29.6.2001 Merlancia Industries announces Startegic Allliance with individual Computers
"Merlancia Industries is pleased to announce a strategic relationship with 'individual Computers'; to design a controller device that will be utilised on our Torro series systems.
The device, a custom chip controller, named 'CLeo' will be available as an add-on kit for the Pilot release systems (to be included with all systems shipping after it's release, and to be sent to all developer systems sold before-hand).
The 'CLeo" custom device is based on technology first implemented in individual Computers' 'CatWeasel' disc controller, and will allow the reading and writing of Amiga native disc formats (880k and 1760k) on our Tsunami system as well as future directives. Other formats will be supported as well including PC-DOS, and Macintosh-HFS.
We expect to have a prototype of this design at AmiWest Conference (28th to 29th July 2001- Sacramento, CA; USA) as well as our prototype Pilot system."

27.6.2001 AmigaOne-1200 Timeline updated
"It's now several months since this timeline was last updated as most of the day-to-day news items have been posted to the http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/amigaone mailing list. However lots of things have happened since we launched the AmigaOne project which have had an influence on the specification of the final product and therefore the timetable leading up to delivery."
The majority of the improvements come from Amiga's commitment to develop OS4.0 specifically to run on the AmigaOne-1200 at launch. This is far more than the 'fixed' version of OS3.9 that was originally envisaged (pending the development of the native PPC Amiga DE implementation that was originally planned). The new OS4.0 will come with a high performance file system, virtual memory, high performance PPC-native TCP/IP stack, 1GB main memory support, UDMA IDE and SCSI and ethernet drivers and Picasso96 2D retargetable drivers for VooDoo3 PCI/AGP and Matrox G450 PCI/AGP & G550 AGP only graphics cards. Warp3D/Mesa 3D drivers will also be shipped with the first release of OS4.0.
AmigaOne-1200 boards and OS4.0 should be available to dealers in 1st week of October. Read more

25.6.2001 DCE licenses Voodoo 3 Warp 3D drivers for its G-REX line of PCI products
Hyperion Entertainment is pleased to announce that it has entered into a license agreement with DCE, producers of the G-REX line of PCI hardware for the Amiga.
Under the agreement Hyperion will support DCE's G-REX 1200 and G-REX 4000 products with fully featured Warp 3D Voodoo 3 drivers for both 68K and PPC.
"We're very pleased that DCE has decided to respond to demand by its customers for Warp3D drivers for Voodoo 3", says Ben Hermans, managing partner of Hyperion Entertainment . "Amiga users currently have quite a number of PCI solutions to chose from and the manufacturers offering the widest range of drivers for their PCI solutions will clearly have a competitive advantage. From the large number of e-mails we have received, we can only conclude that the availability of 3D drivers is a key consideration for users when they make their decision to purchase a specific PCI solution. To avoid disappointment, we once again urge users interested in 3D graphics to investigate the availability of Warp3D drivers before purchasing a specific PCI solution."

22.6.2001 CD32 Games Install Kit for Windows
Windows News As some emulation sites already posted this news, here's the official annoucement for the Windows version of my CD32 Games Install Kit: It will work in connection with WinUAE and it will be available quite soon. The compatibility is very high because every game uses custom patches (just like in the Amiga version). Additionally you won't have to install the game, you can run it right from the CD although in some cases some files have to be copied (which need to be patched). CD audio support is not supported yet but will be added for sure later. The first version of the CD32 Games Install Kit 4.5 (Win32 1.0) can be expected in one week. But currently it will be only available for owners of the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM.

21.6.2001 PPC for Prometheus
As many people keep asking us questions about the CPU card for Prometheus, we decided to clarify some things.

1. Matay is not going to produce the PPC card by itself. We will choose among the CPU solutions available at the market (not necessarily "Amiga native" only). It would take too much time and concern to produce such a card, time we can spend providing you with other Amiga-specifict products. Why to invent wheel again?

