novosti.1prvul,
Kao sto vidite malo sam promenio spisak tema (razno je
ponovo na kraju spiska kao sto treba da bude, izbacene su
neke teme koje nisu naisle na vece interesovanje u prethodnoj
konferenciji...)...
Naravno, ako ima predloga za nove teme ili za vracanje starih,
cim se pokaze da postoji interesovanje (citaj: broj poruka) bice
otvorene.

Najzad jedna nova vest u vezi sudbine Komodora - mada, meni posle ovih 10
meseci čekanja izgleda suviše lepa da bi bila istinita :)

@BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZFinally the circus is over!!!
COMMODORE HAS BEEN BOUGHT!

I T ' S P A R T Y T I M E!!!!
The newer ending story has finally ended.
The circle is now complete
COMMODORE BUSINESS MACHINES have finally been bought by one of the compedators.
Just a couple of hours ago i spoke to a friend, who had been spoken to
David Plesance, and as you all might have understood, David Plesance is
the ugly muthafukka who bought COMMODORE!!!
He said that Commodore finally have accepted his offer to buy major parts
of the company.
He also said that the plans that he talked 'bout earlier still countz
To B continued!!

mada sam bio nesto skeptican,posto sam tamo cuo i za to da su amigu 1400

nadamo da Amiga international zaista postoji i da ce se sto pre otpoceti sa

Hm, a jel bi mogao da pogledaš cene CD-ROM drajvova za A1200

PCMCIA interfejs, omogućava priključivanje Mitsumi CD drajvova), kao i
cene CD-ova sa PD/Shareware softverom za Amigu - konkretno, cene Aminet,

Takođe, dobro bi mi došle adrese firmi _u Švajcarskoj_ koje ih

The next generation Amiga
Chris Ludwig was one of the last people working for Commodore before the
company went bust. Here he gives a fascinating insight into Commodore's
plans and what the future might hold for the next generation of Amigas.
AF: As we understand it, the Hewlett Packard RISC chip had been chosen as
the basis for future Amiga development?
CL: That is correct.
AF: The new AmigaDos would NOT be compatibile with the existing software?
CL: That's correct, people would have to recompile their existing software.
But, again because of the chip's degree of compatibility with the 68000
line that shouldn't be a gargantuan effort.
AF: The specifications of AAA seemed pretty impressive. Is the custom RISC
really that much better than AAA?
CL: Oh yes, definitely. Our system will beat the pants off a Saturn. We've
designed i around being a really fantastic system, exercising the best
of the resources that Commodore's always had. We've got some really
good stuff planned.
Sve u svemu nova masina ce imati AmigaDos, "with the capability of running
Windows NT as well", bolja rezolucija od konzola, texture mapping, itd...
- Braben uskoro izbacuje Frontier:The New Encounters. Znaci novi brodovi,
poboljsane scene borbe, isti cilj.
- Grandslam radi na Wolf 3D klonu za sada jos bez imena koja bi trebala da
se pojavi oko maja/juna.
- ShockWave poklanja A4000/2MBchip/16MBfast/40mhz + lightwave.
- Opisi SCSI diskova za A1200
- Navodno Personal Paint 6.1 moze da pravi stereograme. Pa ako neko ima
neka javi.
- Ko je video Nexus 7 sigurno se seca Plasma Zoom-a. E sad - pay attention
to the message that crops up half-way through the demo:"Use your
perception to penetrate the void of your mind". If you're one of those
people who can read stereograms, put your eyes into focusing mode you use
and stare at he Plasma Zoom. Freaky freaky.
- Kuciste za A1200 - izvadi se ceo motherboard iz standardne A1200 i stavi
u 400ú vredno kuciste. Time se gubi: PCMCIA slot, internal IDE mounting,
HD/floppy access lights, a dobija se: five Zorro II slots, seven HD
mounting slots, clock display, real-time clock.
I jos cene. Skupo je.
Blizzard 1220/4 229.95ú
4Mb for 1220 169.95ú

Ja sam ranije poslao Stone Cracker u grupu.
Niko nista nije komentarisao.
Evo nekih uporedjenja. Kompresovao sam Page Stream 3.0
(originalna duzina 1 145 391) sa raznim programima i dobio:
sa Turbo Imploderom 4.0 413 772
Power Packerom 4.30 457 492
Stone Crackerom 396 292
Crunchmania 1.9t 368 836
Dakle najbolja je Crunchmania, ali ni Stone Cracker nije los.
A Stone Cracker mnogo brze dekompresuje.

Malo svežih glasina o sudbini Komodora (friško sa Interneta) - i dalje se
ništa ne zna, ali izgleda da Escom ima mnogo ozbiljniju ulogu nego što se
mislilo. Naime, kao osnova za (finalnu) licitaciju biće verovatno uzeta njihova
ponuda, a koliko sam razumeo, oni su otkupili i neka prava od C= Germany.
Inače, jedan od menadžera Escoma je bivši direktor Commodore Germany.
Ovaj put informacije su malo pouzdanije, sa Interneta (tačnije, WWW Amiga
Home Page-a), većina potiče od J. Comptona, urednika Amiga Reporta (btw, izašao
je i AR 3.05, ali, naravno, ne kod nas :( )

Ne znam, za mene je davno prošlo :) Skoro sve na disku kompresovano
PP-om sam prebacio u Crunch Maniu :)
Nego, danas mi se nešto čudno desilo sa Powerpackerom. Naime, rešio
sam (po ko zna koji put :) ) da instaliram PageStream 2.2. Kada sam ga
prekopirao na hard, i startovao, sve je bilo OK. Međutim, kada sam hteo
ga pečujem na 2.21, video sam da je kompresovan PowerPackerom 4.0.
OK, kažem ja, uđem u DOpus, dekrančujem ga XFDDecrunchom...
Startujem iz WB-a, javi mi "Can't open your tool: PageStream2"! Učitam
PowerPacker 4.0, raspakujem ponovo, startujem - zakuca mi mašinu!!! Nema
čak ni gurua, samo počne da učitava, blokira se, ekran se zacrni, nešto
kvrcne i upali se dioda flopija ?!? Ponovo sam ga raspakovao
XFDDecrunchom, probao da startujem iz CLI-ja, međutim javlja mi grešku
-1?!? Takođe, patch nije hteo da se "primi".
Ako neko zna šta bi moglo biti, neka pomaga - čak sam pola sata
pretraživao disk svim mogućim virus čekerima (ništa, naravno). Znam
pouzdano da sam ranije mogao da ga otpakujem i pečujem (na A500).
Još nešto: kako se menja default screen font (u PStreamu 2)? Topaz 8
je premali za interlace...

Arhiver za Amigu LZX 1.00 sam dobio uz preporuku da je to
najnoviji (pojavio se februara 1995.) i najbolji arhiver.
Spakovan je u LhA arhivu duzine 130904 bajta, a raspakovana
arhiva je ukupno 271058. Odmah sam pozeleo da probam novi
arhiver LZX i istu arhivu spakovao sa njim. Dobio sam,
neverovatno, ali istinito, samo 69338 bajta. Skoro duplo
bolje od LhA. To me je odmah odusevilo, a koga ne bi.
Radi se o Evaluation verziji, pa je saljem ovde.
Postoji naravno i bolja registrovana verzija, ali je za
sada nema niko u YU. Ali i ovako je najbolji.
Program sam dobio od SysOp-a Hot House-a, kojina zalost jos
ne radi. Cim bude proradio javicu.

Proverio sam pre pisanja i slanja poruke. Kompresija je bila lh5.
Da ne bude zabune podatak za LZX je u stepenu kompresije -3
(dakle najboljem), kao sto se radilo i o najboljoj kompresiji
za LhA (lh5).
Neverovatno. Proveri i sam!

Doduse nije uvek tolika razlika, ali je UVEK BOLJI od bilo koga

:)) A ne radi se o fraktalnoj kompresiji! Tajna je u onome "merged".
Program postiže toliki stepen kompresije time što sve fajlove praktično
spaja u jedan, koji se zatim kompresuje. To naravno ima svojih prednosti
(znatno veći stapen kompresije nego kod "običnih" arhivera), ali i
svojih mana - veća potrošnja memorije, što je još gore, postoji
mogućnost da ako jedan fajl iz arhive bude oštećen, propadnu i svi
ostali fajlovi (iza njega) :(
Ipak, vredi probati ovaj program, radi na svim mašinama, a autori
tvrde (što je lako proveriti) da je brži i da bolje kompresuje od bilo
kog arhivera za Amigu (a i za PC) :)

I ja potvrđujem ovu priču. Pri raspakivanju nekih većih komandnih fajlova
skratio mi ih je za punih 14 Kb i pri tom, naravno, potpuno upropastio!
Zašto to radi, nemam pojma, pretpostavljam da je u pitanju bag. Verzija
je 1.8r i nema nikakvih opcija za eventualno (ne)uklanjanje hunkova.
Za one koji ne znaju, tako kompresovani fajlovi nisu propali. Da biste ih
uspješno dekompresovali, koristite neki program koji raspakuje pomoću
xfdmaster.library, unpack.library ili neke slične koja ima 'CrM command
file decrunch' rutinu.

Pa nije baš da nije - ta fora se maltene oduvek koristi na Unixu -
prvo 'arhiviraš' fajlove tar-om (tj. povežeš ih u jedan), a onda ih
kompresuješ (compressom ili gzipom). Verovatno nešto slično može da se
postigne i LHA-om, treba probati da se par fajlova prvo join-uje, pa tek
onda arhivira, baš me zanima koliki bi se stepen kompresije dobio u
odnosu na standardni metod.
Uzgred, LHA je definitivno prevaziđen - čak i krančeri poput Crunch
Manije bolje pakuju od njega... Ali zato, uskoro stiže LHA 3.0 :)

Hvala!
Svi smo mi zeljni da vidimo sta je novo, ali...
- TurboCalc version 2.1 is released now. - ovo sam citirao samo
jedan deo teksta. Zasto? - Zato sto se to pojavljuje u svim
AmyNews koje ja imam, odavno, a odavno se i pojavio Turbo Calc
2.1 pa i 3.0. I ne samo da se pojavio, nego ga i vecina od nas
ima.
Dakle potpuno neaktuelno.
Ako se uporede AmyNews brojevi 13 i 14 vidi se da je velika
vecina teksta identicna. Stvarno novi tekst je samo 17440 bajta,
a 229524 bajta je potpuno identicno. Pojavljuju se tekstovi
koji su potpuno isti kao i u prvim brojevima AmyNewsa i koji
su sada potpuno neaktuelni.
Da ne bude zabune - ponovo se zahvaljujem Mikisu koji je
poslao ovaj tekst, a sve moje kritike su upucene na adresu:
Henrik Jensen, Editor-In-Chief. AmyNews 95, koji ponavlja
iste tekstove.

Veći, ali ni blizu onoga koji se dobija LZX-om. Probao sam.

Svejedno, stepen kompresije mu neće biti drastično veći u odnosu na LhA
ni u slučaju drugih 'data' fajlova.

Ja, nisam imao tih memorijskih problema do sad.. Bez problema sam pakovao
arhive od 800 kb.. Nego mozda ti neki program nije vratio memoriju kako treba,
a verovatno zavisi i od duzine samih fajlova u arhivi.. :)
Jedan savet.. pre pakovanja resetuj komp. pa onda lepo natenane :))

Nije 1.1 nego 1.01 - osim ako nisam nešto propustio. Iskreno rečeno, stvar
mi je malo smrdela pošto nigde u dokumentaciji nisam video da se pominju
razlike između 1.0 i 1.01, a i neki lamer koji je to slao snimio je verzije za
020/030 i 040/060 po dva puta, pod različitim imenima. Međutim, dužine fajlova
kod v1.0 i 1.01 se (prilično) razlikuju, tako da je stvar verovatno OK... Ne
znam da li da šaljem ovde, ili da čekamo 1.1 :)

Najzad je gotovo!!! (ili možda nije?!) Escom je novi vlasnik koKomodora!
Doduše, postoje izvesne šanse da se to ne desi, ali su one prilično male...
Na aukciji koja je održana 21. aprila kreditori su odlučili da prihvate
Escomovu ponudu (od nekih 10-ak miliona $). Osim njih, u "trci" je bio Dell,
jedan od najvećih američkih proizvođača PC klonova. Commodore UK tim se povukao
odmah na početku aukcije, izjavljujući da će sarađivati sa onim ko pobedi. CEI
se takođe povukao, nadajući se da će uspeti da dobije trku pod posebnim
uslovima, ali teško da će se to desiti...
Šta to znači za budućnost Amige? To, na žalost, retko ko može da kaže... Za
sve ovo vreme Escom je izbegavao kontakte sa Amiga korisnicima, mada tvrde da
će se proizvodnja Amiga NASTAVITI (kažu da se nove Amige mogu očekivati za 3
meseca). Osim toga, nameravaju da obnove proizvodnju C64-orki (!!!), za kinesko
tržište, kao i da proizvode PC i Mac klonove pod Komodorovim imenom.
Uz poruku je specijalno izdanje Amiga Reporta posvećeno aukciji, gde ćete
moći sve detaljno da pročitate.

From: Petar Cuckovic
To: all Mark:
Subj: Amiga klon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a transcript of parts of an advert which appeared in the German
"Amiga Magazin" (2/95):
[DraCo is an "Amiga clone" produced by MacroSystem. (MacroSystem
Computer Trading GmbH, Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 85, 58454 Witten. Tel. (0
23 02) 8 03 91. Fax (0 23 02) 8 08 84 ) ]
[...]
DraCo comes without the Amiga custom chips. These are replaced by
powerful soft- and hardware components. So for instance the function of
the Amiga blitter is filled by the several times faster blitter of the
NCR graphic processor.
[...]
Price and date of shipping is not yet 100% decided. We believe the
shipments will start in the spring of 1995 -in sequence of the orders.
[...]
The basic set up (68060, DraCo-Retina, CD-ROM) will lie in the same
price range as an expanded 4000.
[...]
DraCo -Technical data
Possibilities: Classic Amiga uses, professional video-workstation
Processor: MC 68060
Housing: Full-size tower
Operating system: AmigaOS and others (UNIX-ports)
I/O: Fast SCSI-II with 53C270, parallel-port
Card slots: 2 DraCo-direct-interfaces (32 bit, > 20 MB/s) for
DraCo-Retina and DraCo-VLab Motion, 5 Zorro II slots for Toccata,
Ethernet etc.
Drives: Delivered with CD-ROM, other SCSI-units (Hard drives, floppies,
streamer) optional.
Graphics: Delivered with DraCo-Retina (which is also necessary) (120
MHz pixel frequency, data rate > 180 MB/s, 24 bits)
RAM: 4-128 MB own RAM (PS2-Module)
Software compatibility: Amiga software which can run with graphic cards
(System friendly programming)
DraCo-VLab Motion: Software compatible HighEnd-MJPEG-Card, data rate to
100% JPEG.

Trebalo bi ipak imati u vidu da 2 Mb ram-a na Amigi zamenjuje uglavnom 4
na PC-u.
Ako se dobro secam sta mi je drugar rekao, kada se startuje Imagine na
Amigi 1200 i na PC 386DX/4 Mb ram-a, na Amigi ostane cak nesto vise
slobodne memorije nego na PC-u..
Dakle, ako je 4 Mb na PC-u dovoljno za ozbiljan rad, dovoljno je (za
pocetak) i 2 Mb na Amigi.
A i moj maturski je OZBILJAN rad ;)))))

Bilo nekad :(( Danas 2 MB ni na Amigi DEFINITIVNO nije dovoljno...
Svi noviji programi (Final Writer, Wordworth, Photogenics, Real,
Imagine, DOpus 5...) traže toliko memorije da rad sa 2 MB postaje pravo
mučenje :( Iskreno rečeno, prestao sam da koristim svoju Amigu za bilo
šta ozbiljnije dok ne nabavim barem još 2 MB memorije i veći hard disk.
Nadam se samo da Escom neće ponoviti istu grešku kao i Komodor,
prodajući mašine sa malo RAM-a (koji se teško i skupo proširuje) i
obogaljenim procesorima...

Potrebno je i vise, a ne samo 2 Mb. U svakom slucaju bolje je da kartica
ima mogucnost za vise, pa da se kasnije doda (ako za pocetak budu samo
2 Mb).

I ja se nadam da ce Amiga moci da se kupi na mnogo vise mesta, da ce
imati vise memorije i da ce biti jeftinija.

E, sto jes - jes..
Samo sto se nesto bojim da cene ne mogu vrtoglavo poci nadole u koliko
nema ni konkurencije na trzistu (sa slicnim proizvodima, makar
klonovima) i u koliko nema novih proizvoda..
Mada, opet, mozda bi jeftinija bila nadogradnja 4 Mb FAST RAM-a, 68030 i
eventualno 881 u A1200 nego kupovina nove masine (koja jes' da ima
slotova.. ali), a vecini korisnika bi to bila sasvim dovoljna
konfiguracija.

Hm, šta to A4000 ima (u softverskom smislu) što još uvek nije
dovoljno podržano u softveru? Sem toga, nije da ne bih voleo da imam
jednu A4000 (po mogućstvu sa 040/40 i SCSI2 ;)), ali čini mi se da je
većini korisnika i A1200 sasvim dovoljna, tj. da nemaju potrebe za Zorro
slotovima i odvojenim kućištem. Samo još da se ubaci brži procesor, više
memorije i bolji zvuk... :))

Gola A12oo vec sada nije dovoljna. :( Po inostranim casopisima
sam citao neke interview-e gde se mnogi programeri vec pitaju i
"bune" koliko ima korisnika sa "samo" golom A12oo, bez kartice i
Fast Ram-a!???
A4000 sam naveo samo kao primer, posto je masina vec odavno
napravljena. Da je cena A4000 bila mnogo niza, ovakvo "stanje"
sa Amigom danas ne bi bilo ovakvo. I uopste ne razmisljam niti
ne zelim da na nekoj novoj Amigi ucitavam Windows, OS/2 ili sta
vec. Ja volim Amigu ovakva kakva jeste, ako bi hteo da ucitavam
Windows kupio bih Pc-a za male pare, jer stvarno moramo priznati
da se cak i kod _nas_ solidne konfiguracije prodaju za male pare!
Sada kada malo bolje razmislim, mislim da je A12oo-ka donela
dosta toga dobrog, a sa druge strane i loseg. :( Mnogo je ljudi
koji su bili vlasnici jos uvek legendarne :■ a5oo, koji su nakon
izlaska a12oo ostali ravnodusni i dve nedelje kasnije kupili si
Pc-a. :( To je bio jedan jednostavan cist gubitak korisnika a
samim tim i trzista. :(( Da je a4000 postala dostupna kao a1200,
mozda sitacija danas ne bi bila ovakva kakva na zalost jeste. :(
Odavno je proslo "krajnje vreme" da Amiga korisnici dobiju
jednu pravu konfiguraciju, a posto nema nikakvih najava o nekim
novim Amiga modelima, kao primer sam izabrao A4000! :)
novosti.97marshall,
HI! Evo ja malo da se prikljucim raspravi (ovde inace "originalni" vlasnik ovog
usera :)... Kao sto (ne)znate, ja sam pre jednog dobrog vremena svoju sobu
nadopunio jednom 486 konfiguracijom (pored se nalazi A1200)... Naravno, nisam
vise mogao da cekam sa parama u dzepu, koje ne mogu (razumno) da potrosim u
svima nam poznate svrhe. Naime, moj cilj je bila ili nabudzena 1200 (znaci,
68030 + dosta RAM-a minimum) ili A4000. Problem je svima poznat... A sto se
mene tice najveci problem lezi u ceni A4000, i to ne kod nas nego i napolju,
jer - cena A4000 u Nemackoj (mislim na 6MB, oko 300MB HD, mada ovo nije bitno
posto hard diskove samo sto ne dele po ulici :)) je oko 3000DM (bar je bila u
doticno vreme), a u isto vreme 486 konfiguracija (dobra) je isto kostala OVDE,
sto je, mora se priznati, jako bitna stvar. Ne kazem ja da je ta konfiguracija
bolja od 4000 (ja jos uvek radim na 1200 sve sto ne zahteva procesorsku brzinu,
tj. sto se tice multi-taskinga, koji je na PC-ju ugrozena vrsta u razvoju ;)),
ali da je isplativija - jeste... Sto je "najgore" cene PC-ja padaju ko
nenormalne, sto nije slucaj sa Amigom (u stvari, interesuje me, ako neko zna,
da li sada Amiga uopste moze da se kupi u Nemackoj, posto u USA i Kanadi mozete
da je dobijete samo za neke lude pare).
Dakle, to je poenta... Cekam novu Amiga seriju, pa da se ova 1200 zameni nekom
4000 (bar), ali pod obavezno ide da promene zvuk i grafiku, i da obore cene...

Jes', al bi onda najjeftinija Amiga koštala bar 1500, a ne 500
DEM kao do sada, plus što bi malo teže ugurao 040-icu u kućište A1200

Pa sad... Nista nije dzabe. :) Ali trebalo bi ocekivati da amiga
sa ec040 (bez koprocesora) na 25 mhz kao najslabija varijanta

Evo sta ja mislim....
NOVE Amize treba razvijati na 68030+ i to da sve budu u POSEBNOM
kucistu!
Sto? Zbog mogucnosti prosirivanja i budzenja..... kompjuter bi bio
skuplji ali bi oprema bila jeftinija, sto je i vazno..
Naravno SCSI kontroleri za HDD CD i ostale gluposti...
Da se dobije normalan monotor sa Amigom kao standard (ali i ugradjen
modulator)!
Etc....

To je tacno i ja ne sporim to, ali moras da priznas da je ona moja
zastarela A2000 sa OPAL-om ili SPECTRUM-om mogla da bude odlicna masina.
Jedino sto joj je uopste falilo je ta spora ECS grafika, a sve ostalo je
bilo vise nego zadovoljavajuce. Dobro, poslovica: brzine, mesta na hardu
i memorije nikada dosta, ali bila je optimalna za svacije potrebe.

