existing "iolight timer" code in the hard drive code. If an LED is registered
with the "auto-off" flag, the device only needs to turn on the LED to indicate
data transfer. The LED timer in the gui code turns it off after 0.5 seconds if
it is not actived by another transfer. Added this feature to all network
devices.
- TODO #1: implement this feature in the USB host controllers
- TODO #2: the unused timer in the hard drive code could be used for the
emulation of seek functions
parameters (path + status) have been set. TODO: implement this feature for the floppy, too.
- call update_drive_status_buttons() from update_runtime_options() to reduce the number of calls.
Now call update_runtime_options() from the gui floppy / cdrom handlers after closing dialog.
* moved runtime handlers for cdrom from config.cc to the device object
* cd media status variable is now always of type bx_bool
* changed obsolete gui names like "cdromD" to "cdrom1"
* TODO: implement new runtime config mechanism similar to USB
- HDIMAGE_HAS_GEOMETRY flag added to vmware3 & vmware4 modes (these modes use
the CHS values from image file)
- harddrv: renamed pointer to hdimage object
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead
a Bochs session unless the configuration (transfer mode) changes. Then the
"drive id" data is simply copied to the output buffer.
- removed unused "drive id" example (Conner CFA540A)
- added stubs for the ATA flush cache commands
- converted some tabs to spaces
done by the object destructor (changes in cmos, hard drive and keyboard)
- bx_unload_plugins() now deletes the devmodel object in non-plugin mode
- CMOS device now prints the time on exit in human-readable format
- ATA command 'set multiple mode' fixed (missing interrupt and value check)
- hard disk sector read/write rewritten and simplified
- hard disk now reporting ATA-3 supported
- updated drive buffer size for save/restore
read/write commands)
- prepared i/o buffer for multi sector transfers
- power management commands "standby now" and "idle immediate" now returning success
* ports for error register, sector count and sector number are shared between
both drives
* status register always returns the values of the selected drive (0x00 if
not present
* set correct signature for both drives in case of reset
- read raw toc for image files and platforms other than Windows XP implemented (ported from qemu)
- several cdrom capacity fixes / report capacity only on Bochs init and cdrom change
- flag 'using_file' must be set to 0 for WIN32 ASPI or direct access
- multisession format handling removed from harddrv.cc (now handled in cdrom code)
- ATAPI error messages improved
- prepared ATAPI buffer for block size 2352
- sense code ASC_ILLEGAL_OPCODE added for unimplemented/unknown ATAPI commands
- some panics changed to errors
- unsupported bits message in drive and head register changed to BX_DEBUG
- improved info about not existing drive
- indent mode fixed in ATAPI packet command section
images created with bximage (heads = 16, sectors per track = 63)
- size check for 'flat' hard disk images added. The image size is now compared
with the size calculated from the geometry.
- report the cdrom capacity in megabytes instead of bytes
- don't flood the logfile with error messages when the guest OS checks the cdrom
unit periodicly for media presence
You can now choose for each disk on the ata interfaces the
disk mode, between :
- flat : one file flat layout
- concat : multiple files layout
- external : developer's specific, through a C++ class
- dll : developer's specific, through a DLL
- sparse : stackable, commitable, rollbackable
- vmware3 : vmware3 disk support
- undoable : flat file with commitable redolog
- growable : growing file
- volatile : flat file with volatile redolog
- z-undoable : gziped flat file with commitable redolog
- z-volatile : gziped flat file with volatile redolog
A new "bxcommit" utility can merge commitable redologs to
flat images.
- it works only on x86 with gcc2.95+
- uses the GCC function atribute "regparm(n)" to declare that certain
functions use the register calling convention
- performance improvement is about 6%
"bx_bool" which is always defined as Bit32u on all platforms. In Carbon
specific code, Boolean is still used because the Carbon header files
define it to unsigned char.
- this fixes bug [ 623152 ] MacOSX: Triple Exception Booting win95.
The bug was that some code in Bochs depends on Boolean to be a
32 bit value. (This should be fixed, but I don't know all the places
where it needs to be fixed yet.) Because Carbon defined Boolean as
an unsigned char, Bochs just followed along and used the unsigned char
definition to avoid compile problems. This exposed the dependency
on 32 bit Boolean on MacOS X only and led to major simulation problems,
that could only be reproduced and debugged on that platform.
- On the mailing list we debated whether to make all Booleans into "bool" or
our own type. I chose bx_bool for several reasons.
1. Unlike C++'s bool, we can guarantee that bx_bool is the same size on all
platforms, which makes it much less likely to have more platform-specific
simulation differences in the future. (I spent hours on a borrowed
MacOSX machine chasing bug 618388 before discovering that different sized
Booleans were the problem, and I don't want to repeat that.)
2. We still have at least one dependency on 32 bit Booleans which must be
fixed some time, but I don't want to risk introducing new bugs into the
simulation just before the 2.0 release.

From his patch file text:
> This patch adds Promise DC2300 VLB IDE Support.

I got Win95 running with 32-bit paging/filesystem using the
recommended driver and these patches. Since the patches did
such a good job bracketing code modifications with a #define,
they might as well become part of the current CVS code.
- Features :
. number of active channels defined at boot-time config
. new options in bochsrc
. up to 8 devices support (disks or cdroms)
. up to 4 cdrom devices can be changed at runtime config
. wxwindows config interface
