- Short: Iomega ZIP Parallel Interface 0.5
- Author: bhabbott@inhb.co.nz (Bruce Abbott)
- Uploader: bhabbott@inhb.co.nz (Bruce Abbott)
- Version: 0.5
- Type: hard/hack
- Replaces: hard/hack/ppazip.lha
-
- An experimental interface and driver for the parallel Iomega ZIP drive.
-
- History
- -------
-
- v0.0 - Initial release
-
- v0.1 - Corrected pin numbers on circuit diagram
-
- v0.2 - Fixed bug in timedelay (was not freeing memory).
-
- - Now obtaining joystick port legally, via gameport.device
-
- v0.3 - Split large data transfers into 128K blocks, rather
- than using MaxTransfer setting in mountlist. This
- circumvents a bug in CrossDOSFileSystem v39.4 (which
- corrupts files if _any_ Maxtransfer setting is used).
-
-
- v0.4 - Using TEST_UNIT_READY and READ_SENSE commands to
- determine if r/w error is actually 'no disk in drive'.
-
- - Increased timeouts up to 3 seconds (greater than
- maximum drive spinup time).
-
- - Reduced Timer overhead. Now only opening timer.device
- once, instead of on every time delay. Allocated ioreqs
- static instead of using AllocMem.
-
- v0.5 - Using 10 byte SCSI read/write commands. Can now do large
- transfers (>128K) directly.
-
- - Included circuit diagram with no 7407 buffer chip, as
- buffering is not required in most cases.
-
- - Included 'ZIPC' mountlist for peecee formatted disks.