2. The only problem to solve is software support to make the hardware cooperate with our PCI bridge. However, with the help of AmigaOS4 developers from Amiga Inc. it is not a problem at all. We will cooperate with them to make Prometheus+CPU card combo 100% compatible with the upcoming AmigaOS.

3. We are not limiting our support to one CPU card only. You should view a CPU card expansion the same as - for example - a graphics card expansion. More than one solution is possible.

4. The details will be announced after we finish talks with the CPU cards manufacturers. As we always state - no promises, only facts, so please be patient. In meanwhile, you can use Prometheus boards with the existing Amiga CPU cards. The software, i.e. AmigaOS4, will arrive later this year, so will our hardware to run it on.

19.6.2001 Special Kickstart show prices by mail order deadline extended until 25th July
"As you may have heard on the newsgroups & mailing lists the Kickstart show was a bit of a disappointment in terms of the turnout with less than 100 paying visitors in total. Next year they are going to make sure it is moved to avoid conflict with exam revision timetables and mid term holidays. Keep up the good work guys. The upside was that the 5 people who went down from Eyetech really were able to give a very personal level of service to those who visited our stand!
Of course it also meant that we did not sell as much as we anticipated, so we've decided to extend the 'Kickstart Show prices by mail order' offer until the 25th July or when the stock of special show priced items is exhausted.
Note that we are only able to offer these special prices for orders by phone, fax and email. Stocks of some products have been exhausted, so please enquire about availability before sending any money."

19.6.2001 Prometheus PCI expansion for Zorro3 Amigas will be in stock by 25th June
"We're particularly pleased to have struck a deal with Matay, the Polish makers of the Prometheus board as it enables A3000/A4000 (both desktop and tower systems) to gain 4 PCI slots for trading in just one Zorro slot. The board is shipped with 2D & 3D drivers for VooDoo graphics cards (also in stock), together with drivers for ethernet and sound cards, and an complete royalty-free SDK.
It is an incredibly well designed and manufactured board, (guaranteed for 5 years) and is the first PCI expansion board on any Amiga to get Hyperion's seal of approval for its 3-D support. A PPC add-in card is in the pipeline giving a PPC-based forward path for those users who want to retain Zorro 3 compatibility in their big-box Amigas." Read more

18.6.2001 AmigaOne SCSI standards
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. Read more

16.6.2001 Voodoo Driver Status
Thomas Frieden: "We have nearly everything converted to use the FIFO setup now, and as we've expected, the frame rate is now mostly independent of the resolution. At 800x600, the speed is exactly the same as in 320x240. Heretic 2 is still playable at 1024x768, although the Voodoo is beginning to slow down at that resolution. It looks like the Prometheus version will be the first one to be finished, hopefully next week, with the G-REX and hopefully Mediator drivers following shortly afterwards. The Prometheus version will be finished first, as the G-REX prototype setup had a small problem that prevented the FIFO from working, so we moved development to the Prometheus for the time being.
The Voodoo also looks a lot better than the Permedia (see the attached screenshots).
We've moved the development of Warp3D to the new gcc based StormC 4 now, which in itself already produces very good code, but it also enabled us to do inline assembly. Through some PPC assembly optimizations, we are now able to nearly saturate the bus with data, thus reaching nearly the maximum possible speed."

Check out the screenshots about this in the Features section. (The first screenshot is from Permedia2 and the second one is from the 3dfx card).

16.6.2001 (New) informations on GREX 4000 and MicroServer
René Thol has received some interesting informations from DCE on the G-Rex 4000 board and summarizes:
1. the GREX 4000 is ready, they're waiting only for the boards from the manufacturer.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. AGP extensions are not planned. The AGP slots of the AmigaOne will also work only through PCI with the resulting speed. (??????)
5 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.

At yesterday's rate the entire keyspace will have been searched in another 506 days, which shows that the effort is progressing much faster than in the first half. Also since the key could be anywhere in the keyspace, not finding it in the first half basically means we didn't get lucky, but also that chances of finding it are ever increasing. It could take over a year more (which is progressively getting more unlikely), or it could take another day..

