ZZ9000 Graphics Card: Firmware and driver version 2.01
Lukas F. Hartmann's ZZ9000 is a graphics card with additional ports (network, USB, SD card) that can be ordered in various configurations (amiga-news.de reported).
Following version 1.13 three years ago, the firmware and drivers are now available in version 2.01.
Highlights since MNT 1.13:
- RTG: added the SetColorArray Zorro III batch palette path, optimized accelerated blits/fills/solid axis lines, restored P2C padded-stride behavior, preserved line draw modes, kept high-color mask behavior, and corrected the card library version.
- USB: added the Poseidon-compatible zzusbhw.device with root-hub emulation, chunked bulk transfers, async interrupt/poll handling, CopyMemQuick fast path, Zorro III autoconfig preference, and stability/performance fixes. The old usb-storage driver was removed, superseded by Poseidon plus SD boot.
- SD boot: added zzsd.device for HDF-on-FAT SD-card boot and integrated it into the firmware boot path with the boot ROM size guard.
- Audio: hardened zz9000ax.audio and mhizz9000.library for leaks, races, ownership handoff, DSP reset ordering, first-open DAC noise, and MP3/MOD transitions; added mixer defaults and ENV tunables documented in ZZ9000Installer/Docs/ahi-README.md.
- Network: ported ZZ9000Net.device to Bebbo GCC, fixed multi-open/close and init-completion issues, optimized RX/TX paths, added RX slot overrun accounting, and added zznetstats for SANA-II global statistics.
- Tools and installer: added ZZScanlines V2 and ZZTop V2 scanline controls, modernized the Commodore Installer flow, and made the release ZIP CI-populated from fresh builds.
- CI/release: GitHub Actions now builds the shipped components and publishes zz9000-drivers-v2.0.0.zip on tags.
- Docs and repository cleanup: refreshed readmes, release docs, credits/copyright, and binary-ignore rules.
