On the Cover:
Pictured on the front cover is a cellular telephone cell site. This is the "antenna" used by cellular phone
companies to connect subscribers cell phones into the telecommun ications network . Every year, as cell
phones get more and more popular amongst business people (large and small companies), the cell phone
"dark side" is gaining just as much popularity. Cellular Phreaking has become very wide spread and is costing
the cellular telephone service providers millions of dollars in lost revenue each year. People wo uld like to
believe that they're safe from this "phreaking"... which is simply not true. If you use a cellular telephone,
someone ...heck, anyone (with the proper knowledge) can "phreak" your cell phone. The term phreaking
means the use of telephone service (or any service, really) from someone other than the subscriber with the
intent to defraud the service provider. Not only is this extremely illegal and carry some hefty penalties , but it's
also a huge nuisance to those subscribers who fall victim to this treachery. This type of theft is that of an
anonymous person - the victim nor the thief having a "face." It's slick, clean and it's easy to do. You'd be
surprised at what type of people do this sort of thing, really. The boy next door, your boss, the mailman , your
teacher.....your dad? Who knows...and that's what is so appealing to people considering this. They can get
away with something that is just as useful as is it exciting. It's so appealing to the tune of a few million dollars
in cellular revenue losses each year. For the experience cellular phreaker, they can get away with this day
after day after day and never be caught. That's right - NEVER! No matter how tough laws become. No
matter what the penalties are. No matter what precautions are invoked. No matter what ridiculous incentive
or bills fat pig politicians get passed, the fact is that this type of theft is here to STAY. Why is it? Let's put this
in small words. Anything, no matter how secure it may be, will fall victim to people armed with knowledge!

So you want an easy way to stay in touch? Tired of people calling you at all hours of the day? Astounded by the outrageous
prices different services can charge? Well , then for these and many other reasons you NEED to read this article. Well ,
basically what this is about is how to hack vo ice-mai l. Voice-ma il is a very handy tool that can be used in many different ways .
Voice-mail is a VERY SIMPLE operat ion that can be performed from a touch tone phone . Usually how this works is someone
who wants to leave you a message or get in touch with you calls a number which is usually a 1-800 number, but there are
some voice-mail boxes (VMB's) that have direct dial numbers. After the person calls the number, the person then dials in the
voice -mail box number and is then ab le to leave a message in that slot. What happens is that when a person wants to get
his/hers messages they just dial up the same 1-800 number and enters their voice-mail box number and then they enter their
personal code (password , PIN , etc .). After this is done , they can do th ings such as chang ing their outgoing message,
password, save messages, delete messages, forward their number, etc. If you th ink th is sounds hard ...well , it's not. It is a
very simple process . One thing that makes this so simple is that there is voice prompting with many of these services which
guides one along with everything you do and explains everyth ing that is going on (prerecorded message , much like the newer
digital all voice prompting answering machines). Oh, and you don't have to worry about the "voice" telling you something
similar to "You are an unauthorized user and are being traced ...and we're com ing to fry your ass !" In most cases (unless they
are susp icious and are pulling a sting) they won 't pull an ANI - you'll just get an error messages, instead. We will provide an
example experience with a VMB number made up of variables (we're not giving out the numbe rs to any systems we know) .
1. We dial the number: Enter : 1-800 -XXX-XXXX
2. We hear some type of message. It may present options or it may simply be a record ing telling us to leave a message or
to enter a VMB number.
3. Now we usually have to hit a button like star or pound-but this is not always the case . Enter : (pound or' star -# or .)
"Note - along the way you will most likely be presented options and instructions"
4. We enter the number of the box we want to A) leave a message on, B) access . These number are usually three or four
digits long . Enter: XXX
5. Here is where the fun begins . Usually , here is where we would just leave a message for a person but instead we will do
something else. Just do the same as above but when you hear the recorded message, enter : start") or pound (#) or whatever.
You most likely will NOT be prompted during the recorded message about whether to hit star , pound or another button , but it
is usually star or pound . Then it will ask you for your password. You then type what you believe the password is and then hit
star (or whatever it tell you to hit). It will inform you if you guessed correctly or if you did not guess correctly. If you did
correctly enter in the password , then you will be able to access all the normal capabil ities of the VMB .
6. From here on you will able to change the password , mod ify the outgoing message, etc .
Password Gues sing: To access a VMB you will need the password. There are a few bas ic techniques but nothing sure-fire .
Sometimes the passwor d will be a simple number like 1000, 2000 , etc. Or it m,ay be the same as the box number. We
suggest that you find a pattern on the VMB system to what the passwords are-maybe they all are three dig its and begin with
5, etc. Of course if you find yourself with an overwhelm ing amo unt of time, you can always resort to the good 01' brute force
method.
A few useful things we have found to do with VMB systems are: You can give a voice number that you can be reached at to
complete strangers. You can be cooler than all your lame friends at school . "Note: We definitely DO NOT recommend giving
your VMB # out to every punk you see on the street (includ ing most of your classmates!)." This is for more than one reason.
You might get a box flooded with prank messages left by some loser who had the time to flame your newly acqu ired mail box.
Or it may be flooded by legit messages from people who want to reach you cause yer so cool . Also, once your VMB #
gets out, it will spread like wildfire! You want to impress a girl and give it to a few people at the mall. Next thing you know ,
your snotty little brother knows ! Your whole school knows ! Elvis knows , your mama and pops know, Connie Chung on the
fuckin ' 6 O'Clock news knows and most importantly, the authorities know. Ma Bell , the police, your called principal and a
number of other power figures now look on you in a different light. This is why we say that the worst mistake a VMB hacker
makes is doing a little "spreading around " a.k.a. bragg ing a.k.a. "screwing of oneself." Also , everyone will want you to hack
them up a spiffy new VMB . You get the point.
Another use is setting up little "cheap" VMB services . Or if you have some type of small business , you can make it look all
professional (which we know it's not) by having a VMB . We don 't recommend th is for any real business you might have
because we doubt it will make you look very professional if it get's out that the VMB you were using was a hacked one . It's
more life if you feel like deal ing red boxes to the community or are selling some other type of illicit service . Or have a fun mail
order system!
There are too many reasons to describe, but we hope that you will be creative enough to come up with them . Th is is intended
only as an introduction and basic summary of the wonderful world of VMB hacking . If your curiosity pulls you further , we
suggest soaking up more specific inform ation on different specif ics. Suggested reading is: Phrack , Volume 2, Issue 11, File
4-Hacking Voice Mail Systems by Black Knight. This is available at the ftp site ftp .uu.neVdoclliterary/obilPhracks
We hope that for all the peo ple not familiar with VMB hacking this has served as an easy to understand intro into the basic
techniques of VMB hacking . And for all you seasoned phreaks and hackers out there , this review of old news ha s perhaps
provi ded new insight on old material. And if not, maybe it has been a fun read . HAPPY HAX!!!I-Lunatic Logic & D-CRyPT
The staff here at Blacklistedl 411 would like to add a small bit of Info to this, while we have th e chance. Of course
thi s Is old news and such, we still have some comments for those who never knew about this or maybe never
bothered wi th it Commo n passwords used on VMB systems are repeat numbers such as: 1111,2222,3333,4444,
etc.. Consecutive numbe rs such as: 1234, 2345, 3456, 4567, etc. Blrthdates (In MMOOYYform) such as: 010178,
030669, 122573, etc. We must mentio n that we have noted VMB "passwords" to be of any length from 4-16 digits
long, although 4 and 6 dig it passwords tend to be the most popular.

