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).

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

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

CCC Press Release about MS Crypto API Backdoor
Press Information from Chaos Computer Club
Microsoft Operating Systems with builtin Backdoor:
Secure cryptography with Windows jeopardized
By detailed research with the WindowsNT operating system by an American
Security Software developer, a massive software backdoor could be revealed in the
operating systems Windows95, 98, NT and Windows 2000 (beta), which is likely dating
back to an initiative by the US secret service NSA. This has a heavy impact on
Microsoft's operating systems security.
After the initiatives of the American secret service NSA (National
Security Agency) for worldwide communications control by means of internationally
standarised regulation of encryption have suffered severe setbacks, now obviously
it is attempted to reach the same goals by implementing backdoors in the American
software products dominating the market. (Rest of the press release at the title
link.)
I consider it a shame how US NSA (and German authorities, too!) violate the most
basic civil rights "for the greater good". Even worse, they get away with spying on
your eMail, your phone, your whatever, because they "are the good ones"... yeah, sure. (mb)

Kamil Iskra has released the binaries of "gcc 2.95.1" for AmigaOS. They can be found on the GeekGadgets servers at
amiga/m68k/alpha/misc/gcc-2.95.1-bin020.tgz
(6.47 MB).
They are compiled for 68020+ CPUs, and can be loaded residently. The sourcecodes are
available by anonymous login from the GeekGadgets CVS server.
With gcc version 2.95, the seperate branches of gcc and egcs are merged back together,
so GeekGadgets again uses exclusively gcc.
Improvements have been made e.g. in register handling, so the previously common
"fixed or forbidden register was spilled" error should be less frequent with this version.

Some time ago, we asked Met@box about some info about the amiJoe1200 board, and

This is the latest Info, newer will surely surface in one or two weeks based on
the latest developments.
Up to 143 times as fast as an original Amiga(TM)
1200 (calculated by Motorola specifications at 333 MHz)
That's the amiJoe...
- the amiJoe1200 is the ideal CPU-expansion to bring the Amiga(TM) 1200 to the
PowerPC(TM) era.
This does the amiJoe1200
By using the powerful PPC750 (G3) CPU, the high-performance backside cache and the
PCI bridge, the Amiga(TM) 1200 turns into a modern computer. Due to the integrated
68k emulation, current Amiga software stays usable, while PPC(TM) native programs
can make use of the full speed advantage.
The RAM expansion to up to 512 MB is done with PC66 SO-DIMMs common
to the laptop scene. Of course, the amiJoe1200 has a real-time clock.

Phase5: Next Generation PowerPC G4 processor boards
Phase 5 writes:
TOP NEWS 02.09.99:Join the exclusive club of GigaFLOPS users now - with the
Next Generation PowerPC G4 processor boards from phase 5 digital products!
Faster than expected just five weeks ago, Motorola's new PowerPC G4 (XPC7400) processor
powerhorse is now shipping! We have therefore immediately decided to make this brand-new
technology available to all Amiga 1200/3000/4000 users, by shipping all of our upcoming next
generation CYBERSTORM and BLIZZARD boards with these new high-performance G4 CPUs!
Because of that, only with our new products series
- Your Amiga will get the most up-to-date CPU which was ever available in an Amiga,
including any upgrade processor boards
- Your Amiga will offer a processing performance which is superior to nearly any available
personal computer system today - supercomputer performance on your desktop! Plus
even the option for symmetrical Multi-Processing with Dual-XPC7400 modules for those
who need the real bang....
- Your Amiga is technologically up-to-date - with powerful hardware, expansion options
and the support of highly modern Operating Systems including backwards compatibility to
the Amiga OS 3.x.
Please also take a look on the updated product specifications below, as well as on Motorola's
website http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/ !
For all Amiga users, who now finally decide to buy a next generation CYBERSTORM or
BLIZZARD G4 board, we have extended the preoder program with significant discounts one last
time until October 15, 1999. Don't miss that final deadline!
IMPORTANT:
If you have already ordered a G3 board, you do not have to place a new order or
act. All customers, who have ordered a 400MHz G3 version in the preorder program, will receive
a 400MHz G4 version of the CYBERSTORM or BLIZZARD G4 board at no extra cost.
Customers of a 300MHz G3 version will receive a separate notification from us.

At the title link, you will find a posting to comp.sys.amiga.misc, listing the patents
filed by Amiga. We didn't take a closer look at the list, but perhaps one reader or
another has the time to read them :-).

FMdriver Update Version 1.12
Stefan Robl writes:
The FMdriver packet has been improved further:
All programs can now save in IFF format, too (8 as well as 24 bit). All problems with
flicker or lines in small resolutions should be fixed, the FPS rate now looks much more
stable, too. A serious bug has been removed that occured when there was no Prism24 module
connected. The FMRecorder now offers several file formats, so it will work with every
video software. Small changes and bugfixes.
