Novell does not stop NetWare development FirewireDirect started sales of external HDD, Ultra III 800 Intel cuts delivery of 533 FSB processors to distributors Asustek showcases DRW-0402P/D and aggressively explores the optical storage market LL-T2015 — new 20.1" TFT LCD monitor from Sharp Finecam S5R — 5 Mpix camera by Kyocera Tyan releases Tachyon G9800 PRO-M Novell does not stop NetWare development As it was recently mentioned in the news, published at LinuxWorld conference, Novell is considering to stop NetWare development. This is far from true, as we reckon. Here´s the quotation of the official letter we received from Novell´s Russian branch: "Inspite of our often statements, that NetWare development and support would not be stopped Novell´s discussions regarding Linux invariably results worries about Novell´s fulfillment of engagements regarding NetWare. Let us destroy the worries. As we constantly say it, we´re not giving NetWare up, we just adding Linux.
Novell always pay much attention to customer´s needs, and nowadays customers
want to have an option. As we told this April and repeated the idea at LinuxWorld
we will make Novell´s services available for new NetWare kernel versions as
well as for Linux kernel. Novell has huge amount of NetWare users and we´ll
keep them served as usual. The latest NetWare version (6.5) will be supplied
starting next week, it will include new powerful services for steady business,
open sources, Web application services and "virtual office" support.
Nowadays we´re working on NetWare 7.0 – it will be released for NetWare and
Linux kernel as well. This fact is unlikely could be considered as our decision
to give up our obligations."
FirewireDirect started sales of external HDD, Ultra III 800 FirewireDirect started sales of new external 3.5" drives Ultra III 800 with FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) interface, providing throughoutput up to 800 Mbit/s.  Drives are based on Oxford 922 FireWire 800 chipset and equipped with additional USB 2.0 interface. Product line includes several models with capacity up to 320 GB. Separately FirewireDirect started sales of StingRay 800 with FireWire 800 interface. Intel cuts delivery of 533 FSB processors to distributors Intel, in an effort to promote wide acceptance of the 800MHz FSB (front-side bus) standard, is cutting back deliveries of its 533MHz FSB CPUs to distributors, according to The Digitimes. Distributors are not happy about Intel’s strategy, as Intel is only on average fulfilling 30-40% of orders placed by distributors for 533MHz FSB-supporting CPUs, according to sources. Intel’s move is limiting potential sales for the distributors at a time when demand for the 533MHz FSB standard and supporting components are at an all-time high due it its lower costs, sources added. As first-tier motherboard makers estimate, 30% of all Intel motherboards sold come from Intel’s 800MHz FSB-supporting 865 and 875 family while 70% come from the company’s 533MHz FSB-supporting 845 family. Intel’s business strategy is not surprising to distributors, however, as the company will begin delivery of two more 800MHz FSB chipsets, the 848P and 865GV, on August 11, taking aim at the market just below the current 865 market. Intel 800MHz FSB Pentium 4 motherboard shipments could grow 30-40% from now to the end of September, according to motherboard makers. In October, when Intel again lowers CPU prices, 800MHz FSB motherboard shipments will skyrocket, added makers. In the meantime, distributors will just have to wait.