PONER Metel1!
Slowly, it turns ..Slowly, your wallet empties!
Gee, what a concept !! If any of you are like the 411 staff, you know what it's like having HUGE electric bills
at the end of the month!
Why , just last month, we
had an enormous bill to
choke on! Somewhere to
the tune of $1100. Of
course, that was due to a
few unpaid months and
suc h. (hahaha) But,
usually the monthly cut
for the electric company
(SCE) ends up
somewhere in the
neighborhood of $200 or
so. I suppose it's not that
much, really ...But, for
one year of service at this
rate, we're looking at a
total of nearly $24 00.
With that kind of money,
we could do some pretty
cool things other than watching our money dwindle away into air, seemingly. Some people are so tired of
paying for what we're so used to paying for, that they've resorted to theft of electricity - theft of utility service.
Of course , the fines and threats for doing such a horrible thing (haha) are large and scary, but people still do
it.. Why? Well, quite frankly, because it's EASY and they CAN !! - and, on top of that, they can do it with little
worry of ever getting in trouble for it. It is the utilities responsibility to PROVE that the subscriber has willfully
engaged in theft of their service - wh ich is very difficult to prove, even if there is a bogus job done on the power
..meter, etc.. hell, not even some fingerp rints would be enough to incriminate the subscriber. Funny, huh? Now,
we're not saying for any of you to go out and try to steal anything, but we ARE saying that people do it on a
daily basis and never feel any repercuss ions in doing so. How they do they do it? There are many ways to
steal electricity. First, the only way the power compan ies can tell how much electricity any given subscr iber
has used is by that little power meter located right outside of the subscribers residence (or place of business).
So, if the power meter is tweaked or bypassed , etc...it's hard to tell that anything is going on. It's nothing like
stealing phone service . There's no way the office can really pinpoint how much YOU are using from the
confines of their office - they have to send someone out to your place to read the meter and get the info back
to the office as soon as possible. Some of these meters have evolved into some nice pieces of work, actually.
Some of them are electronic and the meter reader dude simply passes a little wand (more or less) over it and
the info is passed to his little storage device instantaneously. Pretty cool. We don't have the pictures ready
at the moment, so'we cannot show you the inside of the meter, pointing out each piece and what it does and
how you can use that info to your advantage . So, we will give you a little info about them and you can use
that as you please. Bypassing a meter can be done two ways ....The first way would be done by hooking up
your electr ical load to a point on the incoming line BEFORE it reaches the meter, as if you hook it up after the
meter, you 've accomplished no feat of theft. Be careful with this one...that electricity is pretty juicy and it's just
waiting to fry someone not observ ing proper safety precautions. BE CAREFUL. Anyhow, the next method of
bypassing is done by altering the meter itself. On some of the meters, there's a "switch" that essentially turns
the meter OFF, thereby allowing you to bypass it completely. This "switch" is nothing more than a small piece
of metal located on the backside (where the terminals are located) of the meter and it's held in place with two
screws. Shut the circuit breaker OFF, remove the meter, locate the "switch", loosen the screws , slide the
metal piece so it is NOT touch both screws , then tighten the screws again, replace the meter and switch the
circuit breaker back on. Voila ! The meter is now off and no electricity consumption will be recorded by the
metering device. The way the meter works is very simple. The switch mentioned is what controls power to
the "stationary coil" (dunno what to call it, precisely) . This coil is always on and provides a stable magnetic
field for the "spinning platform". Now, the two input terminals (the TOP terminals on the backside) make their
way into the metering device through very thick metal bars...these bars are then turned a couple of times
underneath the "spinning platform", making a coil, in essence, that opposes the stationary coil. This is the coil
which increases/decreases it's magnetic field in relation to the energy usage. The more juice you pull through
it, the larger the magnetic field, the faster the platform spins around ....the more money you spend! Cut off the
top stationary coil, the meter is dead and will not register ANY energy consumption, at all. In the next issue,
we'll talk about some interesting theft ideas we've seen and how they are used. It should be fun.

There is a heated battle being waged between the Nationa l Security Agency (NSA) and privacy rights agencies
and experts , such as the Electron ic Front ier Foundat ion (EFF ), over a data encrypt ion device known as the Clipper Chip. The
Clipper Chip is a NSA-developed data encrypt ion chip that would grant it's users secure on-line and telephone transmissi ons.
The Clipper is spec ial in that it has a back door built into it that would allow law enforcement agencies to monitor any
transm issions made using it's encrypt ion scheme . After obtaining the two halves of the key to that particular chip held by
governme nt escrow agenc ies, any law enforcement agent wou ld be able to intercept any transm ission over telephone lines
without the knowledge of the individual mak ing that transm ission (Barlow , 44).
Stewart Baker , Chief Counsel for the NSA, wrote the article "Don't Worry , Be Happy" in an attempt to defend the
NSA's position against it's critics . In the only public article written by the NSA, Baker claims that by building a back-door into .
every data encrypt ion device, the government will be able to thwart criminals such as child pornog raphers , drug traffickers,
and terror ists. He claims that law enforcement agenc ies would only use the Clipper to monitor suspected felons , and it would
never be used on innocent civilians. Mr. Baker fears the day when "anyone who buys an US$80 phone gets an 'encrypt'
button that interoperates with everyone else's ... In such a world, every criminal will gain a guaranteed refuge from the police '
without lifting a finger " (Baker , p132) .
John Perry Barlow, the vice-president of the EFF, reports in his article "Jackboots on the Infobahn" thatthere is
governmen t has yet to prove a rea listic need to listen in on our encryption , either now or in the future . He fears that instead
of being a security measure , as the NSA contends , the back-door would become a mean s for our government to obtain "Big
Brother" powers (47).
The NSA's logic in promoting the Clipper is "How can anyone expect the standard -setting arms of government
to use their power to destroy the capab ilities of law enforcement - especially at a time when the threat of crime and terror
seems to be rising dra matically?" (Baker, p132). In an attempt to prove his point, Baker pointed to the case of a computer-
using pedophi le, who the police suspected of using a widely ava ilable encrypt ion program to record his contacts with
numerous young boys that he met through compu ter bulletin boards (100). Barlow adds that the NSA also believes that the
Clipper would allow the US to intercept terrorist plots that they feel "are more likely to ripen to hideous fruition behind a shield
of encryption" (46).
Barlow believes that anybody smart enough to steal or build a nuclear weapon , or another such device that
would be of any major significance, wou ld also be smart enough to use an uncompromised encryption scheme or other means
to communicate, rather than use Clipper (46). He also points out that "the last people who popped a hooter in the World Trade
Center were able to get it there without using any cryptography and while under FBI surveillance" (Barlow 46). Barlow
suggested that old-fash ioned investigative techniques wou ld be more useful in preventing the next such terror ist act, rather
than compromise our privacy .
Baker says that there are only two reliable methods currently available to catch crime bosses ; one is to "turn"
one of the people in their organ ization, and the other is to
wiretap (100). He claims that turning an underl ing isn't as
effec tive as a wiretap , and the evidence obta ined through
them is not always usable in court, whereas a wiretap records Your Guide to Privacy
the crime bosses themse lves comm itting the crimes.
In writing his article , Barlow inte rv iewed a

There's always something new going on around us -
even at the gas stat ion down the street. We 've
noticed these nifty little satellite links at various gas
stations throughout our area and we've pondered the
thought of exactly WHAT they are....First, we
considered a statement we read somewhere else that
went something like this: "the dishes you see are, in
all probability, receivers for whatever music they wind
up playing for the enjoyment of their customers."
Now, this statement was in reference to "satellite
dishes " found atop food stores in the New Jersey
area ...Naw, that's not it. Then we cons idered the
possibility of ATM information process ing....nope ..
that's not it, either!.. Come to find out, after asking a
few gas station employees, it has someth ing to do
with billing, but nothing to do with ATM purchases , etc.
Of course, these people only work there, so what do
they know, right? Well , the story goes on to say that
each time a sale is made (or, at the end of the day, all the
sales are gathered up -this is the only point at which the
employees of the various stat ions differ in stor ies)
..anyhow , this is when the information of the sale is
transm itted to a satell ite and then "bounced" back to
some central point for processing. So, this does have
someth ing to do with billing , but all of the employees
became a little uneasy with the mention of credit card
purchases, etc. So, we do not have the entire truth, we
believe. Pictured about is the "link" in it's entirety. They
all pretty much look exactly like this one - we know this
one...we've had to sort through all of the pictures. The
picture to the right is a close up of the feed horn
assembly. Why'd we put it in here? Why the hell not!
We figured SOMEONE might want to take a closer look at this thing! If any reader of ours happens to work
for the manufacturer of this information system or works for a gas station - AND has a clue about this
technology, why not drop us a note and tell us what we're missing out on here. Thanks. Each time a trip is
taken to a local gas station or some nearby store, there's always some new technical wonder to snoop around
into. Whether it be a satellite dish, a new vending machine that needs a debit card to function, a payphone
that accepts credit cards, a gas pump with a stripe reader built in - one thing remains constant. We WANT
to know how the damn thing works and what limits we can push it to. Right? Speaking of gas station pumps
with credit card stripe readers. They're so abundant in southern California, that it's something to consider.
Slide your credit card in, wait a few seconds, the display reads, "PUMP GASOLINE " or "PUMP FUEL"..you
get the idea. You pump 15 gallons in your heap on 4 wheels , drive off - it's done. It doesn't matter if you used
your credit card, a card you borrowed from a friend, your wifes card, your moms card, hell..even a card you
found laying on the asphalt one day while walking through a supermarket parking lot! You know why this is
so easy to get away with? The damn gas pumps fitted with the credit card payment acceptance hardware DO
NOT ASK FOR A P.I.N.!!! What a mistake! If your card get's stolen, it's most likely that one of the first places
the thief will attempt to hit will be a gas station - to fill 'er up!! It's so easy to get away with. The thief doesn't
have to deal with a cashier, and it's tempting to get some free gas, you know ! It's time to burst that bubble for
a few people, though. There have been reports of ' .
MANY gas stations arming the ir pumps with
security cameras somewhere close. It's easy to
believe with all these pinhole cameras available
for nearly nothing at all. So, it's not too safe for
just everyone now that some of the gasoline big
boys have caught on to the sche mester credit
card thieves ' plan to systemat ically steal all of
their precious fuel...oh yeah!..right.. So, next time
you find that brand new shiny credit card laying at
your feeL .pick it up! However , if you consider
using it, remember that big brother gas man might
be watching YOU! Hint: it's hard to see in the dark

