new amiga-project update 1

Update on: Amiga-project:
-------------------------

Why cant people really undestand, that this is a project aiming at our Amiga community.

I wish it to grow and "some" goes as far as spreading false rumours about our projects.

Our Amiga Project, will be the leading project, following by Opera. Its aim is to build a new Amiga tougether with those wich wants to help out. Yes, this new Amiga will be created, designed and formed by us. It will just take some time to create a team and a place to discuss this. It will also take time to create a prototype.

A Q&A section will apear this weekend on our website. Giving rumour spreaders something to think about. I am not letting rumour spreaders destroying this project at all.




Update on Opera project:
-----------------------
This project is now going on again. A bit delayed because of fever and such. Next week, amigaworld.org will give you updates. What it is, we cannot say, but we hope that you will like it.

@Acill

Youre welcome to join this team. You've been a helper for creating good articles for Amitopia and more. I will get in PM with you later on.

This new Amiga's aim is to be created by the community. Many, and I know many dont like what Amiga INC or Pegasos does. But they simply dont want to be talked about and screamed to.

ESCOM had great Amiga plans, with AmigaPPC as the next generation Amigas. This new Amiga will give programers what they want, it will give Amigans wich loved Amiga back then also a alternative.

Many knows that Amiga was the entertainer nr.1 in early 90's. Its also now, but more and more games uses more and more complicated Joysticks. I dont say its bad, but most was really happy with what ZipStick offered and more.

This new Amiga will not have any Catweasel or any external card for Amiga Joysticks or mouse. It will have USB also though, for people wich wants to use "todays" mouse and other goodies thru PoseidonUSB stack. Yes, this project aims at AmigaOS 4 or MorphOS.



Project update #2 - 06.02.2004:
-------------------------------

Now at the moment, this project is forming a team:
- hardware designers
- people with contacts
- amiga promotional people

Our goal:
- create "mordern" Amiga keyboard (USA, UK, German and Norwegian atm) for USB
- getting ZipStick back in production (small amount that is. Depends on how many is interested)
- crating a new Amiga in the end. Getting hardware designers tougether (the specs is now choosen)

All updates will be found on: http://www.amigaworld.org

All parts of the project might not be done, but then atleast. Its been tried and we will go as many steps before giving up.

Have a nice weekend!

Regards,
Michal, www.amigaworld.org

Just got an idea!

What about an Amiga Floppy adapter for USB?

Its a nice one. But its not our main priority to do so right now, but if there is more people out there wanting it. It could be a possibility.

Your idea is not deleted at all. Maybe some of the projects hardware designers is interested in it. Who knows.

Hi AmiDelf,

i like your enthusiasm and I admire it, but what makes you think that the Oliver Day's project has failed? (i've just read it on your site)

Is there something that we don't know.

Ciao

Well. Haven't heard from him in a long time, but maybe something happends. I wish him all the best offcourse. All projects is risks. Either they work or they collapse.

Webpage is now under construction. I think it will be on-line on Sunday.

Look here:
http://www.amigaworld.org/project/AmigaWorldCT_2.jpg

Thats project name and will be here. This is the AmigaWorld, creative team project. Its aim to interract Amiga users, let us show the world and others that we are strong tougether. If we can atleast get out new ZipSticks and new Amiga keyboards. That will be great.

Offcourse, the project can exstend and do other great things. Its all about what the community wants. Creating something tougether, showing companies that were a active computer community.

Michal, www.amigaworld.org

Hi AmiDelf,

those statement on your site who claims:

"Oliver is known for doing ColdFire CPU board for all Amigas, but has failed. Maybe a link could be created here?"

has scared me (for a couple of seconds).

Just contacted Oliver and FYI, ColdFusion project is UP and running.

Ciao

Sorry. I will remoove it then. Thanks for updating!
