Website against terrorism - Stop this madness
Hi, I am an ex-Amiga owner. Today I use linux. I know my message has
nothing to do with computers, but I hope you'll visit my website anyway.
It is a website against terrorism. Please visit it and sign the list.
Thank you.
I am still looking for a German translation. If you can help, please
contact Matthijs Schonewille.

Database: MySQT V0.1a
Alpha version 0.1a of the MySQL GUI (MUI) 'MySQT' was released. The 'MySQL Simple Query Tool'
in this early alpha version offers the possibility to make SELECT requests from smaller
tables via GUI. The limitation for smaller tables follows from the fact that this early alpha version
still has no dynamic memory management.
It is required to enter your database's access data to the tooltypes before start.

IRC: An Amiga #channel about the future....
Hello people!
Since there just was advertising for #diehard, I would like to show
an alternative:
At irc.openproject.org there is a young channel (#amiga) that is said to be
about Ami-OpenSource (AmigaDE). For the time being there isn't much up. Some don't
have an Amiga anymore, some are Amiga Inc. employees, some develop similar projects
coming from the Amiga world, some are active for the current Amiga scene or are people like
you and me.
So, who feels like dropping in is heartily invented.
Meta-server: irc.openprojects.net
Channel : #amiga

Eyetech: Information about the AmigaOne
Alan Redhouse, Eyetech, posted some
statements
about the AmigaOne regarding AmigaOS 4.0 and the boot sequence on the
AmigaOne mailing list.
«1. OS4.0 is based on OS3.9 which does need 3.1 ROMs
2. Backwards engineering/testing for OS3.0 compatibility would
add weeks onto the already late OS4.0
3. Of course some of this stuff can be put in flashrom/hard disk but
this would require a hugh effort in retesting/linking bits of code from
various sources adding further to the cost/delay of OS4.0.
4. As I have said several times before on this list the boot sequence
for the A1/OS4.0 is:
PPC boots from flash ROM & initialises A1 main board, including
any A1 graphics and any available A1 board boot devices (HD,
CDROM, SCSI, USB, etc. drivers) PPC loads 68K emulator from flash rom and
executes an emulator reset Emulator executes A1200 boot sequence which
looks round for boot devices (A1200 HD, FD, PCMCIA & A1 HD, CDROM, SCSI,
USB etc) Emulator boots OS4.0 from the highest priority boot device.
5. From OS4.2 the bootstrap loader (& main drivers) will be in the
A1 flash ROM and the 68k emulator will only look on the A1 board for
boot devices (inc USB floppies, CDROM's etc etc)
Hope this helps
Alan" - Eyetech»

A real Amiga IRC channel for real Amiga users
Amiga Users!
- Tired of going to channels on net after net searching for
some real amiga users who use real AMIGAs?
- Tired of being in channels where there seems to be an
ongoing linux or windows chat?
- Tired of being ragged on by clone owners who think your
silly to be on amiga still?
- Feel like trying a channel where amiga is the only topic
and there is talk about everything from amiga hardware to
software?
- Does the thought of an amiga emulator bother you?
- There is such a place, it's called #DIEHARD and its on
arcnet! Feel free to stop in,and be sure your using your
amiga!
If you answer yes to the above questions, then maybe this is
the channel for you. It was created by amiga users for amiga
users who were tired of emulator, windows and linux being
talked about in so called amiga channels.
Below are some popular servers to get there:
de.arcnet.vapor.com
ch.arcnet.vapor.com
se.arcnet.vapor.com
uk.arcnet.vapor.com
us.arcnet.vapor.com

Kultpower.de - server move and new AmigaJoker reviews
Kultpower.de is now placed on a much bigger server (resp. in
a bigger package at the provider), this should solve the problems with shortage
of webspace and restricted data transfer for a longer period of time.
Therefore can all review articles, that will be released from now on,
be made available in better quality (less compression).
There are also at once 22 new AmigaJoker reviews taken from the issues
9-12/1991: Abandoned Places, Apidya, Battle Isle, Blues Brothers,
Bundesliga Manager Professional, Cruise for a Corpse, Die Kathedrale,
Eye of the Beholder, Gunboat, Hunter, James Pond 2, Kings Quest 5,
Knights of the Sky, Life and Death, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, Magic
Pockets, Manchester United Europe, Mega lo Mania, R-Type 2, Silent
Service 2, The Return of Medusa, Thunderhawk, Utopia. With these there are now
already 79 AmigaJoker reviews of Amiga classics.
Besides that you can now find in the AmigaJoker database for every game a direct
link to the details of the game at the games museum "The Legacy".
For all fans of non Amiga classics there are new PowerPlay reviews taken from
the issues 11/94 and 1/95:
Colonization (MS-DOS), CreatureShock (MS-DOS CD-ROM), DawnPatrol
(MS-DOS CD-ROM), Earthsiege (MS-DOS), Ecstatica (MS-DOS), HellonEarth
(MS-DOS), IronAssault (MS-DOS CD-ROM), KingsQuest7 (Windows CD-ROM),
Lemmings3 (MS-DOS), Lollypop (MS-DOS), MasterofMagic (MS-DOS), PoliceQuest4
(MS-DOS CD-ROM), SystemShock (MS-DOS), U.S.NavyFighter (MS-DOS CD-ROM),
UnderaKillingMoon (MS-DOS CD-ROM), Warcraft (MS-DOS CD-ROM).
The complete number of Powerplay reviews is now grown to tidy 349.
