Short: IOBlixZ2 / IOBlix1200 software update Author: tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de (Thore Boeckelmann) Uploader: tboeckel uni-paderborn de (Thore Boeckelmann) Type: driver/other Version: 37.20 Replaces: hard/drivr/SetupIOBlixUpd.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos List of recent changes: ioblixser.device/ioblix12ser.device 37.20: - errors from the UART were never really evaluated by the driver, because the evaluation took place at a completely wrong place. So if you should get framing errors, your request was aborted with NO error! Evil! Thanks to Chris Hodges for helping me finding that bug. ioblixpar.device/ioblix12par.device 37.20: - some IOBlix1200P modules seem to have some problems with their interrupts (in fact some interrupts can be lost), so the driver will ask the chip for interrupts from time to time while printing "by hand". - somehow I completely swapped the initilization of the chip for PPF and ECP modes. Maybe this caused some troubles for some people. I must have been VERY overnighted :( - it is now possible to set SPP (simple parallel port) mode. This mode doesn't use the chip's FIFOs and is NOT interrupt-driven. ioblixzip.device/ioblix12zip.device 37.20: - TD_GETGEOMETRY failed if no disk was inserted. This is fixed now. The driver will return the geometry of a 100MB disk in this case, no matter what kind of drive you are using. This also made the automounter going mad and open the driver thousands of times without closing it. ioblixether.device 37.20: - in case of an S2_OFFLINE command the S2EVENT_OFFLINE event requests will now be returned before any outstanding requests are aborted. IOBlix-Handler 37.20: - just a revision bump SetupIOBlix 37.20: - SetupIOBlix caused system freezes while checking the hardware and if the USB stack Poseidon was running because of not acknowledged interrupts. This is fixed now. - QueryIOBlix had still some debugging messages enabled when testing the Ethernet module. Nothing really bad, although annoying. - AutoMount.demon just checked for version 37.2 of the program AutoMounter, but not for newer releases. Blame me for this stupid bug! - fixed Enforcer hits during search for ClockPort modules. I forgot to check a list for being empty :(. Thanks to Frederic Delacroix for his bug report. - Many thanks to Frederic Delacroix for the french translation of ioblix.catalog and the Installer scripts.
