`10.Aug.2003` Michael Böhmer (ANF)	Major Update for ALGOR / ROMulus FlashROM Software E3B, makers of the well known USB solutions for Amiga Classic, and Chris Hodges, programmer of many well known software solutions, a.o.t. the USB stack Poseidon, are glad to announce being able to make available an update for the FlashROM solutions developed by E3B. In this update existing functionality has been optimized and expanded as well as some problems with some system configurations fixed. Thus users of the USB controller ALGOR as well as the FlashROM module ROMulus (HIGHWAY) have a mature and field-tested solution for the integration of additional software modules already at cold boot time at their disposal. A short overview over the new functions: Special treatment for exec.library and romupdate.idtag. Thus there is for the first time a full replacement for OS3.9's RomUpdate functionality. increased speed by way of switching on the processor cache. Workarounds for accelerator boards whose memory is not RomTag able. This solves many problems with certain accelerator boards even in Amiga 1200 tower rebuildings. Many internal changes and corrections, making the bootloader more stable and safer. Special attention has been paid to highest compatibility with unusual accelerator boards. The basic functions of ALGOR and ROMulus are essentially unchanged: comfortable user interface for programming the FlashROM (MUI). In case of an emergency the most important functions can be reached without MUI via command line. Drag'n'Drop when configuring the FlashROM via MUI. transparent and reset fast integration of any ROM modules. use of USB stack Poseidon directly on cold boot time. abolition of the OS3.9 ROM-Patch-Reset by integrating the ROM updates and thus faster boot tie of the computer. Booting the Amiga from USB mass storage directly after cold boot possible. full replacement of Amiga mouse and keyboard by respective USB devices via new input.device (also in the boot menu if OS 3.9 BoingBag 2 present). easy switching off of the ROM modules during bootup possible. integrated transparent compression for efficient usage of the FlashROM. The ALGOR resp. the FlashROM module ROMulus (upgrade for HIGHWAY) each have 512kb (256kx16 resp. 4 MBit) FlashROM which can be easily programmed via the user interface Luciferin. The FlashROM allows highest possible speed when booting the computer by way of wordwise access and the extremely early activation; use is possible in all Zorro II and Zorro III systems (also A1200 tower with Zorro slots). The update for Luciferin is available exclusively for registered owners of ALGOR and ROMulus - all registered users are mailed by E3B and receive the update by eMail. Should you have not yet registered, please send in your filled in registration card or contact E3B by eMail (mboehmer@e3b.de). A warm thank you at this place to Hartmut Schulze for his support through extensive bug reports and hints. (nba) (Translation: cb) [News message: 10.
