At the top of everone's list has to be the purchase of Amiga, Inc. by KMOS. In hindsight, it seems almost inevitable. How could the Amiga OS and the Amiga company be separated? It seemed very strange but now they both belong to KMOS; strangeness resolved. Now to see what this all means for the future. We'll find out over time as KMOS translates ownership into action. Another big story, at least for those of us who speak English as a primary language, is the establishment of an English website for Titan Computer's Papyrus. This is the only office package for Amiga that I am aware of. There is probably no more important software suite to have for general purpose computing, so it is great to have the English site up and running, and signaling English support for this important software. Information on the software is below. Some encouraging news this month. We hope you enjoy reading about it. Brad Webb, Editor -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= K M O S B U Y S A M I G A , I N C . ! The news broke at AmiWest, July 24 and 25, 2004 in Sacramento, California. Below are a couple of quotes from Gary Hare, new owner of Amiga, from statements made at AmiWest. From the Banquet speech: We have now acquired Amiga Inc. We finished this aquisition in the last few days. There are several reasons for it: we have a responsibility for building a brand and we need control over it. I have said numerously that the most interesting thing about the Amiga is the talented and capable development community- we will support the development community with time and money. In short term we will focus on Amiga's DE products and we will announce extensions to it and move DE into the market immediately. We will pay developer community to make applications. It is our intention to build Amiga brand and enter into releationships with as many strategic partners as possible. From the SWAG interview conducted at AmiWest: Q: Bill and Fleecy staying on with Amiga Inc? Yes both are staying. Q: On the subject of further funding to Hyperion for further OS development. No alterations to original agreement. http://www.swaug.org.uk/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- H A R E S P E A K S A T N E T W O R K I N G E V E N T NOVATO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- July 6, 2004 -- Second Annual Multi-Association Networking Event with Major Business and Technology Groups Set for July 14 in Petaluma; Keynote Speaker Garry Hare on Wireless Communication Several major business and technology professional groups are joining together to produce the second annual Summer Breakout networking event in the North Bay. This networking celebration takes place on Wed., July 14, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Petaluma Community Center, 320 North McDowell Boulevard, Petaluma, CA. Kicking off SUMMER BREAKOUT 2004 will be a keynote speech on wireless communication by the CEO of KMOS, Garry Hare, Ph.D. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- B U G F I X F O R I B R O W S E U N D E R O S 4 29 June 2004 Testing under OS4 revealed a long standing bug in the IBrowse 2.3 preferences custom class, which manifested itself as a crash as soon as the preferences were launched. After a short testing period, we are pleased to announce the availability of the new bugfixed custom class, which can be located here http://www.ibrowse-dev.net/resources.php. We recommend that all users of IBrowse 2.3 install the new custom class, even if you do not have the crash under OS4-Pre, or even use OS4, as the bug is still present and a potential problem. Note: Those selected users that also tested the fix prior to release should also install this final release in place of the test version they were sent. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P A P Y R U S O F F I C E F O R A M I G A 16 July, 2004 Wordprocessor, integrated Spreadsheat and Relational Data Base. Complete but without overloads Huge amount of Desktop Publishing functions. Style and Paragraph Formats include all information required for designing your paragraphs, information about used fonts, font height, font style a.s.o.; You can save this information as paragraph- and style-format templates (also combined as paragraph-textstyle-templates) you can drop these templates into a popup-menu which can be opened through the document-rulorbar. You can gradate the attributes of your format-templates as you want (you can enable or disable every single attribute for font, fontsize optional hyphenation for paragraph- and styleformat); Change these formats very comfortably with the help of discontinuous blockmarking. Generate Table of Contents automatical with hierarchical numbering in arbitrary design (letters, numbers, roman letters); Format overview provides hypertext-function (a click on headline in the format-overview jumps to the respective part in your document). Enumeration-lists and unsorted lists with preceding Bullets or Strokes; Counter for pictures and tables. Fully automatic readapting (text and source verify) Reference-Notes/Cross-References for references in headlines (the headline-references can be