- Les Bird has given permission to include his extensive library of MSX ROM images. Please see https://github.com/lesbird/MSX8 for more information.
- Appropriate MSX8 ROM player and hardware required to use these.
- Provided as supplemental RomWBW disk image slices (msxroms1.img, msxroms2.img).

- Post-processing of disk-hosted ROMs such as FZ80 and ZRC has been modified to handle custom user configurations.
- Standardized all distribution ROM names to end in _std.
Windows marks files downloaded from the Internet and may prompt you during the RomWBW build process with repeated security warnings. Added instructions for "unblocking" distribution files when using the Windows build. Credit and Thanks to Derek for this tip.

- Modified SD driver to keep SD card clock consistently fast after card init. This only seemed to effect a Lexar 32GB uSD Card on CSIO interface. Thanks and credit to Richard Deane for reporting this.
- Improved hard disk layout documentation.
- SIOINTS allows disabling use of interrupts in the SIO driver when interrupts are enabled globally. It will not allow you to enable SIO interrupts if interrupts are globally disabled (INTMODE 0).
The Microdrives behave slightly differently than either normal spinning drives or CF Cards. This update removes the "short" timeout that is used in the IDE/PPIDE drivers which caused timeout issues for the Microdrives.
The short timeout was originally used to workaround excessive wait/stall during boot of some media. I don't think it is necessary any more because of additional intelligence in the initialization routines.
- Unique I/O configuration for Les Bird's Graphics/Sound/Joystick Module has been removed because the module now conforms to generic MSX port conventions.
- ROM Applications document has been consolidated into the Applications document
- Martin has done a significant overhaul of the Applications document