Ovako..narucio sam Svet Amige, i stigao je, evo sta ima u njemu:
- Amiga Novosti (novi filmovi radjeni sa Amigom, Programi)
- ESC=OMOVI Planovi za Amigu
- DraCO (e, ima i slika!)
- Igre (Baldy, Pinball Illusions, Roadkill, Extractors, Super League Manager,
Dawn Patrol, Pizza TYCOON, Whizz, super street fighter II, Lost Eden, Infernal
Machine (domaca))
- Classic Tips (kao sta dalje u SK)
- Programi (Hollywood FX, Motion Master)
- Hardver (kartica VLab Motion)
- Oglasi
Zanimljivo je da je BROJ na izuzetno KVALITETNOM papiru, ali crno-beli. Ima
puno slika i prevodi su iz stranih casopisa.
Kosta 4DIN, ja sam ga narucio iz NS od Amiga Forta u selo Jarqak (gde se
trenutno nalazim) i ispao me je 8 din sa postarinom.
Prvi broj ima oko 20 strana ali daleko vise ima o Amigi nego u SK.. pa
odlucite.

novosti.123dex.dexter,
Ovde je bilo reci o tome kakvi ce biti novi modeli. Evo ga jedan tekst o
buducim modelima Amiga. Nadajmo se da nisu samo glasine :))
From: jeff_w1@sfov1.verifone.com (Jeff Wahaus, CAPS, ATL, x3529)

The following will soon come from Amiga Technologies/Escom in the form of
an
official press release:
In the first quarter of 1996 Amiga Technologies will introduce two new
Amiga
models. They will target 2 specific markets. The Amiga 2001 consumer model
will be
targeted to sell for under $500 (version with no hard disk). This model will
be
targeted at the home computer and family users market. The key selling points
of
model are PRICE and PERFORMANCE. A base system will consist of:
Low Profile Desktop Case with detached keyboard
50MHz 68060EC processor
4MB RAM (2 Chip + 2 Fast)
Enhanced Chip Set
Quad Speed CD-ROM
Hi Density Floppy
2 - PCI/Zorro III Expansion Slots
Fast SCSI-II on the motherboard
Amiga OS v3.2
Optional Items Include:
210MB, 730MB, or 1.5GB hard disk drive.
FPU and MMU version of the 68060 processor
Up to 256MB of RAM on the Motherboard
The second model, the Amiga 5000, will target the high end
animation/rendering
and professional markets. The target base price will be around $1500 and will
include
as standard.
Mid-size tower case (7 drive bays - 4 external, 3 Internal)
66MHz 68060 processor with FPU and MMU
16 MB RAM
730MB Hard Disk (Fast SCSI-II)
Enhanced Chip Set
Quad Speed CD-ROM
Hi Density Floppy
5 - PCI/Zorro III Expansion Slots
Amiga OS v3.2
The specifications of the new chipset these models will use is not yet
finalized. The new chipset will however allow the use of standard VGA type
monitors
and support 16-bit sound. Look for an official announcement in the next few
weeks.
P.S. Informacija je malo stara, pa se izvinjavam ako je vec bila.

Razgovarao sam sa covekom koji je pravi casopis i on kaze da ce sledeci
broj biti mnogo bolji, ne samo sto se tice izgleda (bice i dalje crno
beli) nego sto se tice tekstova koji se unutar njega nalaze. Takodje ce
se i kvalitet slika poboljsati, a i bice nesto uradjeno na polju dizajna,
tako da bi sve to polagano islo ka nivou jednog PC magazina i jednih
Racunara, naravno mislim u smislu grafickih resenja i boljeg dizajna. U
planu je da u sledecih nekoliko brojeva, ako se prodaja poboljsa Amiga
Svet pocne da izlazi u boji, naravno za to treba puno amigasa koji ce
ovaj casopis kupovati.
Da bi ova akcija uspela, odlucio sam da pomognem i svako ko zeli da
nabavi broj novog Amiga Sveta moze to uciniti preko mene, takodje.

Ne samo da je zakasneli odgovor nego i cista glupost. I za PC-ja je
postojala verzija 2.0 koja je bila tako socno puna bagova da je to za
diviti se. Onda su uporedo (prvo se pojavila kod nas za Amigu) verzije za
oba racunara i to v3.0. Obe su identicne i traze 3 Mb da bi se
stratovale, tj. Amigina verzija, a na PC je ludost i probati bez 4 Mb.

Eh, jos uvek nemam dve A1200 :)) ali moze da se igra udvoje na istom

To sam mogao i ja da ti kazem, nisam nista radio u IM3.x jer je blago
ubitacno spor u odnosu na 2.0, koji za sada vodi kao rekorder po brzini
rendanja. Ipak ja prepoucujem IM2.9 koji u sebi ima implemetirane skoro
sve funkcije IM3.x, ali naglasavam skoro sve.

Pomenuh li da `ima cica`, ako nisam da ponovim. Imam neki fajl za 3.0
Imagine, koji sam stampao i koji se nalazi valjda u toj fascikli. Posto

Procitah jutros ovu poruku :
RAPTOR
Amiga 4000 je u Americi vrlo usko povezana, i skoro nezamisliva bez
Video Toastera, sa kojim se koristi kao svemoguca video mikseta na TV
stanicama. Tesko je opisati u jednoj recenici sta je Toster, ali
najjednostavnije objasnjeno to je graficka kartica/video
mikseta/digitalizator/dzenlok/3D ray-tracing masina itd. Real-time
efekti su perfektno brzi i predivno uradjeni. Kada se dodje do 3D
grafike, program LightWave koji se dobija uz Toaster ima fantasticne
mogucnosti, pa je zato i koriscen u mnogim komercijalnim filmovima
(Terminator 2, Jurrasic Park) i TV serijama (Babylon 5, Sea Quest) koje
su iziskivale slozene 3D efekte.
Kako su 3D animacije koje su tokom godina postavljane pred Amige
bile sve slozenije i duze, pojavio se problem oko brzine iscrtavanja.
Jer, korisnici su se vremenom razmazili do te mere, da su bez obzira na
kompleksnost scene zeleli da je iscrtaju za sto krace vreme. Nekada su
jednostavne scene sa par objekata, na Amigi 500, uzimale i po ceo dan da
se ray-trace-ovane iscrtaju u tada neverovatnih 4096 boja. Tehnologija
je, na srecu, uznapredovala, i danasnje Amige 4000 sa svojim procesorom
68040 krckaju 16 miliona boja u visim rezolucijama za daleko krace
vreme. Kada je Spilberg resio da zapocne rad na seriji Sea Quest
odlucio se da efekte rade Amige 4000 sa Toasterom. Sea Quest je
futuristicka serija koja se odvija u naucnoj stanici duboko pod
povrsinom okeana. Sve podvodne scene kojih je svaka epizoda prepuna
trebalo je da budu modelirane i trejsovane u LightWave-u. Povezano je
petnaestak Amiga, ali je iscrtavanje i dalje bilo nedovoljno brzo da bi
mogle da se naprave sve animacije potrebne za seriju sa novom epizodom
svake nedelje. Resenje Spilbergovog problema je doslo iz firme
"DeskStation", pod nazivom Raptor. Raptor je crna kutija visine oko
80cm i tezine 35kg u kojoj se nalaze dva R4400 RISC procesora, svaki sa
po 64 Mb RAM-a! Ukoliko ni to nije dovoljno, moguce je povezati vise
Raptora u sistem i dobiti brzine od kojih boli glava. Funkcionisanje
Raptora je prilicno jednostavno. Prvo se poveze Eternet kablom, potom
instalira softver, a zatim pocinje sa standardnim radom u LightWave-u.
Kada je zavrseno modeliranje 3D objekata i njihovo postavljanje u scenu,
informacija se salje Raptoru da iscrta sliku. Moguce je izabrati dve
varijante - da svaki od procesora radi po jednu polovinu iste slike, ili
da svaki radi svoju sliku. Druga varijanta je daleko bolja za
animacije, jer se procesori nece cekati ukoliko je jedna polovina slike
kompleksnija od druge. Koliko je Raptor brzi od A4000? Tacan odgovor
je nemoguce dati, jer zavisi od toga sta se iscrtava, ali jedno je
sigurno - srecni korisnik ce dobiti ray-trace-ovane slike 10-40 puta
brze nego na najbrzoj Amigi 4000! Kao da to nije dovoljno,
"DeskStation" nudi i Raptor Plus koji poseduje dva brza R4600 RISC
procesora (133MHz), sto daje dvostruko vecu brzinu od obicnog Raptora.
Za sada je ovu divnu napravu moguce koristiti jedino uz LightWave, ali
su najavljene i verzije svih poznatijih 3D programa za Raptor,
ukljucujuci i Real3D i Imagine. Cene su naravno sitnica za Spilbergov
posao, ali su za obicnog korisnika basnoslovne - Raptor sa 128 Mb
$14000, a Raptor Plus $17000.

P.S. Ima li neko AR 313-316 ???
ar318.lhanovosti.184mihajlo,
Narode stigla je zvanicno turbo karta sa `040` na 50 Mhz za A1200 sa
cenom od 599 funti, sto je oko 1500 dem i daje po sysinfu 18,267 (mips).
Novo konspirativno i sve cesce korisceno ime u racunarskoj industriji je
"FACLON 040" i opciono na sebi sadrzi i SCSI-2 kontroler. Jedna od
najvaznijih stavki je da je ova karta u nekim operacijama drasticno brza
od A4000 040 u istom taktu procesora. Npr. A1200 Blizzard 1230 II 50 Mhz,
A4000 i A1200 Falcon, svi sa istom kolicinom memorije su renderovali
scenu u Light Wave-u od 52,109 poligona sa 34 mape itd ... Blizard je to
uradio za 20:12, A4000 za 10:45, dok je to FALCON uradio za 07:55. Doduse
ta razlika izmedju 040 procesora se nije osetila pri radu sa, recimo,
Photogenics-om.
Uskoro treba da se pojavi FALCON 060 na 50 Mhz koji po sysinfo-u daje
39,97 mips-a. Cena jos nije poznata :))

Optimisto ;) Escom (tj. Amiga Technologies) je nedavno objavio nove cene
A4000T/040 (sa 6 MB RAM i 1 GB HD-om, plus Scala MM400) - u Engleskoj kosta
2230 funti (oko 5000 DEM) - i to bez monitora :((( Nije bolja situacija ni sa
1200-tkama - jes' da se uz njih dobija fantastican komplet programa (Wordworth
4SE, Digita Organizer, Datastore 1.1, TurboCalc 3.5, Personal Paint 6.4,
Pjotogenics 1.1A, Pinball Mania i Whizz), ali cena je 100 funti veca od stare -
400 funti za verziju bez harda, 500 za A1200 HD 170 MB + Scala MM300 :(( Jedino
sto je na samim Amigama promenjeno je OS - dolaze sa WB-om 3.1. Takodje,
predstavljen je i novi monitor (licenciran od Microvitec-a) koji podrzava sve
AGA rezolucije (15-38KHz, 14", 0.28 dot pitch), a cena mu je razumna - oko 300
funti.
Sve u svemu, ako se nesto (pod hitno!) ne promeni, bolje da odmah pocnemo
da skupljamo pare za jeftine Pentijume :( Uzgred, ni cene turbo kartica nisu se
menjale znacajnije jos od proleca :(

Nova Amiga na pomolu: kako će izgledati? Prema časopisu CU Amiga:
- - -
Project Walker Specifications;
CPU
68EC030 40Mhz (Proto 25Mhz while custom chip 'Tony' a PLA/GAL')
Space for FPU. Could be socket or FPU as standard in production unit.
SUPPORT
Real time clock as standard
Hard drive as standard (size depending on market when manufactured)
CD (Quad Speed) as standard
Billed as 1MB CHIP RAM + 4MB of FAST as standard. Likely to be 2+4.
2 SIMM sockets. Expandable to 128MB of RAM. (That's right)
ASSORTED
PCB currently 6 layers but expected to reduce to 4 and footprint
to be reduced noticably. Rectangular optimised PCM layout is far
cheaper to product.
Return to dial in-line socketted 8520 CIAs even at greater cost.
PCMCIA in prototype but expected to be dropped for production unit.
EXPANSION
Standard multicontroller PC style IO chip. Exact model undecided since
they are largely similar to include in the design and program.
Features; EPP Parallel port, High speed serial port, E-IDE port used
for CD-ROM and hard drives, Floppy controller * See note.
* Floppy Controller is obviously capable of full speed (not half spin)
HD floppy disk access but this provides a delima in how to support
existing hardware illegal DD floppy access. Some sort of electronic
switching is being considered as well as a physical switch/cable
relocation to move between the new controller and the standard Paula
based interface. A change in the HD Amiga floppy architecture is also
planned.
It's planned that the production unit will accept standard PC AT
keyboards so that the user may choose their own unit.
OS
Currently V43.1, KS 3.2 will move to a set of 1MB chips which while
AT aren't sure if it will be provided by THEMSELVES as an retro
upgrade for existing machines (A3K/A4K and A1200 can take 1MB ROMs
apparently) they are open to a 3rd party deal at the least.
Contains mainly bug-fixes and small enhancements like the removal
of the 2GB limit from FFS.
CDFS revamped and bug-fixed to function with Scala etc and obviously
the new E-IDE interface.
SLOTS
There's one slot located dead center in the motherboard. However it's
split into two sections so that it may house 2 cards if needs be.
The exact details on the signals and purpose of each half weren't
finalised or available but basically one can surmise that one is a
CPU slot and the other a video slot. Signals will be duplicated so
that different cards could function.
Amiga Technologies WILL MARKET THEIR OWN PPC UPGRADE! Though it was
developed in conjuncton with Phase 5, AT will provide the upgrade
which will contain a new OS on-board and such forth. PPC603 based.
If it's not obvious, it's possible in theory to plug in a GFX board
in the video half and a 680x0 based accelerator in the CPU half. It's
not clear if the PPC card will need both or just the CPU slot.
Another major application could be to make a Zorro and/or PCI break
out board from this slot. No, there are NO Zorro or PCI slots as
standard though the physical nature of the slot is PCI style.
An additional small 'IO' slot is being considered. 3rd party simple
hardware projects such as a networking facility, extra serial ports
or a sampler could be used with this as well as home made projects
conceivably. This isn't decided, just considered at this time.
CASE
Yes it's a vacuum cleaner. :-) Seriously the only way to describe it
is with a picture and I'm sure they'll turn up soon. Interesting
AT say that the hood could be raised by spacers and such forth to make
more room internally for a bus board for cards etc.
TIMEFRAME
AT say that the design will be finalised in the Summer ready for
production. It's not decided of Solectron will be the manufacturers.
The production unit should be available in the 'Fall' well in time
for the Christmas season.
NOTES/AUTHOR
I'm the techical staff writer for CU Amiga Magazine. This information
is important enough to release publically immediately though more
details, details (very) pictures and interviews with the AT design
team will feature in the next issue. <sorry for the plug>
All of this information resulted from direct interviews with AT
staff at the CeBIT show including members of the Walker design team.
FINAL
The name 'Walker' is not the production name! Therefore we call it
Project Walker. The name is undecided and Amiga Technologies have
decided to run a competition for the name of the unit! This
competition will be run through our magazine. Both by writing in to
the standard address and E-mailing walker-compo@cu-amiga.demon.co.uk
Just state your name in the body of the mail. That's all that's
required, if you win I'll be in touch via E-mail to sort out the
prize/s.
Prizes; 1st Amiga Surf Pack, 2nd Amiga Magic Pack.

Eee.
Pravo da ti kazem, za koji dan bi trebalo da cujem informacije o
Walker-u iz prve ruke.. Odmah cu vam preneti ono sto saznam..
Za sada - kako kaze jedan moj drugar - ako to bude bio 1 Mb CHIP-a, ali
BRZOG CHIP-a, onda ce prakticno moci da se vrsi miksovanje svega i
svacega u FAST-u i kopiranje u CHIP za prikaz. Sve u svemu, to ne bi
bilo tako lose, ako je zaista to - brzi CHIP RAM.

Teško, jer ni Retina ni ostale kartice 'ne pašu' u Walkera ;)) Šalu

nisu stavili procesor bez MMU-a :(( Ovako, čekam da vidim šta će se

se nalazi u nekom desktop kucistu, ali onom sexi maleckom, sa odvojenom

Garfika bi morala da omoguci 800x600 u 16M boja i to na standardnom
VGA monitoru. Naravno veca rezolucija od ove znaci i manje boja.
Mora da ima HD flopi, neki ugradjeni HD koji se lako menja i CD rom!
Naravno zvuk mora da bude 16 bitni stereo.

Koliko god da bude brza, i dalje je to užasno mala količina memorije! Uzmi
na primjer Photogenics. Ja ne mogu da zamislim rad u njemu sa 1 Mb CHIP
RAM-a. A šta bi se tek desilo kad bih zajedno sa njim pokušao da pokrenem

Ovakva Amiga konfiguracija može vrlo lako da se sastavi kupovinom
pojedinačnih komponenti. Nisi se osvrnuo na osnovni problem - cijenu.

Pa, dobar deo ovoga što si naveo Walker ispunjava - 030/40MHz (ali
obogaljen - EC, bez MMU :( ), 2 72-pinska SIMM slota (od toga u jednom 4 MB
RAM), 3.5" hard disk, EIDE kontroler, 4x IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM, odvojena
tastatura, mini tower kućište - ali malo blesavog dizajna ;) - gornji deo
kućišta se skida, zajedno sa CD ROM-om, pa se između ubacuju dodatni
drajvovi proširenja :)
Na žalost, glavna ograničenja ostaju - (spora) AGA grafika, 8
bitni zvuk (da bar ima sempler), DD flopi...
Ono čega se ja bojim je da Escom nema ni dovoljno volje ni snage da
razvija Amige u onom pravcu u kom bi trebalo. Plašim se da će buduće mašine
više ličiti na PC-je nego na sadašnje modele. Mislim, ako budemo imali
mašinu sa PowerPC procesorom, PCI magistralom, Cyber-ovo-ono grafikom (u
prevodu - grafički čipovi koji se koriste na PC-ju i novim PowerMacovima,
kao i na boljim Amiga grafičkim kartama), jedino što će takvu mašinu
razlikovati od nekog CHREP (*) klona bio bi OS - a njemu je poodavno došlo
vreme za detaljnu rekonstrukciju. Nadam se da se to neće svesti samo na
šminku tipa MUI.
Apple je imao snage za takav radikalan korak (prelazak na PPC),
videćemo da li će i Escom.
(*) CHREP = Common Hardware Reference Platform, standard za PowerPC
računare; po njemu, na istom računaru se mogu koristiti MacOS, WinNT, OS/2,
Unix... operativni sistemi.

Pa... ako bi bio BRZI CHIp ram.. to je OK, ali opet...
1MB je nedovoljno za 24BIT sliku u iole ozbiljnijoj rezoluciji...
Mislim da bi 2MB CHIP-a bilo minumum, ali da opciono bude proširivo
makar na 4MB ?

Neka ostave VGA/SVGA opcione rezolucije... ali samo da ostave PAL

Nemaš pojma koliko si u pravu :( Verovatno (ni)ste čuli da je Escom
PRODAO Amigu (tj. firmu Amiga Tech.) američkoj kompaniji VIScorp. Ono što
bi trebalo da bude utešno je da novi vlasnici tvrde da su svi zaljubljenici
u Amigu (direktor softvera je bio u timu koji je pisao AmigaOS!) i da se sa
razvojem novih modela nastavlja. Inače, VIScorp je prvobitno planirao da
proizvodi 'Internet konzole' bazirane na Amiga tehnologiji, i bili su prva
firma koja je sa Escomom potpisala ugovor o licenciranju Amiga tehnologije.
Koliko je ovo dobro (ili loše) za nas videćemo, a u sledećih nekoliko
poruka možete pročitati nekoliko vesti (prenetih sa Interneta) na tu temu.

VISCORP wants to buy AMIGA Technologies
VISCORP USA AND ESCOM AG ANNOUNCE LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING FOR ACQUISITION
OF AMIGA TECHNOLOGIES BY VISCORP
Heppenheim, Germany and Chicago, IL, April 12, 1996 -- ESCOM AG, a German
computer manufacturer and reseller and Visual Information Services Corp.
(Nasdaq: VICP, Bulletin Board), a developer of interactive TV (ITV)
set-top-boxes to enhance television use and viewing by providing Internet
access and electronic communications function, today jointly announced that
a binding letter of understanding has been signed between the companies.
The letter states that Chicago-based VIScorp would acquire Amiga
Technologies, including the intellectual properties of the former Commodore
Business Machines, excepted Commodore trademarks. The transaction value is
approximately US $40 million. Terms were not disclosed, and the pending
acquisition would be subject to approval by both companies' boards of
directors.
"This intended acquisition is part of VIScorp's strategy to build market
leadership in the fast-growing field of ITV", said William Buck, Chief
Executive Officer. "As a result, we would own Amiga intellectual
properties, including several that are currently used in our set top-box,
Electronic Device (EDŽ). We would also have control over the supplied chip
sets used in ED as well as Amiga inventories and access to the company's
current sales and distribution channels."
Commenting the proposed acquisition, Helmut Jost, chief executive of ESCOM
AG, said: "VIScorp has a clear vision of the Amiga technology potential for
ITV applications. We are eager to support and work together over the terms
of the letter of understanding to ensure a smooth transition between the
two companies. VIScorp anticipates the support of ongoing European sales of
popular models such as the A4000T and the A1200 as well as the current
developments and future releases of Amiga Technologies."
Petro Tyschtschenko, president of Amiga Technologies stated "I am looking
forward to being able to take advantage of the research and development
support potential that an Amiga-related company like VIScorp can
provide."
Commenting that the primary objective of the proposed acquisition is to
give VIScorp full access to the Amiga technology to support development of
its ITV device, Mr. Buck noted: "Our intention is to rapidly develop and
begin manufacturing TV set-top interactive boxes -- products that give home
users capabilities such as telephone reception and dial up capabilities,
facsimile, video games, pay-per-view options, electronic mail, and access
to on-line services, including the Internet."

