Amiga: SCSI Driver for AmigaOS4
The AmigaOne specification contain an on-board IDE controller, but
much of the Amiga users use SCSI hardware (harddrives, CD drives, scanners).
That's why Amiga Inc.plans to develop a SCSI driver for the "NCR SCSI scripts chip"
for Amiga OS4.x (today, NCR is a subsidiary company of LSI Logic).
An internal document describing the reasons why these chips have been chosen was
published on the AmigaOne mailing list (title link). The same chip was utilized
in diverse Amiga products (e.g. in newer Phase5 acceleration cards).
These chips are to be of first class at Amiga Inc. at this time, but this decision
might change if a better solution would turn out.

Warp3D: Voodoo Driver Status
Amiga Extreme has published an e-mail by Thomas Frieden (Hyperion) in which he
reports the current status of the Voodoo driver for Warp3D.
The Warp3D team converted almost everything relating the use of the FIFO command.
As the team was suggested the frame-rate now majorly is independent from the resolution.
The speed at 800x600 is exactly the same as at 320x200.
Heretic 2 is still playable at 1024x768, but the Voodoo card starts to slow down from
this resolution.
Moreover the Voodoo version looks much better than the Permedia version.
(Screenshots (left: Permedia2, right: Voodoo)).
At this time it seems like the Prometheus version of the driver would be finished first.
This might happen next week already. The G-REX and hopefully the Mediator version, too,
will follow soon after.
The Prometheus driver will be the first because of the G-REX prototype had a little
problem preventing FIFO from working. So, development was done on the Prometheus board.
Development of Warp3D now is done using the new gcc basing StormC 4 which creates fine code, already.
Additionally it enables the use of Inline assembler. By some PPC assembler optimizations the Warp3D
team now can almost fill up the bus with data to almost reach the maximum performance.
Supplement 17 June 2001:
Ben Yoris (Hyperion) wrote on
ANN that
Hyperion will do a presentation of their own games on the Prometheus PCI board with
a Voodoo3 plugged in on the Benelux Amiga Show, which will take place on June 23rd, 2001.

MUI: NList.mcc V19.99 and V19.100
Under the title link you will find the long awaited bugfix for NList.mcc
fixing the wordwrap problem.
There are also new betas with noticeable higher speed to find there.
Especially inserting/removing of a lot of entries at once takes much time
in the list-view of NList.
That's why save and management routines were optimized. With some of the
operations NList now is up to 3.5 times faster than the old version.
Even the origin must surrender for some items (factor 1.2 - 1.3). But to
compare directly is not quite fair, since NList offers a lot of features more
and therefore has to calculate more, sometimes.
Furthermore NListtree of course benefits from the new performance.

Amiga Inc. and Matay announce Cooperation for AmigaOS/4
Amiga and Matay Announce AmigaOS/4 Cooperative
Snoqualmie, 16 June, 2001 - Amiga Inc and Matay company are pleased to
announce they are co-operating on a series of initiatives that will see the
AmigaOS4 family of operating systems running on Matay's existing and future
products.
At the St Louis show in April, Amiga announced the continued development of
AmigaOS, with AmigaOS4 moving AmigaOS3 to modern hardware and preparing the
way for AmigaOS5. AmigaOS5 will be targeted at both the home server and the
desktop/workstation markets.
"In developing AmigaOS4.0, we have been making extensive use of the
Prometheus PCI bridge board, to get a head start on developing drivers for
the various sub systems whilst we wait for the Eyetech AmigaOne to be
completed," said Fleecy Moss, CTO of Amiga Inc. "The quality of both their
product and support, and their commitment to the future of the Amiga has
made working with them a pleasure, and we look forward to this co-operation
intensifying over the next few years."
"We are very excited to work with Amiga Inc., the company that leads our
community into the new technological revolution. In the incoming years, we
will witness a breakthrough in digital home appliances, a trend to abandon a
single computer workstation in favour of several smaller, yet more
user-friendly devices. The revolution is coming, though we need to prepare
for it, like the Amiga market needs transition from our classic computers to
new technologies and standards. Amiga Inc. is the company that foresees
these trends and enters the digital future today. We are proud that our
Prometheus board, the first Zorro III PCI bridge for Amiga, helps them in
making these plans come true," said Filip Dab- Mirowski, CEO of Matay
company. "We will continue co-operation with Amiga Inc., not only providing
them with hardware solutions for today Amiga market but also working
together on products for the future digital market."
About Amiga:

revolutionised computing in 1984 with the introduction of the A1000, and has
consistently been at the cutting edge of the digital revolution ever since.
Currently it offers a complete solution for digital living, the AmigaDE
(Digital Environment) which provide a device and OS (host) agnostic,
universal, scalable content platform for OEMs and IHVs, consumers, producers
and brokers of digital content, and the AmigaOS, a 68k and PPC based
desktop, workstation and digital server platform for the most demanding of