displayed with chapter-numbers and page-numbers or without), pictures, tables and any kind of textparts; this results into living headlines (chapter-headlines in the head-area of the page) and suchlike more. References in your document are also used as hypertextlinks, you can click on these links and you will be routed to the respective text-part automatically. Furthermore you can "misuse" such cross-references to use them as calculation-field. Font-Management: All fonts are managed in font-families and can be choosen either from rulorbar or from an own font-dialog; Styles will be managed respectively to their font-families. The font height can be adjusted in 1/100 steps from 1 upto 2000 points. The fonts are easily editable in whole families or just in fontname and fontspoints without need to care for the different points per font, furthermore text-styles can be included too (once more through the helpfull discontinuous blockmarking). Fully integrated Spread-Sheet Analysis with graphical presentation of the finest one - flow text-fields (on decrease of the text quantity the fields reduce naturally automatically again in the height); combined fields (dissolvable by mouse-click); Narrow lines between two fields in style freely selectable; free filling samples for all fields; all fields rotatable (also combinded) in 90 degree steps (while maintaining the capable for editingness). Full Spread-Sheet Arithmetic Functions in all tables - All fields accessible by reference (also from other, even closed documents in highest speed), basic arithmetic operations, sums over any field ranges, statistics, trigonometry, conditional calculations (IF ... THEN ...) ... All number-displays are in each case for arbitrary adjustable separately for any field-formats like aftercomma-figure, color, precent, minus sign, as well as text before it and behind it and automatic tabulator adjustment. Forms with freely placeable input fields, which can be easily adapted to all defaults. This is where DTP creative power of papyrus-documents comes in handy, e.g. with the "only on screen" function for all frameworks, allowing you to bring defaults on the screen for your own orientation (which will not be printed out). Relational Data Base "papyrus BASE" as an integrated component of papyrus OFFICE; our comfortable search possibilities find your data faster than any data base (you can try out these database functions with papyrus OFFICE Demo). Be it for comfortable address administration (one for the immediate use prepared address data base is already included in papyrus OFFICE) or for a whole invoicing with calculation posting etc. (enclosed to papyrus OFFICE you find an invoice example data base which you can adapt easily to your needs). Did you ever had to write already several invoices per minute? With papyrus OFFICE that can be done painless! The integration of data base and word processing in a program gives many unique possibilities, which you can not find in most other Office packages, because these consist, as a general rule, only off separate programs. Serial Letters and Data Base - Unique comfortable Data Base-Noble-Reports directly from papyrus OFFICE with full Papyrus-Text- and DTP-design possibilities, automatic administration of field names and transfer of the same by mouse-click at arbitrary places in the document (also multi-transfers are possible) also arbitrary arithmetic functions with the data base fields are possible during the report. Here you can arrange your reports of address labels from article lists up to automatically filled out forms such as debit or cash on delivery notes or complete and complex serial letters. Naturally everything with Papyrus´ free paperformats, thus of the label over the high-quality invitation on carton up to the normal letter. A standard report is definable as "flash"-report so that you can get an address at minimum effort (two button clicks and typing of the search term) into your letter. Reports can be defined as Internet Email so that you can inform all your customers with personally addressing Emails for example! HyperOFFICE bibliography - from the interconnection of text- and data base part results the fact that you can administer e.g. complex literature work with your quotations simply in the data base and directly from your text quotes - normally it takes you a lot of time to create a billiogaphy, now its just a click on a button and its done - and its perfect (naturally freely designable, depending upon needs whom the work is to be transferred). Templates; respectivetly sample documents to providing for prefabricated documents, which you need again and again. Callable from own path; Storing in the document path; in templates always used current dates are automatically set to standard date if you save as normal document. Document exchange without problems: Papyrus has probably the most polished RTF (Rich Text Format, the document exchange format of the Mircosoft Corp.) for documents exchange from and to papyrus e.g. MS-Word as well as all other usual word processors (which normally are able to handle RTF). RTF-exchange handles page-layout, character