Report: Pegasos in Leipzig
Several interested persons have seen the presentation of the Pegasos in Leipzig at the booth of the "CCLS e.V." last weekend.
Erhard Bruse gives a brief overview about the presentation:
Even by chance met informatics students from India were interested in MorphOS and the Pegasos. The Sunday was owed to the Pegasos and Linux.
Micha Heider successfully did first tests with his image installer and a backup/recovery by using a hard disk image as well as an
installation of Mandrake Linux to the Pegasos. The recovery took with a 4 GB partition about 10 minutes.
During the next days there will be further information and some pictures and screen shots of Mandrake running on the Pegasos
put to the website of Micha Heider which is to reach by the title link.

Development of SBase4Pro
Russ Norrby of Mr. Hardware Computers, the owners of the "SBase4Pro"-rights (formerly known as "SuperBase 4 Pro"), reports at Amiga.org:
"SBase4Pro can now be compiled with the GCC. This puts us into the position
to provide PPC versions - for example for the AmigaOne.
The current version is v1.36 from April 2000. SBase4Pro is
a very powerful and flexible multi-relational data base. Some of our own
products were made using SBase, for example Retail Escort and Video Escort.
At present we are working on many improvements, for example on HTML outputs or
the possibility to lock files.

Pictures from Amiga Show in Maarssen, NL
Martin Heine was nice enough to provide us with some meaningful
pictures from the
Amiga Show which took place
yesterday in Maarssen in Holland.
The photos were taken by Ron van Herk.
The event was well attended with more than 100 visitors. Genesi presented the
Video Microwave, the prototype of an STB case already known from the CeBIT and
of course the Pegasos with MorphOS in action. On four Pegasos computers as well
as an Debian equipped AmigaOne the visitors could form their own impression of
the current state of the two systems. Furthermore beta versions of Bars'n'Pipes
and FotoFoto for MorphOS were shown. The possibility to buy Pegasos boards at
the ComputerCity stall was also made use of. Furthermore the Access was shown
as well as Amiga merchandising goods such as the game "Amiopoly", Amiga antenna
balls for cars and mugs and T-Shirts from the OS4 tour.

Lego Mindstorms for Amiga

With this it is for the first time possible on the Amiga, among other things, to program the Lego Mindstorms RCX. This can be used to control robots built with Lego bricks.
NQC (Not Quite C) is a language similar to C for the programming of these RCX stones. Furthermore is the communication via the serial interface and via USB (with Poseidon) supported.