#AmigaFun: HBMonopoly online game
The #AmigaFun IRC channel on ie.altnet.org organizes and manages the second
official HBMonopoly game of this month. It will take place on June 16th starting
6:00 pm.
The programmer of HBMonopoly will participate as well. HBMonopoly 2.6 is required.
This version will be available from some people on the #AmigaFun channel should
it not already be on the homepage.
The server which have to be configured in HBMonopoly will be named on the #AmigaFun
channel. Important: you have to know how HBMonopoly works. We'll only explain how
to log in. We'll assume that you have played at least one, two times against the
computer.
In future we'll organize more HBMonopoly games. There's already a #AmigaFun-internal
highscore list which you can have a look at on the #AmigaFun homepage. It will also
contain the top 5 of all HBMonopoly games we'll organize in the future.
It is possible that after some games there'll be a surprise for the best gamer. The
first HBMonopoly game starts Saturday June 16th, 2001 at 6:00 pm. Please note that
Monopoly may take several hours, so you should have a full version of your TCP client
(Miami, Genesis).
You'll find our #AmigaFun channel as follows:
You need an IRC client. For the Amiga there are AmIRC (shareware), BlackIRC (freeware)
and EpicIRC (freeware). On our homepage, you'll find download links. You just have to
enter:
Server: ie.altnet.org
Port: 6667
Channel: #amigafun
Should the server be down you can get access through the following server:
12.30.169.83 (please enter without "irc.").
You can find more information, especially for IRC novices, on the #AmigaFun homepage.
On this occasion I'd like to say that the homepage was entirely redesigned. You
can choose between German and English language.

or GENERATION special. For novices and those interested in the demoscene
the magazine is recommended also. SCENET has the magazine available for
download since it's available nowhere else.

Music: DARKAGE releases fix for LEGALIZE IT 2
The group Darkage, known in the Amiga demo scene for their intros, demos
and their disk mag Showtime, released yesterday a fix for the music disk
"Legalise it". This music disk was originally released in the early nineties
by the lengendary group Anarchy.
The programmer Reinhold "Stingray" Kloth has reworked the entire sourcecode
and allows owners of modern Amigas to experience the feeling of the demo
scene from 1992. SCENET hosts also the sixteenth issue of the English disk
mag 'Showtime' which is available here.

RC5-64 contest: Half-time! (Update)
The Amiga RC5 team participates now for four years in this worldwide contest
to crack a 64 bit key. That requires calculating up to 18,4 trillion possible
keys. Half of the total key count has now been calculated. The Amiga RC5 team
did not get lucky after 1331 days, but are currently advancing 2,5 times
faster than the average for the first half, and chances of finding the key
before the whole keyspace is searched are progressively getting better and
better.
The Amiga RC5 team is on rank 7 of thousands of teams and has more than 2500
participants with more than 5000 computers. Read the entire
press release
for more details.

PC: ADF view
The ADF View is a Shell Namespace extension, which opens up the .ADF file
extension. ADF files are Amiga Disk Files, or image dumps of AmigaDOS
formatted disks. These files are used by most Commodore Amiga emulator
software.
Because ADF View is a namespace extension, it is integrated right into
the Windows Explorer. Double-clicking on an ADF file brings up the
familiar folder view, where you can copy, move, delete, recover and
rename files as you would usually do with normal PC files. You can
also drag'n'drop files from any Windows folder to an ADF folder, and
back.
ADF View works with Amiga floppy images and hard disk images. It even
detects Amiga hard drives attached to your computer and adds a new drive
icon to the "My Computer" folder under Windows NT/2000.
New and empty disk images can be created using a Wizard under the Shell
New commands (The File/New sub-menu in the Windows Explorer).