ZIP CODEUSE IN O
V KESFED RALJURISDICTION
E
Th is is Vol. I, No.6 of THE PATRIOT . Th is article goes into the reasons why zip code use invokes federal jurisdiction. Zip
Code use is vo luntary . You should also know that the Postal service cannot discriminate against the non-use of the ZIP Code .
The government tells you that use of the zip code speeds the ma il but that is not the real reason . By using zip-codes you are
stating that you are a subject of Congress and a citizen of the Distr ict of Columbia who is resident in one of the several States
and put yourself in the federal zone . This article encourages you to become a State Citizen who is not within the purview of
the MUNICIPAL LAWS of the Distr ict of Columb ia. If you are using a ZIP code , you are in effect saying openly and notori ously
that you do not live in the State of Californ ia, but, instead are a res ident in the Californ ia area of the Distr ict of Columbia (a
federal district) . Get this very valuable one page document. $1.00 [ ).
EXPlANATION OF ZIP CODEADDRESS PURPOSE
This article gives loads of legal citations showing the true predatory reason the federal government wants people to use zip-
codes . Zip Code addresses are for the corporate United States and its agents . The federal government has as much taxing
and regula tory power as it does because almost everyone in the 50 states are using zip code addresses which places all users
into federal districts . If mass ive numbe rs of people stop using zip codes , we can shrink the power of the federal government.

AOL 'extends on-line information to pagers
Vienna, Va. - America On-line has added a new service to ijs rapidly growing on-line service system . According to sources, AOL will transmit news,
electronic mail, and other on-line information to customers to broaden the reach and appeal of the on-line industry . The Vienna, Va based company
said that subscribers wijh alphanumeric pagers can receive some of the same fare over their pagers that are received through modem equipped
personal computers. The service would link users personal E-mail box to their pagers allowing mail to be instantly transmitted regardless cif location.
Other services available include news and stock quotes, appealing to financial service people who are frequentl y out of the office. America On-line
signed agreements wij h the paging division of AT&T corp, and the paging provider MobileMedia, to deliver the service America On-line would
be the first of the three major on-line services to offer such service. The companY'lWh has over 2 million subscri bers, competes with Compuserve and

Prodigy.
Waiting for a ray Phone
China's tetedensity, the average number of phones per 100 people, was a mere 3.2 phones in 1994. Combine that low number of phones, with an
economy thats expected to grow 11-14% annually , and you have a recipe for a major telecommunications market. Beijing and Shanghai, two of China's
most populated cnles rated at 18 and 15.7 phones per 100 people respectively. China's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications plans to increase
their teledensity 1% each year through the end of the decade.
Comcast to offer link to internet
Comcast Corp. is about to offer a new means of accessing the intemet. The new system connects you not by phone line, but over your cable TV
hookup, at speeds of 50 to several hundred times faster than commonly used phone modems. The Philadelphi a based cable company said that the
new system would be b u i ~ and tested in Lower Merion, Philadelphia and Willow Grove, systems totalling 214,000 subscribers. Over the next year, 300
families will test the service that Comcast hopes to offer nationally to it's more than 3 million subscribers , late next year. Previously, on-line services
have only been available over phone lines, but this system is a move to end this monopoly, and stiffen competrtion between cable and telephone
companies. Comcast has also made plans to offer standard dial up phone service over ijs cable systems as well. A~hough other cable systems have
been testing cable modems, using the same coaxial cable that deliver TV programs , Comcast is the first to use its own servers to create on-line services
localized to different cable territories. Comcast executives said new services would become possible as they rebuild their networks wijh fiber-optics
nodes, each consisting of 200 to 1000 homes linked via coaxial cable, allowing computer and TV service to be run slmuhaneously. Comcast is
considering pricing high speed on-line access at $5 to $10 per month.
Small satellite dish systems a grow ing business..
The numbers have been counted, and for a new generation of satellite TV, the news is good. In January , Hughes' Direct TV division and partner
USSB announced that since their small dish satellrte services went national in October, they have signed up 350,000 subscribers, and are adding
100,000 new customers a month, so by the time you read this, they should have around 950,000 subscribers . The manufacturer of the small dish
satellrte systems, Thomson Consumer Electronics produced over 590,000 units by the end on 1994, and is adding manufacturing lines to keep up with
demand. It takes as much as two months for finished DSS unrts to reach retailer shelves that account for the difference between finished units and
subscribers, company officials said. Representatives from all three companies traveled to the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas for a progress
report. "During the holiday season, consumer demand was extremely strong, and our retail surveys indicate that most dealers had a complete sellout"
said Jim Meyer, a Thomson senior vice president. Despite lts fast growth , satellite TV is a drop in the bucket compared to the nations 58 million cable
households, but ij is a growing market. DirecTv , USSB, and Thomson expect to add up to 1.5 million new subscribers in 1995, and 2 million in 1996,
and later this year are planning to launch a third satellite bringing the total available channels to nearly 200. The direct broadcast industry finished 1994
wijh 600,000 subscribers. Of those, 250,000 are customers of Primestar, a 4 year old company owned by a consortium of cable operators, using a
different frequency and a slightly larger dish. Primestar said ij tripled subscriptions when in July of 1994, ij switc hed from an analog system , to one that
transmits ijs signals in digijal form. During the switchover, Primestar kicked off an ad campaign hoping to take some of the fire out or DSS's national
rollout. Primestar plans to 80 channels this year, and quadruple lts subscribers to 1 million.
ISDN Rates?
Washington - Pressure by industry and gove mm ent groups is forcing the Federal Communications Commis sion to back down from a disputed ruling
that could massively increase ISDN telephone charges to triple or even 24 times current rates. The ruling would require telephone companies to charge
for ISDN lines based on the number of channels in the ISDN lines. Since most users of ISDN service have the BRI(Basic Rate Interface), which has 3
channels, the FCC decision would mean a tripling of current ISDN rates. Some ISDN lines for high volume users have as many as 24 channels .
Sources say that the teleconferencing and interact ive imaging systems would be hardest M by this ruling, crippling new videoconferencing , intemet
providers, and any other data communication system requiring the higher bandwidth of ISDN. That in tum could affect burgeoning sales of ISDN chips,
video compression chips, and high speed relay chips that go into computer and communications equipment. This ruling could also affect emerging ISDN
technology developed by a desktop networking venture of IBM, Chipcom Corp., and L.M. Ericson. They are developing an ISDN link to a computer
networking standard known as ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), a network ing topology that is more efficient than current networking standards
such as Ethemet for transferring realtime audio and video. The US Commerce Department has entered the fray, telling the FCC that their ruling would
severely impact new computer services "just as the market for them is poised to take off" said Assistant Commerce Secretary Larry Irving. "Consumers,
businesses, and educators are using ISDN for high speed Intemet access, telecommmuting , videoconferenc ing, and PC based collaboration", he stated
that the impact or higher ISDN rates was too great to be addressed by the FCC Common Carrier Bureau as part of a simple tariff filing. "This raises
policy issues which would be best addressed in the context of a rulemaking process, not in a tariff review process". This feeling was echoed by Santa
Clara based Intel Corp., stating that the success of desktop PC videoconferenc ing is dependent on low cost ISDN service.

