CBM-Command v2.0 Beta 1

26 November 2010 Nessun commento

CBM-Command è un disk manager multipiattaforma per Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 e Commodore C16. L’interfaccia assomiglia al Norton Commander / Midnight Commander ma molto più semplice ed e’ perfettamente integrata nel sistema operativo. La versione per Commodore 128 puo’ girare anche a 80 colonne.

Release Notes – Version 2.0 Beta 1 – 2010-11-25

New Features:

  • REL file copying between devices that support REL files.
  • D71 disk image support – now you can create and write dual sided disk images with a 1571 drive.
  • Configurable Hot Keys – Don’t like the default keys? You can redefine them yourself for version 2.0 using the Configuration program.

Changes:

  • Almost all code optimized for space savings to allow more features.
  • Issuing a drive command is now done on the main screen instead of in a popup box.
  • When renaming a file, the directory remembers where you were so you don’t have to scroll to the newly named file any longer.
  • Changed disk image writes to reposition the buffer pointer in the drive instead of rolling the data in CBM-Command which freed up a buffer and some memory in the main program.
  • Old keyboard shortcuts that required using the C= key now use the SHIFT key instead.

Known Issues:

  • Documentation is way out of date. New documentation is being written but is not yet ready for this release.
  • * Some of the default keys have changed. If you cannot find your old keyboard shortcut then go into the Configuration program and redefine the function as you need. These changes will be documented in the new version of the docs.

1541 Ultimate II: Aggiornamento sullo stato del progetto

1541 Ultimate II: Aggiornamento sullo stato del progetto.

testo tratto dalla Homepage di Gideon (1541 Ultimate):

  • It is now possible to order accessories for the 1541U-II. This is possible through the “Order Status” page. In case your unit has already been shipped, please create another order of 0 (zero) 1541U-II units, and add the accessories to that order.
  • Tape connector boards have been ordered. Expect 150 of them in about 2 weeks. One board clicks under the 1541-II case; the other holds the 2×6 pin tape connector and tape feed-through. The two boards connect to each other using a standard 10-pin flat cable. The part that clicks under the 1541-II case can also be used to power the cartridge for stand-alone mode (requires software update). I am planning to ship the tape connector boards as build-it-yourself kits to keep it cheap. Assembly possible for a small extra fee.
  • If you paid after June 1, you will need to wait until the new production batch is finished. You will receive an E-mail about this soon! (Refund possible..)
