- Whatsnew. (most important improvements)
-
- 4.0
- + Small fixes
- + cwsdpmi.exe not needed from now
- + ITE8212 IDE controlled added
- + CX now show average latency (seek+read one sector)
- + erase: speed increased up to 50mb/sec and even more
- when used on controllers which support UDMA by BIOS
- + erase: current speed display
- + SiS IDE controllers added
- + SMART: RAW-values fixed
- + Promise controllers detection fixed
-
- 3.9
- + Range Check error when selecting a drive fixed
- + Fixed Serial ATA conrollers detection (Via and SiI)
- + Intel ICH5 Native Mode detection fixed
- + CRITICAL: FF/TOF procedures fixed. Data was written into
- wrong place on LBA48 drives
- + CRITICAL: fixed a bug when MHDD locks the drive when launching
- + CX now make SEEK+READ instead of just Seek
- + AAM now make SEEK+READ too
- + Scan: logging fixed
- + Timer functions has been completely rewritten
- + Scan: Timings changed to make better picture on latest drives
- + MHDD requires Pentium from now
- + CRITICAL: great speed improve on ERASE, FF, TOF and READ
- procedures
- + BIOS support added. Erase now will go via bios if the drive
- correctly detected by BIOS. You can switch this off by
- /DISABLEBIOS command line parameter
- + PWD, UNLOCK, DISPWD procedures fixed
- (just cosmetics and reporting)

- 3.6
- + PCI bus scanning: several changes to improve detection of PCI cards
- + Registers "sticking" fixed :-)
- + ERASE: fixed small bug
- + SCAN: logging improved (statistics added)
- + SCAN: current/max lba numbers are "formatted" now
- + Optimized output somewhere and also optimized some procedures
-
- 3.5.2
- + Some insignificant fixes in SCAN procedure
- + CLRMBR command added (clears MBR)
- It backups MBR into two places: file LBA0.MBR and LBA 1 on your drive
- before erasing.
-
- 3.4
- + Timer improved (10 times more precise now)
- + /RO key added to prevent MHDD to try to save any file
- + TOF and READ: changed algorithm of detecting error LBA number
- + VIA IDE controllers recognition fixed
-
- 3.3
- + Intel ICH5/6 Native Mode SATA controller support added.
- - Slave devices have been disabled.
- + New command line parameter: /ENABLEPRIMARY

- rewritten module which works with PCI ATA controllers. Serial
- ATA now also supported

- + Fixed "erase" procedure. Now fills with zeroes
-
- + Actual time during scan
-
- + Fixed division by 0 in copy/read/scan procedures
-
- 2.9.3.2 (Sep 2004)
-
- + Smart attribute names updated.
-
- + TOF procedure rewritten, now skips bad blocks, makes detailed
- log file.
-
- + EraseWaits counter.
-
- + More precise logging (using flush procedure now to add to
