At O.A.S.E.2 event in Austria this weekend, Mr. Schober will show
first in public new parts of AmithlonXL product, including stuff
also that would be first available after sales release of OS4!
The O.A.S.E.2 event, which will be held this weekend in Graz, will see the
first public demonstration of AmithlonXL components. Some of the parts
shown would regularly be first available only with the release of the
announced OS4 operating system.
The new stuff demonstrated there, will include Audio drivers for SBLive,
TerraTec Solo1, TerraTec 512i, CMedia and many many others. However, because
of the short time we had, we were unable to get all the hardware to demonstrate
all new Audio drivers.
The Network connection will be established trough a RealTek 100Mbit card
controlled by the brandnew TCP/IP-Stack RoadShow from well known
Olaf Barthel. The features of RoadShow will include great services
as PPPoE, firewall and extended routing possibilities.
The system will be presented by Mr. Schober on his AthlonXP 1800. This
machine will be equipped with SoundBlasterLive, RealTek 100Mbit Network
Adapter and Matrox DualHead graphics card.
If possible, some benchmarks with the new FFS2 file sytem will be made, but
if time should prove to be short for those, we will deliver their results
on our Amithlon product home page later.
More information about AmithlonXL and AmigaOS XL Updates will be available
shortly on the usual web sites of our distributor Haage&Partner.
Naturally these will also contain information about pricing and availability.

AmithlonXL world premiere at O.A.S.E.2 event in Graz : Comment 40 of 40 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Jürgen Schober on 15-Sep-2002 20:37 GMT | A short comment from the show.
What I got were some files from Harald Frank which he calls "AmithlonXL" (ATM).
It included the roadshow TCP/IP stack (which we also demoed on the 3 OS4 machines), 100MBit Ethernet (which we also demoed on 2 OS4 machines) and sound support. The base was an Amithlon system based on the AmigaXL distribution with Bernies recent contrib 3 update. Haralds archive also contained new gfx drivers, though multi monitor support is also possible with Bernies contrib 3 archive. Sound support included some soundcards (which don't all know from memory yet), but we had a SB Live! and the Terratec 512i "running" (well, sort of, I couldn't go ahead this damend "could not open ahi.device V4" under Amplifier problem - which is not an Amithlon problem but my fault. Didn't have enough time to fix that, but AHI-prefs and the new AmithlonMixer worked fine, though).
(Ben, I had the same problem with Martins SB Live driver).
BTW: We got the A1 running on Sunday (was just a stupid 133/100MHz settings problem (Alan, maybe you sould add a simple page with jumper settings to the boards;). It runs on a GForce2MX (AGP) and the built in USB BIOS support was nice to show (we had a big focus on USB & Highway at the show - this is one of the most cool stuff since a while on the Amiga, believe me!) The board was a Rev 'B' board with the latest PPCBoot BIOS. Nothing more, it was so new, that nothing (not even linux) could be adopted in time to the board.
BTW2: David Scheibler also demoed the Pegasos under MorphOS, just to mention.
I didn't have to much time to check that out, though, sorry.