sets, paragraph formats, serial letter fields, form fields, tables, pictures a.s.o., so that documents can be exchanged as far as possible loss-free between different programs and papyrus. A unique feature is that papyrus handles ASCII- Im- and Export and also RTF 28 allocation tables (simply selectable over a popup), so that annoyance e.g. with German umlauts when transporting to other systems, e.g. to the Macintosh belongs to the past. Furthermore papyrus is able to import/export Mircosoft Word documents incl. Tables, images, paragraph-formats, formations etc. The papyrus database supports CSV, CSV Windows and Macintosh Excel formats, dbase I-IV and of cource ASCII The Search/Replace function can also create discontiune blocks for each appearance of the search term in your document. Font overview you can select each font of the complete character set with a simple mouse-click. Internally, papyrus supports the full 16-Bit Unicode management for fonts. The Spelling Correction „IntelliView-Correction“, those which already found a well-kown „big“ imitator because of its unobstrusive background control, is included in papyrus since 1993! Automatic Footnotes administration directly on the document pages with likewise automatic consecutively numbering. The footnote area can be arranged freely in offset, hyphen etc.. Wildcards for page number with additional offset, file name optionally with path, date optional allways new computed alternatively with offset, date of last changes, constant date; date-format freely adjustable. Extremely fast adding of Keywords into the index by automatic transfer of the selected word, re-use of the last generic term as well as all other parameters with the next call. So that normally a shortcut-call of the dialogue and the confirmation with "OK" is enough (just two keyboard hits) for adding a keyword with all suitable parameters (generic term, reversal, page number opt. bold, italic, text in front of it/behind it, opt. own text style). To the usual bold, italic etc. there are also extended Texstattributes such as blockage, color (for each letter separately selectable), Microspacing, micro step positioning which is very useful for writing formulas (see image on the left hand). Typing-from-left-to-right as paragraph format for e.g. Arabic texts. Text lines can be clasped and held together lines can be adjusted for top and bottom of the page. http://www.titan-computer.com/ami/papyrus/e_features.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- N E W C A T W E A S E L D E S I G N A N N O U N C E D 18 July, 2004: Announcement: Technical data of the new Catweasel MK4 During the first months of this year, we were totally surprised by the overwhelming demand for Catweasel MK3. All stock has been sold, and even our retail partners do not have anything left in stock. The demand was so high that one controller even went for more than 150,- EUR on eBay! Unfortunately, it turned out that a new production run of the existing MK3-design cannot be done for reasonable prices, so a re-design became necessary. The new controller is now in the first stage before mass production, so we're confident to be able to show the first controllers at the Amiwest show on july 24th and 25th in Sacramento, Califoria. Many improvements have been made compared to the Catweasel MK3 that can be summarized under the headline "bigger, better, faster". The changes in detail; The most obvious change is the size of the card: With only 2.5 inch (63.5mm) height, it complies to the low-profile PCI standard that not only fits into any normal computer case, but also in flat models that are so famous among so-called "case -modders". The Flipper-interface will not be continued. Those who need a Catweasel for their classic Amiga can use the Catweasel Z-II S-Class, which is still availble. Improvements to the floppy controller; Kylwalda built in While the old Catweasel models always had their own floppy drives that were installed in addition to the existing controller and drives, the MK4 has the option of using the existing diskdrives. After the machine has started, the drives can be used just like before, and after the drivers have been loaded, the Catweasel can take control of these drives when necessary. This is especially useful for smaller cases with fewer drive bays. We already addressed this problem earlier with an additional product called 'Kylwalda'. Support for auto-eject drives Drives without eject-button are well-known from Macintosh computers, and they're now fully supported by the Catweasel. You can also mix floppy types, one with an eject-button, and another from the Macintosh world on the same cable. Hard-sectored disks supported This kind of 5.25 and 8 inch disks were already readable with the previous Catweasel models, but writing was only possible with a high software effort, and it required a realtime operating system. This effort is not necessary any more with the new controller, because new options allow complete support of these disk types in hardware. Dual-ported memory Contrary to its predecessors, the new Catweasel MK4 can pass the data that it is currently reading from