One computer on the Genoko is an Amiga 4000 with a Motorola 68060/50MHz.
The operating system is AmigaOS 3.1.
It is equiped with Fast-SCSI-2, CD-ROM, DAT drive, MO drive (9cm, 640MB),
Ethernet 10Base-T, 24-bit graphics card and other fine things.
The second is a SUN SPARCstation 10, running Solaris 7.
Another one is a PentiumPro, also running Solaris 7.
These three are connected with TCP/IP using twisted pair Ethernet (10Base-T).
This HTML-pages and nearly all of the included multimedia data
(pictures, animations, sound files, ...)
are made on the Amiga.
The only exeption is the Java class on this page,
which is developed on a Macintosh II with the
Java development kit JDK 1.0.2
from
sun.
On board, we are using star date and time.
If your browser supports Java applets and HTML-4.0,
you will see the actual star date here:
As said, this class was developed using the JDK 1.0.2 on a Macintosh.
To be able using star date on your computer, too,
you may get some software from here:
Amiga:Stardate.lha (19 kByte);
Stardate.readme
(6.2 kByte english, deutsch).
two programms for AmigaOS;
one shows actual stardate on your workbench
and the other enables you to convert star date notation
to 20th centuries notation and vice versa.
Java:StardateClock.class (2.6 kByte)
this applet shows the actual star date (see above).
Now a short list of links to the terrestrical WWW
for MS-Windows-suffering earthlings with no fear
of meeting other, more modern technologies of the 20th century.
Amiga International
The cooperation who produces and sells Amigas.
You'll find information
and a lot of links to Amiga related web pages there.
NetBSD
free version of BSD/OS, which isn't allowed to call itself Unix, too;
runs on nearly every computer system.
Newton at Apple USA
a new technologie, years older than MS-Windows CE but so far ahead. 1998-02-17:
the further development of this since 1993-08-02 buyable
and upto the actual version 2.1 matured system was stopped from Apple.
Apple has closed their Newton Web site.
This may be in connection with:
the CPU of the MessagePads (the (Strong)ARM)
was produced and developed by Digital Electronic Corp.
DEC was sold to Compaq and the chip producing factory
went over to intel.
intel bought the licence to produce and sell ARM CPUs
and is now celebrating their ARM processor family
with StrongARM and XScale...
Apple made some contracts with Microsoft.
(the last 'cooperation' betweeen Apple und Microsoft
ended with yearlasting sueing and court proceedings ...)