I am writing this here so everyone can read it as we are going to see a
fload of false shits about VISCORP/ESCOM/AT etc
áá
VISCORP USA consists of true AMIGA lovers as THEY CALL THEMSELVES. Some of
them are gurus who MADE Amiga OS itself at the first place!!!!
Their intention is to make the Super Amiga. That is the super computer of
today as Amiga was for 10 years ago when it was introduced. For the
user/market/moment, this is not going to change anything. The hardware
development will be held by the Amiga team in AT and there will be new OS
developers (among them some of those who originally made AmigaOS, that's
the first true multitasking OS for a personal computer. The different is
that AT now belongs to VISCORP USA which in turn is a company that LOVES
Amiga and yes, they have never had any PC development (remember that both
good old C= and ESCOM made Pecees) if you wonder + VISCORP USA is a very
rich and represented US company.
á
Many Amiga gurus, amoung them Dave (AMIGA) Haynie, Woody (Softwood)
Williams, Michael (SoftLogik Publishing) Lanmarc and Kermit (Nova Design,
Inc.) Woodall are very happy that VISCORP now own the AMIGA. I guess
these AMIGA developers/gurus know the market much better than the Joe
average computer user wanna be elite dude that is gonna write/spread craps
about the situation :)
á
Anything else you read anywhere else is pure craps and speculations.
that's it. Be happy
á
For your intention, I am going to include Carl (VIScorp) Sassenrath short
usenet article about the matter.

What I have been telling people is not to worry. We are all
Amiga lovers here. Unlike ESCOM or even Commodore, VIScorp
does not have a single IBM PC person in the development group.
We are all solid Amigans from the very beginning. Personally
speaking, I don't plan on killing the Amiga. In fact, I'm
hoping to build one killer Amiga!

Talking about something else, Holger Kruse of the AmiPPP, ReORG and AmiWin
fame is now beta testing 'Miami', the all new TCP/IP stack+PPP all in a
single program that creates only one IFF config file (say goodbye to the
messing with AmiTCP ;)
As you know, Holger knows how to make awesome applications and 'Miami'
won't be anything but a superior internet stack for our beloved computer.
Go register it when it is available.

novosti.246mikis,
The following quote is from Carl Sassenrath, Director of Software for
VISorp, the company which has proposed a plan to purchase Amiga
Technologies from Escom. His comments were in answer to questions
posed to him about the future of the Amiga from CUCUG. He has made
these comments to others on the net, as well.
"What I have been telling people is not to worry. We are all Amiga
lovers here. Unlike ESCOM or even Commodore, VIScorp does not have a
single IBM PC person in the group. We are all solid Amigans from the
very beginning (for example, I developed the Amiga's Multitasking OS,
CDTV system, AmigaLogo, Bay, OptCD, ISOCD, etc.).
Personally speaking, I don't plan on killing the Amiga. In fact, if
they ask me to take over system development, you'll see one killer
Amiga!"

Još jedan veoma zanimljiv tekst: log-fajl "pres konferencije" koju
je na IRC-u držao Mat Bettison, novinar časopisa CU Amiga, posle Cebit
sajma, a tiče se nove Amiga mašine - Walkera.
walkrlog.lhanovosti.248mikis,
A tu su i fotografije nove mašine! Iskreno rečeno, ja sam ostao
blago šokiran ;) Ako im je to bila namera, uspeli su :)
(P.S. nadam se, ipak, da finalna mašina neće ovako izgledati ;)

Nije baš tako. Kao što si mogao da vidiš iz poruka poslatih ovih
dana, u pitanju je potpuno nova mašina - sa matičnom pločom
redizajniranom tako da može da stane i u standardna PC kućišta, novim
(PC) I/O čipovima (nadam se da neće više biti CIA ;), interfejsom za
(opet) PC tastaturu... Sve u svemu, Amige će sve više i više ličiti na
PC-je (naročito eventualne PowerAmige) :(
Inače, procesor bi trebao da bude EC030/40mhz.

Capital Punishment (mozda si video demo) je ovih dana prodata u Londonu,
a menadzer tima, koji bi trebalo uskoro da svrne ovamo, ce, ako sve bude
kako je rekao, poneti jednog Walker-a.. Koliko sam shvatio, sve firme
koje razvijaju softver ce moci unapred (u koliko to zele) da kupe buducu
masinu..
Eto :)))
Naravno, sta ce od toga biti.. Videcemo :)
Jer, koliko sam procitao u AR406, tamo rece da postoje samo tri Walker-a
za sada (tacnije tri prototipa) i da su _skupi_ :)) No, opet, samo

Hi !
Nije bas novost, ali..
Javljam povodom Aga Extendera.. Cuo sam se sa autorom, i on mi je,
izmedju ostalog, rekao da je VIScorp izgledao prilicno zainteresovan za
taj projekat, ali da nista nije konkretno povodom toga reseno.
E i jos nesto..
Predpostavljam da neki medju vama znaju, neki mozda i ne, ali domaca
firma MERIDIAN ce se, izmedju ostalog, baviti prodajom Amiga kod nas.
Zadrzao sam se neka 2 sata na njihovom standu na sajmu i lepo se
ispricao (uzeo par brosurica, nalepnica... nije vise bilo postera :((
Elem, potpisali su vec ugovore sa Phase 5, NewTek-om i AT-om oko
zastupanja tako da treba od njih, koliko mi je receno, ocekivati sve sto
budu uspeli da nabave u vezi Amige, kako hardver, tako softver..
Cene ? Pa, nisu mogli da mi kazu, posto jos nije odredjeno, ali
predpostavljam da ce biti dosta pristupacnije nego sto se inace nudi kod
nas.

Welcome to CD32 NEWS, supplied by
--- Digital Arts Software (c) ---
=================================
Issue: One
Date: 13:45 9/05/96
\ /\ /elcome to the Very first CD32 NEWS, this is one of the first of
\/ \/ its kind on the CD32 and we hope we can show people that the Worlds
first REAL 32-Bit machine has got plenty of life in the old dog yet!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
W A L K E R - is this the NEW CD32 for the Future
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In September of this year Amiga Technologies are to release the NEW
Amiga Walker, the rumours of the CD32 being rereleased as it is seem to
have gone out of the Window, does this mean death for the CD32.
The Walker comes with a 030 Processor which is upgradeable to a PowerPC
chip, Quad Speed CDROM, Fully Expandable, and includes an Amiga Keyboard,
is this ATs answer to the CD32?
We don't know as yet, but with the Viscorp take over with the CD32 even
be given a second thought.
More on this subject next issue, we will include comments from
Amiga Technologies themselves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SX32 or ProModule which shall I Buy??
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have seen our reviews on the Promodule and SX32, you will see the
benefits of the Promodule over the SX32, unfortunately the SX32 takes away
all chances of ever using an FMV card.
Currently the Promodule has not been given much coverage but you may access
the internet pages on it and even see some pictures.
http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/digiarts/cd32
But it does seem to be the Dream that all CD32 owners have been waiting
for.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AGA Experience 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Release last month this is a real dream to all CD32 owners, you do need a
CD like Network CD to take you into Workbench 3.x and you may assign the
AGA Experience 2 CD to you system, although some demos and animations require
more than the CD32s standard memory capacity (2Mb) most of the demos and
modules
work great, this CD includes some great AGA pictures although there are NO babe
pictures on this CD, it contains animations from Babylon 5 and X-Wing... a
real cracker in my opinion.
It includes loads of Workbench and Comms software including MUI 3.3 and Magic
Workbench (ICONS, BACKDROPS etc...)
Priced at 19.99 or 14.99 depending on the company you buy from its well worthy
of a purchase.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW CD32 Full Motion Video Game in the Works
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are currently working on a CD32 project ourselfs, it is a cross between
Doom and Lethal Enforcers. It will either be available on Disk or CD, it
will require a CD32 due to the Usage of the Akiko chip although an Akiko
emulation disk will be available to normal Amiga users.
Its the story of a Woman who is being Stalked and nobody will believe her until
its too late and she is killed most horribly eek!, you are a private eye
on the hunt for her killer you will be dragged through the dark streets of
Manchester to seek the killer...
We expect to have completed this project early 1997.
More information will be available soon, including screen shot!

Evo malo dobrih vijesti... Nadam se da će ovo što skorije postati
stvarnost...
POWERUP - THE NEXT GENERATION
PHASE 5 DIGITAL PRODUCTS ANNOUNCES AN AMIGA-OS-COMPATIBLE COMPUTER FOR 1997
Amazing hardware project from phase 5 digital products
PowerUP project continues to make progress
Motorola appreciates the concept of phase 5
Technology demonstrations
phase 5 digital products on the situation of Amiga Technologies
About phase 5 digital products
Oberursel, May 1996: Oberursel, May 1996: According to the plans of
phase 5 digital products, Oberursel near Frankfurt, Germany, the
coming year, 1997, will be a year of joy for all Amiga enthusiasts. As
an expansion of the PowerUp project, which involves developing PowerPC
processor cards for existing Amiga models, the company has announced
that an independent Amiga OS-compatible computer system will be
available in the first six months of 1997, representing a revolution
on the computer market.
"We will continue to give our full support to the Amiga idea because
as we were among the first Amiga users we continue to believe in the
advantages and superior concepts of the Amiga", says Wolf Dietrich,
Managing Director of phase 5 digital products. "However, it is high
time for a radical leap forwards in technology that needs to be borne
by a vision of a computer for the next millennium. We have seen too
many half-hearted efforts in the last few years."
In the view of Gerald Carda, Technical Director at phase 5, it is
necessary to take a step towards complete innovation in order to
realise such a vision. "Concepts that build up on the standard
components of the PC world never offer the scope that give a computer
system the lead that the Amiga 1000 had over other systems 12 years
ago."
In line with this philosophy, the new computer will be based on a
highly integrated Custom Chip design which, as a central functional
unit, will enable the system to achieve a hitherto unknown
performance. "We will demonstrate the possibilities that are inherent
in the resolute and single-minded pursuit of a new development that
does not become submerged in the mainstream of adaptation to the
Wintel world and the general tendency towards economy in the PC mass
market which more or less throttles innovation for the sake of saving
one single dollar", continues Gerald Carda. Despite this, the system
now being announced is not intended to become a dream machine in the
high price category. In the words of Wolf Dietrich: "On the basis of
our current price calculation we will be able to offer unusually good
value for money for which our products for the Amiga market are
already renowned."
It is actually true that the extremely high degree of integration and
the realisation of novel concepts will make it possible to achieve a
performance that explodes existing bounds. Based on the PowerPC as the
main processor, the new computer, in addition to the high performance
of the processor, offers hardware support for multimedia (MPEG) and 3D
functions, while even the basic system offers a resolution of
1600x1200 pixels at 24-bit color depth and a refresh rate of 72 Hz. At
the same time special functions for image and video effects have been
implemented in the hardware. In addition there are audio inputs and
outputs in stereo CD quality, a video-compatible and Genlock-capable
24-bit video output and an FBAS/S-VHS video input. Along with the
usual interfaces, the system is rounded off by a Fast SCSI-II
controller, a network interface and an ISDN interface. With these
features a complete system with a 120 MHz 603e PowerPC, 16 MByte
memory, a SCSI hard disk of 1 GB and a quad-speed CD ROM will be
available for a purchase price of around 3,000 DM (1,400 ú or 2,000
US$, respectively) on the basis of the present market prices for the
components. "We hope that in just about one year from now we will even
be able to offer a 150 to 166 MHz 603e-processor at this price",
anticipates Wolf Dietrich. "In terms of performance the processor has
no problems in keeping up with a Pentium processor with an equally
fast clock. However, there is no sign of any comparable graphic
performance anywhere the PC field and the features of our systems will
be difficult to match." There will be a similar system available with
a PowerPC 604-e processor and 150 MHz for about 4,000 DM (1,800 ú or
2,700 US$, respectively).
Although phase 5 digital products state that the total concept for the
system has already been under development for quite some time and has
practically been concluded, it is not possible to publish a more exact
description of the system features at the present point in time. "At
the moment we are intensively concerned with looking into whether it
would be worth applying for a patent for any of the concepts we have
developed and, if so, for which. So unfortunately we are not able to
publish more precise details of the concept until after this process
has been concluded and we have possibly applied for protection by
patent", says Gerald Carda. For this reason we cannot reckon with any
publication of the full system specifications until the end of June.
Not only the hardware concept of phase 5, but also the software
approach comes as a surprise. The new computer system will be supplied
with a completely new operating system written in Native PowerPC code,
but with binary compatibility with Amiga-OS 3.x. Here Gerald Carda has
the following comments: "As we are already developing an
Amiga-compatible PowerPC-Exec with an expansion library and a PowerPC
CyberGraphX version in the context of the PowerUp developments, it is
the logical consequence that the next step will be the innovative
development of the other components. An operating system that is
compatible with Amiga-OS 3.x makes it possible for the user to
continue to use the existing software that can run under CyberGraphX,
while developers who already give massive support to CyberGraphX will
be able to continue to maintain and develop their products at the
present level. In this way we will be enabling Amiga users to switch
to the new system without any problems." "In addition", continues
Gerald Carda, "we will be opening up ways of making considerable
improvements in the internal structure and extensive additions to the
scope of functions". Besides the 24-bit support which has already
become a standard due to CyberGraphX, Gerald Carda names the coming
CyberGraphX 3D and multimedia interface as an example. There will also
be an optimisation of the system's performance and a revision and
adaptation of the user interface in line with the functional and
optical state of the art. "For years Amiga-OS has represented the
conceptual realisation of ideas that today are propagated by many to
be special innovations. This means that reprogramming will make it
possible to achieve a really highly powered and modern OS. Of course
our system will also be open for other operating systems or
emulations, such as MacOS or an X-Windows link-up. The discussion
concerning so-called new operating systems, however, was intended more
as marketing hype than as a realistic alternative."
The commitment with which phase 5 digital products will force forward
this project is reflected not least in the considerable volume of
investment that has been made in the development. "By the middle of
1997 we will have invested seven-digit figures in this project", says
Wolf Dietrich. "We have the know-how, the development team, the
technical equipment, the support from third parties (especially
Motorola) and the financial basis for this project. The only thing
that we still need is massive and positive support from the Amiga user
basis. With this early disclosure of our objectives we expect to
receive the anticipated response from the users, for, after all, such
a project only makes sense if there is still a large number of
convinced Amiga fans. We therefore appeal to all Amiga fans to write
to us, to send us faxes or to contact us via E-mail (under the address
specially set up for this purpose: aproject@phase5.de ). Every
positive reaction will strengthen this forward-looking project."
PowerUP project continues to make progress
The PowerUp project also continues to make progress. "The delivery of
the developer PowerPC boards will now start in summer", says Gerald
Carda. "Unfortunately, we are a few months behind in our schedule due
to extensive discussions between Motorola, Amiga Technologies and
phase 5. These companies were to agree on a close cooperation and
clarify a number of matters, especially with regard to new standards
specific to the new PowerPC. After the discussion concerning a
takeover by VIScorp started and the wave or redundancies that directly
followed at Amiga Technologies, which led to most of the contact
persons who had been involved in the projects leaving the company, AT
abandoned the present cooperation. For this reason we will waste no
further time and will continue with our project on our own, which was
the way in which we started it. Nor can we wait any longer to see what
VIScorp might possibly intend or not intend."
The support for external developers in the PowerUp program is now
complete. More than 250 developers - including practically all noted
commercial software suppliers in the Amiga field - are registered and
their numbers are growing every day. This alone is evidence of the
strong support for the future Amiga-compatible PowerPC platform. As
from the second half of May, the registered users will now be able to
order the PowerPC Beta developer boards from phase 5 which mean the
green light for the hot phase of the world-wide software development.
Motorola appreciates the concept of phase 5
In the realisation of their new, innovative computer system phase 5
will be fully supported by Motorola. "We appreciate the powerful and
innovative concept that phase 5 represents and we fully support the
efforts of this company as a partner in our global PowerPC strategy."
says John Letham, European Technical Marketing Manager, Motorola RISC
Microprocessors. "We have had a number of joint meetings now and we
are impressed by the know-how and vision that is the basis of phase
5š's driving force."
Technology demonstrations
In close cooperation with Motorola phase 5 is preparing technology
demonstrations, to be shown in due course, which will demonstrate the
impressive capabilities of the next generation of PowerPC 603e CPUs at
significantly increased clock rates. This programme is already
underway and Summer of 1996 will see phase 5 present prototypes of
PowerPC boards for Amiga 3000/4000 as well as for the Apple Macintosh
7500/8500/9500 series. "With the presentation of these new processors,
Motorola as a leading semiconductor manufacturer clearly illustrates
their capabilities demonstrating exactly why the next generation of
PowerPC CPUs will hold the pole position in the microprocessor
performance race". says Wolf Dietrich of phase 5. "Our computer
system, when shipping next year, will also offer these extremely fast
processors, delivering true high-end workstation performance. The
higher speed of the CPUs will also deliver a performance increase to
the upgrade boards for existing Amiga systems." With the presentation
of this PowerPC technology demo on Apple MacIntosh system phase 5
digital products announces their entry into the MacIntosh accelerator
market. This new branch of their operation will make additional use of
the PowerPC know-how that is been build up in the Amiga development,
while for both the Amiga and the MacIntosh PowerPC products an even
more attractive pricing can be realized due to the higher quantity
demands of PowerPC processors
phase 5 digital products on the situation of Amiga Technologies
In addition to this project announcement, phase 5 also made some side
remarks on the current state of affairs with regard to Amiga
Technologies. "To our regret we found that Amiga Technologies offers
us no sort of outlook or basis for developing into the future", says
Wolf Dietrich. "The first year of Amiga Technologies was marked by a
continued chain of wrong decisions which have been responsible for the
bad situation in which the company now finds itself. The results must
be adequate to the objectives set in the spring of 1995 and in this
respect they are more than disappointing. There is no getting away
from this. In fact the same mistakes were made that were previously
made at Commodore and partly by the same people. For example, attempts
continue to keep technically outdated products on the market at
unrealistic prices, which is particularly true in the case of the
A4000T. Another point is that the marketing concepts are completely
outdated, there is an absence of any kind of futuristic vision and a
lack of any independent development, which is so pronounced that today
AT neither has any 68060 technology to show for itself nor even a sign
of any PowerPC technology. The brief spark of any independent
development was extinguished again by the latest wave of redundancies.
In this respect the only thing that we can just about expect from AT
is that they sell off their large quantities of existing stock. These
do give us some cause to hope that the existing products will be on
the market for a while and that, in due course, they will be offered
at more realistic prices. Finally, the only thing that can be said
about the activities of AT is: They should have asked someone who
knows his stuff."
In the opinion of phase 5 a takeover of Amiga Technologies by VIScorp
does not awaken hope of any major innovations or any strengthening of
the Amiga system. "So far we have heard nothing from VIScorp that
would cause us to assume that anything different is being planned than
the exploitation of the Amiga technology in a settop box. Nor do we
see why this company, which must certainly concentrate all its efforts
on realising its settop projects, should be interested in further
pursuing the primary aim of continuing with the Amiga system. If this
had been the case, it would already have been quite feasible for
VIScorp to initiate such a project as a licensee of the Amiga
technology." phase 5 sees this critical opinion confirmed by current
events. "The actions of VIScorp do not convince us that they are
serious in continuing with the Amiga. So far, for example, VIScorp has
not directly spoken to the developers who were the last to support the
Amiga. Nor was there any reaction when we tried to make contact. The
VIScorp meeting in Toulouse that has now been announced lacks any kind
of organisation and was called without there being any recognisable
concept behind it. For this reason it is more than doubtful whether
even a sign of any constructive result can be expected to come out of
it, so that in our view it would be a pure waste of time to attend, as
we have repeatedly found in the recent year at ESCOM meetings. We
don't need a repeat of that." Let it be mentioned in passing that the
hope often expressed in the general discussion, i.e. that in VIScorp
Amiga will find itself taken over by a company that will finance the
development of a new generation of Amiga products more or less from
the petty cash, is something that Wolf Dietrich considers to be very
optimistic. "For a start we had exactly the same expectations a year
ago when everyone thought that the giant ESCOM would get things moving
at Amiga from a standing position and quickly produce a new generation
of Amiga computers for a more competitive price. Secondly we should
first wait and see whether the figures that have been bandied about in
the discussion concerning VIScorp's takeover of AT have any sort of
real fundament."
About phase 5 digital products
phase 5 digital products, based in Oberursel near Frankfurt, are
internationally operating manufacturers of hardware and software
products. The company is entirely owned by its founders, Gerald Carda
and Wolf Dietrich. Since the market launch of its first product line
in 1992 this company, which consists of an experienced team of the
first Amiga users and developers, quickly established itself as one of
the leading manufacturers in the Amiga market. Since 1992 its products
have been distinguished many times, including 20 awards for Product of
the Year in Amiga journals. In 1995 phase 5 supplied accessories to
the value of some DM 12 million (5.5 million ú or 8 million US$) in
the Amiga market alone. Since the Christmas season of 1995 almost
30,000 hardware products have been delivered. The product portfolio
for Amiga includes accelerator cards, SCSI controllers and graphics
cards. In these fields phase 5 digital products has repeatedly proved
itself to be manufacturer that is a forerunner and an innovative
leader, for instance in bringing out the first Zorro III-DMA-SCSI
controller world-wide, the Fastlane Z3, in producing the first 68030
card world-wide with a DMA-SCSI controller for the Amiga 1200, in
offering the first 68060 card world-wide for Amiga systems (the
Cyberstorm 060/50 for A4000), in manufacturing the first 64-bit
graphics card world-wide with full system-integrated 24-bit support
(the CyberVision64 for A3000/A4000) or in bringing out the first 68060
card for the A1200 world-wide, the Blizzard 1260. Along with intensive
development activities as a Beta developer for Motorola in the 68060
and PowerPC field, hardware developments at phase 5 include pure
research work in the field of multimedia high-performance DSPs and in
the latest development department ASE (advanced silicon engineering)
VLSI chip design. An expanding team of some 20 staff is currently
working on these projects at the company's headquarters in Oberursel
on premises covering an area of 960 square metres. In the adjoining
service area, which covers an area of almost 600 square metres, the
company, as from August 96, will be producing hardware products -
including the new PowerPC products - in its own, highly modern
manufacturing plant using the most recent manufacturing techniques.