a disk to the computer while the read access is running. This allows realtime emulation, and error-free function of copy-protected softwar e on emulators. More flexible read- and write operations In addition to working on whole tracks, which made all previous Catweasel models so flexible, tracks can now also be partially accessed very precisely. Should this become necessary for compatibility or speed reasons, the Catweasel MK4 is perfe ctly prepared. Extensive timer-functions Although most operating systems already offer timer-functions in software, you cannot always rely on them. The most recent example are the timing-problems that occur with Hyperthreading-processors and Windows operating systems. Since all timer s are running independantly in the hardware of the Catweasel MK4, nothing can go wrong in this regard. All events can trigger an interrupt (IRQ) Together with the hardware-timer functions, this is the best solution for multitasking operating systems. The driver software does not have to check regularly if the controller needs attention, which reduces the processor load. Improvements to the keyboard interface In addition to Amiga-keyboards, PS/2 devices can now also be connected. Not only keyboards, but also PS/2 mice are supported. The keyboard controller can now trigger IRQs, and for those customers who want to continue using their favourite comb ination of PS/2 mouse and keyboard on USB-only computers, the Catweasel MK4 has two connectors of this kind. Improvements to the joystick ports Amiga mice supported in hardware Amiga mice only have minimal electronics that always pass the movements of the device to the computer in realtime. Classic Amiga computers have hardware-support for interpretation of these signals in the chipset, and this support has now been added to the Catweasel. Theoretically, using Amiga mice was already possible with the Catweasel MK3, but this required a software effort that was not justifiable. With the new hardware, the software effort is reduced to a minimum. Every signal can be programmed as output The digital joystick ports of the 8-bit computers of the 80s were mostly usable in two directions, they were not only inputs, but also programmable as data outputs. We're following this tradition, and also present this possibility for the Catw easel MK4. Compatible with CD32 pads The game controllers of the Amiga CD32 can now also be used on the Catweasel. A special capability of the classic Amigas (and therefore also of the CD32) made these pads exclusive to this computer, if connected to other computers, not all butt ons of the pad could be used. Technically speaking: Even the potentiometer-pins of the digital joystick ports can be programmed as outputs on the Catweasel MK4. Improvements to the SID audio part; DC-DC converter eliminates noise On the Catweasel MK3, it was possible that noises from 3D-graphics cards or high-speed harddrives were coupled into the 12V-power supply of the SID audio part. This cannot happen any more on the Catweasel MK4, because a DC-DC converter is an i nsuperable obstacle for such noises. Cycle-exact control In addition to the known programming that's compatible with the Catweasel MK3, the MK4 has a sophisticated script-language for SID control. This lets the programmer define the exact time for data to be written to the SID chips. To make sample playback sound exactly like on a real C64, the data rate to the SID chip must be kept at a constant rate. This is accomplished with a Fifo memory that is big enough to maintain the datarate even under high processor load conditions. Digiboost for new SID versions As opposed to the 'classic SID' 6581, the newer SID-chips 8580 and 6582 cannot playback samples any more. This option, which is also called 'the fourth voice', is replaced by two sigma-delta converters on the Catweasel MK4, so the fourth chann el is also audible with the newer SID versions. Since the filter properties and the sound of mixed waveforms of all SID versions have their supporters, this should make the decision for the right chip a little easier. Filter capacitors selectable Commodore has defined three different capacitor values for the filters of the SIDs during the years that this chip has been produced. The result was that the same chip sounded differently if used in different computers. To bring the sound as c lose as possible to what you are used to, the filter capacitors can be chosen with a few jumpers. Precise clocking The Catweasel MK3 used the commodore-chip 8701 to recreate the exact same clock. Since our stock of this chip is empty with the Catweasel MK3 being sold out, we have cloned it on the main logic chip of the Catweasel MK4: The exact base frequen cy is generated with crystals that have been made especially for us. By division and multiplication according to the specifications of the C64 schematics from 1982, we managed to replace the 8701, which is not made any more. Even the slight di fference between PAL and NTSC computers is software-selectable! Two SIDs for stereo sound You'll have twice the SID pleasure after installing a second SID chip. Every SID has it's own selection of