This bugfix version fixes an error in HDDRIVER 12.60 when evaluating partition parameters. This bug in particular (but not only) affected MiNT. Version 12.60 has been redrawn.
These are the main changes in HDDRIVER 12.61:
- HDDRIVER: Support for the SD slot of the ATW800/2 also for the VME version. With MegaSTE and TT the slot is mapped to device 2.6 (IDE port 4). In order to use the SD slot with the VME version the latest ATW800/2 firmware is required. The ATW800/2 team ha successfully tested both the MegaST and the VME version with HDDRIVER 12.6. The HDDRIVER forum provides ATW800/2 hints and more information.
- HDDRIVER: If no LUNs are enabled when configuring a device with "Devices and Partitions", the SCSI Driver integrated in HDDRIVER manages the device, but no partitions are created. This is useful when cloning drives/memory cards, for instance.
- HDDRIVER: HDDRIVER at startup does not probe anymore for ACSI/SCSI/IDE hardware when the respective buses are already managed by an existing SCSI Driver. This further improves the hardware independence.
- HDDRIVER: Extensive optimizations.
- HDDRUTIL: The partition GUID (not only the partition type GUID) is saved to the clipboard with "Partition->Export to Clipboard".
- HDDRUTIL: The partition GUID and the 36 character GPT partition name can be edited with "Edit Partitions" after double-clicking the partition type GUID. The Atari can only display 8 bit characters, but the actual codeset is a 16 bit codeset. Therefore, with names outside of the ASCII range (created by other platforms), 16 bit characters may get lost.
- HDDRUTIL: Two items were added to the "Windows" menu: "Cycle" and "Close". The respective keyboard shortcuts have always existed.
- HDDRUTIL: Numerous user interface improvements.
