ZoomFloppy 2.0 Software & Firmware released.

Oct 20 2011 11:40 PM | Gandalf42 in Hardware


There has been a new release of the ZoomFloppy firmware. It's currently considered beta, so there may be some hidden kinks yet to be ironed out.

For those not in the know, the ZoomFloppy is an interface board for transferring Commodore 64/128 disk images to and from native Commodore disk drives.

Some of the improvements are:
  • Added support for IEEE-488 drives. (Implemented by Thomas Winkler.)
  • Added experimental support for 1571 serial nibbling via the SRQ protocol.
    Now you don't need a parallel cable with a 1571. Implemented by Arnd Menge.
  • Added support for low-level drive analysis with a 1541 index-hole sensor.
    This works only on drives with a parallel port and nibtools.
  • Bugfix: cbmcopy -r or cbmread now no longer hangs at the end of a transfer.
  • Bugfix: Don't reset the bus twice if previous command was interrupted and
    this command is "cbmctrl reset".
  • Bugfix: Increase reset time to 100 ms to be sure all drives are reset.
  • Linux build fix for more modern kernels.