(New) informations on GREX 4000 and MicroServer
René Thol has received some interesting informations from DCE on the G-Rex 4000 board
and summarizes:
- the GREX 4000 is ready, they're waiting only for the boards from the manufacturer.
- the GREX 4000 replaces the the daughterboard (ISA-, ZIII- and videoslots) on the motherboard and is connected with the port for the CVPPC on the Cyberstorm board.
- the TV board drivers for the GREX are still in the works and are thus no longer mentioned in the GREX advertising since only finished drivers are advertised there.
- AGP extensions are not planned. The AGP slots of the AmigaOne will also work only through PCI with the resulting speed.
- The planned DCE Microserver will be plugged later in one of the PCI slots and features two SDRAM slots with 133 MHz bus speed. It can be used as busmaster and has access to the entire Amiga hardware. Sadly, a Cyberstorm board already working in the Amiga has still to be used
and its processors can not access the SDRAM (buswidth through PCI too narrow). Because of a CPU socket, more current CPUs than the G3/G4 can be used later. Existing PPC applications won't run immediately on the new CPUs (due to addressing and such) but have to be be adapted through (minor) changes in the sourcecode and a special library.

Heise: mp3PRO: MP3 Successor joining the Race
»Since today, 14th June, the first official demo version of the designated
MP3 successor mp3PRO is available for free download on Coding Technologies' website.
The "RCA Demo mp3PRO Player/Encoder 1.0" plays Mp3(PRO) files as well as wav-files.
The latter can also be converted to the new mp3PRO format at a non-varying bit-rate
of 64 kbit/s. The new and downwards compatible format augurs a substantial better
quality of sound at low bit-rates, due to "spectral band replication" (SBR).

Back to the Roots: Download Hours Fixed
BTTR downloads now disabled 2/3 of each day!
Our archive files will only be available for download from
06:10 to 13:10 GMT (may vary), but they should work at full
speed then. We are not happy about this, but unless we find
some sponsors, we have to prevent our archive from being closed
down by this action. If we find we can extend the times outward
more, we will.
The entire content of the site (except all downloads, full-size
pictures and the mod player) will continue to work the entire
day. The same applies to the Aminet downloads, as they are not
stored on these servers.
If you are willing to help us by either donating money to pay
parts of our traffic, by purchasing targeted advertising at our
site or by providing us a fast dedicated *nix server somewhere
else, please contact traffic@back2roots.org.
Several thousand people visit this site each day, and create
the enormous traffic together. Some download more, some download
less. It would be nice if a few of you could also help us to keep
this monster comfortable for people of all time zones.
Many of you have surely noticed that most of the gaming archive
sites were closed down recently. These sites all paid their
traffic by advertising. So did we. However, this does not work
for archive sites anymore, since advertising prices dropped
horribly worldwide.
We have several ideas in the queue to find an income to finance
this site for your convenience. Just none which will work fast
enough. So please also contact us if you want to provide temporary
help.
To all companies who have licensed games to be offered at our
site for free: BTTR will continue to be a non profit project,
and we did never earn a single pence with it, and we will
continue to do so.

New Screenshots of the AmigaDE GUI
Under the title link there is a posting by Fleecy Moss (AmigaOne mailing list) along
with several pictures attached to the mail.
Matt Chaput (together with other people) in deed has been authorized to design the new
GUI.
Fleecy explained that "of course these still are prototypes and eventually will be 'skinnable'
(configurable with skins). But the pictures should give a good impression of where things are
going".
Update: (08.08.2012, cg)
Added the two screenshots mockups that could still be found on the net. (ps)

A new virus disguise as Windows-folder - while opening it shows a directory but in the background it installs a "Trojan horse".
[...]
The mail has the subject-line "Welcome you to" and it contains an attachment "iwantyou.exe".

In order to get rid of the virus you should delete the files "angel.exe" and "angel.dll" in the Windows/system-directory and reboot the computer.

"Currently there is a driver for the X-Surf in development with which you can implement PPPoE based DSL in each TCP/IP stack (also the "ordinary" Miami, Genesis and AmiTCP). Currently the driver is in the alpha-phase but will be adapted to each possible PPPoE-implementation".

Amiga Arena news
Amiga Arena full versions
With permission of Stefan Berge Amiga Arena publishes the full
version of "FileCutter". "FileCutter" enables you to divide
files of any size into as many pieces as you like.
Because of that it is possible to transport a 4 MB big file which you
cannot archive to spread on 5 disks (720 kb).
In the newest version it works with files which were divided by
NortonCommander on a PC. A great thanks to Andreas Magerl who placed
the full version at your disposal.
Amiga Arena pre-release
The popular Workbench-game "ArTKanoid" (breakout clone) of Thilo
Köhler is exclusively online in version 1.2 right before Aminet.
Amiga Arena updates
"Blade" which is an action-RPG-game of Mark Sheeky is ready for download
in the harddrive-version. Exclusively in the German version.
Amiga Arena - "The Boss": German catalog
The German locale for "The Boss" was created by Richard Kapp and is
in the archive.
Amiga Arena special price action
In co-operation with Nemeth Miklos Amiga Arena makes a special price
for "LangTools" possible. With "LangTools" you can translate texts.
You can easily load a text and simultaneously translate the text with
an editor.
You can choose between several languages and more will follow.
"LangTools" is already in development and author Nemeth is looking
forward to your feedback.
Amiga Arena interview action
At the same time an interview with Nemeth Miklos which is the developer
of "LangTools" went online. (ps)

