Woa pictures
The first exhibiton day was gut visited and as could be read in the different announcements there were interesting presentations of hard- and software all over the place. As usual we'll supply you with comprehensive information about all details in our exhibition review.

You can get a first impression through our pictures. Besides the photos by Petra Struck under the title link Torsten Dudai has also captured his impressions.

Thomas Wenzel on ANF


New public beta of AmigaAmp
Just in time for the end of the WoA'2000 there's a new version of AmigaAmp. Originally Thomas Wenzel had planned to release the final version 2.8 these days. But there are two features he didn't want to psh back for later releases:

MAS-Player Support
The MAS-Player is an external MPEG-audio-decoder for the parallel port and can be used with EVERY Amiga. The support in AmigaAmp exists in the form of a new driver system developed by Paul Qureshi together with Dirk Conrad and Thomas Wenzel. With the combination AmigaAMP and MAS-Player it is possible to play MP3-files in full quality even on 68030 Amigas. Dirk himself offers a special highly optimised software which makes playback of MP3 even on a 68000. The MAS-Player is distributed by Eternity (Martin Wolf).

Shoutcast Streaming
Shoutcast is a protocol for live broadcastings of radio transmissions via the internet. >From the today released version on AmigaAMP doesn't need an external program for receiving such transmissions. The necessary protocol is directly integrated.

The two named features are still in development and don't run 100% stable. For a first impression it is enough though. The new version of AmigaAMP is downloadable from www.amigaamp.de.

Digital Almanac III Xmas update
Because of illness the release of the Xmas update for DA3 may be delayed some days. Because of the same reason a preview of the new features was only possible just now.

Under the title link you can find a summary of the new features including screenshots.

Fun Time World


WOA: Eyetech - AmigaOne/AmigaDE-Roadmap
Together with the partners Escena (Martin Schueler) and Hyperion Software (further partners are Haage&Partner (68k-Emulation) and Michael Rock(PCI/AGP-Resource Libraries and other things)) the company Eyetech has presented their plans regarding their AmigaOne computer. Fun Time World has released diagrams of this presentation.

The AmigaOne 1200 from Eyetech is a PPC-PCI-system plus Amga hardware and 68k-emulation for use with Amiga Classic and AmigaDE software. The PPC system is based on the project Brainstormer by Escena.

Via the WestBridge of the system the A1200, IDE, 1 AGP- and 4 PCI-slots are connected. Via the NorthBridge the PPC-cpu, the SDRAM, USB and two more PCI-slots. The PPC can access the Amiga-system (custom chips, Chip RAM, Amiga I/O).

On starting the system the FlashROM is copied into the SDRAM, then the 68k-emulator respectively the AmigaDE is activated and the Amiga Classic' booted. The Amiga Classic software now runs on top of the 68k-emulation on the AmigaOne-board (PPC) and uses the Amiga specific hardware of the integrated A1200-board.

The emulation only emulates the command set of the 68k-cpu-line but no Amiga specific hardware like AGA which exists as real hardware. The emulation is memory intensive and therefore needs a fast memory access. For a step-by-step adaption of the software 'in-line'-PPC-code is supported.

The following planned schedule is given in the diagrams.

Amiga Classic
  • 12/2000: developer system
  • 01/2001: Classic OS-drivers
  • 01/2001: 680x0-emulator
  • 02/2001: system for betatesters
  • 1. quarter 2001: finished version of the AmigaOne A1200 for use as extended Amiga Classic (PPC, PCI/AGP-Slots)

AmigaDE
  • 07/2001: AmigaDE for end-users
  • 07/2001: AmigaDE graphics, drivers and so on
  • 08/2001: AmigaDE port for (every) AmigaOne possible
  • 1. quarter 2002: availability of ready-to-use applications especially for AmigaDE

Alfred Faust on ANF


Open source: Bars&Pipes Pro 2.0
Alfred Faust has released an email of Todor Fay, the former chief programmer of Blue Ribbon Soundworks Inc., on ANF that is dated 9. December 2000. In this email Todor Fay announces the release of the source code of Bars&Pipes Pro V2.0. Besides bugfixes this will make the continued development of the sequencer possible.

