Interview with Frank Mariak
Author: Team amiga-news.de
Interviewpartner: Frank Mariak from Vision Factory Developments
Translator: Martina Jacobs (Interview in German)
amiga-news.de: If we understood right, there are two different kinds of drivers under development: CGX VIRGE V3 driver, and CGX Voodoo driver. What is the technical difference between those, and which driver is meant for which product.
Frank Mariak: Those drivers are designed for two PCI boards completely
different from each other. On the one side for the VIRGE/DX chip
set, which was already utilized on the CyberVision64/3D, but in
the meanwhile became somehow anterior. This still appears to be a
good and cheap compromise for Amiga considering 2D performance.
The Voodoo driver of course is meant for the Voodoo3 chip set by
3dfx. This one offers remarkable enhanced 3D performance in
comparison to the CVisionPPC/BVisionPPC boards (if used along
with a PPC processor), and even more 2D performance, than the
CyberStorm/Blizzard graphics accelerators with Permedia2 chip
set.
amiga-news.de: What will support of 3D capabilities be like?
Frank Mariak: There will be no special support from CyberGraphX. At all events
for MorphOS there will be a modulated 3D extension basing on Rave
for the Voodoo boards. The Warp3D team has said to be interested
in modulating the 3D hardware, but unfortunately I don't know
very much about the 3D development state.
amiga-news.de: Please, illustrate in some more detail the (alleged?) technical problems with developing Voodoo drivers for the Mediator board.
Frank Mariak: I have to admit that initially I programmed the Voodoo driver on
the PCI interface extension for my CyberStorm PPC board and then
just tried to make it running on the Mediator board. Originally I
used that PCI extension for developing Permedia2
CVision/BVisionPPC drivers more than two years ago, since the
prototype board of these boards was a PCI card for Apple
PowerMac. Due to this the current Voodoo driver worked with this
PCI extension port at first, the modulation for the Mediator
board then was done supplementary. The announced G-REX extension
rather is just a reworked 4 slot variant of this 1 slot test
board. Since I don't have that extended development system on the
ELBOX case as I have on my A4000T, I always only tested
functionality of the driver with the Mediator board. The
technical problems in the meantime have been discussed extensive
on miscellaneous nets. Basically one may say that the mystified
"bank-switching problem" doesn't cause any trouble, as long as
only one CPU (e.g. 68k) is concerned. Also a PowerPC-only
operating system (which emulates 68k-code) should cause no
problems.
amiga-news.de: Does the cooperation agreement with Elbox still exist, and if not, due to what reason and by whom was it canceled?
Frank Mariak: I definite did not cancel the agreement. After all one may not
forget that ELBOX products are covering a much bigger target
group than extensions like G-REX do, which are designed only for
the special LocalBus on the Blizzard/CyberStrom accelerator
boards. But I agree that the timing of the G-REX announcement was
quite disadvantageous. I'm already in contact with DCE since more
than one year, and since then to bring a successor graphics board
for the current Permedia2 products was looked ahead. DCE and me,
we set the seal on developing Voodoo3 driver signing a contract
now, so Thomas Dellert has planning reliability, and also I would
not come out of with with empty hands. There never has been such
a contract with Elbox, there has just been some kind of
declaration of intent on cooperation with an option of a possible
Voodoo driver, since in these days it was not to foresee if such
a driver really would work. This was meant to be that I would
create free limited CGX3 drivers which then would be delivered
along with the Mediator board. I then should be responsible of
"bringing in" my input myself by selling the CGX4 CDs. In the
meanwhile I ask myself, how I could agree with this. In the view
of stagnating software sells (CGX 4 CD), software pirates, and
continuous requests from ELBOX when at last a somehow working
Voodoo driver for the Mediator board would be available, I felt
extremely pressurized. In the end and moreover one should not
forget that at this time Mediator boards are alowed to be
delivered along with a free CGX3 VIRGE driver, and will be in the
future. Even after DCE's release there was an update for this
driver, so there should not be any talking about canceled
cooperation.
amiga-news.de: Why did you decide an exclusive agreement?
Frank Mariak: Only this way a really satisfying solution for customers can be gained. Only licensing makes it possible to support a product in an optimal way. In my notion that was never eligible with ELBOX.
amiga-news.de: Does the exclusiveness of the Voodoo driver concern GGX3 or CGX4 or even both of these?
Frank Mariak: I don't understand that panic about the current Voodoo driver, at
all. Is the Mediator board a slot for a Voodoo graphics board or
a 4x PCI slot adapter? People might better ask themselves where
are the announced drivers for the Yamaha sound card, the 100MBit
network card or the MPG decoder card. In place of focusing on
completion of this driver a PCI PPC G3/G4 extension was announced
wholehearted which virtually automatically converts the Mediator
board to a data-thruput-"high-achiever". The Amiga world has seen
themselves how long it took come to some state of being error
free on 603/604e processors with PowerUP or the subsequent
competitor WarpOS. A G3/G4 software solution shall suddenly
appear for Amiga within two months? I don't want to further
comment this, but I entertain some doubt.... I just can wish the
ELBOX company much success with that. They at least developed a
68030 accelerator board or have this under their present offer.
amiga-news.de: Does this agreement also mean that there will be no Voodoo CGX drivers for Predator by Eyetech? (Which seems to be quite similar to the G-REX.)