UFOThoughts
UFO's - Propulsion Systems
by: Brian Vanderkolk
Back when the concepts of flying began, it turned out to be someth ing called the Bernoulli Effect that kept the primitive gliders
in the air. Basically, the shape of an airplanes wing, the airfoil , cause s the air over the top of the wing to take a longer path
than that under the wing In order for the air to do this, it must travel faster over the top. Because the air moves faster, the
pressure drops. This is Bernoulli's Theorem. Because the air pressure above the wing is greater than that under the wing, a
relative vacuum develops that literally sucks at the wing creating lift. Airplanes are held in the air by a vacuum force over the
wing, not by pressure under the wing as many think.
But flying began with gliders. The problem was how to keep the aircraft mov ing through the air. Propulsion. The wr ight
brot hers had an elegant solution. They simply took two short wings , mounted them on a shaft , and rotated the who le
structure . The prope ller is born. But the propeller has it's limitations. No propeller driven aircraft has ever exceeded the
sound barrier. The Air Force had exper imented with a variant of the F-84 Thunderjet by installing a 6000 hp Allison piston
engine with a three blade prope ller. The aircraft, designated F84-H, was meant to become the first superson ic propeller
driven aircraft, but only achieved a speed of 670 MPH, not supersonic, yet still claiming the speed record for prope ller driven
planes . The plane also had another claim to fame. It is the noisiest aircraft ever built. Although the plane was not supersonic,
the tips of the propellers exceeded Mach 1 even while taxiing, creating hundreds or even thousands of small sonic booms
every minute.
The next large advancement in aircraft propulsion came with from Nazi Germany in the form of the jet engine, although Hitler
did not realize the advant age of the design in time to win the war. The jet has undergone many variations and improvements ,
including turbo-jets, turbo-fans, afterburners, and hybrid ram-jets. Jet power brought practical aircraft into the supersonic age.
The fastest acknowledged aircraft is the United States Air Force's SR-71 Blackbird with an absolute world speed record of
2,193.17 MPH at a record altitude of 85,069 feet, attained on July 28, 1976. Actual performa nce of this aircraft is still class ified
even though it has been dropped from service.
Even though one thinks of jets and superson ic ability as going hand-in-hand , it was the rocket powered Bell XS-1 piloted by
Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947 that was the first aircraft to safely exceed the sound barrier. The XS-1, or more popularly
the X-1, was fueled by super cooled liquid oxygen and diluted ethyl alcohol, provid ing 6000 pounds of thrust. This flight took
the plane to Mach 1.06 for 20.5 seconds at an altitude of 45,000 feet, about twice the time the first Wright Flyer was in the air
on it's maiden flight. Mach 2 was exceeded by Scott Crossf ield in the Douglas 0-5 58-2 Skyrocket in Novemb er 1953, climb ing
to an altitude of 83,000 feet and diving for the speed run to 62,000 feet. The fastest rocket plane, the North Amer ican X-15
was designed to fly in excess of six times the speed of sound at over 250,000 feet altitude, nearly 50 miles. This plane literally
flew into space and back. The XLR-99 engine on the X-15 was the first throttleab le rocket engine, the pilot being able to
contro l thrust from 50% to 100% of the 57,000 pound thrust from the eng ine. The X-15 was fueled by liquid oxygen,
anhydrous ammon ia, and hydrogen perox ide. The fastest the X-15 ever flew was Mach 6.7 (4534 MPH) on October 3,1 967,
piloted by MAJ. William J. "Pete" Knight , in a modified X-15 designated X-15A-2.
The Space Shultle , weigh ing in at more the 4 million pounds total weight, reaches orbit with the aid of two solid rocket
boosters each providing 2 million pounds of thrust and three main engines on the shuttle itself providing an additional 1.5
million pounds of thrust. The main engines are fueled by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen . The shultle orb its at an altitude
of 380 to 500 miles depend ing on the mission, at a speed in excess of 27,000 MPH .
This should give you some idea of the enormous amount of energy and engineering it takes to propel man into space . Yet
all this is done through brute force , utilizing Isaac Newtons third law of motion, "for every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction." How on earth , or elsewhere , for that malter , are we ever going to travel the stars with reasonable ease? Let us
disregard the need to carry massiv e amounts of fuel for a moment , and let's assume we have a rocket so powerful it can
accelerate us to the speed of light. . It would still take us 3.8 years to reach the nearest star, Proxima Centaur i. Sirius , the
brightest star is the night sky, is 8.76 light years away. The north star, Polaris, is 1,254 and the middle star in Orions belt,
Alnilam, is 2,038 light years away. As you can see, even at the speed of light, it is nearly impossible to explore the universe .
But what about exotic propulsion systems? Is warp drive possible? Is there such a thing as anti-gravity ? Practica l science
tells us no. Yet there is evidence that such exotic propuls ions system s are at least theoret ically possible, if not pract ical in the
future . There is even evidence that advanced research groups in the worlds top secret military development cente rs may be
exper imenting with working models of such devices.
Einstein gave us the theory of relat ivity, which gave the world concepts such as the time-space continuum and the forth-
dimensional curving of this cont inuum through gravitational influences. Relativity theory has been supplanted by quantum
theory, giving us even more bizarre concepts about our universe. The more mankind learn s about his surroundings, the more
he learns how much more there is to learn. Could there be some forces in nature that we have yet to discover? Have yet to
realize them for what they really are? Could the answer be right under our noses? It's very poss ible.
Every electronics student knows that if you pass an electric current through a wire, a magnetic field is created around that
wire. A powerful magnetic field can be made by shaping the wire in a coil. Very powerful electromagnets are used in junk
yards on cranes to pick up whole cars. By alternating the electric current an oscillating magnetic field arises. This is basically
an electro magnetic wave. Different freque ncies of EM waves manifest themselve s as radio waves, microw aves, infrared,
visible light, ultrav iolet, x-rays, gamma rays, and on to the mysterious cosmic rays coming from space . It is obvious that
electricity and magnet ism are related in a funda mental way. Is it possible that either of these is related to gravity?

The High Seas of the Arcade, or piracy over the eons 0
by Sir Harry Wozniak ~
Piracy is a historical fact of life, and the field of arcade games and pinball machine s is no except ion. In fact, one of the most famous game compan ies
today started in an atl empt to bootleg a popular game during the 30's! Gottlie b had some true inspired success with pinball, with new upstart compa nies
like Genco & Mills coming out with Iheir own variations. Ray Moloney started manufacturing his own pinball machine called Ballyhoo, which was named
after a popular satirical magazine during that time , around 1931. from the succes s of Ballyhoo was bom the name of his company , Bally .
A lot of cross-pollination and similar layouts existed . Note the picture of the two pinballs mach ines , Moon Shot & Tropic Isle. Note how, except for the
artwork , the game layout is identical. Pinball layouts tended to be symmetrical and fairty limited in scope. Little by little, more intriguing layouts came
into existence to the point where a symmetrical layout loday does not exist. Some relli val pinballs harken back to the single level shoote r's paradise.
The majority of pinballs tod ay have way too much in the way of ramps and hidden passage ways .
Pinball layouts were generally
copied back and forth from
estab lished well known
com panies . Tha t wa s because
manufacturing a pinball mach ine
took a very well capitalized
assembl y line to turn out the
compl ex assemblies required for
the game. The picture show s
cop ying from one company to
another , both well known pinball
manufacturers.
Video piracy goes way back to the
very beginning , and has been
much more of a problem over the
years. when Pong was huge in the
arcade scene, there were scores of
Pong clones from diffe rent
manufacturers . II was impossible
to be able to tell the bootleg
version from an original, as Pong
had very little in the way of
distinguishing characteristics for
the game .
Microp rocessors allowe d for
greater depth and flexibility in
.. " arcade games. The first monster
The picture (aobve, below) shows the Orca CPU encryption technique. The small microprocessor game hit was
module on the left shows the module without the potting compound. A th in wire Space Invaders , wh ich used the
is wrapped around the circuit board, connected to the battery (underside right Intel 8080 microproces sor. In no
of the board). If the wire breaks, all the encryption data is lost. short time, pirates began to chip
around the original program and introduce bootleg versions , some with different graph ics or game rules . One such example would be Space Stranger,
which you shot downwards into a water -filled deep (flip the picture and adjust the graph ics tables to suit). No matter what the variation, it was not a new
game based on the Space Invaders gameplay . II was the same program , slightly modified to appear different.
Cross -licensing could also create a fun and wonderfu l headache in trying to determ ine what is actually a bootleg and what is not. For example , Sega's
Space Firebird game was actually licensed from Nintendo , who also marketed Space Firebird in their own cabinets . One of THE most famous Nintendo
games to ever appear , Donkey Kong , was not even created by Nintendo , but by a small company called Falcon, who licensed Nintendo to sell the game
outside of Japan . Originally , the •
game was known as Crazy Kong .
There were bootlegs of Crazy Kong ,
but the only real Crazy Kongs were
those with the Falcon symbo l, which
was the Falcon bird above the cage.
Techn ically , the importing of the
Falcon boards into the USA makes
them parallel PCBs, which is still an
iffy subject in the game wortd today.
Courts of law have ruled back and
forth on the legality of parallel pcbs.
As a rule, the real bootleg pcb is of
lower qual ity construct ion than the
original PCB. II is usually fairty easy
to tell a bootleg from the original .
Some bootlegs are so close in
design , that it is VERY hard to tell the
difference . One company called
Orca actually made BETIER quality
PCBs than the ones they pirated
from ! The Orca Crazy Kong was a
much smaller board than the Falcon This shows the legal and 2 pirated versions of Street Fighter 2. e original
or Nintendo pcb (the Nintendo PCB board is on the left, with two different bootleg types on the right. If you
was 'huge and had a very bizarre playa Street Fighter 2 with strange moves or gtitches In the program, it will

