-------------------------------------

uBee512 v2.4.0

 

New for this release:

* LibDsk has been added allowing direct floppy access, various disk image formats DSK, EDSK, TD0, CopyQM, etc. Other disk drivers under Windows and Unices are also possible.

* Added --side1as0 option to allow disks in LibDsk to correctly read side 1 when the sector header contains side 0. Microbee DS80 and DS40 formats can have this problem depending on the format program that was used.

* Added a sector size probing option --psec to access protected floppy disks and edsk images.

* Added emulation of the FDC write track command. Format and Init programs now work when using LibDsk.

* Added +fdc_wtd and +fdc_wth write track debug output options.

* Model information and drive status now appears in the program's title bar.

* Added A libdskrc file containing common Microbee formats for LibDsk.

* Re-instated the alpha+ --vdu option functionality. Default is 2K for VDU memory (no banking), 8K banked can be selected.

* Re-instated the paging of the text output for the --help option in Windows as default buffers in the console are not large enough.

 

Fixed:

* Alpha+ VDU colour bank selection issue resolved by defaulting to 2K of VDU RAM instead of 8K.

* FDC status results.
