- This is a followup to my review of AsimCDFS version 1.0b. To my
- surprise, I received a free upgrade to AsimCDFS 1.1 in today's mail!
- Upgrades, according to the documentation, are $7.00 (US) for a disk, or free
- from their BBS (416-332-9207, Ontario, Canada). I suspect mine was free
- because I debugged several problems in AsimCDFS 1.0b.
-
- The program versions in the upgrade, according to the Version
- program, are:
-
- AsimCDFS 1.1 (10.11.92)
- AsimTunes 1.1 (16.10.92)
-
- AsimCDFS 1.1 now supports the following SCSI controllers and
- CDROM drives. New additions are marked with an asterisk ("*"):
-
- Manufacturer's name: device name:
- -------------------- ------------
- Commodore CDTV: cdtv.device (unit 0)
- Commodore 2091/590/Amiga 3000: scsi.device (6.6 Roms)
- GVP Impact SeriesII (2000/500): gvpscsi.device (4.4 Roms)
- *GVP 68030 Combo (with built-in SCSI): gvpscsi.device (4.4 Roms)
- IVS Trumpcard Classic: IVS_SCSI.device (4.9 Roms)
- IVS Trumpcard Professional: IVS_SCSIpro.device (4.9 Roms)
- *DataFlyer: ExpSys.device (version 3.0)
-
-
- Supported CDRom drives:
- NEC CDR-7x, 8x, 3x (ROM versions vary)
- Panasonic CD-501 (ROM 1.0b)
- Chinon CDS-431 (ROM H48)
- Toshiba XM-320x, XM-330x, XM-220x, XM-5100
- * Pioneer DRM-600
- * Sony CDU-541, CDU-6211
-
- I noted several bugs in my review, and Asimware has fixed most of them:
-
- o The interaction with WShell (improper ParentDir() return
- code) is fixed.
-
- o The interaction with "ls" (improper Fib_DirEntryType) is
- fixed.
-
- o The flashing drive activity light is normal behavior.
-
- o AsimTunes ARexx commands are now case-insensitive.
-
- o FishMarket 1.0 CDROM has a virus in one of the programs
- (Challenger on Fish Disk 622) which will be removed in the
- next release of the disc. Don't run this program.
