- This change avoids clearing the screen every time an OS reset occurs. A non-destructive VDC reset is now performed that leaves the screen contents and cursor position unchanged.
- If an application overwrites the video RAM, then the screen may contain garbage upon return to OS. However, the console will still be functional and the user can just press enter a few times to clear the screen.
- If enabled by AUTOCON config setting, you can press <space> at any character device to take over the console at the boot loader prompt.
- Correction to SIOSEEK documentation in System Guide. Thanks and credit to Martin R.
Driver Device Type ID's have been stored in the upper nibble. However, running out of ID's, I have changed them to occupy the entire byte.
This is a breaking change, so I have updated the minor version number to maintain integrity between components. So, v3.3 will never become a stable release and I am moving directly to v3.4.
Added a new driver category for DSKY (Display/Keypad) devices. Existing DSKY devices were converted into drivers ICM and PKD. These devices were previously DSKY and DSKYNG.
This removes substantial code duplication and recovers significant space in romldr and dbgmon.
- Modified the Disk Device function call (DIODEVICE) to provide new attributes related to disk size and removability.
- Leveraged API change to allow handling drive assignment differently depending on ATAPI vs. ATA interface.
- Added ability to enable VGARC and front panel in default config without I/O conflicts (does **not** support having both types of hardware present at the same time).
- Fixed documentation error in issue #345 reported by @MorfeoMatrixx.
