`06.Oct.2002` CyberGFX	Mediator: PatchInt V1.2 (3rd release) Already on 3rd October 2002, Matthew Allatt has released version 1.2 (3rd release) of 'PatchInt' for the PCI board 'Mediator' from Elbox. The tool gets rid of the lockups which occur with various sound, ethernet, serial and other PCI boards. This update should fix the sound distortion which occurred with the SoundBlaster after some time of playback. Matthew Allatt writes on this: "I'd just like to let you all know that I've finished a new version of PatchInt..." - "I found that when using PatchInt, and playing tunes through the SoundBlaster card, the sound would become distored after a while. Others have reported this to me as well, so, having found some time, I've written a new version which should hopefully fix this."

`06.Oct.2002` Amiga Society	Amiga Society: Schlachtfeld page updated and Status From the Amiga Society site: "The Schlachtfeld page has received a new design. The contents is not that far yet, but the first graphics for a second level can already be seen. Over the next weeks, some submenus etc. will be added to the page and some more information will be provided. Possibly the page will also get its own domain soon. We still hope to have at least a beta of Phase I (with the old graphics) until the show in December. According to current estimation of the situation, Phase I will probably not get over the beta stage. The graphics of Phase II have advanced that much already that a parallel development of code and graphics is beginning to make sense." (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 06.

`05.Oct.2002` Chris Hodges (E-Mail)	USB-driver: New version of Poseidon version 1.31 Chris Hodges writes: Dear Poseidon users, during these gray autumn days, just when you seem lonely and sad, and all seems dull and dark, waiting for new things to appear, there is this small light on this virtual planet. This location for recovering happiness is called http://www.platon42.de/poseidon.html That's the place, where you can download the latest, mindboggingly cheerful update of Poseidon. And no, it's not Christmas just yet. Therefore, the only new things you will get are more GUI's to play with (and I know you love to play with the settings ;) ) and the ability to finally mount RDB Amiga partitions automatically! But the good news does not stop here, no, you can even boot from RDB partitions now (and using boot95 from the fat95 package, you probably also can boot from FAT formatted media, if you prefer). Sounds good, eh? For the people that cannot wait for the HID class to pop up, there is a new experimental wheelmouse mode in the bootmouse which supports a horizontal wheel on some mice. But be sure to have MUIWheelPatch installed! Don't be disappointed, if it doesn't work with your mouse, it's just a quick hack that works with one wheel mouse I've got here, but not with the other (because it doesn't send wheel information in boot protocol). There is also something new, but this will be published in a seperate press statement. So enjoy the new stuff, and wait what happens next. Changelog ~~~ poseidon.library 1.31 Added stack config support. Trident 0.12 Added stack config stuff. Misc changes. hub.class 1.17 Fixed a bug where the hub task wouldn't neccessarily fail out from the outer loop on hub removal. bootmouse.class 1.11 Added experimental quick & hacky wheelmouse support. Will probably only work with a few mice (the ones that report wheel movement in byte 4 even with boot protocol enabled -- works with my Sigma mouse, doesn't work with my Logitech wireless desktop (no wheelmouse data in boot protocol). Be sure you have MUIWheelPatch installed. Added class (defaults) and binding GUI to enable wheelmouse support. massstorage.class 1.15 Booting from RDB implemented (added a flag for this in the GUI aswell). Thanks to Ralph Schmidt for contributing the CreateSegment() code. Misc internal changes. RDB Mounting added. Now RDB formatted partitions will be mounted automagically on media insertion aswell. Mounting is not done from the device task anymore (as this could cause a deadlock, if the filesystem wanted to do device IO before returning from the mount call), but from a tiny seperate task, living only for the moment :) Changed implementation of FIX_INQUIRY to fake inquiry. Old fix inquiry is still present for wrong inquiry requests. Fake Inquiry should fix a lot of broken devices. Added option to disable the initial bulk reset, as some broken devices seem to choke on it (and crash their firmware, stupid thing). Changed NakTimeout prefs value from ms to 1/10secs. This seems more reasonable. Please check your configs. Added option to delay the device startup. This is needed for some broken devices, which crash their firmware, if they receive commands during their setup (Nikon Coolpix). Added possibility to change the DOSType. If the DOSType is NOT 0x464154xx (FATx), LowCyl will not be 0 and autodetection of FAT95 will be disabled. This should allow the use of CrossDOS, but this has not been tested. Added saving of default prefs. Added default prefs GUI (class config). printer.class 1.14 Added implementation of CMD_START/CMD_STOP. Added class GUI with two options: one disables the sending of the init sequence on Epson printers, the other one disables the SOFT_RESET command which causes problems on some broken printers.