Report:VISCORP meeting, 19th may Toulouse.
Freely distributable (you can write it in better English if you don't
change the sense).
I promise that i will do it for the people who were angry about the
fact that it was in France and who said they could not come.
My English is very bad, i have to practise a lot so you have to make
efforts to understand me.
I may have misunderstood some-things but i think i caught the most part
of this conference. Perhaps there may
be a few mistakes.
Thank you to my girlfriend Christine who helped me in the translation.
The people from ESCOM who were present are:
- Bill Buck (president), Don Gilbreath (CDTV), CARL Sassenrath (EXEC),
David Rosen, Raquel Velasco (very pretty)
Eric Laffont (Consultant in France for Viscorp), Petro Tyschtschenko
(president of Amiga Technologie).
The program was:
8h00-10h30 VISCORP conference
10h45-12h30 Consulting Internet report
14h30-16h00 FORUM DEVELOPERS, USERS, RETAILERS, DISTRIBUTORS, PRESS
16h15-17h15 Press conference
17h30 Coktail
Bill Buck has opened the conference.
He said that Viscorp wanted to go on supporting and selling Amigas.
He added that in 1997 there would be more Amiga sold as there are ever
been.
Viscorp will support Amiga clones like Draco and Phase5 computer.
Bill buck has received more than 2000 e-mails, so he said he was sorry
that he could not answer to all the people .
The Walker project was not possible before the end of the year, so it's
aborted.
There will be a new OS before the end of the year which will integrate
networks.
It will be provided with TCP/IP, PPP, SLIP, FTP, SMTP ...
RISCs projects are maintained but VISCORP is more thinking of the
Digital ALPHA processor than of the PPC.
Bill Buck has showed us the ED Set Top Box).
It was not the new one with Amiga chipset but a 3 years old one.
You operate it by a remote control. There are 2 faces: 1 for the
control ,another one for a mini keybord.
It works on TV. You have to clic on a graphic menu to choose what you
want to do:
My directory, Info lines, go online, gameroom, pay for view and a
setup.
You can record the people you are communicating with.
You can use Compuserve services (forum, info ...).
You can send FAX, internet E-Mails.
Ed is genlocked so that you can see video behind the ED display.
There is a system that enables you to pay with credit cards.
Interactive TV (you watch the film you want) was not available (you
need cable).
There will be a Web browser.
VISCORP showed us the prototype of the new ed main board with Amiga
chipsets.
It is based on 68EC20 like A1200 (it may change).
There are 4Mb Fast RAM, 2 Mo CHIP.
You can add a keyboard to it(they have to decide if its an Amiga or PC
keyboard).
Viscorp will keep floppy & hardrive controlers on this board.
The OS includes all networks capabilities (also a browser).
They want to increase AGA power.
ED could be sold by Telecom companies.
ED is able to handle ISA CARDS ???, Tuner, cable, MPEG, CDROM,
Ethernet, ISDN, DVD, DBS.
The Internet report showed that:
There are Amigafans all around the world:
22% USA
37% West Europea
8% EST Europea
5% ASIA
6% Australia
1% Africa
The Amiga fans said:
1:Don't let us down.
2:I like my Amiga.
3:I will buy a new Amiga if it stays an AMIGA.
4:They don't want to devellop for ed if they don't have new Amigas
5:They can spend their money for an Amiga that beats PCs.
Their Wishes:
1:Hardware to be more powerful.
2:AGA improvement.
3:good prices.
About Phase5:
VISCORP said they tried to contact them but Phase5 didn't answer.
About actual Amigas:
There are still in production. They will be sold until the next Amiga
generation.
I was at the devellopers forum:
The main questions and wishes were:
- CE approval?
- When ED available?
- When 1200 available for UK?
- Who will write the new OS.
- What tools for PowerPC.
- Standard libraries tools.
- Object oriented standard tool for GUI/IFF.
Members of Viscorp took into account these questions and will respond
in a near future.
They said that they would put RKM 3.1 on the net (via Viscorp site).
It will be translated in many languages.
An effort will be made for an object oriented standard tool for GUI and
IFF.
VISCORP insisted on the way that new Amigas had to exist because ED
devellopers will use Amigas.
They said that if you develloped a software or a game that would be
used for ED you would gain money
each time your software were used.
They showed us a 68060 board (for 4000T) that they would sold (I don't
know if it is alone or with A4000T).
Unofficial news & rumors:
There will be a middle range Amiga (not '30, not '40, so let me think
about '60).
For that project VISCORP is trading with Micronik.
The Alpha Amiga (300Mhz model) will be sold for less than 4000US$.
The AGA power should be increased by 3 or more.
People thought:
The people who were here was divided.
Some of them thought that Viscorp was a great thing for Amiga future.
The others said that Viscorp would only support ED or that ED could be
a commercial mistake like CDTV.
AT has components for 1 million (1200, 4000) Amigas, so they have to
sold them quickly before the next generation (good side) or perhaps
before nothing (bad side).
IRC
There was a "live" IRC during the meeting.
The person who was typing was someone had been taken in the crowd.
Sometimes Carl has took her place.
I don't know if this IRC has been published on the net.
Surprise !!!
An user came with his A1200 + 1260 board.
He has changed the 50 Mhz oscillator for a 64Mhz one.
It has been working for 3 months without any bugs.
My 60@50 Mhz has 92000 Dhrystones (AIBB test with 68000 code), his one
has 118000 !!!
(Don't forget that in Motorola's specs P90 has 75000 (checkit give the
same result) and 68060 has 210000(=optimised code)
He will try soon to put a 80Mhz oscillator (=150000 Dhrystones).
Bill Buck ended the conference saying that "Viscorp will support
Amiga".
Hope for ALPHA and PPC powerfull AMIGAs !!!

TITLE
Yak -- multi-purpose commodity
VERSION
2.12
AUTHORS
Philippe Bastiani, Gael Marziou and Nick Christie.
E-mail address: philippe.bastiani@ramses.fdn.org
DESCRIPTION
Yak stands for "Yet Another Kommodity" (never was any good at
spelling), and is a mouse/window manipulation program along the
same lines as MCP, MagicCX and lets you activating screens
and windows, inserting localized date.
FEATURES

vesti o tome, skinuto Amiga Web Dir-a:

Escom Files for Bankruptcy
July 15, 1996 (CUCUG) - According to the Associated Press, Escom
announced today that it would indeed file for actual bankruptcy rather
than the restructuring reported earlier. Other press accounts have
quoted internal sources at Escom which stated that the picture did not
look as if they could actually pull off a court-supervised debt
restructuring and would probably be forced into actual bankruptcy.
Today, a German, court-appointed administrator aggreed with that
assesment, deciding that Escom had little capital to even make it
through talks with its creditors.
The AP reported that this does not mean the end of Escom and that
they could still shake off their current woes with a new influx of
investor capital. However, as we reported earlier, Escom has already
tried that in weeks past with little success.
Escom's troubles began last year when new competition from
off-shore producers like Acer lowered prices and demand for PCs in
Europe weakened, bloating inventories and draining much-needed cash.

Escom Stock Trading Under Investigation
July 10, 1996 (CUCUG) - One more potential piece of bad news for
Germany's Escom, the soon-to-be-former owner of Amiga Technologies, hit
the wires recently. Reuters is now reporting that the company is under
investigation for possible insider trading by Germany's Securities
Trading Supervisory Office. In the few days prior to Escom's
announcement of their intentions to file for protection from creditors
last Wednesday, July 3, the German oversight agency (similar to the
Securities and Exchange Commision in the US) noted a "suspicious" surge
of sell-off trading of Escom shares.
Anke Reeh-Schild, a GTTSO spokesperson told Reuters, "The turnover seen
was very suspicious in comparison with previous levels," and went on to
note that the increase was eight to nine times higher than usual.
The investigation could take months to determine any wrong doing,
though, as data on all transactions and bank records must be analyzed.
No Escom officials are named in the investigation.

Tako je. Svi prodaju PC, a nema prodavaca Amige. Ako se negde i

Pitao sam u onoj novoj firmi (Meridijan?) za CD za Amigu i dobio
odgovor da je 400 DEM, a za PC je oko 100 DEM.
Dakle, ili nema programa, ili je hardver preskup.

An Open Message to the Amiga Community from Bill Buck, CEO, VIScorp
Chicago, IL
July 24, 1996
1. Escom AG and Amiga Technologies GmbH are in bankruptcy and
will cease to exist as corporate entities. VIScorp has
reached an agreement with the Trustee for the liquidation of
these companies and with the creditors of these companies
for the purchase of "Amiga." There were at least eleven
different banks or companies that had claims to be "owners"
of the technology and/or the inventory. Escom had
liabilities of over $250 million. Imagine the confusion...
2. The steps that we had to follow through the last three
months were painstaking. As the situation at Escom
deteriorated, we had to continually re-negotiate our
purchase contract. We could not speed-up the process. Many
things we wanted to begin immediately we have had to delay.
The situation at Amiga and Escom were extremely troubled.
This was in part because of the difficult financial and
management situations at Amiga and Escom, but also because
of how poorly organized the intellectual property had been
under Commodore. In the course of the Commodore bankruptcy
many problems developed that were never repaired.
3. The final (and last of three) purchase contract was signed
on Friday, 19 July. It cannot be changed; it has been
executed. The intellectual property of the former Commodore
and the inventory of the former Amiga Technologies will be
owned finally by VIScorp. The final paperwork will be
completed in the next 30 days. During this month, VIScorp
GmbH will be registered and Amiga Technologies will continue
to operate temporarily in bankruptcy for VIScorp.
4. Petro Tyschtschenko and his staff will continue to operate
from Germany. Raquel Velasco and Petro Tyschtschenko will be
the new General Managers of Amiga, to be known as VIScorp
GmbH. Al Duncan, a former General Manager of Commodore will
join VIScorp to manage the sales and distribution of VIScorp
and Amiga products in North America. Petro will continue to
operate from Germany and manage the existing business.
Raquel is looking for someone from the community to manage
the re-organization of the sales and distribution in Europe.
Please contact Raquel if you are the right person for this
job.
5. The engineering efforts of the former Amiga Technologies and
the on-going engineering of VIScorp will be combined and
professionally managed. We intend to begin to implement the
plans we outlined in Toulouse very shortly.
6. Please excuse our lack of communication with the community
over the last months. We were severely restricted from
communicating our activities. Please resend your emails to
any of the VIScorp staff if they have not been answered by
this letter. We simply could not answer all the emails.
7. Do not expect miracles from VIScorp, expect slow, but steady
progress.
Thank you for your continued support.
Best Regards,
Bill Buck

Escom AG Passes Away
Saturday, July 27, 1996 - The once mighty European PC manufacturer and
retail distributor, Escom AG, will most likely become a memory soon.
According to Reuters, the Dutch unit, Escom Netherlands, will be sold off
to a through a management buy-out which is backed by two Dutch venture
capital groups. The new company has announced that it will continue to sell
computers through its network of 34 stores but that about 20% of the
current workforce would be let go.
While this was good news for most of the Dutch employees, the UK division's
1,000 workers received very disturbing news late in the week when it was
decided that Escom UK would have to be shut down after no buyers were found
for the operation. Receivers for the company noted that discussions will
continue with potential investors but that the high costs of continuing the
operation have forced the decision to shut down.
Escom's sale of Amiga Technologies to Chicago-based VIScorp was finalized
on July 18th. VIScorp takes complete control of all Amiga-based assets on
the 19th of August.

Dear Amigans,
Many of you have been wondering what's happening with VIScorp,
the Amiga, and why my name is no longer on the vistv web site.
I hope this is not too long-winded for you, but here is a brief
summary of my story:
1. I joined VIScorp about a year ago as a consultant to help
them create new system software for the Amiga. I believed at
that time that they had the ability to take the Amiga into
several new, huge markets around the world. They made many
promises to me in order to get me to join the project.
2. In March 1996 VIScorp informed me that they planned to buy
Amiga Technologies. The reason was simple: for the vast
quantities of Amigas that they planned, it was cheaper to
buy AT then to pay the royalty. It seemed to me that this
could work, if they could come up with the money.
3. Over the months that followed, I made numerous suggestions
to VIScorp regarding what they needed to do to support and
further improve the Amiga. I even proposed a business plan
centered around the Amiga, as it seemed to me that you CAN
have an ALTERNATE computer for people who don't want PCs.
After all, what would our cars be like if only one company
produced them? The Amiga offered us a choice.
4. VIScorp never responded to my suggestions. Not once. In
fact, they kept me totally in the dark as to what they were
doing and what progress had been made on the AT deal. I
never knew from day to day what was going to happen next.
5. By August I was starting to tire of VIScorp and its unkept
promises to all of us. They were 110 days behind in paying
me, and I was very disappointed in the whole mess that they
had brought on the Amiga community, developers and dealers,
and myself. It had become clear to me that VIScorp was not
competent. I took a couple weeks off and went to Florida.
6. In September I tried to recruit RJ Mical to join the team. I
put a lot of energy into it, as RJ was skeptical of VIScorp.
I finally succeeded! Then, VIScorp blew him off. RJ and I
couldn't believe it. What were they doing?
7. Finally, I decided to focus 100% on what they had originally
hired me for: to create a TV set-top Amiga. Perhaps if we
could build a good demo, VIScorp could convince one of its
investors to contribute extra cash. By the end of September,
Don, Steve, Jim, and I had finished a dazzling prototype of
such an STB. In my opinion, it really showed off what the
Amiga could do as a STB. The software for it was entirely
written by Jim and I, because VIScorp had not been paying
any of the other contractors.
8. After delivering the prototype, I never heard a word back.
VIScorp was again far behind in payments. What were they
doing? What had gone wrong? What was next?
9. Whatever it was, I didn't want to be part of it any longer.
I've never seen such an idiotic, screwed-up, incompetent
company (and I am saying it mildly). VIScorp was worse than
Commodore, and I never thought that was possible. I took my
name off the web site, vowing not to be a part of this
lunacy.
So what can I say? Please don't flame me for doing this. I refuse
to be part of such a sloppy situation, regardless of my love for
the Amiga. Over the last 10 months I have heard from many of you,
and have sent nearly 1500 personal email replies to you. All I
can say is that I am sorry that I could not do more for you and
our Amiga Computer.
I am unsure what the future holds for the Amiga. Perhaps VIScorp
or some other company will scrape together enough cash to make
the AT purchase. We can only hope.
As for my future, I am going to return to what I do best:
operating systems and languages. You have not heard the last from
me. I can imagine a system much better than the Amiga.... now to
create it. Truely, only time will tell.
Stay in touch my friends.
Sincerely yours,
Carl Sassenrath

A evo i nnjegove naknadne poruke na ovu temu:
Follow Up Message From Carl Sassenrath
I have received a large volume of email asking what will now happen to the
Amiga. Even as one of its designers, I cannot offer you a solid, positive
answer. There are many paths from here. We are again back at the
crossroads. To me personally, I think the road must be toward a rebirth of
those core concepts that made the Amiga what it was, and I encourage all of
you to hold on, regardless of how desparate the situation may seem.
Please, my friends, remain the "rebels" that you are. It is up to each of
us to see to it that there always remains a choice, else I fear for our
future... and the future of all personal computing.
-=-
A lot of people have asked what I will do next. In general, I can say that
I am NOT pleased with the direction personal computers have taken over the
last decade. These systems are now hundreds of times faster, with hundreds
of times more memory. Yet, are we better off? Are we more productive? Have
they made life easier?
No. Not in the least. In some areas they've made the situation worse. It
reminds me of our federal government: requiring ever more money and
resources, but becoming bigger, slower, and dumber.
This is not a hardware problem. The software is to blame. We have become
enslaved by overly complex and twisted software. I'm talking here about
systems like MS Windows, C++, TCP/IP, HTML, etc. They are all junk-the work
of designers who really don't understand how our minds work or relate to
our personal human condition.
SIMPLE THINGS SHOULD BE SIMPLE TO DO! Yet, complex things should still be
possible. That is the kind of system I want to use, and that is what I am
going to build next. After creating the Amiga multitasking kernel, I didn't
stop thinking about operating systems, I just figured that someone else was
going to move us forward to the next best thing. It has not happened.
So now it has come time to start afresh. However, this time, I'm going to
create it for you and for me, not for some company whose CEO just wants to
get rich. It will be wonderfully elegant, pure, efficient, and simple.
I have already begun. The system will develop in two phases. The first is a
better means of expression, the second, a better means of operation. If you
want more info in the months ahead, link www.sassenrath.com into your web
browser site list and visit often.
So that is my journey, my future. I expect it to be a rough road at times,
but this is the path I must take. It is my sincere hope that many of you
Amigans will join me in the years ahead... with a system for the next
century.
Stay in touch and all the best to you in the years ahead.
Carl Sassenrath

Version 3.8 (12-Feb-97) (muimaster.library V19.31)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* MINOR SASG UPDATE *
Still not registered for MUI?
Check out www.sasg.com for great discounts NOW!
Changes for users:
- When tab-cycling through objects of a virtual group, MUI tries to
ensure that the surrounding active object frame is always visible.
- Added a little gimmick for registered users (OS 3.x required): Take a
digitized picture of yourself (approximately 80x100 pixels in size)
and copy it to "MUI:user.pic". MUI's preferences will then become a
little more personal :). Note that you can use any graphics format
(ilbm, gif, jpeg, etc) as long as you have a datatype to read it. In
other words: if you can view it with Multiview, MUI can display it
too. Take care that the picture is not too big, otherwise MUI might
fail to open the prefs window. Thanks again for supporting MUI and the
Amiga!
- Included new catalogs:
Portuguese by Fernando Nunes and Alexandre Gabriel
Spanish by Pedro Luis Mieza and Juan Antonio Ramirez
- Translations of PSI were still messed up. All catalog related problems
should finally be fixed now.
- Fixed a few more bugs concerning the appearance and refresh of help
bubbles.
- Fixed a possible deadlock that could occur when balancing objects were
used in certain combinations.
- Balancing could accidently mess up the display of active object frames.
- Implemented keyboard control for balance objects.
Changes for programmers:
- Reduced stack usage a little. Note well: this is no excuse for lazy
programmers! As mentioned in the MUI developer docs, the default stack
size of 4k is not enough for MUI programs! 8k is an acceptable
minimum.
- MUIA_Gauge_InfoText is now also possible for vertical gauge objects.
- Made MUIM_Window_Snapshot method public. See autodocs for details.
- MUI would accidently refuse to automatically move a listviews display
to the active entry, even though the MUIA_List_AutoJump flag was set.

Obratite pažnju, Amiga Technologies je juče praktično dobila novog vlasnika!
Gateway 2000 Acquires Assets of Amiga Technologies GmbH
North Sioux City, South Dakota, March 27 1997 - Gateway 2000 Inc.
(Nasdaq: Gate) today announced that the company has made an offer to
aquire the assets of AMIGA Technologies including all patents,
trademaks and trade names. The Company is a subsidary of ESCOM AG, a
German-based computer company that went into bankrupty in July of
1996. Amiga led the industry in combining computer graphics,
animation, and film sequences with stereo sound known today as
multimedia.
The offer has been accepted by the court-appointed Administrator in
Bankruptcy in Germany acting on behalf of AMIGA. The agreement is
subject to regulatory approval.
"This acquisition is good news for Gateway and customers of AMIGA,"
said Rick Snyder, president and COO of Gateway 2000. "It will
strengthen our intellectual property position and invigorate a company
that has been a pioneer in multimedia solutions and operating systems
technology."
AMIGA Technologies will be renamed AMIGA International. The company
will operate as a separate business unit and will retain its current
president, Petro Tyschtschenko, who will work to develop new products
for the AMIGA market.
"Gateway 2000 will give us new life and energy for the future," said
Tyschtschenko.

CUCUG Welcomes Gateway 2000 To The Amiga Community
CUCUG and The Amiga Web Directory are pleased to see the long wait
associated with simply knowing who the new owners will be is finally
over. While it's a little early to judge just what Gateway 2000's
long-term plans are for the Amiga, there are a number of very positive
things that can be said.
First, Gateway has financial resources and as far as we know, is
financially stable. They enjoyed sales of $5.04 billion with a 5%
after-tax net income last year, a record for Gateway. Secondly, this
is a company--unlike Commodore--which is not afraid of marketing and
advertising computers. Their voluminous print ads which dominate the
computer magazines are clever and eye-catching. Their recent
television spots are also entertaining and display the companies
products in a very positive light. Gateway just may spend a few
dollars advertising the Amiga. This alone will be a strong, postive
dynamic in the Amiga market.
Maybe even most importantly, regardless of what you think about Wintel
boxes, Gateway is known for a very high-quality product. While they
have had some problems handling exponential growth (they at one time
had one of the worst product support scores but have performed a
complete turn around in that area), their products have never seemed
to be compromised. We can probably look forward to high quality from
Gateway.
But as Amiga Report's Jason Compton points out, we should not grow too
euphoric at this point. The deal must still pass muster with German
regulators and we still do not yet know Gateway's long-term plan for
the Amiga. But, all signs do point in mostly positive directions.
CUCUG welcomes Gateway to the Amiga family and hopes that this signals
the rebirth of our favorite computer of all time.