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.

The new version (40.5) of the asyncio.library for WarpOS fixes a hopefully a little bug, that caused some troubles on a few Amigas. "Sorry, the last upload was corrupt. Hope, this time things will work." Download the archive from here.

MorphOS News Sigbjørn 'Magic CISC' Skjæret missed some batteries and all the shops were closed, so he decided to do a port of Alcuin, an emulator of the legendary HP48 calculator. Grab the source diffs and MorphOS binary here. It also requires the original archive with the tools, icons, sources, docs, etc.. from Aminet.

MorphOS News Since the nasty bug causing JS and image decoding crashes in the MorphOS version was squashed just after releasing 3.3.104, there's a new release. This version should work exactly like the 68k version, just several level of magnitudes faster. Get it here.

A new version of Microdot2 is also planned. Stay tunned.

9.6.2001 New Amiga Version of Tales Of Tamar
New version of Amiga client V0.36R1 finally allows players to directly fight with each other. In the past few weeks, players were able to annex land, and now some of those who got too little now start to equip armies to get their fair share. Because land is important for income, resources and power.
The first battle were already fought and the people of Tamar mourn thousands of victims. We can see how borders start to move and notice the intrigues, insults and blackmails among players. There are prices offered for the heads of certains Lords and other players are incited to join the battle.
From the fact that we are talking about real humans playing with each other, results a complexity never seen before. It is a thousand times harder to fool a real human than a simpleton computer player.
Only the best and most clever will truly master the game and raise up the rank list. If some player should finally reach the title of a emperor, then this is not only a title, but also honor the perfect mastery of politics, mathematics and strategy. The title is a prove of the intelligence, bravery and reliabilty of the player.
So be warned: the higher a player ranks, the more dangerous it will be to upset him.

Tales of Tamar is the internet based roundgame for Amiga, Atari, Linux/SDL and Windows by Eternity Entertainment Software.

"Several new companies and individual programmers have permitted us to upload their Amiga titles on AMI Sector One: Dana Dominiak from Webfoot Technologies granted the permission to upload all games from her former company called Image Tech: These games are the phantastic adventure called Dungeon Quest and the board game Kikugi. Although both titles were already released more than 10 years ago, they have wonderful graphics. Also Patrick J. Simmons allowed us to offer here his game Quiksilver Pinball which is a wonderful pinball simulation which has tables split over two screens. Btw: He coded Kikugi too. Besides I contacted Brian Leake from Namco. He granted the permission to upload his complex game Debut which was formerly published by Pandora. Finally I got in contact with Stephen Corry who is author of the popular "Soccer Cards" series for the Amiga. Now you can download his game Soccer Cards US 94. His other title League Soccer Cards was already online. A big thanks goes to contributors of this update! Apps: After a long time there are some new additions in the applications section: Colour It is a colouring book for children. With Crunchersdisk Vol. 1 and Megaboot you can crunch files or modify bootblocks of Amiga disks. Pumatracker is an interesting early soundtracker. And at last there is the rest of the LSD Docs Disks (45-65). Of course there are new game soundtracks, too: Check the Game Music Section for the new additions. Also there are some new coverscans: Iron Lord, Indiana Jones and the last Crusade CDTV, Loom CDTV, New Zealand Story, Skateball and WEC Le Mans.

3.6.2001 GUI for New STRICQ
"I have started work on STRICQ+! I only have a few lines of code written, it starts up, creates the UDP process, prints some debug and exits. [..] Finally, since the GUI will be 100% seperate from the rest of the program, the GUI can be anything, MUI or whatever. Also, since it is seperate, this opens up the field for someone else to write the GUI or even more than one person to write different GUI models. So if someone out there wants to volunteer to write a GUI, send me an email and we'll discuss the project. If no one wants to do this, I'll write the GUI myself, and I'm sure you are all aware of how beautiful my GUIs can look! :-) And, it probably won't be that different from what the current STRICQ looks like.
