Veranstaltung: Report from the AmiWest
Steven Solie resumes his impressions from the AmiWest (October 22, California) under the title link. The main items in brief:
The announced special guest was Bill McEwen from Amiga Inc., who would bring a prototype of a ppc mainboard. But McEwen had to cancel his appearance in the last minute, as his son was injured during a hokey match.
The author himself had a sample of Troika's PPC-motherboard "Panda", which should have been functional in theory. But Solie didn't want to take a risk and he will try the hardware in a more relaxed environment, therefore functional tests were not carried out. According to Solie Hyperion has already received Panda motherboards, and an external company was charged with the redesign of the licensed hardware.
Richard Drummond represented Hyperion and showed the AmigaOS 4-port of the strategy game Gorky 17.
A port of the astronomy software Digital Universe for AmigaOS 4 is in work, the latest beta version was presented at the exhibition.
The Amiga legend Carl Sassenrath was present and apparently very interested in the actual Amiga situation. Meanwhile Sassenrath is discussing his visions around the topic Amiga at the amigaworld.net in certain threads. (cg) (Translation: tz)