Intangible Assets Manufacturing Responds to Amiga Acquisition
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 27, 1997 /UseNet News/ -- Intangible Assets
Manufacturing President, and former Commodore-Amiga Software Engineer,
Dale L. Larson, has issued the following statement in reaction to
today's news that Gateway 2000 has purchased the Amiga assets subject
to regulatory approval:
"I'm thrilled that the Amiga technologies have finally been purchased,
more so that they have been bought by a company with such tremendous
resources, visionary management, and customer-service orientation as
Gateway 2000. From their statement that they 'will work to develop new
products for the AMIGA market,' we conclude that the Amiga has a newly
bright future ahead of it. I trust that this will re-invigorate the
Amiga community and renew interest in our markets. We're looking
forward to a surge in sales of our Amiga products in the coming months
as a result of this announcement."
Intangible Assets Manufacturing produces a line of Amiga products,
including the book "Connect Your Amiga! A Guide to the Internet, LANs,
BBSs and Online Services", DiskSalv4, MRBackup, MegaBall4 and others.
IAM also publishes Internet-related books "Torn Shapes of Desire:
Internet Erotica" and "Lineland: Mortality and Mercy on the Internet's

Blast from the past: Gateway to buy remnants of Amiga
By Margaret Kane
PC Week Online
Gateway 2000 Inc. has offered to buy Amiga Technologies, the
now-bankrupt German company that launched the first multimedia machine
in 1985.
Earlier today, Gateway, based in North Sioux City, S.D., announced it
had applied to a German bankruptcy court to acquire the assets of
Amiga Technologies GmbH, a subsidiary of the ESCOM AG.
ESCOM acquired Amiga in April 1995 after that company went bankrupt,
and subsequently went bankrupt itself in July of last year.
Gateway said it planned to rename the company as Amiga International
and operate it as a separate business unit, developing new products
for the Amiga market. Petro Tyschtschenko, president of Amiga, will
stay on in the position.
A spokeswoman said Gateway could not comment beyond what was in its
official statement, pending approval of the deal from German
regulatory agencies.
The Amiga market, which is very small in the United States, has a
larger presence in Europe. The company's niche is mainly in the video
industry and three-dimensional rendering industry.
By comparison, Gateway has been very successful in promoting its
direct market model in the United States, but has yet to become a
household name in Europe.
"Maybe they're trying to use it to get more international exposure,"
said Ross Rubin, group director of consumer Internet technologies at
Jupiter Communications, in New York. "Gateway and Dell [Computer
Corp.] have been predominantly strong in domestic sales but not as
strong as their competitors overseas. They may be looking for
exposure."
Rubin also pointed out that Gateway has been experimenting in the
multimedia market, most notably with its Destination big-screen PC.
The Destination also marked Gateway's first foray into the retail
world.
"There's been a lot of talk about using Amiga technology for set-top
boxes," Rubin said. "The operating system is very high-performance on
modest hardware. It might be used as sort of a [network computer]
play."
But Rubin still seemed puzzled by the purchase.
"Gateway has been very successful at basically sticking to the Wintel
platform and party line through the years," he said. "There were a
couple of rumors a while back that they might license the Mac OS, but
they've just been kind of preaching the gospel very strongly for
years. So I do find it surprising they would invest in alternative OS
technology."

podržan je i Dual IDE (primary i secondary master/slave). Konačno je i
krajnjim korisnicima omogućeno da sami odaberu procesor koji žele
koristiti, naime, putem PGA podnožja moguće je staviti 68040 ili 68060 na
frekvencijama od 25 do 75(80) MHz. I na kraju, ali ne najmanje važno,
Boxer matična ploča, veličinom i rasporedom rupa za pričvrsne vijke,
uskladiva je sa svim PC kućištima. Voliš Amigu?

Autor Miamia, Holger Kruse, će biti na kompjuterskom sajmu Computer'97 u
Cologne, Njemačka od 14og do 17og Studenog 1997. Amiga International je
osigurao štand za Holgera, kao i za Angelu Schmidt, autoricu programa za

[11.11.97] Cygnus Ed 4 Professional
Vjerovali ili ne, glasine o reizdanju najrasprostranjenijeg tekst-editora
za Amigu su ipak bile istinite. Cygnus Editor 4 košta 69DEM, a moguća je
i nadgradnja s davno prodate verzije 3.5. Nova verzija uključuje još brže
skroliranje (kao da za sada nije dovoljno brzo), do 32000 karaktera u 1
liniji (webmasteri će uživati, kao da nisu), prepoznavanje C, C++, HTML
ključnih riječi, podršku za grafičke kartice, asinkrono printanje,
prebacivanje cijelog bloka u VELIKA ili mala slova, i ostalo a sve možete
potražiti na Shatzruheovom siteu (bez brige nagradna igra za Power Up
board je završila).
[10.11.97] Opet bug u Pentium procesorima

srušiti sustav. Instrukcija je ilegalna, pa se ne koristi u programima,
ali otvara mogućnost namjernog rušenja sustava od strane zlonamjernika!
Da li to znači da će u skladu s dosadašnjom praksom bugovi u Intel
procesorima postali "standardni dio" svakog budućeg PC-a opremljenog s
Intel procesorima? :)

BLIZZARD 603e Power Board finally went into production, passes CE approval
Oberursel, 2/5/98:
Good news for all users of the Amiga 1200 which are looking forward to
upgrade their computer to PowerPC performance: The BLIZZARD 603e Power
Board finally went into production by end of January, and will start
shipping in the second half of February. The finalization of this product,
which has been presented to the public already in November 1997 on the
Amiga Show in Cologne, had been delayed by some small but tricky design
problems that are now solved. Amiga 1200 users can now go for real
Power(PC)horses for their machines, too.
Phase 5 digital products has changed the product line and the nomenclature
of the BLIZZARD 603e Power Board, which will be available in speeds of 160,
200 and 250 MHz. Three major changes should be recognized by all customers:
1. There will be no more 030 version coming out (formerly named BLIZZARD
603e), only the 040/060 version will become available (formerly known as
BLIZZARD 603e+).
2. The '+' sign remains and indicates that the board is equipped with a
SCSI controller, while the standard BLIZZARD 603e comes without SCSI; this
decision has been made to offer a lower-cost entry product. The SCSI
controller can not be upgraded later, however; this is a compromise due to
the design requirements.
3. The BLIZZARD 603e and 603e+ boards will ship either with a 68LC040-25
(w/o FPU), a 68040-25 (w/ FPU) or a 68060.
The new product line looks as follows, with a recommended retail pricing in
UK Pounds and US Dollar as follows (prices for the UK incude VAT):
BLIZZARD 603e Power Board (Without SCSI-Controller)
á á68LC040-25 á68040-25 á68060-50
BLIZZARD 603e UKP 239 UKP 249 UKP 489
160 MHz USD 379 USD 399 USD 769á
BLIZZARD 603e UKP 299 UKP 309 UKP 539
200 MHz USD 469á USD 499á USD 869á
BLIZZARD 603e UKP 359 UKP 369 UKP 599
250 MHz USD 589 á USD 609 áUSD 979
BLIZZARD 603e+ Power Board (With SCSI-Controller)
á á68LC040-25 á68040-25 á68060-50
BLIZZARD 603e+ UKP 289 UKP 299 UKP 529
160 MHz USD 469 USD 499 USD 879á
BLIZZARD 603e+ UKP 349 UKP 369 UKP 599
200 MHz USD 569 USD 599 USD 969á
BLIZZARD 603e+ UKP 409 UKP 429 UKP 649
250 MHz USD 669 USD 689 USD 1049
Phase 5 digital products has put a marketing focus on the low-end boards
with inexpensive 040's and the 160 or 200 MHz PowerPC CPU. "These
entry-level products will provide the best price-performance relation, and
offer a substantial performance and functionality increase for A1200 users
for a reasonable investment" says Wolf Dietrich of Phase 5. "Therefore we
will start to ship the 160 MHz versions first, and later the 200 and 250
MHz versions, as we currently have some 9-10 weeks delivery lead time on
the faster PowerPC chips." The BLIZZARD 603e Power Board comes along with a
complete software demo package, including e.g. a MPEG player that allows
for MPEG playback in small resolutions even on the Amiga's AGA standard
graphics, and other interesting software.
Phase 5 digital products will offer special upgrade conditions for users of
a BLIZZARD 1240 T/ERC or a BLIZZARD 1260 Turbo Board; the upgrade offer
will be published on Phase 5's website in February, and will also be mailed
to registered users during February. Also available on Phase 5's website
will be a purchase information for users of 68040/68060 boards from other
vendors, who want to obtain a BLIZZARD 603e Power Board.
Users of BLIZZARD 1230-IV boards, which had been looking forward to a
68030-based PowerUP board as an upgrade, will also get special upgrade
conditions for the 68040-based BLIZZARD 603e Power Boards. The upgrade
offer will be published on Phase 5's website in February, and will also be
mailed to registered users within during February. Users who have no access
to the internet or don't get an upgrade mailing can also contact their
local distributor or dealer for the upgrade conditions.
BLIZZARD 603e and BLIZZARD 603e+ Power Boards pass CE approval
The BLIZZARD 603e and BLIZZARD 603e+ Power Boards, installed into a
standard Amiga 1200 desktop system, have passed the CE approval for Class A
devices in compliance with the EN55022 standard; this means that both
products can be used in standard Amiga 1200 desktops under the condition
that the user undertakes necessary actions in case that e.g. radio or
television reception in the near surrounding gets disturbed. Such necessary
actions would be the use of a shielded case, such as a common tower case
for the Amiga 1200, in which the combination of the Amiga 1200 motherboard
and the BLIZZARD 603e and BLIZZARD 603e+ Power Boards fully complies to the
EN55022 Class B standard. Phase 5 digital products points out that the use
of the BLIZZARD 603e or BLIZZARD 603e+ Power Board in a desktop Amiga 1200
may also require the usage of a replacement power supply, which are usually
provided with tower cases.

Ako su PPC Blizzardi hardverska budućnost, onda je ovo svakako temelj
softverske budućnosti Amige 1200...
Haage & Partner News January, 1998 - Storm Products Are Now Ready For
Power PC Programming
Over the course of the last year and a half we have been preparing our
development system for PowerPC-programming. Now that StormPowerASM is
finished we can offer you all the necessary tools: StormC for PowerPC,
StormPowerASM and WarpUP. This combination provides the programmer
with a total package for porting existing software to the new PowerPC
based Amigas. The process is simple, quick and efficient.
Together with the visual GUI-editor, StormWizard and with StormC for
p.OS; the Storm development system allows you to easily create
powerful program interfaces and to support the alternative p.OS
operating system.
Thus the Storm product line places the most modern development tools
directly in the hand's of the programmer. It also offers great
flexibility for supporting all possibilities for future Amiga
development.
StormPowerASM for PowerPC
The latest member of the Storm family is StormPowerASM, a
PowerPC-assembler for Amiga computers. It supports the entire PowerPC
instruction set and on top of that offers several hundred extended
mnemonics that make programming easier and greatly increase source
code readability. It has outstanding macro-abilities and the support
of floating-point expressions and -operators prove the high level of
this new PowerPC programming system.
The documentation describes programming the PowerPC. A list of all
macros and directives (featuring extensive descriptions) is also part
of the documentation, as well as detailed information on our
hardware-layer.
StormC 3.0 for PowerPC
For some time now the PowerPC add-on for StormC has been available.
This enables you to flexibly program the dual-processor boards by
phase5 and any future PowerPC-boards. With the extended hunk-format
(EHF); mixed-binaries, fat-binaries, and even PowerPC-native
shared-libraries can be created. The task of porting already existing
software is greatly simplified by this. Investing in this powerful
add-on will pay off in almost no time because it saves you a lot of
work.
WarpUP for PowerPC
There is one question software houses are currently asking themselves:
does it pay to port a program to the PowerPC? What makes the right
decision easier is a software-interface to the hardware which enables
PowerPC-software to use future PowerPC-developments from Amiga Inc. or
third parties without having to modify the software. This is exactly
what WarpUP offers. Through the use of a so-called
hardware-abstraction-layer (HAL) WarpUP places a layer between the
hardware and the user-applications. This layer enables
PowerPC-software to function with any PowerPC-hardware. For every
software house this is the starting gun into a new era of
PowerPC-development on the Amiga.
StormC 3.0 now also for 68k AmigaOS
The most important feature of this version is the new project
assistant which makes putting together a project with all source code
modules and libraries a matter of a few mouse clicks. The updated
StormED is now able to manage bookmarks and offers a better way to
individually extend the syntax dictionary. In the debugger, the
resource-tracking has been improved and the disassembler now is
faster, better and more Motorola compliant. The entire instruction set
and all addressing modes of the 68k CPUs are supported. This makes the
debugging even of hand-written assembly routines and ROM code much
easier.
StormWizard 2.2 for AmigaOS and p.OS
The new version of the visual GUI editor has been completely
re-worked. Almost all objects are now displayed significantly faster.
On top of that a new compatibility mode ensures that interfaces
created using StormWizard can be modified by tools such as
VisualPrefs. The fully developed functions of StormWizard 2.2 allow
easy and quick creation of complex interfaces which then can be used
with AmigaOS and p.OS
_____________
HAAGE & PARTNER is the leading manufacturer of Development Systems and
Applications for the Amiga family of computers. The Storm series
(StormC, StormWizard, StormPowerASM) for 68K AmigaOS, PowerPC
(PowerUP) and p.OS provide a powerful suite of programming tools. Our
latest project is MERAPI, which will bring the power of JAVA to the
Amiga.
HAAGE & PARTNER is also the developer and/or distributor of several
cutting edge applications including: ArtEffect, PowerEffects,
EasyWriter, DrawStudio, Tornado3D and NetConnect. Our mission is to
provide the Amiga market with the most effective tools and
applications possible. It's not enough to just ask: "Where do you want
to go?" At Haage & Partner weare harnessing the power of the Amiga to
actually help get you there!

Netscape announces plans to make Next-Generation Communicator source code
available free on the Net
Bold Move To Harness Creative Power Of Thousands Of Internet
Developers; Company Makes Netscape Navigator And Communicator 4.0
Immediately Free For All Users, Seeding Market For Enterprise And
Netcenter Businesses
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (January 22, 1998) -- Netscape Communications
Corporation (NASDAQ: NSCP) today announced bold plans to make the
source code for the next generation of its highly popular Netscape
Communicator client software available for free licensing on the
Internet. The company plans to post the source code beginning with the
first Netscape Communicator 5.0 developer release, expected by the end
of the first quarter of 1998. This aggressive move will enable
Netscape to harness the creative power of thousands of programmers on
the Internet by incorporating their best enhancements into future
versions of Netscape's software. This strategy is designed to
accelerate development and free distribution by Netscape of future
high-quality versions of Netscape Communicator to business customers
and individuals, further seeding the market for Netscape's enterprise
solutions and Netcenter business.
In addition, the company is making its currently available Netscape
Navigator and Communicator Standard Edition 4.0 software products
immediately free for all users. With this action, Netscape makes it
easier than ever for individuals at home, at school or at work to
choose the world's most popular Internet client software as their
preferred interface to the Internet.
"The time is right for us to take the bold action of making our client
free - and we are going even further by committing to post the source
code for free for Communicator 5.0," said Jim Barksdale, Netscape's
president and chief executive officer. "By giving away the source code
for future versions, we can ignite the creative energies of the entire
Net community and fuel unprecedented levels of innovation in the
browser market. Our customers can benefit from world-class technology
advancements; the development community gains access to a whole new
market opportunity; and Netscape's core businesses benefit from the
proliferation of the market-leading client software."
Netscape plans to make Netscape Communicator 5.0 source code available
for modification and redistribution beginning later this quarter with
the first developer release of the product. The company will handle
free source distribution with a license which allows source code
modification and redistribution and provides for free availability of
source code versions, building on the heritage of the GNU Public
License (GPL), familiar to developers on the Net. Netscape intends to
create a special Web site service where all interested parties can
download the source code, post their enhancements, take part in
newsgroup discussions, and obtain and share Communicator-related
information with others in the Internet community. Netscape will also
continue to develop new technologies and offer periodic certified,
high-quality, supported releases of its Netscape Communicator and
Navigator products, incorporating some of the best features created by
this dynamic community.
The ubiquity of Netscape's client software facilitates Netscape's
strategy of linking millions of individuals to businesses. Today's
announcements will help to further proliferate Netscape's
award-winning client software which today has an installed base of
more than 68 million, providing a ready market for businesses using
Netscape's Networked Enterprise software solutions and Netscape
Netcenter services. Netscape's research indicates that in the
education market where Netscape's products are free, the Netscape
client software commands approximately 90 percent share, indicating
that users tend to choose Netscape when the choice is freely
available. Making its browser software free also will enable Netscape
to continue to drive Internet standards, maximize the number of users
on the Internet, and expand the third-party community of companies and
products that take advantage of the Netscape software platform.
Netscape has successfully shifted its business over the past year
toward enterprise software sales and to revenues from its Web site
business, and away from standalone client revenues. In the third
quarter of 1997, standalone client revenues represented approximately
18 percent of Netscape's revenue, with the rest coming from enterprise
software, services and the Web site. Preliminary results for the
fourth quarter of 1997, which Netscape announced January 5, show
standalone client revenues decreased to approximately 13 percent in
the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of 1996 by comparison,
standalone client revenue represented approximately 45 percent of
Netscape's revenue.
In conjunction with its free client, Netscape separately announced
today that it is launching a host of enhanced products and services
that leverage its free client software to make it easy for enterprise
and individual customers to adopt Netscape solutions. The new products
and services reinforce Netscape's strategy of leveraging market
penetration of its popular client software and its busy Internet site
to seed further sales of Netscape software solutions in the home and
business markets. The new products and services include enhanced
subscription and support packages, an investment protection program
for Netscape Communicator users, new reduced pricing on Netscape's
retail and enterprise client products, new Premium Services on its
Netscape Netcenter online service and Netscape SuiteSpot server
software upgrades featuring Netscape client software.
In addition, the company separately announced the launch of an
aggressive new software distribution program called "Unlimited
Distribution" to broadly distribute its market-leading Internet client
software for free. Unlimited Distribution enables Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs),
telecommunications companies, Web content providers, publishers and
software developers to download and redistribute Netscape Communicator
and Netscape Navigator easily with "no strings attached." In addition,
beginning immediately, individual users can download Netscape
Communicator or Navigator for free, register for Netscape Netcenter
and, beginning tomorrow, enter the Choose Netscape Sweepstakes to win
exciting travel-related prizes including a grand prize of two
all-inclusive, seven-night tropical resort vacations.
Individuals can download a free copy of Netscape Communicator client
software or the Netscape Navigator browser from the Netscape home page
at http://home.netscape.com, or by clicking on any of the thousands of
"Netscape Now" buttons on the Internet. Netscape Communicator
Professional Edition, which adds features for enterprise customers,
will be available for US$29.
Netscape Communications Corporation is a premier provider of open
software for linking people and information over enterprise networks
and the Internet. The company offers a full line of Netscape Navigator
clients, servers, development tools and commercial applications to
create a complete platform for next-generation, live online
applications. Traded on NASDAQ under the symbol "NSCP," Netscape
Communications Corporation is based in Mountain View, California.
Additional information on Netscape Communications Corporation is

Nova Design Announces ImageFX 3.0
Nova Design, Inc., producers of the award winning ImageFX package and
the highly received Aladdin 4D package, are proud to announce that the
exciting version 3.0 upgrade to ImageFX is now available! ImageFX has
been the required graphics application for all Amiga owners and has
been a part of Video Toaster/Flyer owner's toolkits for years.
Combining painting, image file format conversion, image processing,
and special effects, ImageFX is the undisputed leader in graphics
manipulation on the Amiga.
"ImageFX 3.0 can be called the 'Users Request' upgrade as it is built
upon the input of our users.", says Bob Fisher, Vice-President in
charge of sales at Nova Design, Inc. "We've made wonderful changes to
the interface, adding instant asynchronous redrawing of your images,
larger previews that can be magnified, multiple image windows, real
image layers, and many more special effects!"
Highlights of ImageFX 3.0
The interface still follows professional standards for the Amiga and
the video and film industry with its paintbox style approach. This has
been built on in ImageFX 3.0 to allow child menus to remain open for
quick access to frequently used functions, larger effects previews
that you can zoom in and out of and move around in, font sensitivity,
multiple image windows including the ability to open multiple windows
for the same image, real image layers that allow you to compose
complex composited images that can be modified over and over with
ease, and many other improvements throughout.
Cross platform connectivity has been a top concern with ImageFX, from
its Video Toaster/Flyer support, to its wide range of image file
format support for all computer platform image formats. With this new
release ImageFX improves its Flyer support and also now gains support
for the Photoshop native file format so that layered images can be
shared from Photoshop to ImageFX. ImageFX also now directly supports
loading, and preserving, color-mapped (CMAP) image data for quick,
accurate, conversion of these formats.
Special effects have always been one of the touchstones of the power
of ImageFX. From the earliest days ImageFX pioneered bringing high-end
"Hollywood-style" special effects to the desktop with it's morphing
and warping, wire removal, lightning and fire effects. The effects in
this release extend this even further!
The all-new Clouds module allows you to generate true fractal clouds
that can animate their movement and evolve over time, via batch
processing, from one form to another. The clouds can be layered to
create three-dimensional effects and combine with custom, or supplied,
palettes to create wild plasma designs as well.
Scatter is an amazing new effect that can shatter an image into pieces
as small as a single pixel and blast them apart in many different
patterns. This can be used for artistic designs or for dramatic
transitions.
Also new in ImageFX 3.0 is Splash. Splash uses ray tracing and bump
mapping to create liquid simulations of rain, water ski surf,
gelatinous wiggles and more. The effect can be batched to animate
puddles of rain water and create highly organic transitions.
A classic effect from other computer platforms, Pagecurler, has been
added as well. This can add a cool curled page effect to the edge of
an image or make letters appear to peel off of the page!
The true gem in the new effects is called FXForge. FXForge uses simple
mathematical expressions that, when applied against each pixel in the
image, can create hundreds upon hundreds of new effects. It uses a
superset of the same technology used in Adobeń Photoshop's Filter
Factoryń plug-in and is completely compatible to formulas for effects
created for that package. Due to the overwhelming popularity of these
formulas, you can find hundreds, if not thousands, of them available
on the Internet. Experienced users can create these as well to extend
their toolkit of special effects on their own! Unique to ImageFX's
FXForge is the ability to animate the parameters and access ImageFX's
swap buffer for transitional effects as well!
Ordering the Upgrade
The upgrade from the ImageFX 2.0 through 2.6 release is only $79.95
plus shipping. ($5 in the US, $10 elsewhere) Versions of ImageFX prior
to 2.0 can be upgraded for only $124.95. You can order via
1-800-IMAGE-69 in the US and Canada or call (804) 282-1157 elsewhere.
Orders can also be faxed to (804) 282-3768 or mailed to our address.
Preorders are now being taken. ImageFX 3.0 is expected to ship after
Febuary 15th!
ImageFX will also be available, new, through your local Amiga dealer
or via mail order.

founder and President Mike Kulas had this to say, "We figured a lot of
people aspiring to work in the game industry would like to see
production quality code. There are two reasons for this. One, you can
learn a lot by looking at working code. Two, people will see that you
can write a decent game without writing beautiful code."
Kevin Bentley, maintainer of the Descent Developer Resources and
author of Kahn, has agreed to support this code base through his
website at www.ladder.org/ddr. Questions or comments concerning the
code may be directed to the previous website. Please do not contact
Parallax Software, its employees or its affiliates.
Parallax Software Corporation (www.pxsoftware.com) was founded in
1993. Descent (for PC and Mac) was released in 1995. Descent (for
Playstation), Descent II (for PC & Mac), and Descent Maximum (for
Playstation) were released in 1996.