. board system with a clean layout. Orca also came out with their own original games , some of which used THE most vicious anti-piracy dellice known
in the game business (more on that later) . Some famous Orca games were River Patrol , The Bounty , Springer, Changes , Hoccer & Espial (sort of a

name of Kyugo , best known for Flashgal
and Airwolf.
Sometimes, other legal companies can also
start by bootlegging. Toa Plan, for example,
has been bootlegging for a while. I have
seen a Toa Plan FroggeI' bootleg . Fair
qualrty. To their credrt, Toa Plan cleaned up
their act and started making their own
games which were very famous , such as
Sky Shark , Twin Cobra , Outzone , &
Knuck le Bash . They went bankrupt last
year.
Th e boa rds shown (above, below) are of the Donkey Kong .Jr. arcade game. The
regula r board is on the right, and the bootleg PCB is on the left .
The most vicious anti-piracy system was used by Orca, who had plenty of experience to work with. Even today, their system is uncrackable, which
means that due to it's nature, time is running out for certain Orca games using this system . Basically, the CPU mounted on a small PCB With a battery
RAM which holds encryption data . The battery power is run through a wire wrapped a couple of times around this custom PCB, and then the whole
assembly is potted tight. Any attempt to break into the potting can cause pieces to shatter , which cuts the power wire, erasmq the encryption data. No
one has been able to re-engineer this system successfully as of yet. As a resun, certain Orca games such as Springer, M a fl ~ e Boy & the Bounty &
Moguchan are worth more and more, if they are in working shape.
Potting CPUs is practiced by other companies, but Orca made rt into a high art. Sega used a neater package replacing their 68 ,,,, r j watch batteries
for the data, Moonwalker & Shinobi & A~ered Beast used this approach, as did Enduro Racer & Space Harrier. Sometimes, the battery encryption RAM
can be mounted onboard along with the battery , as in the case of Mrtchell's game Buster Bros. Naturally, any attempt to replace t" e encryption RAM
resulted in the game no longer being operational.
A rather interesting method of anti-piracy and storage came when Konarru announced a game system which used bubble memory to store the game
program. (bubble memory is an interesting technology which is in very little use today which consists of magnetic bubbles being passed along a series
of magnetic forms on a chip substrate by means of a rotation magnetic field. the memory was read in serial fashion, and proved to be 1 slow and
00
unworkable for videogame situations ,
Capcom thought they had the last worn when they invested 5 million + in the design of the CPS system. Ttus 3 board integrated system placed all of the
graphics systems into a single chip, wrth another giant chip for game encryption, and battery encryption. Capcom used this system for their most
famous hrt game, Street Fighter 2, The game proved to be so popular that it eventually got pirated and in fact, today , the number of bootlegged PCBs
of any SF2 title exceeds that of the original game, This caused Capcom to basically abandon the CPS system in favor of their System II, It will
eventually be cracked, if tt's not already.
Bootleggers used hi tech equipment to probe the chip secrets They resort to CI acking the tops form chips and copying the chip die nselt, They can
then contract a reputable chip manuf acturer to turn out the chips for themselves . (I have seen such an example of a bootleg chip with a TI signature on
the mask, The pirate was readily tracked by the batch identification) .
This brings up an interesting aside into the home market where Nintendo is suing Samsung for bootleg donkey Kong Country chips, IMHO, Samsung
was merely given the chip die and told to run rt off for a certain customer. They can claim trade secrets proprietary as a cover, but eventually, all will get
their just due,

of you who are really gung-ho, here are some typical pinouts
for these chips :
Ok, now for the most important part , the ESN and it's chip .
ESNs are stored on small chips in the phone the same way the Ok, so now you know what makes a cell phone unique , and
NAM is. The problem with ESN chips is that they are usally how to change that uniqueness so it's not so unique , so-to-

removing the power source , unsoldering the old ch ip , and and MIN pair so you can reprogram a phone to look like
oldering in a new one with a new ESN is almost always all someone elses? Well , it's a little easier said than done .
that is needed to reprogram the phone . The ESN chip can be Mainly because of the equipment required . But, if you have
read with a EPROM/PROM programmer, wh ich can often be the dedicat ion, knowledge, and skills, it can be done . Using

YOU AND THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (UCC)
By Robert Cohen
The United States of Amenca IS made up of two distinct leqal systems. One IS the common law and the other IS the Kings
Law. The Kings law has its source in the Constitution for the united States of Amer ica in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 where
Congress has the power of exclusive legislation whatsoever but this area is limited to Washin gton , D.C. and five other
territories which are Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands . Guam and American Samoa. U.S. possess ions,
and enclaves are within the sovere ign states and these areas were ceded to the federal government by the states. These are
the areas where the United States is King, this is also where the Uniform Commerc ial Code operates . In the fifty sovereign
states, We the People and our Poster ity are the sovereignty . All 14th amendment U.S. citizens are also subject to the Uniform
Commerc ial Code wherever they are.
In the common law, contracts must be entered into consciously , with understanding and knowledge of alternatives and
voluntarily to be valid. Under the Uniform Commercial Code there are also implied contracts which are also binding on U.S.
citizens or residents . To be a 14th amendment citizen or person is to bind oneself to all manner of implied contracts . The UCC
is also based on presumpt ive law and a right is considered waived if not explicitly reserved . The Uniform Commercial Code is
presumed to supplant the common law unless the common law is explicitly reserved when signing contracts. The monetary
unit of the Uniform Commercial Code is the federal reserve note or unit (FRUs) . Transactions entered into with FRUs are also
UCC transactions . Things paid for with FRUs are debts discharged with limited liability and bring one within the jurisd iction of
the Uniform Commerc ial Code unless the common law is reserved in writing.
The Uniform Commercial Code supplants the common law unless the remedy and recourse is exercised when entering
any agreement with your signature . The Uniform Commerc ial Code remedy to the common law is UCC 1-207 which says "A
party who with explicit reservat ion of rights performs or promises performance or assents to performance in a manner
demanded or offered by the other party does not thereby prejudice the rights reserved . Such words as 'without prejud ice',
'under protest' or the like are sufficient " The Uniform Commercial Code recourse to the common law is UCC 1-103 .6 which
says 'T he Code is complimentary to the Common Law, wh ich remains in force , excep t where displaced by the code. A statute
should be construed in harmony with the Common Law unless there is a clear legislative intent to abrogate the Common
Law...THE CODE CANNOT BE READ TO PRECLUDE [PREVENT OR EXCLUDE} A COMMON LAW ACTION ."
Your drivers license agreement class ifies you as a California resident and it is presumed that you have wa ived your
constitutional right to travel as a sovere ign. It is best for sovereigns to renounce their drivers license and use another form of
positive identification and I will have more information on that in future issues. If you want to reser ve your rights under the
common law while traveling and still retain your license add to your license above your signature "All Rights Reserved Without
Prejud ice UCC 1-207 & UCC 1-103.6." This will force the policeman and the traffic court judge to interpret their code violation
consistent with the common law. If the policeman is informed that his charge is invalid unless he has a victim and a verified
complaint which the common law requires, he may think twice about giving you that ticket If he in informed and does not have
a victim and verified complaint and gives you a ticket anyway you can under UCC 3-505 requ ire him to produce the hidden
contract which you signed creat ing a liability and reasonable identification such as his employee identification card, drivers
license, social security number .
Unless you accept payment of your goods and services with gold and silver coin. you have not been lawfull y paid for your
goods and services. You are accept ing a forced benefit when you accept federa l reserve notes or units (FRUs) for your goods
and services . When paid with FRUs you are letting your customers or employers discharge their debt with limited liability. By
accepting this benefit without reserv ing your rights without prejud ice you are placing yourself under the jurisdict ion of the UCC
and its admiralty and legislative courts jur isdiction . To make all your transactions common law transactions write on all checks
you receive and deposit "All Rights Reserved Without Prejudice UCC 1-207 & UCC 1-103.6." On all checks you write above
your signature write "All Rights Reserved Without Prejudice UCC 1-207 & UCC 1-103.6." This reservation says that you do
not recognize the forced benefit of receiving FRUs in place of gold and silver coin as payment for your goods and services .
Under the Uniform Commercial Code an unrefuted claim stands as truth. If you should get a notice from the IRS and you
ignore it and do not refute their claim with in 72 hours , their claim will now stand as truth. A letter from the IRS assumes that
you are a 14th amendment subject to its jurisdiction U.S. citizen and that you earned income within the corpor ate United
States. If you ignore such a letter, you have just agreed that they are right If you are conceived in one of the fifty sovereign
states, you are not the citizen defined in the Interna l Revenue Code. If you are not a federal government employee your
compensation is the fruit of your labor, your property and is not a gain separated from capital and therefore not income and
not wages . If you get a letter from the IRS it probably is the resu lt oi you giving an employer a W4, your social security number
which made your employer think you were a U.S. citizen and your employer sent you and the IRS a W2 reporting your
compensat ion as wages . To the sovereign citizen the income tax is voluntary .
You can refute the IRS claim that you are required to pay an income tax and file a tax return . If you stop filing which is your
right even as a U.S. citizen because of the voluntary nature of the income tax and the IRS misses you and demands you file
or pay a tax, you can within 72 hours refute this claim by 1> deny that you are required to file and do not owe the stated
amount or any other amount 2> I am not the citizen defined in the Internal Revenue Code and a nonresident alien in the
internal revenue code which makes me a non-tax payer. 3> I am not a federal government employee and therefore do not
earn taxable wages . I also did not receive any income from any area connected to the corporate United States . If you are a
citizen of one of the 50 states & work ing in one of the 50 sovereign states, your compensat ion is Eisner v. Macomber (1920)
non-taxable compensation earned without the corporate United States and not subjec t to the income tax. 4> My compensat ion
is earned without the United States and not subject to U.S. Income Tax. 5> Give the IRS 30 days to refute your four claims
and tell them failure to refute these claims within 30 days means their claim is refuted Without Dishonor and to close your
account and failure to respond in a timely manner means my case is closed .
If you should get a bill from any cred itor and it is incorrect or invalid, if you fail to refute it within 72 hours , under the UCC
that bill stands as truth even if in fact it is invalid. If you refute the validity of the bill and give valid reasons with your refutat ion,
you have put the burden of proof on the cred itor to prove its validity. In many cases the cred itor just gives up and you may
never hear from them again. I once got an invalid bill for nine months before I unde rstood the UCC and they threatened to go
to a collection agency. Once I refuted the bill and told them why it was invalid I never heard from them again and the matter
was dropped .