Matt Chaputs notions to GUI-design for AmigaDE
Under the title link you can find a document called AmigaUI Look.
It was created by Matt Chaput which is the GlowIcon-designer. Looking at the first paragraph you can only suppose that Matt concerned with the GUI for AmigaDE at least in October 2000.
In section "Work" of his website you can also find the site Amiga GUIs which contains some screenshots of his notions:
Screen mock-up #1
Screen mock-up #2
Single window- and control elements
If Matt Chaput did it on behalf of Amiga Inc or just for fun and if he concerns with it today is unfortunately not known.

ASA - Amiga Software Archive (work in progress)
We will revive amiga-software.com on our server. Until its shutdown it
was a regularly used service with an easy and fast overview about the
latest Amiga software.
We want to continue this with the ASA (Amiga Software Archive). Users
and coders can present helpful programs, tools and utilities with a short
description. The visitor will get also information about system
requirements (CPU, memory, OS, PPC, ...) and of course the link for the
related homepage and email address of the author - every author can
change and delete his entry via ID and password at any time.
The coding of the system will be finished next week, so from then on
you can make entries into it.
We need the support of experienced users, who will offer up some of
their freetime for administration and control of the latest entries.
If you are interested, please send an email to us:
asa@synotec-newmedia.de.

News from Thorsten Willert
First you can get a fix of his HTML preprocessor extension in the GoldED WebWorld menu,
that you can use together with "CompressHTML".
Second he is looking for a new name for "CompressHTML", because the old name does not
fit anymore with the new functions.
Third the following of his AREXX programs are now public domain:
- Auto-Font-List
- FWTabTools
- FileInfo
- GH_Browser
- MakeSuffix
Because of lack of time Thorsten Willert can not develop them any further.
If you want to continue the development of these projects, he will give you
a helping hand to start.
Who wants to continue the AmigaOSGuide? It is an Amiga DOS manual, with dictionary.
State: OS 3.1. If you are interested, send an email to Thorsten Willert.

AMIGA celebrates First SDK anniversary with special offer (Executive Update)
Greetings to members of the Amiga Family:
Wow, what a year it has been!
In the coming weeks we are going to see the releases of not one
but three new Amiga Products!:
- AmigaOne PPC /1200 - On Schedule and Rockin'
- AmigaOS 4.0, and shortly thereafter AmigaOS 4.2 on schedule and will
offer the next generation of Amiga desktop - on PPC!
- AmigaDE 1.1 so the rest of the world may begin to learn the power of
Amiga - For Cell Phones, PDA's, and other portable devices.
Because of overwhelming e-mails and suggestions, Amiga Incorporated
is pleased to announce the AmigaOne, AmigaOS 4.0, 4.2, and AmigaDE
pre-release party pack!
Here is how you can participate with this party pack.
Starting June 11th and ending June 16th 2001 Amiga family members
can purchase a pre-release version of AmigaDE for $99.00 (US plus
tax and handling), you will receive one year of updates, the SDK,
a bundle of sample applications and games, and the ability to start
using DE on Windows or Linux desk tops.
Next you can pick from either a $100.00 (US) discount coupon on an AmigaOne
PPC/1200 for use at your local dealer, or you can receive BOTH AmigaOS 4.0
and AmigaOS 4.2 for FREE!
That's right, for one week only purchase the pre-release of AmigaDE,
get the SDK, and all the trimmings and select either a $100.00 (US)
discount on a new AmigaONE, OR AmigaOS 4.0 and AmigaOS 4.2 for FREE.
It's your choice, and it is available today at: AmigaMall
Sincerely,
Bill McEwen

