confuse Mountain Lion -
[Client] Apple /// tries harder to consume buffered keystrokes
before doing line-oriented input -

in times of failure; fixes speediboot pauses -

port

Serial now bootstraps from bare metal in 1/3 the time it used
to take with Speediboot(tm) technology -
[Server] Mac OSX has a prettier "installer" via the DMG - just
drag/drop the ADTPro folder to Applications
Bug fixes:
- [Server] Improve serial error recovery for two different
scenarios:
1 - by waiting (much) longer before timing out to
allow for problemtatic/errorful block reads, and
2 - flushing the serial port after things like checksum errors
ADTPro 1.2.0
January 14, 2012
Bug fixes:
-
[Server] Integrate Cloudhopper's 64-bit Windows RXTX dll - fixes
2-way Windows 7 64-bit serial communications -

put up the dialog box saying you should change the configuration - it
brings up the change configuration dialog so you can actually do it -
[Server] Be consistent when automatically adding suffixes
(.dsk vs. .DSK) -
[Client] Don't lock out interrupts during program execution - it
hinders things like the GS Desk Accessory bringup -
[Client] Apple /// responds a little better to disk switched
errors like those produced by the CFFA300 card -
[Client] Apple /// Ethernet screen layout was missing DHCP
configuration option
ADTPro 1.1.9
May 1, 2011
This release incorporates Jonno Downes' newer ip65 stack - and in so doing, I've enabled DHCP (auto) configuration for the Ethernet client. There's also a couple of bug fixes that all users might be interested in - one is a long-standing one where duplicate volume names would report erroneous block sizes in the volume display.
Thanks to Antone Vignau for the suggestion to beep on file read/write errors, and the impetus to fix the duplicate volume label problem.
New functionality:
-
[Client] Enabled DHCP auto-configuration from Jonno Downes' latest ip65 code.
Note - Saved configuration files for Ethernet won't be compatible; so delete
or re-save them with this release -
[Client] Beep at the completion of a disk transfer that had read or write
errors
Bug fixes:
-
[Client] Duplicate volume names caused incorrect/repeated volume size display
-
[Client] Attempting to format a write-protected 5-1/4" floppy was hanging
ADTPro 1.1.8
January 17, 2011
If you have a LANceGS card from ///SHH Systeme - this release is for you. The IP stack has been updated to automatically detect and use either the A2Retrosystems Uthernet card or the LANceGS card. Both cards can be used in any Apple II or Apple /// computer.
New functionality:
- [Client] Added support for LANceGS Ethernet card
