Release Note No. 10 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.47 Release Date : 5th August, 1995 Additional Feature : This revision of the CD ROM driver supports PANASONIC PD drives. This requires the drive to be configured (through jumpers) for LUN mode operation. The driver does not need any command line switch to enable this feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Note No. 9 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.46 Release Date : 20th July, 1995 Description of the bug fixed in this release: With BATTLE CHESS CD-Game (both Rev. 1 and 4), the previous releases of the driver (V3.45 and below) caused the system to get locked-up completely requiring reboot. The current version fixes this problem. OBSERVATIONS: Please confirm them from your end. (a). Although SOUND OFF option was enabled, BATTLE CHESS Game was found to play audio tracks when two pieces fight. (b). We also made the following observations regarding Adaptec's ASPICD.SYS V3.01 when loaded with EPSA.SYS V4.25: (1). The audio was muted except during when two pieces fight [Obs. (a)] and fight animation was observed to be less. (2). Resulted in the display of a garbled screen, when CDMUSIC was invoked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Note No. 8 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.45 Release Date : 7th July, 1995 Description of the bug fixed in this release: With TOSHIBA ATAPI CD-ROM drives, the previous releases of the driver (upto V3.44) resulted in the display of a garbled screen, when CDMUSIC was invoked. The current version fixes this problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- RELEASE HISTORY --------------------------------- Release Note No. 2 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.41 Release Date : 26th Sept, 1994 File Details : ASPICD.SYS 11,760 09-26-94 11:30a ASPICD.EXE 12,914 09-26-94 11:30a Release Highlights: After the CD-i feature was added, a shortcoming was found in reading Multi-session discs. This problem was fixed. Release Note No. 3 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.41a (Test Release) Release Date : 10th Oct, 1994 File Details : ASPICD.SYS 11751 10-10-94 4:25p ASPICD.EXE 12905 10-10-94 4:25p Enhancements : The 'Return Audio Status' call does not any more call 'Read Sub-Q channel Info' (SCSI) function. It is not found to be necessary. It also slows down the system eg. when Wearnes CDD-110 R. T. ZORK. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Note No. 4 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.42 Release Date : 21th Oct, 1994 File Details : ASPICD.SYS 11,804 10-21-94 11:00a ASPICD.EXE 12,958 10-21-94 11:00a Enhancements : - during initialisation, displays only the names of the devices (as required Wearnes) - other information such as, host adapter number, SCSI ID and multi-media details are available when '/V' switch is specified on the command line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Note No. 5 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.43 Release Date : 3rd January, 1995 File Details : ASPICD.SYS 11,992 01-03-95 3:43a ASPICD.EXE 13,146 01-03-95 3:43a Enhancements : - Multi-session support for TEAC ATAPI drives. Remarks: This feature should be validated with TEAC SCSI drives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Note No. 6 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.43(test) Release Date : 4th April, 1995 Release Features: - This version restricts the number of sectors in one ASPI read command to less than or equal to 16. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Note No. 7 Product Name : ASPICD.SYS/EXE DOS ASPI Module for CD-ROM Devices Version No. : 3.44 Release Date : 28th April, 1995 Release Features: - Multi-session disc support for NEC 3xi, 3xp, 3xpplus, 4xe CD-ROM drives. This functionality has been tested in Shuttle India with NEC 3xi (500 type). It needs to be validated with other models. - This version restricts the number of sectors in one ASPI read command to less than or equal to 16. This feature was found to be required with NEC 3xp, 3xpplus drives, for reliable operation in slow modes. - The number of sectors in one read command can now be set through the command-line. Eg. DEVICE = ASPICD.SYS /S:10 sets the no. of sectors read in one read command to 10. This is rarely used. Valid range : 1 - 32. - During CDi play-back, the driver was not compatible with third party ASPI Managers. The current version fixes this problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