UFO Thoughts
(ContinJed from page 32)
The relatively lillie known scientist Thomas Townsend Brown was certain he had the answer. As a child in the 1900's he was
experimented on his own with electricity and radio . One of the many items he obtained was the newly invented Coolidge X-ray
tube. He thought that a key to space flight might be found in X-rays . He put the tube on a delicate balance looking for any
change in we ight when the device was charged . He did notice that the device tended to move when it was charged or
discharged. Subsequent exper imentation showed that it was not eh X-rays that were providing the force, but the high voltages
needed to charge the device . He eventually made a device he optim istically called the "grav itor", a box about 12 inches by 4
Inches that when charged with about 100,000 volts was shown to lose or gain around 1% of its we ight.
Later, while a student at Denn ison University at Granv ille, Ohio, in 1924, studying electronics under Dr. Paul Alfred Biefeld ,
he was able to postulate the Biefeld-Brown effect as an explanation of what was happening in his Coolidge tube many years
before. Although he served in the Navy and worked for many schools and corporat ions doing various forms of research , his
gravatics was always in the back of his mind . He cont inued to study and experiment. Eventually , in 1953 , Brown
demonstrated in the laboratory a 2 foot diameter disc tethered to follow a 20 foot diameter course . The disc , when charged
to 50 kilovolts at 50 walls moved at approx imately 12 miles per hour. Later , he managed to construct a device 3 feet across
and flew it in a 50 foot diameter course with results so impressive that they were immediately classified by the military
representatives at the demonstration.
The dev ice that Brown wo rked on was essent ially a condenser, known in it's more common and smaller form as the
capacitor. Like the coil , or inductor, prov ides the connection between electr icity and magnetism , does the capac itor provide
the connection between electric ity and gravity? After all, aren't most UFO's reported in the shape of a disc? Even so, in order
to provide enough power for such a device to make a working aircraft possible, the energy required would be enormous . Can
a powerful enough power source be constructed that is small enough and light enough to provide the energy appetite for the
gravity engine and yet still fit on the craft?
What about anti-mailer? Most people know from Einste in's formula E=mc> that mail er and energy are the same and
Interchangeable. The first atom ic bombs converted about 10% of the mass of the fissionable material into energy. Modern
thermonuclear devices are slightly more efficient. But what if you could turn mailer into energy at 100% efficiency? I'm sure
most of us are familia r with the warp drive from Star Trek that utilizes a mailer/anti-mailer core to create energy. The mag ic
of the Enterprises engines is allowed through the use of Dilithium to regulate the reaction. Could mankind build a matter/anti-
mail er energy source? Would it require a regulat ion material?
According to Bob Lazar , such a device is possible, and exists in the UFO's he claims are being studied by the Air Force at
Groom Lake, Nevada . Bob states that the anti-mailer reactor utilizing a heavy element that would be at number 115 on the
periodic chart . The highest known element is currently only 107, although it has been theorized that the elements may
become stable again around elements 113 or 114. According to Lazar, element 115 is bombarded with protons , creating
element 116, wh ich decays back to 115 releas ing anti-mailer. The anti-mailer then reacts with mailer to produce a gravity
wave that is channeled out of the reactor to propel the craft. Bob claims that the reactor is 100% efficient. Whether Bob
Lazars claims are true is still up for grabs, although his story s quite interesting and full of amazing details.
We have gone from simple to more complex propulsion systems . They have even become quite powerful But it is quite
obvious to propel mank ind into the future , we need to come up with a more elegant and less brutish way of moving air and
space craft to our destinations. There may yet be unknown elements with unknown properties , but how can we discover them
with the worlds scientist being narrow minded to the point of having no interest in finding the new discoveries and puttinq down
anyone who attempts to forward such ideas on their own. Or is it that some scientist know the truth but are keeping it all a
secret to protect the sociological order of the world , fearing that mankind is not ready for such insight? Were we ready for the
atomic bomb that they gave us? No, but I think we coped and adapted quite well. Mankind is always ready to take on the
future and I personally find myself anxious at the possibilities.
If you live in a country other that the United States,
we're interested in ANY information you might have about the
telecommunications, cable TV or other utilities in your area!

COMMODORE SOLD
As of now, Escom of Germany is the owner of Commodore. Their bid ($12 million by the end) was accepted over that of
Deli/CEl's , even though it was less. Dell's bid had a condition -- a 30 day period where they could look over what they bought
and decide if they really wanted to keep it. That was unacceptable to the liquidators , so Escom's bid was accepted . Wait a
minute -- Dell? Yes, apparently CEI felt they would have a better chance if they teamed up with Dell. Dell said they didn't
even realize there was going to be an auction for Commodore until shortly before the event. Speculation about Dell claims
they were interested in Commodore 's patents on AutoConfig .
So what's an Escom?
Escom is Germany's number 2 computer manufacturer, and is expand ing rapidly. They have recently purchased a chain of
retail outlets in the UK, and already own many in Germany . They have the money , the manufacturing ability , and the
marketing ability to make the Amiga a success. In a press release and in an interview with Barnard van Tienen (a former vice
president of Commodore) , Escom has stated the follow ing in reference to the Amiga:
V They are looking into the PowerPC for future Amigas , although other options will be considered .
V They will be producing Amiga's with the cooperation of a Chinese manufacturer, and are prom ising Amiga's (A4000 ,
A1200, A600) within 2-3 months .
V An "Amiga on a card" for the IBM is planned .
V They want to use Amiga technology for other products , like "set top" boxes .
V They want to bring back the C64, mainly for the Chinese market.
V They may make "Commodore" brand Macintosh clones.
V Escom wants to get into the american computer market , but figured "just another PC" wouldn 't sell. The Amiga is
basiclya "new" computer that can be re-introduced to the american computer market.
V Escom will re-hire ex Commodore staff, and already employs many of them .
V They've liscensed production and sales of Amiga's to a Chinese company named "Tianjin", which sells 16 bit game
machines in China and holds an 80% market share (hey , if they can sell a few billion CD32's...).
V They will consider liscenses for other companies to produce and sell "clone" Amiga 's.
V Escom will probably buyout Commodore UK.
One wonders why Escom has been so quiet and secretive about all this. They've been in the game for at least 6 months and
nobody knew much about them. I have a theory : Maybe they wanted to avoid getting people's hopes up. Maybe they wanted
to avoid rumors. Maybe they wanted to avoid making or implying any kind of promises that they might not be able to keep .
Commodore UK, before X-Mas last year, implied that they would have Amiga 's back on the market for X-Mas . While not a
promise, because they said "if ' they won the bid, people took it as one. I can understand Escom wanting to avoid all of that
until the deal was done. So now we have to ask the obvious question : is Escom a good thing for the Amiga? Well , if
everyth ing they say is true, they sound pretty good to me. The Amiga is very popular in Germany, at least from what I can tell.
There are a lot of Aminet-FTP sites and Amiga BBS's there, as well as Amiga developers. If nothing else, at least Escom will
be surrounded by Amiga supporters .
Wither eEl?
In a CEI FAX to dealers , they have stated that they will, Escom permit ing, continue to market Amiga's and if possible liscense
Amiga technology to develop "Amiga clones" . They are committed to the Amiga and have many plans in store for us. CEI
waslis a distributer of Commodore products in the US, and at the very least will continue to be so in the future .

