1541 Ultimate II: New firmware v2.1

April 12th, 2011 No comments

A new version of the firmware for the interface 1541 Ultimate II is released. This version only runs on the Ultimate-II!

Major improvement in latest release:

  • Config menu is now ‘hot’, meaning that all settings that can be applied when exiting the menu will be applied immediately without reboot.
  • Audio options added.
  • Stereo SID emulation added.
  • Initial support for domark cartridges added; not yet tested (and no support from the menu in this release).
  • Improvements made in file system handling.. (It’s not ‘clean’ yet, but delete and rename now work)
  • Issue solved that caused errors when more than one cluster was used for a directory.
  • Bug fixed that caused a crash when partition list was skipped.
  • Some additional testing with SID support.
  • Created module for selecting audio options in the Ultimate configuration menu. Address for second SID now configurable.
  • Some experiments done with EM1010 USB to Ethernet module. The module doesn’t comply with the USB philosophy of interrupts.. it *always* gives an interrupt every poll.. (wrong!) But nevertheless, managed to send a DHCP discover and receive a reply from the router. :) (not yet functional in this release)
  • Command Interface created and handler set up for testing VHDL. (not yet functional in this release)
  • Cartridge Logic restructured to make it a little more plug and go.
  • Reading of ISO9660 added (both as .iso file, as well as from external USB CD-ROM..)
  • Partition list skipped when there is just one.