Da li neko zna zašto više nema Amiga Report-a na Aminet-u?
novosti.371ldjordje,
Evo ga AmiMag u LHA pakovanju :)
Nego, kako se na atariju čita Amiga Guide format?
amag14g.lhanovosti.372vpoznanovic,
>> Da li neko zna zašto više nema Amiga Report-a na Aminet-u?
Zato što u međuvremenu nije izašao ni jedan novi broj. Šaljem zvanično
objašnjenje autora, objavljeno baš prije neki dan.
Inače, što se tiče tih elektronskih časopisa, tu se bar ne možemo
požaliti. Sad ih, što online, što offline, imamo baš dosta.
Amiga Report update from Jason Compton
Amiga Report delays
First off, no, Amiga Report has not been cancelled. We still have all
of our Amiga equipment and the same dedication to producing the
world's longest running online Amiga publication.
The problem as of late has been that the equipment and our schedules
have not been compatible with this goal.
Shortly before Christmas, in an accident of bizarre proportions, the
main Amiga Report 4000T was damaged and put out of commission. It took
over 6 weeks to get the problem fixed--which wound up being a fairly
simple damaged cable.
Since recovering the 4000T, available time to write and produce Amiga
Report has unfortunately been scarce. Both Assistant Editor Katherine
Nelson and I have been extremely busy. The bad news is that until
about mid-June, my time will be pulled in a number of very important
and time-consuming directions.
So, here's the bottom line.
Amiga Report will continue to be produced into the forseeable future.
I can't guarantee when our first issue of 1998 will be released. The
best guess I can give at this point is "March."
I also can't guarantee when 6.02 will follow. April is somewhat
unlikely. Late May-early June is more likely.
Despite the trend there's no conscious effort to pull back on AR's
production--and no, this isn't due to our move to HTML. We don't
-want- AR to be quarterly--we never consciously wanted it to be
bimonthly, or monthly even--but at times over the past couple years
that has been the only way to make it work, so that is how it has
worked.
Thank you all for your patience. You can stop sending me
panic-stricken e-mail now. :)

Hvala Moderatoru na iscrpnoj informaciji ;)
Pozdrav,
Đole
novosti.374vpoznanovic,
Opet sam malo svratio do home page-a hrvatskog časopisa za Amigu, Warp...
Evo nekih novosti sa Amiga scene za koje su oni smatrali da ih treba
izdvojiti...
Warp Novosti - Najnovije vijesti i govorkanja o Amigi...
[29.04.98] Potpišite peticiju za Amiga RealAudio.
Mnogi od nas su danas dobili mail u kojem se traži RealAudio za Amigu.
Warp podržava ideju. Kliknite na sličicu ne bi li potpisali peticiju.
[24.04.98] Amiga ICQ pred izlaskom. Prestanite mailati.
Uspjeli smo na silu. Odgovoreno je. AmigaICQ je sada jako, jako blizu.
Prestanite mailati Mirabilisu.
[23.04.98] Amiga ICQ pred izlaskom. Sudjelujte svi.
Brian Gilbert, autor Amiga porta popularnog internet servisa - ICQ,
zatražio je pomoć od svih nas Amigaša u dovršenju AmiICQ-a, (na istom
linku možete pogledati screenshotove i vidjeti koliko je posla već
završeno). Brian pokušava sklopiti sporazum o realizaciji porta sa
Mirabilisom, koji drži prava na copyright ICQ-a. Usprkos obećanju brzog
odgovora od strane Mirabilisa, Brian ni nakon 2 tjedna nije dobio nikakav
odgovor na svoja traženja, iako je još davno postignut načelni sporazum o
Amiga portu.
Ukoliko hoćete pomoći da se ICQ pojavi na Amigi, sudjelujte u pritisku
mnoge Amigašice / Amigaša, pošaljite mail slijedećeg sadržaja na doljnje
3 adrese:
Why have you not replied to Brian Gilbert's Proposal as promised. Why
aren't you supporting the Amiga platform. You have a group of people
offering to make AmigaICQ for you free of charge while also signing NDA's
to assure the security of your protocol and yet you still won't even
grant them decent communication to try and negotiate properly with you.
Što češće e-mailove šaljite na adrese: sefi@icq.com, yair@icq.com,
info@icq.com.
Naravno da ovo nećete prepisivati: koristite copy to clipboard funkciju
u browseru, i samo paste from clipboard u vašem omiljenom e-mail programu.
Tj., sgotovite to u doslovno 2 poteza mišem i standardnim [RCOMMAND][C],
[RCOMMAND][V] tipkama, za body poruke i u [To:] polje za adrese.
[23.04.98] Amiga Front 4
I dalje objavljujemo informacije o izlasku novih brojeva srpskog Amiga
časopisa za igre: Amiga Front. Ovoga puta broja 4. (Klikni na link za
download (688kB)).
[21.04.98] Power BBS - Amiga BBS!
Skrećemo pažnju svim Warpovcima na Power BBS koji postoji još od 1996-e i
radi na Amigi 1200 opremljenoj sa 68030/50MHz/10Mb RAM/1.7Gb+1.1Gb
HDD/CD-ROM. SysOp BBS-a je Šasa Lovrić, tel. broj BBS-a je 01/6527-512
(22-07h), brzina 33600 bps i FluffyNet adresa 888:1100/0. Od ostalih
zanimljivosti izdvajamo izvanredan sadržaj opremljen sa odličnim on-line
igrama, raznim informacijama, novostima i ono najvažnije - puno
sortiranih i izabranih datoteka! Power BBS također podržava i QWK i BW
offline pakete. Podržite Power BBS - neprofitabilan Amiga BBS!
[19.04.98] Amiga Front 3
I dalje objavljujemo informacije o izlasku novih brojeva srpskog Amiga
časopisa za igre: Amiga Front. Ovoga puta broja 3. (Klikni na link za
download (698kB)).
[12.04.98] WEAZEL nadmudrio CARNET!
Imate li problema sa slanjem pošte preko javnih modemskih ulaza na
CARNET-u ili HPT-u? Ti su problemi sada rješeni pomoću malog programčića
pod imenom WEAZEL čiji je autor naš Amigaš Nikola Fox
(nfox@public.srce.hr). Najjednostavniji način korištenja tog programa je
kao eksterni modul drugim mail programima (trenutno je poznat jedino
Eucalyptus) koji podržavaju tu opciju čime se može zamijeniti upotreba
SMTP protokola za slanje pošte. Trenutno je autor izdao 1.1 verziju i
obećao je skori hrvatski prijevod uputstva. Weazel možete skinuti i s
Planet Amineta. WEAZEL se takodjer može naći i na Warpovoj kanti .
[09.04.98] Novi Photogenics i na PPCu
Prema riječima Paula Nolana, autora Photogenicsa, oko svibnja ove godine
izlazi novi Photogenics. Uključene su verzije za PPC i 680x0, rad sa
animacijama, opcija za skeniranje, efekti u realnom vremenu, novi
toolbar, potpuno otvoren API za rađenje vlastitih efekata, itd.
Animacijski efekti uključuju: kreiranje vatre u realnom vremenu,
bljeskutanja, itd.
[02.04.98] Izašao je Wordworth 7
Digita International izdala je nedavno novu verziju popularnog Amiga
tekst procesora. Najveće novosti u "sedmici" odnose se na ispravljanje
bugova iz prethodnih verzija, kao i dodatak novih i nekih neoprostivo do
sada ispuštenih funkcija od čega su posebno značajni linkable text
frames, snap to grid, automatic aligment i mnoga druga poboljšanja.
Ostale postojeće funkcije, kao i opis mogućnosti samog Wordwortha 6
vjerni su čitatelji koji podržavaju prvi hrvatski Amiga časopis mogli
pročitati u samom Warpu.
[01.04.98] Tomb Raider za Amigu
Puno se priča da je za Amigu portana verzija još jedne popularne igre s
PCa: Tomb Raider. Nešto je manje uvjerljiva priča o portanju Duke
Nuk'ema.
[01.04.98] Novi Amiga Front
Tražili ste da objavimo novi srpski Amiga časopis za download: Amiga
Front (697kB). Ima zgodnih stvari, manje za ono što bi trebalo biti
(igre), ali zato je tu dobar mod.RobertProsinečki. Uživajte.
[28.03.98] Izašao je novi CygnusEd
Najfriškiji patch za CygnusEd sa v4.2 na 4.14, sa mnoštvom ispravljenih
bugova (niste ni znali da ih ima), i dodatnim opcijama. Lista featura je
previše dugačka, pa pogledajte sami.
[25.03.98] WWWWarp ispoliran
Uvažili smo mišljenja i primjedbe mnogih Amigaša, i ispravili stvari koje
su Vas živcirale. Muzika na WWWWarpu, naravno, ostaje, jer nas ima puno
više kojima se ta koncepcija sviđa. I ubuduće ćemo nastojati mijenjati
muzičku podlogu, ovisno o praznicima, i raspoloženju.
[26.03.98] Ne bi ja ne
Pod stranicom Ja bi ja, uvedeno je dodatno glasovanje za po Vašem
mišljenju najgori software za Amigu, pa iskalite svoj virtualni bijes.
Uskoro će biti i objavljeni rezultati Vašeg dosadašnjeg glasovanja.
[25.03.98] Četiri EIDE - DIY (uradi sam)
Imate li 2 harda i CD ROM, i htjeli bi ih spojiti da više ne morate
čupati EIDE konektor iz ekstra hard diska u CD ROM? Znate li sami raditi
elektroničke pločice (za ovo ne treba biti nikakav ekspert)? Ako je
odgovor potvrdan, možete pogledati na Warpovu Kantu za PCB layout vodova.
[22.03.98] Od danas WWWWarp objavljuje i Vaše novouređene siteove
Pošaljite nam adresu Vašeg renoviranog ili tek uploadanog sitea, bilo na
jedan od brojnih formulara na WWWWarpu, ili slanjem Warp e-maila. Ta
informacija će biti objavljena i na ovom mjestu. Jedini je uvjet da ste
ili Amigaš ili Amigašica.
[22.03.98] Važno: molimo, pročitajte
Jeste li primijetili frišku stranicu: Hrvamigači?
Radi se o stranici na kojoj možete lako pronaći sebe i svoje prijatelje,
uspostaviti kontakte s Amigašima iz svoga lijepog grada, itd. Objavljene
informacije su date u najboljoj namjeri i sadržavaju samo osnovne podatke
o dotičnom Amigašu (provjerite). Stranica može sadržavati neke netočne
podatke, kako o Vama, tako i o Vašim kolegerima. Zato molimo sve koji
ovo čitaju da provjere podatke, kako o sebi, tako i ostalima kojih se
mogu sjetiti, pa ako nekoga ne možete pronaći, ili netko više nije
Amigaš, ili vidite neki netočan podatak, javite nam, bilo Warpom e-mailom
ili jednostavno, popunjavanjem pripremljenog formulara, kojeg ćete lako
naći na dotičnoj stranici. Naravno, stranicu možete cachirati, spustiti
vezu, malo bolje pogledati, ispuniti formular, spojiti se nazad, i onda
poslati (ako hoćete uštediti telefonske impulse). Nadamo se da ćete nam
pomoći, pogotovo jer nam je ovo svima u interesu, bez obzira da li ste
nabavili svoj broj Warpa ili ne.
[16.03.98] pre\box - phase 5 Amiga klon!
Phase 5 je kako se i očekivalo predstavio novo Amiga OS kompatibilno
računalo zasnovano na standardnim komponentama i čak četiri PPC procesora
planirano za kraj 98-e. Kao osnova za ovakav sustav koristi se već
dokazana PowerUP tehnologija i CybergraphX RTG software. Više
informacija i impresivne specifikacije mogu se pogledati na pre\box.
[16.03.98] Amiga Party u čakovcu se odgađa
Iz organizacijskih razloga Amiga Party u Čakovcu se nakratko odgađa za
3-5. travnja ove godine. Više informacija, pitanja, prijedloge o ovom
HR-Amiga događaju mogu se dobiti na marko-barbaric@usa.net.
[15.03.98] Cut'n paste modul za Magellana
Andrew Dunbar, autor mnogih, tj. većine modula za Magellana, složio je
ARexx modul: Cut'n Paste koji će svima koji su se razmazili na sličnu
Windows 95 cut/copy/paste lister funkciju, značiti mnogo. Modul je
potpuno autonfigurabilan, a zahvaljujući intuitionu i odmah raspoloživ.
Ha, probajte tako nešto napraviti na Windowsima: običnom copy naredbom,
i bez reboota, i sve skupa u 1506 bytes!
[10.03.98] IBROWSE 1.20 je definitivno izašao!
Da vijest, viješčina koja će obradovati mnogo web-surfera. Eto,
pogledajte pod HiSoft, Omnipresence uobičajeno kasni. Ako ne znate
dotične linkove, potražite pod pertlama.
[10.03.98] phase 5 je licencirao AmigaOS 3.1
phase 5 je s Amiga Int. postigao dogovor o licenciranju AmigaOS-a 3.1.
Licenca dozvoljava korištenje AmigaOS 3.1 u budućim PowerUP projektima
poput novog samostalnog Amiga modela zasnovanog na PowerUP tehnologiji i
AmigaOS-u. Budući da je phase 5 licencirao samo AmigaOS, a ne i AGA
čipove novi će Amiga klon biti zasnovan na standadnim komponentama.
Osnove za veliki dio hardvera takve Amige su već razvijene (PowerUP PPC
kartice, Permedia 2, SCSI) što također vrijedi i za softverski dio
(PowerUP i Cybergraphics sistemski softver). Phase 5 izjavljuje da ovako
potvrđuje svoju vezanost za Amigu, dok Amiga Int. potvrđuje kako ova
licenca znači novi korak prema bržim i moćnijim Amiga kompatibilnim
sustavima.
[10.03.98] UPOZORENJE svim Warpovcima!
Arhiva po imenom ReOrgIt.lha (52279 bytes) na Planet Aminetu sadrži virus
koji se aktivira kod pokretanja programa ReOrgIt.exe (60732 bytes) i
briše sistemske datoteke "startup-sequence" i "user-startup"! Čuvajte se
spomenute arhive!
[03.03.98] Blizzardi 603e u prodaji!
Konačno je stigao taj dan kada i vlasnici Amiga 1200 mogu unaprijediti
svoje "Prijateljice" na PowerPC perfomanse jer su toliko očekivani
Blizzardi 603e u prodaji! Kartice su opet doživjele neke preinake u
designu, pa sada posjeduju još sofisticiraniji sustav hlađenja (sličan,
ali manje masivan onom istom iz Pentium II procesora) skučenog A1200
trapdoora. Cijene Blizzarda kreću se od 649 DM za najslabiji entry model
sa PPC603e/160 MHz i 68LC040/25 MHz do 1669 DM PPC603e/250 MHz i 68060/50
MHz za top model. Trenutno još nisu dostupne verzije ovih kartica sa
ugrađenim Fast SCSI II kontrolerom. Više informacija o svemu na:
PowerUP.
[03.03.98] NAJBRŽA AMIGA NA SVIJETU - PPC 604e/233 MHz!!
Phase 5 je CYBERSTORM PPC liniju akceleratora obogatio novim modelom sa
PowerPC 604e procesorom na 233 MHz! Uskoro se očekuju i sve brže verzije
jer Motorola i IBM proizvode 604e procesore sve do vrtoglavih 350 MHz.
Više informacija o svemu na PowerUP.

Jedna, za Amigu, vrlo važna novost...
Opera Software Announces Development of Amiga Version
13 May 1998
Following the tremendous reponse to its Project Magic initiative,
Opera Software AS today announced the development of an Amiga version
of its popular browser. The development will be carried out by
Reading, UK, based company Ramjam Consultants Ltd, under the
leadership of Tim Corringham.
"We are delighted to be involved in porting Opera to the Amiga. Opera
has an Amiga 'feel' to it even under Windows 95, so I'm confident it
will make a high-quality Amiga application, and will offer a degree of
commonality with Windows 95 that few applications achieve", says
Corringham.
"Being a long-time Amiga user myself, it provides me with great
pleasure to announce the official development of Opera for the Amiga
platform", adds Business Director for Opera Software, Jon von
Tetzchner. "It was one of our goals to make Opera available to as many
Internet users as possible, and being able to offer an Amiga version
not only adds credibility to Opera as an efficient and user-friendly
application, but also constitutes a boost to the Amiga platform."
"This step is just the logical result of Project Magic, which since
its inception has seen several thousands of users pledging their
support for Opera for platforms other than MS Windows. The Amiga
community has come out in full force, and we are proud to be able to
soon offer a product that is as advanced, efficient and frugal as the
Operating System it runs on", explains Helmar Rudolph, initiator and
manager of Project Magic for Opera Software.
Both companies aim at a release date of December 98, just in time for
the Christmas shopping season, providing a source of fun and
satisfaction for many loyal and die-hard Amiga followers.
Opera for the Amiga is expected to support the same level on
functionality as its Windows counterpart, thus putting it at the
forefront of browsers on the Amiga platform.
The price for this version is not yet established, but it is planned
to keep it in line with the Windows version.
novosti.376ventura,
jel ima neko nekie novosti u vezi Amige sa PowerPC procesorom na 200Mhz
mozda kupim tu masinu ako je pala cena... (bila je negde oko 7800dem)
VeNTuRa
novosti.377ldjordje,
Ne znam Koja je to Amiga od 7800 DEM ali evo ti neke cene pa vidi da li
ti odgovara nešto od toga ...