A new version of ARexx is being worked on. It's supposed to be much faster and GUI based . Sounds like a SORELY needed
upgrade of one of the most significant Amiga products ever.
There's a nifty little package called "ATAPI". This software driver lets your A600 , A 1200, A4000 , or any Amiga with a bsclAlfa-
Data IDE controller use popular and cheap IBM CD-ROM drives. It is fully compatible with an existing IDE drive. With an
optional additional IDE cable , the driver lets you connect upto four IDE drives . Also from the same people are CacheCDF S
and CD32 Emulator.

If you don't want to buy any hardware to run Macintosh softwar e, there is now a totaly softw are-only emulator : Shapesh ifter
2.0. It supports 256 colours in AGA (16 in ECS), and up to 24 bit colour on the Picasso-II , EGS, and CyberG raph ics cards.
You don't even need an MM U, so you can run it on your A1200. Supports Amiga floppy, hardd rive, serial, para llel, and SCSI
ports; Amiga sound and parallel port style digitizers, Amiga clipboard . Demo version availa ble on Aminet.
Maxon is work ing on a new release of Maxon C++. Maxon C++ is AT&T 3.0 Standard compatible (templates and exceptions)
and includes Amiga specific C++ classes .
There is a not well known but potenti aly very handy card called the "GoldenGate II". This card lets your Amiga access IBM
cards directly (it's not an emulator) , such as serial and modem cards. Software Results Enterpr ises (SRE) has assumed

Amiga History
This year of 1995 marks Ihe tenlh year for Ihe Amig a. Yes folks, rt has actualy been ten years since tne revlutionary Amiga first hrt the scene. Since
that time, the Amiga has been responsible for many industry firsts. whether the industry at large wishes to recognize them or not. This year also marks
a momentuous moment of change for Ihe Amiga. Just one year ago, Commodore declared bankru ptcy. In May of this year, what was left of
Commodore, including Ihe Amiga was finaly purchased by Escom. With the coming of Escom, tne Amiga finaly has a chance 10become whal rt
could have bul did not under Commodore's inept business practices. l ets look back at some key historial events in Commodore's nistory , from the
begining to Ihe end:
V' 1958 Commodore Business Machines Inc. is established in Toronto, Ontario Canada, as a typewrrter repair and sales company .
V' 1960 By the earty 1960s. Commodore is selling adding machines and a wide range of office equipment
V' 1969 CBM produces one of Ihe first hand-held calculators
V' 1977 The PET IS introduced as the first personal computer. It teatures a 6502 microprocessor and 8K RAM for less than S1000
~ 1980 The VIC 20, the first home computer. is introduced for less than S300
.... 1983 The C64, the most popular home computer ever sold, is introduced
V' 1984 In search of a new personal computer technology for professionals and consumers, Commodore acquires Amiga Computer Inc.
V' 1985 The Amiga 1000 ,s introduced (and is) the first multitaskinq multimed ia computer with a mouse-driven color graphic user interface.
V' H' 87 Commodore introduces the Amiga 500, 2000 and a Bridgeboard which enables 2000 series machines to run MS_DOS compat ible software.
~ 1988 A2500 is introduced . 14Mhz 020 accelerator and SCSI·HD card .
.... 1989 A2S00/030 is lntroduced. 2SMhz 030 CPU.
V' 1990 The nex1generation Amiga, the Amiga 3000 feal uring Motorola's 68030, is inlroduced. The company unveils the CDTV player · the ·first·
home informationl education entertainment system able to play interactive mutttmedla applications on compact disc.
~ 1991 Commodore's wortdwide installed Amiga user base exceeds three million
.... 1992 CBM introduces the Amiga 4000 in September , the revolutionary new member of the Amiga family. The A4000 is powered by a Motorola
68040 and features high·reso lution graphics slmunaneously displayed in up to 262,144 colors from a palette of over 16.8 million hues . Other new
products introduced include the Amiga 600, the AS70, AmigaVision Profess ional, and AmigaDOS 3.0.
V' 1992 November 16: A1200 is introduced, MSRP of S699.00.
~
V'
1992 Commodore's wortdwide installed user base exceeds four million
.... 1993 March 19: A4000·030 is introduced, MSRP of S2399.00.
1993 April 2: A4000T , A4091 SCSI·II card, and A1940/A1942 monrtors shown at Wortd of Commodore in New York. Prototype of MPEG card
shown.
V' 1993 Aug 13: CD A32 introduced to Europe.
V' 1994 Jan: CD A32 officialy announced 10the USA . MPEG module shipping. C= claims 20,000 CD A32s shipping per week.
V' 1994 May: Commodore files for bankruptcy .
V' 1995 May: After a long year of deliberations , Escom AG of Germany purchases Commodore's assets and promises to continue the Amiga line.
Without a doubt. Commodore played a very important role in the evolution of the home computer in late 70's and 80's. Among the first "Personal
computers" to really become popular were the PET computers . From the start , Commodore made inexpensive machines. In the 80's they shattered
Ihe price bariers wrth the Vic 20, and Ihen the enormously popular C64 .. Ihe most popular single computer ever. In addrtion to making computers more
affordable, Commodore also brought new advanced technology 10 low cost computers . The C64 was cheaper than most compulers, yet offered
impressive graphics and sound abililies. This Irend continued when in 1984 Commodore aquired Ihe Amig a company, and released the first Amiga in
1985.
The Amiga in 1985 was an incredible machine for rt's day . It had both amazing hardware and an amazing operating system. It had the DOS command
line like the IBM PC (though rt was much more sophisticated), as well as having the newly popular GUI like the Macintosh, and went way beyond by
being a true rnuftitaskinq system . It had colour graphics and fancy sound abilities , an 880K 3.5· disk drive , and a two button mouse. It was
revolutionary.

An open letter to Escom.
The Amiga commun ity is both excited and a little bit afraid of the future for the Amiga. We are hap py that the situat ion has
Blacklistedl 411 47
finaly been resolved , and that it appears that we will nave new systems in a few months . Escom's announced flex ibility in
licens ing Amiga technology sounds like an idea who's time has come . But we are unsure for the future of the Amiga. There
is no doubt that the Amiga must move to a RISC processor to stay compet itive. The PowerPC is probab ly the satest bet, but
is it the best? Before Commodore died, their engineers we re work ing with the HP-RISC chip, which sounded very nice as the
basis for a new custom chipset. There is no doubt that the AGA chipset is insuficient for the future (or even prese nt ) as far as
PC's go. AGA is well suited for "set top" boxes, embeded appl ications like Kiosks and other inexpensive multimed ia displays,
low cost game systems , etc. It may even be good for a portab le Amiga (perhaps in an all CMOS version). But it falls short for
desktop PC's.
So in terms of hardware, the future Amiga wou ld be some sort of system running a RISC CPU, and using some other chipset
for graph ics and sound. What is left of the "Amiga" in this system? Wha t wou ld distinguish this system over other similar
computers like the PowerMac and PowerlBM 's? Well if you don't know, I'll tell you : The Amiga's Operating System. And this
is the point I wish to make here. The AmigaOS "must" be ported to this new system ! Otherw ise it is not an Amiga, it is just a
clone of other PC's (since it would be foo lhardy to start with a completely new and propr ietary system that has no software or
hardware support at all)
This new system must be AmigaOS compat ible. Otherw ise it will have no advantage over the compet ition, and the Amiga
userbase will certa inly be alienated - causing them to either hold on to their existing Amigas, or switch to a Mac or IBM.
Witness also the grass roots movement to create a "clone" of AmigaOS , which will run Amiga applications on current
hardware or future RISC mach ines. Does Escom want to be forced to compete with their own user base (for wh ich they ju st
payed $12 million for)? I don't think so. I believe Escom is smarter than Commodore was.
So I want to urge , plead, beg, whatever is necessary , to get Escom to realize the importance of AmigaOS to the future Amiga
mach ine. What's so great about Am igaOS? Take a look:
" Fully pre-emptive multitasking system . The MacOS does not have this. Even Windows95 can't do it well .
" 100% 32 bit "Micro kernel" OS. Windows95 still has 16 bit code !
" Easily extended , efficient system of devices and libraries .
" ARexx macro language and high level interprocess communicat ion.
" Very small and efficient. Runs WELL in a mere 4MB of ram.
At the moment , it is missing built in features like virtual memory , and memory protect ion -- but in porting it to a RISC platform ,
these things could be added. Neither Windows95 nor MacOS have memory protection yet. The only thing close to AmigaOS
is IBM's OSI2. There is also a large body of software that could be licensed and built into/bundled with AmigaOS to very easily
and greatly expand its ability (not to ment ion this would also make for some very happy and more loyal developers ):
" Virtual memory . There are several VM systems. Adopt one.
"Networking. Commodo re developed Envoy. Bundle it.
"TCPIIP. There is a PO package wh ich could be included, as well as things like Mosa ic, FTP, IRC and EMail front ends with
GUI's . All of these could be integrated with an easy installer.
" Better printing. Wolf Faust's printer software is very exce lent and should be standard stuff.
" RTG software . There are several solutions out there. Pick a good one, and integrate it into graphics.library .
I could go on and on as to what could be and should added to AmigaOS to make it a truly killer Operat ing System . There
are Amiga users which have created some fantastic envirionments on their Amiga's . There is a large wealth of excelent
PO/Shareware software and the programers who create it, which could be tapped . Don't be like Apple and IBM (other than
successfull) . Be resourceful and innovative . Take advantage of the knowledge of the Amiga community! We've been
begging for it for almost 10 years now, please, use us for all we're worth ! Don't make the mistakes Commodore made.
The Amiga lives.

