new Project: IMP - Amiga as Open Source
Volker Mohr writes:
Some days ago, when Jim Collas (was made) left, I suggested to find a sollution saving
the Amiga plattform as Open Source, even if the people at Gateway have different
opinions of the future, or worse still, none at all.
My original suggestion was using CHRP as hardware basis for new computers,
simply because being independant from a single manufacturer of hardware. As OS,
a specially modified and expanded version of an Open Source OS (Linux or a BSD) could
be employed.
Aside from criticism, I recieved much more support, have been contacted
and mailed if I mean it seriously and how it could be done.
A team has slowly emerged, which started a project with the preliminary
title "Project IMP" (Independent Multimedia Platform). First ideas and plans have been
collected by me in recent days, and released at the title link.
If you want to participate, have own ideas etc. please contact me. Since
we only have a chance if we make it public, I decided to to so after talking to two
other team members. I think it's about time to take our favourite computer's fate into
our own hands, and save what can be saved :-(
AROS, KOSH, AQUA, IMP, what's coming next? One of these projects could have been
finished already if people weren't bickering about which project to join... :-( (mb)

End of int. Amiga User-List
Stefan Instinske writes:
Due to the new situation, I hereby announce that I close down the international Amiga-User List.
Even if the news are not correct (which I don't believe), I don't see any sense in such a list
anymore, with Amiga users leaving daily, making the data quickly outdated. If someone is
interested in continuing the list, please contact me, you will get all necessary data.

new Version akMPEG Player 3.00
It's not only extremely fast now, but also quite compact: the 8 players (4x68k,
4xPPC) have been merged into now only 2 remaining executeables, which brings
the archive size down to only ~120 KB. Looping now is possible as well.
There also shouldn't be (m)any bugs left ;) Download:

Version Watch Offline... for duration?
I am frustrated. I am angry. I feel really sick about the
ongoings - or lack thereof - at Amiga Inc.
And I don't see any sense in investing considerable amounts of
time in this Amiga-related project right now.
The Version Watch will be down until further notice. The only
Amiga-related activity I will currently maintain is my work at
amiga-news.de. If things brighten up at Amiga Inc., I will
reestablish the Version Watch.
If not, I might turn this into a Linux service. Perhaps. Maybe.
Damn, they really killed me with this one. :-(

Wanted: Quantum Atlas II 2.1GB UW-SCSI
Stefan Robl writes:
Since my system disk, which contains all my software developments (including some larger,
unreleased ones!!) is gone due to hardware problems with another hard drive, and unfortunately
my streamer backup is corrupt, I ask for help here.
A data rescue expert told me that an exchange of HD boards might help, so I could
access the data again. My HD is a "Quantum Atlas II 2.1GB UW-SCSI".
If anybody has this HD (working!) and is willing to sell it to me should contact
me ASAP: Phone +49 - (0)9634 / 1539, eMail: stefan.robl@tirnet.de.
I am willing to pay a reward for successful data restore. If you own a HD of this time,
please contact me! Many thanks!!!
PS: All my eMails are affected, too!! All users of my programs, please re-contact
me, I also lost all addresses!!)

Is the AmigaNG coming or not?
In his Amiga Aktuell Special, Carsten Schröder writes:
So far, the article from Businessweek Online, which drew so much attention
recently, has neither been confirmed nor denied officially. Several sources, however,
indicate that an official statement by AMIGA is planned for this Tuesday. Meanwhile,
Stuart Walker of the programmer team Digital Images, which already has announced games
for the Amiga MCC, is cited by a Gateway employee: "I am going to wait until we hear
some news from within Amiga. I was told that the AmigaMCC was definitely going ahead".
Shortly after Jim Collas resigning as AMIGA President and CEO, Digital Images had
canceled Amiga MCC game development, only to take back this descission a short time
afterwards.
Bottom line, confusion is perfect. We will have to wait until Tuesday,
to recieve clarification (at best) about the AmigaNG future.