Frank Mariak: No, as a matter of principle nothing avoids respective license for the drivers.
amiga-news.de: Can the drivers be used with every standard board or only with tested boards (compatibility list provided)?
Frank Mariak: In the case of e.g. Voodoo3 the boards available are
substantially of the same assembly. But basically it is
recommended to use only tested boards since else function of the
drivers cannot be guaranteed. This is what I feel to be a
significant problem with the at this time available/released PCI
port extensions. When I purchase a PCI card for a PC, I will get
a driver adapted to this card along with this card. An Amiga user
doesn't have such opportunity if he purchases a PCI card in some
shop. Many people simply underestimate the software problem. Even
on a WindowsPC this is often solved dissatisfying and you get put
off with half done drivers. When I purchased for a ZorroII/III
extension I was able to call the manufacturer to account, if
hardware/software did not run as it should do, and the
manufacturer was able to respond if necessary. Thus also now only
tested products should be used or the respective board should be
ordered from an Amiga stockist right away to at least reasonably
play safe.
amiga-news.de: Does CGX v5 for MophOS represent a complete rewrite of version 4 with enhanced routines or is this a 1:1 port?
Frank Mariak: The drawing routines as well as the drivers where almost entirely newly developed, since CGX4 still uses assemlber optimesed 68k routines which of course can be used emulated only with a PPC.
amiga-news.de: Can CGX be further adopted to WarpOS or PowerUp or can it be further optimised for those? And if, is there hope for this to happen?
Frank Mariak: No, there will be no further adoption to or optimisation for PowerUp or WarpOS.
amiga-news.de: Will there be a 68k version of CGX v5?
Frank Mariak: No, the advantages/enhancements of version 5 only make sense along with a PPC OS e.g. like MorphOS. The 68k variant will stay to be version 4, and independent from V5 will be further developed/enhanced. CGX v5 in conjunction with the current MorphOS test version will be developed and enhanced continuously.
amiga-news.de: Frank, thank you very much for this interview and for your extended answers.

Elbox Insider Report
A summary of the ongoings around the CGX driver for Voodoo3 from
Elbox' point of view:
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 19:16:48 +0200
From: ELBOX press@elbox.com
To: amiga-news.de ps@amiga-news.de
Subject: INSIDER REPORT
INSIDER REPORT
ELBOX COMPUTER
http://www.elbox.com
Krakow, 17 Oct 2000
In brief
In July 2000, ELBOX Computer and Frank Mariak (VFD) negotiated and
agreed upon writing drivers for MEDIATOR PCI busboard.
Frank Mariak agreed to write the software with hardware and technical
documentation provided to him by ELBOX Computer as requested by him.
He had never asked for cash reimbursement and never asked for making
cash-based contract.
Frank Mariak was to write drivers dedicated for ELBOX hardware,
to the order of ELBOX, based on an agreement between ELBOX
and himself.
Frank Mariak's long-term benefit was spreading and popularising
his commercial product: CGX4.
Ultimately, Frank Mariak sold rights to these drivers in exclusive
form to a third party, who are not affiliated with ELBOX Computer
in any way. This transaction, with the following use of confidential
ELBOX documentation within third-party agreements is clear-cut
breach of commercial law in any country in the world.
This step was thought to block developing highly-demanded software
for Amiga computers.
ELBOX Computer decided to clear this situation up in the following
report.
The last part of the report announces software solutions to make
good the damage caused by Frank Mariak's decisions.
On Saturday, 14 Oct 2000
community of Amiga users were informed that an agreement was signed
by virtue of which Mr. Frank Mariak (Vision Factory Development)
transferred exclusive rights to Voodoo PCI drivers written by
himself to a third party.
We, ELBOX Computer, feel obliged to make the entire situation clear
to Amiga users world-wide, as the circumstances around this event
are twisted again and again and give false image of the situation
to public opinion.
Please find the below report as the clarification of what has been
transpiring in the recent weeks behind the scenes.
Background
On 24 July 2000, Elbox Computer and Vision Factory Development
jointly released an announcement on concluding an agreement,
by virtue of which VFD undertook to develop support for PCI graphic
cards installed in the MEDIATOR PCI busboard.
(See http://www.vgr.com/mediator/pressrelease1.txt )
Before this agreement was concluded, both parties negotiated
and finally decided on some specific terms and conditions of
co-operation as follows:
The key point of the agreement was that support for PCI graphic
cards in CGX3 was to be devoid of hardware acceleration, which
was to be fully developed in the CGX4 commercial version.
The parties decided to make the following commitments:
1. ELBOX Computer shall make the developer's documentation for
the MEDIATOR PCI busboard available in order to complete the
agreed work.
The developer's documentation was transferred to
Mr. Frank Mariak on 14 July 2000.
2. ELBOX Computer will provide Vision Factor Development with
computer hardware for preparing drivers for PCI graphic cards
installed in the MEDIATOR PCI 1200 busboard, which Mr. Mariak
needed at that time.
