Sid4Amiga version 3
After author Paul Heams has lost all source codes for his C64 Sidplayer due to a
physical failure of his hard drive, he sat down and restarted with the original
code from the Linuxpage, showing once again the importance of backups ;-).
After all, the new Sidplayer is faster, has some bugs removed, and
the AHI play routines are now functional. The author further writes that he
nevertheless has much work left to do, since he also has to rewrite the complete GUI.

Is the Microsoft Console coming?
Spiegel Netzwelt writes:
According to rumors, Microsoft is currently working on its own game console, which is
reported to be similar powerful than Sonys announced PlayStation 2.
The software company Microsoft is reportedly working on a game console
code-named "X-Box". The TV expansion is meant mainly for games, but could have other
functionality, too, reported US game magazine Next
Generation in its October issue, citing unnamed sources.
According to this article, the console will either run on a 500 MHz chip by
Intel or an Athlon chip by AMD, with gfx technology provided by nVidia. As operating system,
a modified version of Microsoft's Portable-System Windows CE will be employed. With
this setup, the Microsoft console might be comparable in performance to Sonys announced
Playstation 2, the article sais. As manufacturer for the Microsoft-designed console,
Dell and Gateway might be possible partners. (Full article - German - at the title link).

+++ AMIGA-aktuell-Special +++
Aside from the info about Tom Schmidts message, Amiga-aktuell has found the following
change on the Amiga website:
'Giga' appearance by Petro Tyschtschenko postponed to 16.09.99 (06.09.99)
-----------
Due to his recent USA trip, the appearance of AMIGA Vice President Petro Tyschtschenko
in the computer show 'NBC Giga' has been postponed to Thursday, September 16th, 6:00 PM.
According to the following information, however, it's hardly the Amiga future which will
be talked about, but more probably the history of our computer system:
>>24.08.1999 AMIGA International, Inc. at NBC GIGA-TB
NBC GIGA-TV has invited AMIGA International, Inc. (in person of Petro Tyschtschenko)
to participate in a talkshow, since AMIGA has a very turbulent past, which is unique
in computer history. In the show, which is more entertaining than technical, there
will be talk (among other) about AMIGA in Commodore and Escom times. ANNEX will appear,
too. The show will be broadcast on Thursday, September 16th, on 6:00 PM.<<

Thomas J. Schmidt in Executive Update
Dear Amigans:
I wanted to make sure everyone knew that Jim Collas has chosen to leave Amiga to pursue
other interests and opportunities. I would like to personally thank Jim for the leadership
and vision he brought to Amiga and the entire Amiga community over the past eight
months. We wish him the best of luck in his new endeavors.
I have been with Amiga since April of this year as the Chief Operating Officer and I
continue to be extremely excited about the plans and strategies we have been working very
hard on the past several months. Those plans will continue with a great business and
technology leadership team focused on the emerging Internet Appliance market space. As
we finalize our plans in this area, we will communicate those to the community.
I would also like to thank Bill McEwen for his many contributions to the Amiga community
and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Bill has been a steady and calming
voice to the community.
Regards,
Thomas J. Schmidt
President

Zune - Open Source Reimplementation of MUI
Zune is a project to reimplement Stefan Stuntz' MUI as Open Source. To achieve this,
the project makes use of the API and the freely redistributable includes of the MUI SDK
only. The project is based on the LPGL.
Currently Zune is developed under Linux. It is however planned to be portable
to other Unixes and, if possible, more or less easily portable for Windows and BeOS.
The project is 20% finished. This includes a good dozen key classes like Notify,
Window, Group, Area, Text, Image and the dynamic loading of classes as well as other
features.
The current source code
can be downloaded as tgz archive from the homepage.
On this page, you can find some screenshots of the GUI system.
A mailinglist is available from EGroups.
Non-members have access to the archive, too. The list can be subscribed by sending an empty
eMail to zune-subscribe@egroups.com or with
the form on the bottom of the homepage.
A CVS repository is planned, all participation is warmy welcomed.