Warp Novosti - Najnovije vijesti i govorkanja o Amigi...
[23.09.98] Projekt ČELIK
Inicijativa PowerPC podrške na Warp Web stranicama prerasla je nakon
konzultacija uredništva u projekt pod imenom ČELIK koji će inkorporirati
kompletnu hardversku Amiga podršku uključujući i već prije najavljeni
WARP PowerPC Station. Zahvajujemo svima koji su glasali i tako pokazali
interes za jednu ovakvu inicijativu. Prvi rezultati ove nove rubrike na
Warp Webu vidjeti će se u slijedećim tjednima.
[23.09.98] Amiga OS 3.5 (PPC) je u radu...
Gary Peake (predstavnik ICOA - važne institucije koja stoji između Amiga
Inc. i developera i Amiga korisnika) izjavio je kako trenutno dvije
kompanije razvijaju Amiga OS 3.5. Prva radi 68k, dok druga PPC verziju,
kao i da će se dvije kompanije najvjerojatnije na kraju udržiti u
nastojanju da ujedine svoje verzije i tako ponude Amiga OS 3.5 kako za
PPC tako i za 68k Amiga korisnike. Gary Peake također izjavljuje i da je
PPC logičan korak i izbor za sve Amigaše dok se za oko dvije godine ne
pojave nove Amige s MMC procesorom posebno uzevši u obzir trenutno
jačanje PPC opcije kao jedinog izbora kojim se Amige mogu nositi s
konkurentskim računalnim platformama. Kao dokaz za to Gary Peake navodi
brzo rastući izbor programa za PPC kartice, podršku za iste i činjenicom
da je životni vijek današnjeg računala oko dvije godine što PPC kartice
čini vrlo isplativom investicijom do nove Amige.
[23.09.98] IO Blix I/O kartica
Nova Amiga kartica koju proizvodi RBM Computertechnik nudi četiri
super-brza serijska porta kao i (napokon!) dva EPP/ECP kompatibilna
paralelna porta!. Dodatni moduli su u planu.
[17.09.98] WARP PowerPC Station
Zahvaljujući velikom interesu i pitanjima vezanih uz phase5 PPC kartice
koji jedan specifičan Warpovac dobiva svaki dan u velikim količinama
trenutno razmatramo da WARP Webu dodamo još jednu rubriku pod imenom WARP
PowerPC Station (ime je još diskutabilno i postoji velika mogućnost
promjene) koja bi predstavljala svojevrsne odgovore na često postavljana
pitanja o phase5 PPC karticama, PowerUP i WarpUP sofwareu i svemu ostalom
vezanom uz Amiga PPC kartice. Ova najava je samo ispit da li za jednu
takvu rubriku u Warp Webu uopće ima dovoljno interesa. Svoje glasove u
vezi ovog prijedloga šaljite na doozanic@public.srce.hr. Realizacija ove
nove WARP Web rubrike ovisi isključivo o broju zainteresiranih vlasnika
ili budućih vlasnika PPC kartica.
[08.09.98] Izašao je AMIGAstorm 3!
S ponosom Vas obavještavam da je izašao AMIGAstorm3. AS3 možete skinuti

[07.09.98] QuakePPC (AGA) na 20 fps!
Warp istražuje najnoviju verziju piratskog porta Quakea za PowerUP
kartice i dobiva rezultate od čak 20 fps u full screenu za
BlizzardPPC/603e/200MHz na sporoj AGA grafici, odnosno oko 41-46 fps za
CyberStormPPC/604e/200MHz sa CyberVisionPPC grafičkom karticom bez
upotrebe bilo kakvog 3D ubrzanja i sl. Prvi port Quakea na spomenutoj je
BPPC kartici na početku je davao samo 9.8 fps. QuakePPC upotrebljava
multiprocesorsku osobinu dualnih PPC kartica i upotrebljava 68k procesor
za chunky-to-planar konverziju grafike odnosno PPC procesor za
izračunavanje Quake 3D enginea tj. oba procesora rade paralelno!
[01.09.98] Amiga Inc. i WarpUP za AmigaOS 3.5 PPC
Steffen Haeuser, jedan od poznatih zagovornika i suradnika WarpUP PPC
kernela koji izdaje Haage & Partner izjavio je kako je Amiga Inc.
donijela odluku o upotrebi WarpUP kernela za novu verziju AmigaOS-a 3.5
koji će raditi izvorno pod PPC procesorom. Spominje se isto pismo
upućeno objema najjačim Amiga PPC tvrtkama (Haage & Partner, phase5) u
vezi ponovno "oživljenog" AmigaOS-a 3.5 PPC. Također, naglašava se da će
više informacija biti dostupno slijedeći tjedan.
[29.08.98] Ekskluzivno: PowerPC 68k emulacija!
Sam Jordan, programer WarpUP PPC kernela eksluzivno za WARP otkriva prve
informacije o misterioznom 68k PPC emulatoru koji izdaje Haage & Partner.
Novi emulator je 99% završen (trenutno je u beta fazi) i spreman je za
prve demonstracije. Emulira se kompletan 68040 (što uključuje MMU i
FPU). Prvi neoptimizirani rezultati brzine kreću se na CyberStormPPC
604e/180 MHz u rangu 68040 na 25 MHz. Autor također naglašava da
rezultati ovise o tipu aplikacije. Vrlo intenzivni računski zadaci
izvršavaju se sporije dok memorijski intenzivni programi rade puno brže.
Također Sam Jordan naglašava da bi emulacija bi bila još brža kada bi PPC
kartice imale na raspolaganju L2 cache.
Usporedbe radi, 604e/200 MHz otprilike je dvostruko brži od 603e/200 pri
čemu treba uzeti u obzir da CyberStormPPC kartice imaju i 64-bitnu
memorijsku sabirnicu (dvostruko brža od one u BlizzardPPC karticama).
[29.08.98] Amiga Writer & VideoFX 2
Haage & Partner napokon izdaje svoj toliko hvaljeni tekst procesor Amiga
Writer uz novu verziju VideoFX-a! Demo verzije spomenutih programa mogu
se pronaći na spomenutom URL-u
[29.08.98] Stižu Wasted Dreams i Napalm
Ove dvije visoko kvalitetne igre trebale bi se uskoro naći u prodaji.
Napalm je real time strategija u stilu Dune 2 ili C&C-a, a izdati će ju
poznati clickBOOM. Pre-release demo može se skinuti sa Napalm (Oprez!
Veličina = 6.5 MB). Demo izgleda vrlo dobro, iako je za igranje u
visokoj rezoluciji potreban prilično jaki procesor, a ni grafička kartica
nije naodmet. Wasted Dreams je proizvod hrvatske grupe Digital Dreams
Entertainment (site bi trebao biti završen ovih dana), a izdati će ga
Vulcan Software. Radi se o arkadnoj avanturi (nešto kao Flashback s
pogledom odozgora), izvanredne grafike i posebno animacija likova.
Kompletan govor u igri je digitaliziran (na engleskom), a važno je reći
da će se igra vjerojatno moći kupiti i u Hrvatskoj i to po povlaštenim
cijenama. Obje igre bi trebale biti završene tokom 9. mjeseca, i obje
se isplati naručiti unaprijed zbog nižih cijena i nagradnih igara.
Dodatne informacije naći ćete na prilož1enim URL-ovima.
[21.08.98] Amiga Inc. - supertajni razvojni detalji!
S obzirom na dezinformacije o novoj Amigi i AmigaOS-u 5.0 koje svaki dan
poprimaju nove razmjere Amiga Inc. je odlučila na jedan poseban način
učiniti dostupne supertajne dokumente o razvojnom planu koji trenutno
izvršava Amiga Inc. Dokumenti su dostupni samo cjelokupnoj Amiga
zajednici jer se da bi dobili URL dotičnih planova s prezentacije
prikazane na AmiWest Amiga sajma u Sacramentu morate autorizirati na
Poruka Amiga Inc. Amiga zajednici.
[21.08.98] Be Inc. demantira Amiga glasine
Predsjednik Be Inc. Jean-Louis GassÚe zanijekao je bilo kakvu vezu novog
Amiga OS-a 5.0 i Be Inc. što uključuje i bilo kakvu vezu Be Inc. s
Gatewayom. Predsjednik posebno naglašava Be Inc. neće kreirati AmigaOS
niti će bilo kakva veza API-a dvaju operativnih sustava biti moguća, kao
niti lak zadatak te na kraju zaključuje kako AmigaOS ne treba ponovno
kreirati jer je isti od samih početaka odličan. Cijeli tekst možete
pročitati na Be newsletter.
[21.08.98] Nova Design izdaje ImageFX 3.2 Upgrade
Jedan od najboljih Amiga image manipulation programa dobio je svoju
najnoviju verziju. Nova verzija eliminira sve probleme uočene do sada,
podršku za BMP i JPEG podformate, dodatne AREXX komande, podršku za HP
SCSI ScanJet i poboljšanu podršku za Epsonove skenere itd. Update na 3.2
može se naći na Nova Design.
[21.08.98] Megavision - PRESS RELEASE
Megavision nažalost prkatično prestaje s podrškom za Amigu u Hrvatskoj.
Ostavljena je samo podrška za velike korisnike. Kompletnu izjavu za
javnost pročitajte na Megavision PRESS RELEASE
[17.08.98] AmigaStorm 2
AmigaStorm je HTML magazin posvećen igrama za Amigu. Do sada su izašla
dva broja, koja se mogu u obliku arhive skinuti sa Amineta (samo umetnite
"AmigaStorm" u Aminet search. U ovom magazinu naći ćete prilično svježe
i aktualne vijesti o igrama u pripremi, opise igara i rješenja (u broju 2
kompletno rješenje Mysta na hrvatskom!). Nakon što pročitate AmigaStorm,
svakako javite autorima što mislite, jer im je svaka reakcija dragocjena,
a ako imate dara za pisanje, rado će primiti Vaš prilog.
[17.08.98] GAMES GAMES GAMES!
U zadnje vrijeme bilježimo izlazak dviju komercijalnih igara - Double
Agent (kvalitetna prerada poznate logičke-arkade Spy Vs Spy) i Ultra
Violet Worlds Vorlons sofware (jednostavna i teška 2D svemirska
pucačina). Zanimljivo je da su obje igre istovremeno izašle i u PC
verzijama. Ovo ljetno doba plodno je za najave, o kojima više za
nekoliko dana, a do tada Vas upućujemo na AmigaStorm 2 s najavama igara
iz 7. mjeseca, od kojih još niti jedna nije ugledala svjetlo dana. Prva
od "većih" igara koje se očekuju u skorije vrijeme je Wasted Dreams,
mješavina strategije, avanture i akcije, u izdanju Vulcan Software-a.
Koliko za sada znamo, veći dio igre napravili su hrvatski programeri,
grafičari i muzičari, a po nekim glasinama, to bi moglo značiti da će se
igra kod nas moći kupiti i po izuzetno povoljnim cijenama.
[17.08.98] Foundation dobio hrvatsku lokalizaciju!
Jedna od trenutno najpopularnijih Amiga igara - Foundation, konačno je
dobila (nakon engleske, njemačke i francuske) i hrvatsku lokalizaciju.
Hrvatski je prvi od "manjih" jezika koji je dobio potpunu lokalizaciju,
što je zaista hvale vrijedno. Plod je to truda Mladena Ilišinovića,
člana udruženja Amiga prevoditelja - ATO. Ovaj dodatak za Foundation
možete naći na Aminetu ili na službenim Foundation stranicama s podrškom:
Foundation support.
[13.08.98] Izašao je WarpUP 3.1!
Haage&Partner izdao je svoju najnoviju verziju PPC kernela koja rješava
novonastale probleme sa najnovijom verzijom phase5 PowerUP kernela.
WarpUP je sada potpuno kompatibilan sa svim BlizzardPPC karticama uz
dodatak podrške za CyberVision i BVision grafičke kartice. Vrlo je važno
da svi vlasnici PPC Blizzarda ne zaborave dodati 2 kao env varijablu u
Terminator env datoteci!
[13.08.98] Tornado 3D V2.0!
Izašlo je također i novo izdanje sve popularnijeg 3D programa Tornado
koji u svojoj 2.0 verziji donosi i poboljšanu PPC podršku! Više
inforacija na Tornado 3D.
[13.08.98] StormMESA - OpenGL na Amigi!
Najveća softverska Amiga tvrtka Haage&Partner ne posustaje i poboljšava
trenutno najbolju Amiga implementaciju 3D API-a OpenGL pod imenom
StormMESA. Demoi (68k i PPC) i informacije dostupni su na StormMESA.
Ova OpenGL implementacije vrlo je važna za Amiga 3D kartice poput phase5
CyberVisionPPC i BVisionPPC. Minimalni zahtjevi za 68k verziju su 68040
(sa FPU) ili 68060 kao i puno RAM-a. Neki od AGA kompatibilnih modova
zahtjevaju i ROM 3.1.
[09.08.98] Planet Aminet - starost fileova kod http browsanja
Od nedavno na glavnom Planet Aminet siteu, prilikom browsanja
direktorijima i upotrebljavanjem search enginea, vidi se i starost
fileova u arhivi. Izuzetno korisna opcija, pogotovo za nove Amiga
korisnike, i one koji dugo nisu pregledavali recent listu. Warp zna
mnoge koje će to oduševiti.
[07.08.98] Nove pojedinosti o AmigaOS 5.0
Fleccy Moss, jedan od programera novog AmigaOS-a otkrio je neke
pojedinosti o novom AmigaOS-u 5.0. OS će se sastojati od potpuno novog
kernela sa potpuno novim API-em pisanim u C-u. Uz dodatak tradicionalnih
sistemskih obilježja biti ce dodane i nove poput OpenGL-a i drugih
priznatih industrijskih standarda integriranih u sam OS. Kao razlog za
kreiranje novog kernela i API-a navodi se nemogućnost jednostavnog
dodatka nekih bitnih obilježja koja ne posjeduje trenutni AOS, a koje
nije moguće jednostavno dodati na neke dijelove strukture sadašnjeg AOS-a
nego ih je brže i efikasnije ponovno kreirati.
[07.08.98] Uskoro Fusion PPC i PCx PPC!
Korisnička baza PowerPC Amiga kartica se uspješno razvija i postaje sve
brojnija zbog čega je Microcode Solutions ipak odlučio razviti PPC
verzije poznatih emulacija Macintosha i PC-a. Blittersoft već u svojoj
ponudi nudi 68k verzije i punude za PPC upgrade: Fusion PPC, PCx PPC.
Posebnu važnost za PowerUP kartice ima Fusion PPC jer se time praktički
širom otvaraju vrata svim PPC programima i igrama rađenim za Power
Macintosh. Za sada je Linux PPC jedini vanjski OS koji radi na PowerUP
sustavima kojemu se sada uskoro pridružuje i PPC MacOS.
[04.08.98] Amiga Front 6
Izašao je šesti broj Amiga Fronta prvog, jedinog i samim tim najboljeg
Srpskog magazina u "multimedijalnom" Guide izdanju! Magazin sadrži opise
aktuelnih 3D igara, dosta najava koje su popraćene slikama, specijalnu
rubriku AF Zona, Varanja za skoro sve igre koje počinju na slovo "D"
dosta dobre muzike unutar časopisa itd. Ne propustite ovo fenomenalno
izdanje!
[02.08.98] Izašao je Ibrowse v1.22
Samo toliko, kada doznamo detalje o stvarima što donosi ova inačica,
javiti ćemo.
[02.08.98] MMC i dalje tajna....
Amiga Inc. ne namjerava odati ime proizvođača i projektanta misterioznog
novog MMC čipa koji će biti vitalni dio buduće AmigeNG sve do siječnja
1999-e. Očito se radi o direktnom naputku matične MMC kompanije koja se
ne želi kompromitirati sve do "zadnjeg trenutka".
[02.08.98] Amiga Inc. demantira i daje nove informacije
Amiga Inc. i Gateway demantirali su proturječne informacije poput one da
će IBM kupiti Gateway ili da će Be Inc. kupiti Amiga Inc. Također,
proizvođač MMC čipa nije Intel niti drugi proizvođači Intel kloniranih
procesora (AMD, Cyrix) niti će se sa developer only Bridge Amigom
isporučivati bilo kakav Microsoft softver. Bill McEwen razotkrio je
Amigin marketingški plan za 1999-u koja će očito biti ključna za Amigu i
biti temeljena na iznenadnom i strelovitom osvajanju tržišta tj. na tvz.
BANG efektu. Uz nisku cijenu otkrivene su i neke minimalne specifikacije
novih NG Amiga: Real-time 3D rendering, HDTV/RGB/PAL/NTSC do rezolucije
1920x1080, MPEG-II dekodiranje, Dolby, skalabilnost multipliciranjem
multimedijnih procesora, 56k modem, PCI kontroler, native Java itd.
Misteriozni MMC imati će istovremena 4 MPEG-II dekodera i sposobnost
brzine od čak 400 miliona teksturnih bit mapiranih pixela u sekundi (1.2
GB/s).
[02.08.98] Phase 5 demantira zle glasine
Wolf Dietrich, predsjednik i osnivač Amiga kompanije phase5 odlučno
demantira glasine o tome da će phase 5 bankrotirati u slijedećih 3
mjeseca. Također naglašava da se sve PowerPC kartice proizvode i prodaju
u očekivanim količinama. Izlazak CyberVisionPPC i skori izlazak (12.08)
BVisionPPC grafičkih kartica za PowerUP kartice to dokazuje.
[02.08.98] Testovi brzine i fotografije CyberVisionPPC kartica!
Na novootvorenim CyberVisionPPC Web stranicama može se usporediti dotična
kartica sa starijim ZORRO modelima, dostupne su i detalje fotografije kao
i detaljne informacije i linkovi kompanija koje su proizvele grafički
procesor ugrađen u CyberVisionPPC grafičku karticu. Čip na kojem se
temelji CyberVisionPPC je Texas Instruments TVP4020 koji se sastoji od
licencirane Permedia 2 tehnologije razvijene od strane kompanije 3DLabs.

Evo jedne važne vijesti...
News from MAE: Amiga Inc. Reported to Support OS3.5 Update for Classic Amigas
-From Gary Peake, of Team AMIGA
It is official!!! Amica Inc. announces OS3.5 with P5 PPC board support
will be done by the first half of '99! It was not announced however,
whether the OS3.5 upgrade will use the P5 or H&P PPC software.
Developed in combination with a lot of Amiga developers, OS3.5 Upgrade
will use the current 3.1 roms and will be a CD ONLY release! There
will be no PPC version, however PPC support will be included using
either P5 or H&P PPC software, as stated above.
Highlights concerning the OS3.5 upgrade:
* RTG Support
* RTA Support
* CDFS Support
* New Interface
Plus bug fixes and updates to several areas of the OS
Purposes of the OS3.5 upgrade is to support all the advanced
hardware/software that is on the Classic Amiga market and to allow
developers to code for a higher spec Amiga Classic. This will open the
door for more and better software and hardware for the Classic Amiga
while giving developers more transition time into the NG Amiga!
There will also be a full Classic OS3.5 emulator shipping with the NG
OS so we can all start buying software again secure in the knowledge
that it will be supported and runnable with the NG Amiga!
This 3.5OS upgrade and the promise of full emulation in the NG Amiga
will smooth the transition for all Amiga users to the NG Amiga.
In the next week or so, a website will go up especially for OS3.5 and
Amiga Inc will begin releasing information on the upgrade to the Amiga
press. More details about OS3.5 will also be released in Cologne.
We are told that the highlight of the show thus far for Bill McEwen is
the modeling convention going on in the same hotel! 400 female
wannabe's apparently provided fodder for some of the oldest chat up
lines in the book as Amiga guys attempted to entice the young ladies
into discussions about Intuition and Peeks and Pokes.
Joe Torre, in his own enduring style, showed up in a giant sumo outfit
and ran around the lot persued by security. Not to be outdone, Rick
"The Canadian's Are Coming" Giannini of Asimware flattened Amiga Inc's
Darreck Lisle several times without even putting on his sumo suit!
Another grand demonstration of why the Amiga community MUST keep one
step ahead of society (and the law!).

Evo nekih novosti sa Warpovog sitea ...
Warp Novosti
Najnovije vijesti i govorkanja o Amigi...
[05.10.98]
AmigaOS 3.5 informacije
Nakon više od 5 godina AmigaOS će napokon dobiti novu verziju,
čime Amiga Inc. ipak potvrđuje da neće tako lako otpisati sadašnje
Classic Amige. Cijeli projekt koordinira Amiga Inc. zajedno sa dvadesetak
Amiga kompanija. AmigaOS 3.5 službeno! podržava phase5 PPC kartice,
pa će u skladu s time biti uključen phase5 ili H&P PPC sistemski softver.
Još uvijek nije poznato da li će biti odabran jedan od kernela ili oba
čime bi taj izbor pripao samom korisniku (veći izbor PPC programa).
Novi će OS3.5 koristiti postojeće 3.1 ROM-ove i biti će distribuiran
samo na CD-u!. Od ostalih novosti u OS3.5 izdvaja se napokon standard
za RTG i RTA tako da će dodatne grafičke i audio kartice imati jedan
službeni standard, standardna CDFS podrška i novi interface
(ovdje se očito misli na grafički interface - GUI), kao i popravak svih
dosadašnjih bugova iz OS3.1 čime bi se riješili mnoštva patcheva koji se
danas koriste. Amiga Inc. navodi kako je svrha ovog updatea podrška
za sve napredne hardverske i softverske proizvode za Classic Amige, kao
i ujedinjavanje službenih standarda čime bi se ojačala Amiga i omogućila
lakša tranzicija na AmiguNG budući da AmigaOS5.0 u sebi sadržava kompletnu
emulaciju Classic Amige. U slijedećim tjednima Amiga Inc. će izdati
kompletni Web site namjenjen AmigaOS3.5 koji će sadržavati sve informacije
o OS3.5, pa čitatelji Warp Weba sve ove ovdje priložene informacije mogu
potvrditi tek kada prava službena izjava bude dostupna na Amiga Inc..
[01.10.98]
status: činjenica...
Amiga nema tvz. "Year 2000 problem" :-)
Kao što to i priliči jednom naprednom OS-u kakav je AmigaOS, Amiga nema
problem sa prikazivanjem i računanjem datuma kada nastupi 2000-a godina
(i kada taj sindrom zahvati i uzdrma čitav PC svijet!) :-) Kada nastupi
2000-a godina Amiga će oblik skraćenog datuma koji će tada uslijediti
prikazati kao 01-Jan-00 s tom razlikom da će AmigaOS tada "znati" da se
radi o 2000-oj godini (za razliku od DOS i Windows platforme i
pripadnih programa koji "misle" da je upravo nastupila 1900-ta godina).
AmigaOS to postiže pomoću posebnog računanja vremena kojoj je baza 1978-a
godina (prvi datum koji se pojavljuje kod uključenja Amige bez ugrađenog
sata). Ako su zadnje dvije znamenke u formatu datuma (recimo 98 za
01-sep-98) veće ili jednake 78 tada se uzima godina 1900-ta + 98 što
daje 1998-u. Ako je ta brojka (recimo 01) manja od 78 (što je slučaj s
godinama 2000-om i poslije) tada se uzima godina 2000-ta + 01 = 2001.
Jedini problem postoji na Amigama s AmigaOS-om 1.2 i 1.3 gdje je potrebno
samo zamijeniti postojeću setclock komandu s novom koja se može naći na
Amiga Inc. home pageu. Amige sa svim ostalim novijim verzijama OS-a
(2.0-3.1) ne trebaju nikakve modifikacije. Amiga Inc. stručnjaci su
ipak ovom savršenom sustavu ipak zamijetili neke nedostatke
(poput recimo ugrađenih satova u Amige koji znaju brojiti samo do 99)
tako da će postojeće verzije AmigaOS-a prve probleme dobiti tek 2046-e
godine, nakon toga 2077-e (1978+99=2077) i na kraju 2114-e godine.
Vrlo je teško zamisliti ijednu postojeću Amigu u upotrebi 2046-e godine
tako da se Amigaši o čuvenom "Year 2000" problemu zaista nemaju o čemu
brinuti! :-)
novosti.384bellamy,
Pre svega Vlado hvala na odgovorima.
Ono do cega sam uspeo da dodjem je sledece:
PowerPC604e na 350 MHz sa 32KbI+32KbD keshom ima sledece rezultate:
SPECint95........ 14,60
SPECfp95......... 9,00
MIPS............. 629,00
PowerPC603e na 240 MHz sa 16KbI+16KbD keshom:
SPECint95........ 6,40
SPECfp95......... 5,30
MIPS............. 338,40
MC68060 na 50 MHz :
MIPS............. 75,00
INTEL Pentium II na 350 sa 16KbI + 16KbD L1 + 512Kb L2 keshom:
SPECint95........ 13,90
SPECfs95......... 9,64
MIPS............. 534,61
Sto se tice brojki stvari stoje ovako. Doduse Pentium II je u
prednosti jer koristi dodatni 512Kb kesh. Mozemo pretpostaviti
kakvi bi rezultati bili kod PC603e-604e da im se doda L2 cesh.
Na osnovu ovih rezultata mozemo naslutiti u kojoj je meri
AMIGA sa PPCturbo kartom spremna da emulira Pentiuma.
Ako se uzme u obzir da se prilikom EMULACIJE MEKINTOSA ne gubi
monogo u brzini onda se u buducnosti moze ocekivati i veoma
kvalitetna emulacija POWER mekintosa. A koliko je sam POWER MAC
spreman da emulira PENTIUMA prosudite sami iz faila koji je
prikacen za ovu poruku.
Autor dole prikacenog teksta napominje da je na svom Mekintosu
(PowerPC604e+512Kb na 200MHz) ostvario emulaciju PENTIUMA 100MHz
pomocu emulatora VirtualPC.
Moja pretpostavka je da AMIGA1200 + PPC603e na 240MHZ moze da
ostvari performanse PENTIUMA 60MHz.
Da li vredi odvojiti 980 DEM za PPC603e240MHzTurboKarticu ???
AKO neko ima IBrowse 1.22 i najnoviju verziju Voyagera neka
posalje. HVALA.