ELBOX Computer sent the hardware: Amiga 1200 in E/BOX tower
with the developer's MEDIATOR PCI 1200 busboard, 1240 turbo
card, FastATA 1200 controller, a hard disk and other necessary
add-ons as well as S3 ViRGE and Voodoo3 PCI cards to
Mr. Frank Mariak on 07 Aug 2000. Another computer hardware
set was delivered to VFD team last week.
3. Vision Factory Development shall develop support for graphic
cards operating in the MEDIATOR PCI busboard. Support for
S3 ViRGE and Voodoo3 chipsets was agreed upon as the minimum.
S3 Virge:
ELBOX Computer received a test version of an S3 ViRGE card
driver (enabling starting Workbench in the S3 ViRGE PCI card)
from Vision Factory Development on 18 July 2000;
S3 ViRGE drivers are currently available.
Voodoo3:
ELBOX Computer received a test version of Voodoo3 drivers
for MEDIATOR PCI for presentation purposes (allowing for
operation with Workbench) on 29 Sep 2000.
4. ELBOX Computer, after starting the production of the MEDIATOR PCI
busboard shall deliver a bundled free package of CyberGraphX v.3
along with drivers for all the currently supported PCI graphic
cards.
ELBOX Computer is now selling the MEDIATOR PCI busboard
through the network of its distributors world-wide.
CGX3 is bundled with MEDIATOR PCI. This is an excellent
advertising move for the commercial CGX4.
Before the agreement
ELBOX offered Mr. Frank Mariak that our programmers would prepare
drivers for various graphic chipsets, including Voodoo3 PCI, for
working with CyberGraphX. Such drivers would then be transferred in
the form of source codes written in assembler for Mr. Frank Mariak's
authorisation and distribution. We expected only making available
some developer's information related to CGX in return.
However, Mr. Mariak decided he would himself write the drivers
if we supported him with hardware and documentation. Which we did.
False information
in the announcement on selling rights to Voodoo drivers included
alleged expected technical problems related to implementation
of 3D drivers with our MEDIATOR PCI busboard.
Please note that none such problems exist. On our request,
Mr. Mariak was to report to us any possible problems related
to his development work… and he remained silent all the time.
Using Developer's Documentation
for MEDIATOR PCI and computer hardware (including Voodoo3 PCI card)
provided free of charge by ELBOX Computer as requested by Mr. Frank
Mariak for writing Voodoo3 drivers, as it turned out, for another
company is the clearest form of breaching rules of social life
and business honesty and integrity.
New business vision
On 13 Oct 2000, Mr. Frank Mariak signed an agreement on selling
the Voodoo3 drivers for benefit of another company. In contacts
with our company, Mr. Frank Mariak never mentioned any intention
of this kind on his part, never suggested such a possibility
and never asked for or negotiated any payment for his software
writing work. He never contacted us in this issue.
Then, out of the blue, he surprised us and all Amiga users with
making a "simple BUSINESS DECISION" (original quotation from
Mr. Mariak's response to our inquiry for explanation of the
VFD & DCE's announcement) on making an alliance with a third
party for selling the above rights.
We hope this explanation clarifies the situation.
Please make sure that we refrain from any comments of ethical
or whatever nature. The above are simple facts to make you all
aware of the plot behind the scenes.
ELBOX MOVES FORWARD
In the view of the circumstances described above, ELBOX Computer
hereby announces that our programmers shall prepare software
for supporting Voodoo3 cards in the MEDIATOR PCI busboards.
These drivers will be included in the software package for the
MEDIATOR PCI busboard. We expect completing work on the first
version of this software within two weeks.

New UAE-JIT Version for Linux
On October 14th, Bernie Meyer has released a new version of his JIT
compiler for UAE running on Linux. While the stock UAE only interprets
the 68k Amiga software, the JIT compiler converts the programs to x86
code at runtime, making them run significantly faster. This version,
code-named "Everton", contains the following changes:
- FPU support.
- SIGSEGV handler for direct memory access. This option offers the
best performance and is highly recommended.
- Optimisations and according speed increase
- better timing
- many improvements in the source code
The title link leads to several archives for Linux to download,
including source code.

V³, AmTelnet, Microdot-1-Source
Oliver Wagner has released on October 14th, 2000 in .plans on the V³ portal site
information regarding the current state of development of the web browser.
The V³ development proceeds well. Frames are supported again, and
the tuning of the deeper integrated layer- and cliprects-routines gave a
relevant speed boost for output and scrolling.
Soon there'll be a new release version after David Gerber has finished the
configurable popup menus.
Of AmTelnet there's a test version which is supposed to fix the problems with

Using the title link you find some helpful texts and also some configuration
files in the newly installed Amiga data base for SuSE Linux PPC (both versions).
Among other things it is now possible to use SAX and YAST2 under SuSE Linux PPC
on the Amiga,too. The data needed for that are ready for download on my homepage.
I also want to announce that in the next few days there'll be a kernel 2.2.10 for
all Linux_m68k users ready for download which also works with the Linux_m68k CD I
created.
