First christmas preview beta of OktaPussy!
WARNING!!!! BETA SOFTWARE!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
Features:
- New drivers for ALF-III, Oktagon 508/2008/4008, TandemCD,
AlfaPower, AT-Bus 2008
- Installs in the RDSK Blocks of your Harddisk - super fast boot!
- 4 methods of installation:
RDSK-Blocks, Reset-Resident(with LoadIDE),
Expansion driver, Direct-Start.
- All devices support the TD64 command set. Drives >4GB shouldn't be a problem!
A new release of the ancient HDInstTools program can be found in a different
archive (hdinst.lha).
History:
1.4 (beta)
Greatly improved data transfer routines for Oktagon and ALF3 drivers.
Reworked support for variable blocksizes. CD reading/writing works
like a charm (Tested with MakeCD, CDD-2000 Writer, Pioneer 12x CD-ROM)!
Improved disconnect/reconnect capabilities. Disconnect should now work
with the strangest devices like CD-Writers and Streamers.
Removed LUN adding into CDB.
Now always sends an Identify message, regardless of disabled reconnect
(WARNING: This might break the operation of the Kodak/Verbatim Floppy!
Does anyone has such a beast?)
Added SlowTransfer mode for SONY SDT-9000 DAT. Might help others, too.
OktagonPrefs got a SlowTransferMode switch.
Removed obsolete SYNCH switch in OktagonPrefs.
1.3 (beta)
Drivers now have a timed display alert, which will automatically enable
OktaPussy after about 10 seconds.
DriveInit now gives an error code, if writing of RDSK blocks failed.
Error codes are:
rdbERROR_IOERROR 1001 (Exec device I/O error)
rdbERROR_BADHARDBLOCK 1002 (Weird hardblocks, checksums invalid, etc.)
rdbERROR_RDSKNOTFOUND 1003 (No RDSK blocks found)
rdbERROR_NOTIMPLEMENTED 1004 (Unimplemented feature called! You found a bug!)
rdbERROR_TOOMANYBLOCKS 1005 (No space on harddisk to save DriveInit)
Improved strategy for getting drive's sector size, as TD_GETGEOMETRY fails
with older versions of oktagon.device.
(Do these old versions support drive init at all?
I can't remember, but I believe Version 4 or better of oktagon.device
supports it)
1.2 (beta)
Removed annoying nag requester with a nice, less annoying DisplayAlert.
Fixed bug in initialisation of AT driver.
1.1 (beta)
Fixed stupid typo in ALF3 driver which rendered it useless.
1.0 (beta)
Initial release
