Short: Floppy and ZIP bugfixes 1.8->2.0 update Author: MartinTauchmann@bigfoot.com (Martin Tauchmann) Uploader: MartinTauchmann@bigfoot.com (Martin Tauchmann) Version: 2.0 Type: disk/cache Kurz: Nutzt den freien Speicher als Cache für FestPlatte, CD, FD et cetera Requires: disk/cache/fda.lha Date: 17.12.99 Url: http://MartinTauchmann.home.pages.de updates already installed v1.8 to v2.0 Version 2.0 of Future Drive Accelerator which is running out of date in middle of February 2000, to give pirates no chance, New features figured out: * 'FDA' give you also more CPU-time, because it's just about 15 times faster, than the scsi.device (IDE-Controller). * 'FDA' is 5 times cheaper and 4 times faster than 'PFS' with 'FFS' and all well tested disk-repair/reorg-tools with full compatibility to all existing programs, it's faster to install, and updates are free. english documentation: o `fda_DviPS.lha` DVI (TeX) and PostScript (GhostScript) formarts, o `fda.lha` AmigaGuide and HTML formats. german documentation: o `fda_d_DviPS.lha` DVI (TeX) and PostScript (GhostScript) formarts, o `fda_d_GuidHTML.lha` AmigaGuide and HTML formats. History V2.0 17-Dec-99 * Fixed, hanging of mfm.device (CrossDos) v40.9 and fd.device (XFileSystem v2.14 ) v42.86; because they use SendIO() without WaitIO(). This are also the case for the hanging bug of FDAPref. * Fixed, capacity-change detection for XFileSystem v2.17 * trackdisk.device OS 3.0 doesn't work with ½ trax and format-command, and doesn't reply a error value. The update-task uses now the write-command, but now the clear-command doesn't work for verify, which compare the trax while writing the next track. There is current no ideal solution for this problem. Perhaps using format-command for removeable medias, and 'size of track` does allow only a multiple of default size (5632 bytes). Any suggestions are welcome. New known bugs: The preferences calculate sometimes unreal values of 'Size of Track' for trackdisk.device, will be fixed soon. FAQ addition: * Please, don't install QuietTD from DiskSpare, i don't know why it hangs. * Please, don't use fd.device v42.86 from XFileSystem v2.14 together with "verify", use instead mfm.device it works. XFileSystem v2.16 do something but not bugfree. Copyright addition: Registration move to new user is free of charge. History V1.8 09-Nov-99 * Fixed, "write-Async" not 100% working timer, and detect perhaps an OS3.0 quick-flag (CheckIO) bug. * Added, PFS against FDA+FFS benchmark. History V1.6 30-Sep-99 * Recognize capacity-change of removeable-madias. I.e. DD<->HD Disks * English translation of documentation Thanks to The Amiga Translators Organization [http://ato.vapor.com] Jens Neubauer <jens.neubauer@gmx.de> for translate. Heiko Hayn <Smeagel@gmx.net> for proof-read. * ESC-Key supported Other products ************** Aminet:gfx/edit/FCP.lha (Convert Pic -> CopperList (6BitPlane -> 0 BitPlane CopperList) - CopperListEditor - CopperListSearcher - Full Modula-2 SourceCode) Aminet:mods/slow/BrainBird.lha (Shaman drums to meditate and 14 Ambient NewAge Songs) Aminet:comm/misc/TelekomBill.lha (German Phone-Bill calculater for WG´s) Aminet:gfx/show/ActiveWinPic.lha (Picture on any window, special SHELL!)
