Index Information Ltd, Blittersoft and phase 5 digital products co-operating on
PowerPC technology for the Amiga.

February 19, 1998:

 Index Information Ltd., a UK developer and manufacturer of Amiga-based computer
products, Blittersoft, a UK based Amiga distributor, and phase 5 digital
products, a German developer and manufacturer of Amiga upgrade products, are
pleased to announce their co-operation on PowerPC technologies for the upcoming
Amiga-compatible BoXeR system by Index Information Ltd/Blittersoft

As a result of this co-operation, the BoXeR system will be shipping with a
PowerPC expansion slot, on which a PowerPC-based accelerator can be installed,
which will be fully software compatible to the PowerUP accelerators from phase 5
digital products. "We are pleased that our co-operation will further support the
migration of the Amiga towards the PowerPC, and that we can provide a unified
interface for software developers and for the users.

By use of a compatible API (Application Programmers Interface) it ensures that
software developed for PowerUP will work on the PowerPC accelerators for the
BoXeR, making it even more attractive for Amiga software vendors to support this
standard. This co-operation helps strengthen an emerging standard which will
allow a wide range of breathtaking new products."says Wolf Dietrich of phase 5
digital products. He points out that the PowerUP technology which will be used
in the PowerPC accelerators for the BoXeR is the base for a new generation of
high-tech products, such as CPU cards with multiple PowerPC processor and full
multiprocessing software support, which will be appearing later in 1998.

Additionally, the BoXeR will also incorporate a graphics card expansion slot
which is compatible with the one that is available on phase 5's CyberstormPPC
and MkIII accelerators. This will allow the availability of powerful and
inexpensive high-resolution 3D graphics card for the BoXeR, too. "By jointly
choosing a common performance level for the next generation of GFX cards,
together we can set a unified minimum standard which software developers can
rely on" adds Wolf Dietrich. "This will quickly increase the number of
applications using highest resolution and the hardware 3D acceleration,
including quite a number of fascinating new games."

Also closely involved in the co-operation is Blittersoft, the worldwide
distributor of the BoXeR system.  "Whilst the BoXeR is very much a product to
provide a diverse range of Amiga systems, we feel it is important to maintain
compatibility with the leading edge peripherals.  phase 5 products are very much
in that category, and we hope this co-operation will be the first of many, to
allow the Amiga community to receive the BoXeR design with even more confidence"
says Paul Lesurf of Blittersoft.

"We are very pleased to announce the ongoing work to increase the flexibility of
the BoXeR and the work with phase 5 will allow us to deliver a wider range of
performance options to the customer", said Mick Tinker of Index.  "BoXeR systems
will be available with performance starting at the 68040 25MHz, through all the
speed options up to the 68060 66MHz and on to single and multiprocessor PowerPC
systems with enormous performance levels.

All this will be available at time of purchase or as user upgrades. The modern
design of the BoXeR motherboard will allow the full benefit of the PowerPC to be
utilised by providing a 64-bit path to onboard memory."