filter capacitors, and SIDs of all versions can be mixed. Technology improvements; compatible with 3.3V and 5V PCI slots Even though PC boards with 3.3V PCI slots are not yet widely available, the Catweasel is prepared for it. The roadmap of the PCI special interest group plans to abandon 5V PCI slots within forseeable time, and the Catweasel is perfectly suited for that date. Local generation of the 3.3V power also ensures proper function on early PCI motherboards that do not comply to the ATX standard. Two DMA interfaces In addition to processor-based data transfer, the Catweasel MK4 can exchange data with the main system through two low-speed DMA channels: The first goes throught he PCI slot, and it has a capacity of about 8K per second and direction. The sec ond uses the direct connection to the onboard-floppy controller, and the speed is up to 100K per second. Low power consumption The Catweasel MK4 makes use of the latest FPGA technology with 2.5V core voltage. This reduces the power consumption of the new controller to a fraction of what the Catweasel MK3 used. This also reduces heat generation a lot. Re-configurable logic The FPGA on the Catweasel MK4 is completely re-configurable by the drivers. This means that a hardware update can be done through the internet! Should we find a disk format that cannot be handled with the current hardware, the core of the Catw easel can be 're-wired' to address the problem. The controller doesn't even have to be taken out of the computer for ths update! Drivers for many operating systems The Catweasel MK4 is delivered with drivers for Linux, Windows 98(se)/ME/XP/2000, Amiga OS4, and for Mac OS X at a later date. The Catweasel MK4 will be available starting october 2004. The target retail price is 99,- EUR. individual Computers Roermonder Str 228 | 52072 Aachen |Impressum http://ami.ga/jumpnews99_e.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- U P G R A D E D E F L A S H 4 0 0 0 F R O M E L B O X 21 July, 2004 Elbox Computer, the leading manufacturer of hardware for Amiga computers, is happy to announce availibility of a new version of the eFlash 4000 Zorro III card. The new eFlash 4000 is equipped with FlashROM memory twice the size of the original eFlash 4000 card. About the eFlash 4000/2MB card: eFlash 4000/2MB is an autobooting Zorro III card with extremely fast 32-bit design, fitted with 16Mb of the FlashROM memory. eFlash 4000/2MB features: · 16Mbit of Flash memory · Extremely fast Zorro III interface · 32-bit datapatch · Boot ON/OFF switch · Program selector · Hardware write protection of the FlashROM memory · 100,000 erase/programming cycles · 20-year data retention eFlash 4000/2MB package contents: · eFlash 4000/2MB Zorro III card · eFlashCD with the Flash Composing/Writing/Verifying/Reading Tool software The on-board FlashROM allows storage of programs, which are run at the computer's boot-up process. Every resident-capable programs, libraries, devices, and AmigaOS ROM Updates can be stored in the FlashROM memory of the eFlash 4000 card and executed without reboots on a cold Amiga start. This dramatically reduces the boot time of classic Amigas. The eFlash 4000 card can also initialise PCI cards installed in Mediator-equipped A3000 and A4000 computers before the AmigaOS system starts. The computer could be booted from mass storage devices connected through various PCI controllers, e.g. Spider Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cards and Ultra-ATA/133 PCI controllers, when drivers are available. Users of the AmigaOS4.x operating system will have an additional benefit: the eFlash 4000 card will give them a possibility of definite shortening of the system's start time by executing the AmigaOS code from the FlashROM memory. Thanks to the extremely fast design and the linear memory addressing, the eFlash 4000 card can be also used as a very fast non-volatile memory for storing the data, whose reading is time critical. FlashROM memory installed on the eFlash 4000 card allows also direct execution of programs stored in this memory without the necessity of copying programs code to the system Fast memory. The FlashROM memory installed in the eFlash 4000 Zorro III card is directly available in the Zorro III Amiga memory space. This FlashROM memory can be read at the full speed of the 32-bit Zorro III bus. The access time to the FlashROM memory of the eFlash 4000 Zorro III card is over ten times faster than the access time to FlashROM of the Flash Zorro II cards. It is not only because Zorro III protocol is much faster than offered by Zorro II. It is also because the FlashROM of the eFlash 4000 card is directly readable in one megabyte of linear memory space with the 32-bit datapatch, while in Flash Zorro II cards the FlashROM is readable through sixteen kilobytes memory window with the 8-bit datapatch. http://elbox.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- N E W U S B S P I D E R D R I V E R F R O M E L B O X 30 July, 2004 Elbox Computer is proud to announce availability of a new version of the spider.device driver for the Poseidon stack for SPIDER and SPIDER II High-Speed USB 2.0 controllers.
