ZoomFloppy v2.0
This is a new ZoomFloppy package v2.0 that include a new release of OpenCBM and the ZoomFloppy Firmware v0.7.
Here are the changes in the v2.0 version:
- Many improvements and bugfixes.
- Add support for IEEE-488 drives. Implemented by Thomas Winkler.
- Add experimental support for 1571 serial nibbling via the SRQ protocol. Now you don’t need a parallel cable with a 1571. Implemented by Arnd Menge.
- Add support for low-level drive analysis with a 1541 index-hole sensor. This works only on drives with a parallel port and nibtools.
- Bugfix: cbmcopy -r or cbmread now no longer hangs at the end of a transfer.
- Bugfix: don’t reset the bus twice if previous command was interrupted and this command is “cbmctrl reset”.
- Bugfix: increase reset time to 100 ms to be sure all drives are reset.
- Linux build fix for more modern kernels.

YOHO! Finally, Update2 to Zoomfloppy arrived: Full SQR-Burstsupport for 1571 drives. I upgraded the firmware, upgraded the software and drivers, attached my 1571, used the following commandline:
nibread.exe -s -D8 -I -d -e5 -k -E35 testfile.nib
Now it transfers a diskside in 13.5 seconds! *And* lets me transfer several disks in a batch! Hooray!!!
