DVD Copy Control Association dismiss the case against Andrew Bunner. Bunner was sued by DVD-CCA for distributing the source code to DeCSS on his website."

Also look at this site.

"Written by Norwegian teenager Jon Johansen, the code was initially aimed at letting Linux-based computers play DVDs. However, the code became widely distributed as a means for breaking through, or decrypting, the Content Scrambling System, an anticopying technology the DVD CCA created that most DVDs use.

Norwegian courts ruled last month for a second time that Johansen did not break that country's laws in releasing the DeCSS code online."

Pegasos II owners must make a firmware update before doing any changes to OpenFirmware.

bPlan Announcement (English)
bPlan Announcement(Deutsch)

"Before you made changes to your Pegasos II openfirmware you must change the installed flash version of your Pegasos II mainboard first.

Please excuse the incommodities. Do not use this update for Pegasos I mainboards. Use only the file we offered here for the down load."

{Thanks to Amiga-News.de and MorphOS-News for catching this announcement!}

There is an md5 checksum error in the HDInstall.bat file on the MorphOS 1.4 CD included with the Pegasos-II which prevents install to HD. To correct this issue, please follow one of the following methods:

1) Use the downloadable iso
2) copy morphosboot:#? dest: all clone
3) or fix the hdinstall problems with the following script: HERE

(The page also describes how to make the script.)

Because I am a fan of the old Atari 8bit line of computers as well as a MorphOS user, I put up a page telling people the basics of running the Atari800 emulator on MorphOS. Here is my Atari800 on MorphOS webpage.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
