which by the way appeared like Phoenix at the same time as Iwin - announces that Iwin has created a new section on their website. And what does the interested surfer find: Iwin customers :-). Probably nobody is surprised by now that the customers don't have an eMail address, let alone a website. (ps)

Thomas J. Schmidt in Executive Update
Dear Amigans:

I wanted to make sure everyone knew that Jim Collas has chosen to leave Amiga to pursue
other interests and opportunities. I would like to personally thank Jim for the leadership
and vision he brought to Amiga and the entire Amiga community over the past eight
months. We wish him the best of luck in his new endeavors.

I have been with Amiga since April of this year as the Chief Operating Officer and I
continue to be extremely excited about the plans and strategies we have been working very
hard on the past several months. Those plans will continue with a great business and
technology leadership team focused on the emerging Internet Appliance market space. As
we finalize our plans in this area, we will communicate those to the community.

I would also like to thank Bill McEwen for his many contributions to the Amiga community
and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Bill has been a steady and calming
voice to the community.

Regards,

Thomas J. Schmidt
President

Zune - Open Source Reimplementation of MUI
Zune is a project to reimplement Stefan Stuntz' MUI as Open Source. To achieve this, the project makes use of the API and the freely redistributable includes of the MUI SDK only. The project is based on the LPGL.
Currently Zune is developed under Linux. It is however planned to be portable to other Unixes and, if possible, more or less easily portable for Windows and BeOS.
The project is 20% finished. This includes a good dozen key classes like Notify, Window, Group, Area, Text, Image and the dynamic loading of classes as well as other features.
The current source code can be downloaded as tgz archive from the homepage. On this page, you can find some screenshots of the GUI system.
A mailinglist is available from EGroups. Non-members have access to the archive, too. The list can be subscribed by sending an empty eMail to zune-subscribe@egroups.com or with the form on the bottom of the homepage.
A CVS repository is planned, all participation is warmy welcomed. (ps)

Saku 99: Petro Tyschtschenko about MCC and OS 3.5
Petro Tyschtschenko was unable to attend the Saku 1999 in Finland in person, but gave those present a short status report on development by phone, and made a point not to panic.
Moreover, Petro Tyschtschenko said that he was not fired, and will have a meeting with the new President of Amiga soon. Additionally, he said that AmigaOS 3.5 will be shipped by end of September and that the MCC will appear, however the schedule might be delayed a little.
More information about the meeting can be found at batman.jytol.fi/~saku/english/. A MP3 (5 MB) with the speech of Petro Tyschtschenko is available for download: saku99sp.mp3. (ps)

Digital Images suspending Amiga development
Reply-To:        digital-images-news@egroups.com
From:            Stuart Walker
To;              digital-images-news@egroups.com
Date:            Fri, 03 Sep 1999 23:20:52 +0000
Subject:         [digital-images-news] Digital Images Update

To Amiga users worldwide,

Due to recent announcements and problems with Amiga, Digital Images regrets
that we will be suspending all AmigaMCC projects including Sabrina Offline.
Space Station 3000 and Wipeout 2097 will be released as planned, but we will
be suspending all other Amiga developments until further notice.

Everyone behind Digital Images has enthusiastically supported the Amiga
through the good times and the bad times. But with the recent troubles with
Amiga, the entire team has unanimously decided to suspend all Amiga
developments (with the exception of Space Station 3000 and Wipeout 2097). We
regret to have to take these measures, but Digital Images cannot afford to
spend time, resources and money developing for a computer which now, as it
seems may never appear.

We hope that everybody reading this understands our position as this is the
last thing that any of us would ever have wanted to do, but Amiga have made
promise after promise that something would appear, but it has not.

We deeply regret this decision, but it is a final measure that has to be
taken. We wish that we wouldn't have to go this far, but we now have no
other option - it is the last thing that any of us wanted to do. We would
appreciate it if everybody understood our position and wouldn't send e-mails
of anger and abuse. We have done everything in our power to avoid this, but
it just isn't possible.

If the Amiga does indeed rise again, which we hope it does, we will return.