Još jedan šok za Amiga zajednicu! Još jedna potpuno neočekivana
najava koja je juče stigla direktno od predsjednika firme Amiga!
Neću ništa komentarisati, pročitajte i sami donesite svoj sud.
Za one koji nisu u toku, prekjuče je QNX objavio tekst u kojem se
navodi da su komponente njihovog naprednog operativnog sistema, QNX
Neutrino Realtime OS mikrokernel i Photon microGUI grafički interfejs,
u završnoj fazi izrade i da će uskoro biti spremne za ugradnju u
Amige nove generacije, kao što je najavljeno sporazumom sa Amigom
postignutim prošle godine. Naveli su njihove impresivne karakteristike
i pozvali na saradnju sve zainteresovane za razvoj softvera. Međutim,
evo juče saznajemo da čelnici Amige imaju drugačije planove...
Jim Collas' open letter to the community
Linux Announcement
Dear Amigans,
After months of research and in-depth discussions with all of our
technology partners we have decided to use Linux as the primary OS
kernel for the new Amiga Operating Environment (OE). I know this
decision is a shock to many of you given the previous announcements
and activities relative to QNX. This was a very complicated and
difficult decision to make and I assure you that I didn't make this
decision without a significant amount of research and deliberation. We
have been researching Linux since February but didn't finalized our
decision until several weeks ago. We were planning to communicate it
to the Amiga community in the technology brief that will be released
in the next few days.
I am pressed to communicate the Linux decision before the technology
brief because of information released by QNX in the last few days.
This information had not been reviewed or approved for release by
Amiga. In light of our Linux decision, this information is confusing
and misleading so I would like to take the time to clarify the
situation. I can't disclose any details of the Amiga/QNX discussions
because of legally binding confidentiality agreements but I can talk
to you about our decision to use the Linux kernel. I think that you
will agree that this is the right decision once you understand the
reasons for this decision.
Before I continue, I should mention that our technology decision does
not reflect negatively on QNX. I believe that QNX is a good company
with great technology. I just believe that Linux gives us a better
chance of executing our plans successfully.
The decision to use QNX as our OS partner on our next generation
multimedia convergence computer (MCC) was made late last year. When I
took over as president of Amiga in February of this year, I initiated
an in-depth review of existing Amiga plans and decisions. As president
of Amiga I had to make sure that we were defining a strategy and an
execution plan that would allow Amiga and the Amiga community to be
successful. We reviewed our strategy, architecture decisions,
technology partners, and execution plans. During this review period we
also added a number of very talented and experienced people to help us
finalize our technology and product decisions. I am confident that we
now have a solid and exciting plan that people can have confidence in.
Linux has been picking up substantial momentum over the past year as a
viable, open OS alternative in the marketplace. This momentum, the
growing commitment to Linux applications from a wide variety of
software vendors, and the growing availability of Linux device drivers
from hardware vendors, makes it a compelling candidate. Additionally,
with all of the significant component suppliers putting resources on
writing drivers for Linux it was difficult to get them to port to yet
another operating system. Using the Linux OS as a foundation for our
Amiga OE allows us to leverage a significant amount of available
software drivers and utilities. This allows us to quickly support
multiple graphics cards and other peripherals.
Given the above-mentioned advantages, we decided to do an in-depth
technical analysis of Linux to determine if it was a suitable OS
kernel for our new Amiga operating environment (OE). As we ported
parts of our higher level operating environment and AmigaObjectTM
architecture to Linux, we discovered some significant performance
advantages in the Linux kernel in areas such as distributed object
messaging across a network (up to 10X the performance of Windows NT).
Although Linux configurations can be very large in size, the core
pieces of the Linux kernel are actually very small and efficient. In
considering hardware requirements we also found companies working on
hardware components that were optimized for the Linux kernel.
Additionally, Linux is probably the most stable operating system
available in the market. After months of in-depth research we were
confident that we could build an extremely exciting next generation
Amiga based on the Linux OS kernel.
Does this mean that the next generation Amiga will not be unique?
Absolutely not! Remember that the OS kernel is only one component of
the new Amiga OE and the hardware is unique. The revolutionary nature
of the Amiga OE is in the way it extends the traditional operating
system to provide a host environment for a new class of portable
applications ľ applications that exist in a pervasive networked
computing environment. We will be integrating multiple technologies
including an efficient windowing environment and a unique user
interface.
In summary, we decided to use Linux because of the incredible momentum
and the fact that it is solid technology and a good foundation for our
new Amiga OE. Additionally, the Linux community is an impressive force
that we should be aligned with. We share many common values and
objectives with the Linux community. Using Linux as our OS kernel
allows us to build a unique and revolutionary operating environment
while leveraging the enormous momentum of Linux.
The soon to be released technology brief will further explain our
architecture and plans for integrating all of the selected technology.
Once you read it, I am confident that you will understand the
revolutionary nature of the next generation Amiga. I assure you that
Amiga and the Amiga community will be a driving force behind the next
computer revolution.
Sincerely,
Jim Collas
President, Amiga

Subject: QNX announcement is misleading
Date: Fri, 09 Jul 1999 06:10:33 GMT
I am not very happy with the QNX announcement. This announcement was
neither reviewed nor approved by Amiga. Several weeks ago we made a
decision to use the Linux OS kernel instead of QNX. We were planning
to communicate this decision to the Amiga community in the technology
brief to be released in the next few days. I know this is a shock to
many people given the previous announcements and activities relative
to QNX. I apologize for the way this is being communicated but I have
been put in an awkward position. The formal announcement will be on
the Amiga web site within 12 hours. Please read this for more
information.
After months of research and in-depth discussions with our technology
partners we decided to use Linux as our OS kernel for the new Amiga
Operating Environment (OE). This was a very complicated and difficult
decision to make and I assure you that I didn't make the decision
without a significant amount of research and deliberation. We have
been researching Linux as an alternative for several months now but a
final decision wasn't made until a few weeks ago. Once you understand
the reason for the decision, I think that you will agree that it is a
good decision.
Linux has picked up a significant amount of momentum in the last year
as an viable alternative OS. In talking to the key component suppliers
it was clear that they were all putting resources on supporting Linux.
It was difficult to convince them to support yet another OS kernel.
Using the Linux kernel allows us to leverage a significant amount of
software from the Linux community.
Given the momentum, we decided to do an in-depth technical analysis of
Linux. As we ported parts of our higher level OE and AmigaObject
architecture to Linux for testing, we discovered some significant
performance advantages in the Linux kernel in areas such as
distributed object messaging across a network (up to 10X the
performance of Windows NT). This is a strategic performance advantage
for our new environment. Although Linux configurations can be very
large, the core Linux kernel and services are actually quite small and
efficient. We have also identified hardware components that are being
optimized for Linux. I am convinced that we can build an incredibly
impressive next generation Amiga based on the Linux OS kernel.
We are integrating a significnant amount of technology to make the
Amiga unique yet we will still be able to leverage drivers and also
some applications. In many ways, it's the best of both worlds.
Our soon to be released technology brief will further explain our
architecture and plans for integrating all of the selected technology.
Once you read it I am confident that you will understand the
revolutionary nature of the next Amiga and the reason why we have a
great opportunity to drive the next computer revolution.
As for QNX, I can assume that they aren't happy that they didn't get
the Amiga opportunity and they decided to confuse the issue.
Regardless of what QNX announces, the Linux OS is much more mature and
supported. It's unfortunate and I apologize again for how this got
communicated.
I look forward to getting feedback on our technology brief. I also
look forward to sharing more of our plans at WoA and AmiWest and
seeing some of you there in person.

A evo kakva je bila reakcija QNX-a na najavu Jima Collasa...
Where do we stand?
Eight months ago we were chosen by Amiga as their foundation OS
partner. Our development group was thrilled to be part of the rebirth
of such an innovative product. To meet the challenge we knew it would
take a tremendous effort on our part. We had a team of people in place
working on our part of the Amiga NG soon after the alliance was
announced. Over the next few months we involved more and more of our
engineering resouces towards making QNX an advanced multi-media
platform. Our investment so far has been significant. These are costs
we have born ourselves.
It is clear today from Jim's letter that we were not chosen for the
next generation Amiga. Naturally we're disappointed. So, where do we
stand now? It is not our intent to confuse the Amiga community. We are
proud of what we have accomplished and want to include Amigans in what
we've achieved. I did make a promise to deliver an operating system
and I intend on keeping that promise. I don't want to split the
community, nor do I wish to engage in a war of words. I don't ask you
to "trust" me or to take me at my word. Both QNX and Amiga have
promised to deliver technology into your hands in the very near
future. I ask only that your assessment of QNX be based on what we do
and what we deliver.
Thanks for the overwhelming support we have received so far.

tehnologiju učini pokretačem nove kompjuterske revolucije...
Gateway's Amiga prepares for return
By Jim Davis
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
July 9, 1999, 5:15 p.m. PT
Direct PC maker Gateway appears to be revving up a strategy for
decidedly un-PC like "information appliances" through its
independent subsidiary, Amiga.
Gateway's purchase of Amiga in 1997 mystified many in the computer
industry. Amiga's time in the spotlight had long since passed,
although it still had many devotees using it for its advanced
multimedia capabilities.
Two years later, however, the plan is beginning to take shape.
Software for inexpensive TV set-top boxes and Internet appliances,
including projects based around the Linux OS, will soon start to
emerge from Amiga, which will license its intellectual property to
hardware makers. Prototypes and reference designs are coming too.
Amiga has also been quietly building its executive ranks,
recruiting both high-level Gateway employees and former Apple
technology experts. The company is looking to add still more
hardware and software engineers to architect what it calls a
next-generation computing platform that it hopes will revive its
fortunes.
But more importantly, a revived Amiga will dovetail with Gateway's
overall strategy to embed itself into every aspect of the Web.
With Amiga's designs, Gateway gets an entrÚe into the nascent
market for information appliances, ranging from wireless tablets
to kitchen countertop gadgets with Net connections to digital
set-top boxes and televisions.
"Our main focus is to come up with a new operating environment
focused on the emerging information appliance market," said Jim
Collas, president of Amiga and the former senior vice president of
Product Development and Management for Gateway.
The revival process began earlier this year. Collas came over from
Gateway proper in January. Since then, the company hired a new COO
from Allied Signal, and a new chief technology officer, Rick
LeFaivre, who once was a vice president for Apple Computer's R&D
group. Another hire just this month includes Jim Miller, another
former Apple employee, who will oversee development of a new user
interface for devices using Amiga technology.
All of these new employees are eventually going to move into a new
headquarters just down the road from the Gateway headquarters in
San Diego, where they are currently housed.
All of the hubbub around Amiga comes at a time when revenues from
PCs is decreasing on a near continuous basis. Forrester Research is
predicting that consumer PC spending will peak at around $19.9
billion this year and then wane as alternatives such as intelligent
TV set-top boxes and other electronic goods such as MP3 players
become more prevalent.
Gateway has already been working to transform itself from a PC
provider to a service provider. Gateway now offers Internet service
to its customers and sells third party peripherals and software
through its own shopping service to further bolster margins.
With Amiga, the company can get into the potentially huge device
market, which may come to eclipse PCs in terms of sales and
ubiquity.
"Gateway is in a great position to have continued success in the PC
market because of its direct relationship with customers. But,
information appliances will challenge PC market growth," said
Collas.
Gateway sees Amiga as a strategic, but separate, venture.
"Disruptive technologies are best handled by independent
subsidiaries that have the autonomy to make aggressive decisions.
The speed that we are moving can't be duplicated by large
companies, even though Gateway is the least bureaucratic company I
know of."
Where Amiga is headed
Collas is only willing to give a vague outline of Amiga's
direction. And mostly, the trickle of information is being opened
to appease Amiga's loyal adherents, who likely will form the first
group of people willing to buy and write programs for its next
generation products, Collas said.
One project is a technology called AmigaObjects, which is similar
in concept to "device language" technologies being developed by a
host of companies such as Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, and Sony.
With it, any device on a network can offer up its abilities to
another device and share the task of processing commands.
AmigaObjects will first run on Linux, which is gaining traction as
an alternative operating system for embedded devices, said Collas.
"There are lots of companies that have technology targeted at this
vision, but few are pulling all of it into a single comprehensive
environment," he offered.
Amiga is not trying to reinvent the wheel, he said. The company
will use Java and work with Sun's Jini, Sony and Philip's Havi, and
Microsoft's Universal Plug and Play. However, its homegrown
technology will get everything to work together in an easy-to-use
fashion. See related story.
"The future is integrating technology, not making building blocks,"
Collas said.
Concept drawings of potential information appliances that could be
powered by Amiga technology are already posted on the company's
site. Actual functioning models will be publicly shown later this
month, although they will largely be concept designs to help
hardware licensees and software developers.
A major effort to show off this technology will come around
November, about the same time the company has said it will offer up
a "multimedia convergence computer" for die-hard Amiga fans.
Eventually, the technology will show up in digital televisions,
set-top boxes, and other devices, Collas hopes. And that's where
Amiga might be able to showoff its true colors, analysts say.
Despite its age, the Amiga platform offers some inherent advantages
for a television environment, analysts say. Because it can handle
several tasks at once, unlike Microsoft's Windows 98 or Windows CE
operating systems, Amiga is well suited to multimedia environments
with simultaneous audio and video. In addition, Amiga works well
with high-resolution monitors and television screens, according to
Richard Doherty, president of Envisioneering Group.
"Ten years ago, Amiga was way ahead of its time," Doherty said.
Maybe now the industry is catching up with Amiga, but only time
will tell how the new strategy will play out.
Gateway's vision
Amiga's plans for the info appliance market, it should be noted,
are being executed independently of Gateway.
So what is Gateway's take on non-PC devices?
"Our view of world is that we think the PC is very much alive and
will be for some time. We do see an opportunity for Internet
appliances; we are absolutely interested in being in that market."
Jeff Weitzen, president of Gateway, said in an interview with CNET
News.com in May.
In Gateway's vision of the networked home, a home server connects
to the Internet and sends information out to other devices. These
servers could be based on PC technology--Intel processors and
Microsoft's Windows operating system--but could send around voice,
video and other data to a variety of devices that use other kinds
of chips and operating systems, including Linux.
Weitzen hinted that Gateway might offer its first information
appliances in 2000, although the company may also be merely acting
as a distributor for products developed by others--a category
which, technically, could be filled by Amiga. Initially, though,
Gateway is expected to emphasize sales of home networking
technology, and not every whiz-bang device that could possibly be
made.
"We would hope to have Gateway build information appliances based
on Amiga technology, but they are not obligated to do so," said
Collas. In fact, Amiga's very success depends on signing up as many
companies as possible, so Gateway would only be one of many, if
Collas has his way.

Update on the Next Generation G3 Product for the AMIGA from phase 5
digital products
July 6, 1999: The recently announced G3/G4 project is now already in
it's finalization stage. During the past six weeks, we have reviewed
the overwhelming response of the Amiga community, and the large number
of requests from many users in regards to design features. At the same
time, we have been checking the latest developments in the industry,
which have opened up some new opportunities. Based on these new
possibilitites, we have made some conceptual changes to the design of
the CYBERSTORM G3/G4 and the BLIZZARD G3/G4 boards which we will
outline hereafter.
A major change of the design of both boards is that we have decided
not to integrate SCSI and IEEE-1394 on the products as standard, and
therefore reduce the base prices of the products (we will make add-ons
available, and have also added other features, as you can read below).
We have decided to do this, as we found out that many customers have
very different demands. For example, many have been asking for
implementation of the U2W SCSI interface ľ even for the BLIZZARD G3/G4
board ľ which is more expensive and would later also cause significant
additional cost to the user in respect to cabling and adaptors. On the
other hand, other customers may only want to connect some older legacy
SCSI devices and would be happy with a cheap 8-Bit SCSI port. Some
other may not need SCSI at all, but want to pay the lowest possible
price for the step into the G3/G4 generation. Consequently, we have
decided to offer base boards without specialized I/O functionality,
but with the option for customized configurations.
The good news is, that the CYBERSTORM G3/G4 as well as the BLIZZARD
G3/G4 will both have PCI slots already on board, which will allow to
connect PCI add-ons directly. In order to make the boards fit into the
same Amiga systems as the earlier CYBERSTORM PPC and BLIZZARD 603
boards, we will be using Mini-PCI connectors, on which PCI modules in
the new Mini-PCI standard can be installed. This design allows the
users to connect Mini-PCI add-on cards directly to the CYBERSTORM
G3/G4 as well as the BLIZZARD G3/G4, without the need to spend money
for a PCI bus expansion or to worry about mechanical integration of
such a board. Developers, as well, can easily use either common
Mini-PCI cards and write drivers for those, or quickly design new
Mini-PCI cards with standard PCI chips.
Another change is the usage of standard SO-DIMMs (SDRAM) as they can
be found on modern notebooks, which also allow to design the boards in
very compact form factors, thus making the CYBERSTORM G3/G4 fit into
all A3000 and A4000 desktop and tower models (with fully installed
memory and Mini-PCI cards), and make the BLIZZARD G3/G4 fit into most
A1200 tower cases on the market and in use. As an integrated standard
I/O port, the CYBERSTORM G3/G4 as well as the BLIZZARD G3/G4 will also
have two USB ports to connect a fast growing number of inexpensive
devices.
phase 5 digital products will also be offering some cost-effective
MiniPCI add-on modules. We have a number of options which add-on
boards for I/O purposes may be developed by us, and which will be
quickly realized depending on the actual demand. It may be noted that
these options include those functions which were originally considered
to be on-board, and are now simply moved to an optional MiniPCI card.
The currently planned, optionally available modules include:
- An U2W SCSI controller w/ internal 68pin port and active
termination, for a net retail price of EURO 150 or US$160
- An Ultra SCSI controller w/ internal 50pin port and active
termination, for a net retail price of EURO 80 or US$90
- An Ultra-DMA IDE/ATA controller 66MHz with 2 ports (to support 4
devices) for a net retail price of EURO 80 or US$90
- An IEEE-1394 Controller with 2 ports at 400Mbps, for a net retail
price of EURO 100 or US$110
For any of these modules, a minimum order quantity of 250 units must
be reached, in order to justify the software and hardware realization.
If for any of these modules this quantity can not be reached, we will
inform all customers who have ordered this option. Customers can now -
in the updated ordering form - order these boards to be shipped with
their BLIZZARD G3/G4 or CYBERSTORM G3/G4 board. These boards
phase 5 digital products will also offer a next-generation gfx board
for the new accelerators. This new board, the CyberVisionNG, is
currently planned to
- incorporate a blazing fast 2D/3D graphics chip, with a powerful
128bit 3D engine
- feature a maximum resolution of 1920x1200x32 @ 72Hz
- offer full video acceleration to support full-screen, full-frame
DVD playback
and will be priced at EURO 180 or US$ 190 with 32 MB of local memory
(net retail price based on the memory prices of July 1999).
With the large amount of local memory for display and textures, it
will provide highest performance and impressive 3D capabilities which
have not been available on the Amiga ever before, at a most attractive
price point very close to that of common PC products.
A word on G4 versions:
It seems today that with the initial release of the BLIZZARD and
CYBERSTORM G3/G4 boards, the G4 processors may not be shipping in
quantities. But it is even more important that support of the improved
features of the G4 processor by Amiga software applications,
developers and tools will take time, and it is very unlikely that
wider support of these features ľ which the Amiga users would benefit
from ľ will be realized before early next year. Because of this reason
(and yet undetermined pricing and available frequencies), we have
decided to remove the G4 offer from the product list right now. We
believe that the time for the G4 will come in the year 2000, after
Amiga developers have implemented G4 support into software
applications, and availability and pricing of the G4 processors makes
them an even more attractive choice than in the very near future.
Remember, both the BLIZZARD and the CYBERSTORM G3/G4 have a socketed
processor module, which will allow for easy upgrading - and phase 5
digital products will offer attractively priced G4 modules as soon as
the G4 processors are shipping in quantities.