For now Fay is collecting together the source code. For this he needs help from one or more Amiga developers with an up and running Amiga developer environment.

«I think we can work towards a better solution:

I've gotten clearance to release the source code for Bars&Pipes to the Amiga community. This means several things:

1) Known bugs can be fixed.

2) Perhaps y'all can create special hooks for real time services (timer, midi in and out) in the Amiga code so it can connect more directly with the services in Windows. It's pretty amazing that timing works at all, given that it is running on an emulation of the audio interrupt (kudos to Brian King!). 'Course that would require changes to WinUAE to support this.

3) Port Bars&Pipes to Windows. If people want to collaborate on such a project, I will very gladly provide advice and assistance.

At this point, I'm collecting together the source code. I need to work with one or more developers who have Amiga dev environments up and running to help put this together. We need to make sure everything is there and compiles correctly.

Any volunteers?

Todor»

James Russell on Open Amiga-ML


AmigaDE: James Russell manages Mozilla porting
James Russell is the leader of the Mozilla-engine-porting for AmigaDE. Mozilla is the open source browser project emerged from the Netscape browser.

To begin with Russell has contacted mozdev.org about the possibility of hosting the necessary infrastructure (webspace, CVS, mailing list) for the project. It would then become accessible under mozamiga.mozdev.org.

Everybody who wants to help in porting, give constructive ideas or feedback may post on the Open Amiga-Mailingliste or address directly to James Russell. He is to find on the IRC-channels #mozamiga at irc.mozilla.org and #developer at irc.whiterose.net.

He suggests to interested people to have a look at the NSPR-Video on http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/brownbag.htmlfor now, which informs in a comprehensive way about the NSPR module. This module presents the biggest hurdle for the Mozilla-port for AmigaDE.

BoXer Board Status
On the Anti-Gravity page there is a press release dated November, 29th 2000 concerning the BoXer mainboard.

Current BoXeR prototype main-boards feature the emulated AGA chip-set on three single chips. The final revision will integrate the AGA into one single chip. The redesign has been completed and it is ready for build up. It is planned to make this board with one single AGA chip available for the AmigaActive magazine for testing purpose end of December.

The distributor network is growing. According to the latest survey there are currently more than 500 distributors of the BoXer.

Our employment survey also got great and worldwide response. Anit-Gravity is hoping to be able to contact everyone who replied to talk about possibilities to enable all of them to take part in developing this system.

Open Source Campaign planning to create a Counsil
The 'Campaign to Open Source the AmigaOS' campaign created by Steve Crietzman is making efforts to release the AmigaOS sources as open source. In recent times it has been quiet around this campaign. This was due to the fact that Crietzman had taken a longer break, because work had gotten to much to handle. Now he regrets to have been absent for so long without any explanation.

The current plan involves the creation of a transition plan for the Open Amiga Foundation. Therefore they are looking for participants. Persons interested in this initiative might contact OpenAmiga@aol.com.

AmigaDE: Etick V0.86 Beta and Ewinease V0.63 Alpha
On December 9th, 2000 Patrick Roberts released beta version 0.86 of the ticker 'ETick' and alphav ersion 0.63 of the GUI-Kit 'Ewinease'

Etick is a graphical ticker with plug-in support that can display miscellaneous information like headlines of news services. The archive contains the files that are necessary to develop plug-ins. Currently the following sources are supported:
  • Amiga.org: Headlines
  • Amiga.com: First page headlines
  • Amigadev.net: Headlines of the news, Top 10 Downloads, the last 10 uploads
  • Time and date
  • Weather forecast (needs 'forecast.tgz')
  • Stats of the web-servers 'zAMilo'

The program further needs Clip and Artix_Nexttext by Richard Collier. These packages have to be installed before 'Etick'.

There is a small update for 'Ewinease'. This kit simplifies the programming of AVE-GUIs in C. This update is an alpha version. The product is not completed and may contain bugs. More detailed information are in TODO_HISTORY.doc.