We hope that you will enjoy our upcoming releases of Space Station 3000 and
Wipeout 2097.

If you do have any questions or queries concerning this announcement, please
e-mail info@digital-images.demon.co.uk

We thank you all once again for your loyal and devoted support.

Kind Regards,

Stuart Walker
Digital Images

CCC Press Release about MS Crypto API Backdoor
Press Information from Chaos Computer Club
Microsoft Operating Systems with builtin Backdoor:
Secure cryptography with Windows jeopardized
By detailed research with the WindowsNT operating system by an American Security Software developer, a massive software backdoor could be revealed in the operating systems Windows95, 98, NT and Windows 2000 (beta), which is likely dating back to an initiative by the US secret service NSA. This has a heavy impact on Microsoft's operating systems security.
After the initiatives of the American secret service NSA (National Security Agency) for worldwide communications control by means of internationally standarised regulation of encryption have suffered severe setbacks, now obviously it is attempted to reach the same goals by implementing backdoors in the American software products dominating the market.

gcc 2.95.1 for AmigaOS
Kamil Iskra has released the binaries of "gcc 2.95.1" for AmigaOS. They can be found on the GeekGadgets servers at amiga/m68k/alpha/misc/gcc-2.95.1-bin020.tgz (6.47 MB).
They are compiled for 68020+ CPUs, and can be loaded residently. The sourcecodes are available by anonymous login from the GeekGadgets CVS server.
With gcc version 2.95, the seperate branches of gcc and egcs are merged back together, so GeekGadgets again uses exclusively gcc.
Improvements have been made e.g. in register handling, so the previously common "fixed or forbidden register was spilled" error should be less frequent with this version.
More informations about gcc 2.95 are available at gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.95/features.html. (ps)

driver software for laser
Bytei & McScotty (Pascal & Rainer) write:
For about 6 years we run a small laser show rental. Our lasers are exclusively driven by Amigas (1200 50 MHz 10 MB 68030+Co). Sadly, our driver software leaves a lot to be desired! The developer of the software (Edward Skorus) has given us sourcecodes and rights. For a long time now we are looking for alternatives or someone able to expand the driver software. Is there someone among your readers who knows this stuff, or knows someone who knows? (ps)

Foundation News
A new update will be released ASAP. The last version 1.25 was not released because this update has been done for the new version 'Foundation Directors Cut', and was not fully compatible to the old 'Foundation' version. Paul Burkey works on the new Update 1.26 and is trying to make this update compatible with the old version, too. Moreover, Paul informs also that he is increasing his work on 'Foundation's Edge', and that this work is taking most of his time. (ps)

Collas out as Amiga president
According to ZDNet, Jim Collas is no longer president of Amiga.
Summary of the article:
Jim Collas leaves the company for personal reasons, and has registered his 118.000 stock shares for sale. Moreover it is reported that Gateway paid 13 million US-Dollar for 47 Amiga patents, and that Collas himself asked Gateway president Ted Waitt for the Job at Amiga. He moreover asked to run Amiga as a seperate company.
Tom Schmidt takes over the post from Collas. Before his joining Amiga, Schmidt has worked as General Manager for Allied Signal. He was not available for comment.
PS:
CNet also reports: Gateway's Amiga president jumps ship
The article states that Collas' leaving does not imply a change in plans, and the planned route will be continued by Schmidt. (ps)

Hello All,

I regret to inform that Bill McEwen told me as of
Tuesday he will no longer be under contract at
Amiga.  Sigh.

I called him about some newsletter plans he had
in mind, only to receive yet another bit of
disappointing news.

Regards,
Fabian

FMdriver Update Version 1.12
Stefan Robl writes:
The FMdriver packet has been improved further:
All programs can now save in IFF format, too (8 as well as 24 bit). All problems with flicker or lines in small resolutions should be fixed, the FPS rate now looks much more stable, too. A serious bug has been removed that occured when there was no Prism24 module connected. The FMRecorder now offers several file formats, so it will work with every video software. Small changes and bugfixes.
