SD2Iec Firmware v0.9.1 Released
SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family.
The most prominent use of SD2IEC is emulation/replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64. Hardware and the microcontroller’s firmware is available as open source (GPL).
Changelog:
2010-03-07 – release 0.9.1
- Bugfix: Filling unused REL records used wrong offsets.
- Bugfix: Unbreak case-insensitive matching of FAT file names.
- Bugfix: Fix raw directory mode for D64/D71/D81.
- Bugfix: Tell the display about REL files too.
- Add preliminary support for the ATmega1284P.

Released eSXDos v0.7.3 Beta public firmware for Divide interface
General Info:
- Firmware written primarily for the DivIDE interface, maybe for others in future.
- Inspired by our (Phoenix & LaesQ) old ‘backbone’ project + inspiration from +D
- Works with HDD/CD-ROM/ZIP/LS120 (LS120 can access 720KB and 1.44MB floppies)
- Uses drivers to access filesystems (either in RAM or ROM)
- Provides new BASIC commands
- Will provide RST 8 hooks for user-land apps
- Supports IM2 loading/saving (K3L’s FA part)
- Drivers give access to the filesystem, and provide specific emulation hooks in certain cases (TRDOS, .TAP, etc)
- There’s a device/filesystem abstraction layer, which means that BASIC or user-land programs don’t need to know anything about the underlying filesystem/device (ie, you use the same BASIC commands for all filesystems, FAT/ISO/TRD/etc)
- Will allow up to 4 virtual drives for disk images (.trd/etc)
- Filesystems are mapped acording to type: hd*, fd*, cd*, vd*, td*
- FAT12/16/32 driver built-in ROM, other drivers loaded from boot filesystem on demand. (on this preview version, there was still room so TRDOS filesystem is in ROM too)
Does not need a system file to work, common BASIC commands and FAT driver on ROM, system file loaded from boot filesystem will have additional commands, etc. - … more stuff which I prolly forgot