The Tower - by The Gauntlet ~elp,
here's the tower of power.. There's
nothing too exciting to say about this
sucker, but from the looks of it and it's
surrounding, we'd say that it was taken
somewhere along the way to Nevada.
Can anyone say, "Las Vegas?" We
thoght so!! Anyhow, it's just a picture of
some high-voltage power lines...the
thing does look kind of cool, sorta.
Speaking of Las Vegas , that reminds
me of the upcoming DEFCON III
convention to be held at the Tropicana
Hotel in Vegas August 4th through the
6th. Dark Tangent, the originator/owner
of the whole "DEFCON" convention can
be contacted on his voice mail at 0-700-
826-4368, through internet email at
dtangent@defcon.org, snail mail at
2709 E. Madison #102, Seattle, WA
98112...The address for the Tropicana
Hotel is 3801 Las Vegas Boulevard
South, Las Vegas, Nevada , 89109.
They can be contacted at (800)468-
9494. If you need to know rates or wish
to make reservations, give them a call.
If you're an old timer hacking expert or
a total newbie hacker, you need to
attend this convention!! Be sure to take
extensive notes while you're there so
we can hear all of your comments when
it's all over with . We hope you can
make it and have a good time!! Next.
"The Lever" by ShoeString What we
have here is pretty interesting. In the
background we see a house, obviously
(well, maybe not so Obvious, if you
happened to get a copy that somehow
managed to get puked on by the
printer) In the foreground of the picture,
nearest our viewpoint , you will see a
utility pole. On this pole what looks like
a large "lever" is attached to it. Well
this is a level, actually. It's connected
to a mechanism at the top of the utility
pole, via a long length of solid metal or
plastic tubing. From what we can tell, it
looks as if this "lever" is used in some
fashion as a power main of sorts.
Switch the lever in the right way and cut
off power to a grid? Cool. We're not
sure, but it looks like that's what it is..
Wanted: Photographs!
If you have a photo of a payphone, local telephone company vehicle or building, local cable
company vehicle or building, or some other interesting item, please send them to us along
with a short "memo" explaining what it is that we're looking at! If you send a photo that we end

Hardware Review
Ok, so you have a new project for the telephone
and you need some way to detect rings....detect
:~) C I rcu t t Werkea line current, etc.. Well, this is what you need,
~Q ~ N people. This interface provides ring detect, line
~
0 0 current detect, and a bidirectional audio path
• 1.-------. with automatic signal limiting. Includes pass
through type approval for connect ing your
project to the phone lines. It's absolutely
perfect for those of you who need some quick
way to get around the ring detect. That alone
pays for itself. Speaking of pay, this unit will
cost you $29.95...ok, $30 might seem a bit
costly, but if you've ever worked on stuff like
this, the $30 is worth it, considering you won't
have the hassle of worrying about a RING
DETECT. Call CircuitWerkes at (904)331-5999

around when you're in the mood to dig into some
new telecommunications project or you're listening
to some people on the Amateur radio making a few
autopatch calls...Wanna know what number they're

Instant information. It will decode all 16 standard
DTMF tones (0-9, #, ", A-D). It works off of every
output source we had available: we played some
prerecorded tones into it, we pumped "live" manual
dials into it, off the air, etc. It worked like a charm -
no screw ups, etc. It's really amazing how these
devices work. So simple and so very very useful.
I'm glad we have a few of these devices handy! It's
available from CircuitWerks for $79.95 (prebuilt
unit) or $49.95 (complete KIT) Same number!

The most misunderstood and most maligned component in the Amiga has got to be the 8520 Complex Interface Adapter
(CIA). It has been blamed for everything including world hunger at one point or another. A discussion of what a CIA does and
more importantly what it does NOT do is in order.
There are two CIA's in every Amiga system. They are designated CIAA and CIAB. These 8520 IC's (Integrated Circuits) are
general purpose InpuUOutput controllers that are used in other microcomputer systems as well. In the Amiga, they handle
keyboard , serial, parallel and other I/O functions like portion of joystick data. The table below details the pin-outs for each of
these IC's and their corresponding function (Pin #, Signal name , Amiga function) .

(2) RS232C compat ible serial port (Modem etc.)
(3) This can either be a joystick fire button , a mouse left button or a light pen beam trigger .
The main purpose of this chart is to show you exactly what is connected to these devices and more importantly what is not !
For example , take the case of a joystick that does not respond to up and down movements or a problem with a mouse that
seems to have a mind of it's own. Neither of these problems could have anything to do with our friendly 8520's. Many people
have stated that the best way to troubleshoot a problem with an 8520 is to exchange them and see if the problem corrects
itself for moves to another area of the system. If you look at the CIAA and CIAB carefully , you will notice that many I/O
functions are split between them. For instance, the parallel port gets its data from the CIAA, but is controlled via the CIAB.
The most common failure of an 8520 is due to ignoring the first rule of computing : NEVER PLUG OR UNPLUG ANYTHING
INTO YOUR AMIGA WITH THE POWER ON! Many ports that are handled via the 8520 are directly connected to the IC.
When you pull off a mouse cable or a serial cable that has that nice metal shield around it, you are asking for trouble . Just in
case you decide not to head this warning, here are the part numbers !:

I'm here..." "\lVhat was that?" "I dunno...thought it was you.." "No, it wasn't me... maybe someone 's listening.. " You
both laugh it off and jokingly mention someone listening in on your convo. The funniest part about this is the fact that it is
completely possible that someone "IS" listening to you...whether it be just for the hell of it or for testing purposes of some type,
or some dork phone man
accidently tied into YOUR line
while messing around in a nearby
jbox down the street. \lVhatever
the reason , it's possible for
someone ...like me, like you , like
your neighbor, to listen in on your
conversations without your
knowledge . Pretty freaky , huh?
Not really. Our land lines are so
incredibly unsecure , it's plain
downright sickening to think
about! All it requires is a very very
minimal knowledge of how phone
lines work (wow, those two wires
go to THAT house.. duh), a phone
(beige box or testset, etc.) and the
will to eavesdrop on someone .
Heck, if you live in an apartment
building with quite a few tenants ,
it would be a good idea to check
out your phone wiring every so
often just to make sure nobody is
"tapped" into your line out at the
nearest jumper box. The phone
compan ies like to refer to this
phenomenon as a "hot drop"
which is, essentially, a "tap" into
your line. It's very illegal to do
such a thing, but it's hard to prove
and prosecute , so chew on that
one for awhile. We suggest that
you never , ever use a cordless
phone because it's the least
secure of ALL telecommu nication
methods available. You might as
well YELL across a crowded
room , rather than waste the
money making a phone call on a
cordless phone . Anyhow , the
whole point to this small article is
to make readers aware that their
words over phone lines are not
secure and may be monitored at
any time. So, if you ever hear a
click on the line or the volume of
the audio seems a little lower than
normal , think for a second -
SOMEONE COULD BE
LISTENING TO YOU other than
the called or calling party. It's a
scary world out there, people!

In this issue, we're going to talk about the termination tool and what it does. First, terminators are those
annoying little things attached to the cable connections inside your cable box outside. This makes it really
hard to hook up your cable. Heh.. The
picture located to the left has an
example of a basic termination tool
and the actual terminator that is used
to cap off unused cable ports near the
subscribers home. The tool is very
simple to use. The thin end of the tool
is slipped into the opening of the
terminator. Along the inside surface
of the terminator are two small slots.
These slots are matched up to the
tool. Inside the shaft of the tool, there
are two metal protrusions which are retracted by the slider, located just below the handle of the tool... Pull the
slider towards the handle and the metal protrusions will retract, allowing the shaft to be inserting into the
terminator. The inside of the terminator and the outside are loose fitting, on purpose. You can turn the outside
of the terminator by hand (without the tool) and the inner portion will not turn, making it nearly impossible to
remove it. Insertion of the terminator tool, allows one to turn the inner portion of the terminator, thus being
able to remove it. There are at least 3 versions of this tool , with the only difference being the physical
diameter of the shaft. This is effective enough to keep most people from hooking up their cable and making
it look nice... People resort to splicing cable, etc...which is a dead give away when the cable guys happen to
be working in the box right outside!! The tool shown above is the one used by Paragon Cable in the Orange
County area. If you have any sources for such tools, please contact us about it. Information is the key.
The tool pictured to the left is of What you see pictured to the left