Virus Help Denmark: xvs.library V33.25
The xvs.library (External Virus Support Library) has been updated today.
Alex van Niel has decided to stop programming the xvs.package but will
still update VirusChecker when he has the time. Alex got a new job that
takes almost all his time. At this time I got very cold feet... Where would
we find a new programmer that know something about viruses ? Or even
worth, should we stop "Virus Help Denmark", without programmers to
make antivirus programs, where would we be ??? And where would
YOU BE ???????
So we went out looking for a new programmer to update the xvs.library.
And with Georg Hoermann's approval we offered the code to a great guy,
Jan Erik Olausen (The programmer of VirusExecutor), and he said YES :-)
PLEASE..... read the PS at the bottom of this email......
So, Jan has been rather busy in the last 4 weeks with adding new viruses
and looking at the code for xvs. And now his first release is ready.
Here is some info about the release:
Name : xvs.library v33.25
Archive name : xvslibrary.lha
Archive size : 54.743 bytes
Release date : 10 June 2001
Programmer : Jan Erik Olausen
Email : virusexecutor@c2i.net
News for 33.25:
- Added Zakahackandpatch File virus
Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files.
- Added Bobek! Link virus
Thanks to Jan Andersen, Frank and Zeeball for the files.
- Added Bastard Installer 1 Data virus,
Bastard Installer 2 File virus,
Bastard Link virus.
Thanks Jan Andersen and Zeeball for the files.
Thanks to Zeeball for the info on this virus and for the decrypt
and memory removal routines.
- Added 212 Bytes Link virus
Thanks to Jan Andersen for the file.
- Fixed bug in recognition code for DKG-Blum file virus.
Thanks to Jan Andersen for reporting this.
- Added Bobek2 Installer File virus
Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni for telling me about this file.
The library has changed programmer, although Georg does keep all
copyrights and remains owner of the sources, I (Jan Erik Olausen)
will continue development. See the README file for my contact
address.
Thanks to Georg Hörmann and Dirk Stoecker for helping me out with
fixing bugs in the source. I couldn't have done this without there help :o)
Download shortcut.
STILL TO DO:
- Add Bobek2 Link virus.
- Add Neurotic Death 1 - 5. These five linkviruses are polymorphic,
but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files.
It seems that they haven't been spread to the public, I received them
anonymously from the author. So it's not that BIG danger at the moment.
- Try to get and add GlobVec linkvirus. The only one who has it is Heiner
Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't
give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :(
Remember to join the Amiga antivirus maillist for free. Just send
an empty email to: vht-dk-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
To leave the maillist, just send an empty email to: vht-dk-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.
You can find this update at Virus Help Denmark & Virus Help Team Canada now,
and on Aminet within the next 24 hours.....
PS: If you think that Jan Erik Olausen is doing one hell of a job, with keeping you Amiga
secure for viruses, then send him a little donation. I know that xvs.library and VirusExecutor
is freeware, but Jan has done one hell of a job in the last 6 month, to add new virus recog.
in VirusExecutor and now with xvs.library. Send him 4 or 5 US-$, a postcard and even
flowers, if you think he is doing a great job, and would like to keep the xvs.library alive...... (ps)

Virus Help Denmark: VHT-DK Bobek-2 Linkvirus found (update)
Supplement 13 June 2001
Accidently the wrong text for this news message was published. I replaced
that with the correct text, now. I apologize for this bad mistake.
mj
Here the proper message:
VHT-DK think to have found the installer of the link virus 'Bobek2'.
The respective archive was on Aminet, but meantime has been removed.
But there might be other infected archives, so be careful!
Known so far:
Archive name : Footro.lha
Archive size: 2.924 bytes
Archive info : Borntro from new A500 team Footro is looking for skilled A500 coders.
Installer name : 4k
Installer size : 2.784 bytes (stonecracker 4.04 packed)
Installer size : 3.316 bytes (unpackt)
Virusname : Bobek2 Linkvirus
Virus size : ca. 1036 bytes (uses polymorphic engine)
In the unpacked file you can read:
>------------------------------ CUT TEXT ------------------------------
xxxxxxxxxxx proudly presents BOBEK2 - The first binary virus for Amiga!
Credits - main coding by xxxxxxxx, polyengine by xxxxxx, installer-tool
and timer.device coding by xxxxxx! We are the best! Powered by Asm-One!
Enjoy! That is only preview of our metamorphic engine!
>------------------------------ CUT TEXT ------------------------------
Virus Help Denmark replaced the names with 'xxxx'. Thy don't want to promote
virus programmers. "They should make use of
there programming skills and make some useful programs", Jan Andersen wrote
in his mail.
Since the file could not be started the people of VHT-DK tried
an old A500 on which the virus was spread to other files.
At this time there is no cure for the virus 'Bobek2', but Jan
Erik Olausen is working for a way to make a recognition for the 'Bobek2' linkvirus.
