The specific cause of said compatibility issue – though apparently observed via tech analytics to be Rapidus itself – remains unknown or undisclosed in any detail, but since it exists, and since the attitude of Rapidus developers still appears to be ‘Works here, so everything is fine’, ‘Your U1MB firmware must be to blame’, ‘the U1MB hardware must be to blame’, ‘Your opinion has no crediblity’, or any one of several other repetitive rebuttals, I have decided to withdraw all Rapidus support from the U1MB firmware and driver collection. This includes the ability to activate and deactivate the Rapidus core in software, and the ability (via the RAPIDISK.SYS driver) to double the HDD bandwidth on SIDE2/XEL-CF systems in the presence of the 20MHz 65C816 CPU.</p> 437<p>When I first received Rapidus in 2016, I immediately found it puzzling that the issues I could observe on both stock (with SIDE2) and any randomly selected U1MB equipped machine were regarded as difficult or impossible not only to reproduce, but even to entertain. As a competent hardware installer, it was obvious to me that one statistical certainty is that any other European PAL Atari user with a Rapidus, U1MB and half a dozen Atari machines would be able to replicate the issue if an attention span of more than twenty minutes could be maintained. Nevertheless, my inability or unwillingness to ship a single randomly selected machine from my collection to Poland for ‘diagnosis’ was promoted as the single immovable obstruction in the way of actually finding a solution to the problem. Moreover, I was accused of undertaking a smear campaign against the hardware (for which I nevertheless developed software), constantly criticising the device (the installation of which I repeatedly and in great detail documented on video, presumably advertising the product in the process), and of not wanting the problem to be fixed (regardless of the hours of troubleshooting I undertook and stability fixes I tested).</p> 438<p>In December 2020, the U1MB hardware or fimware apparently remains a prime suspect (in the eyes of Rapidus developers) as a cause of problems, regardless of the fact issues were observed with both generations of U1MB firmware, and even with or without U1MB present at all. Moreover, while going about my general business of answering operation queries from users of U1MB/Rapidus combos (since I provide software explicitly to support the interaction of both devices), I cannot do so without being harried, contradicted and fact checked by the Rapidus firmware developer (about whose softw
438are contributions to Rapidus I do not even have any complaints; indeed, they deserve nothing but praise). I have therefore chosen to entirely wash my hands of Rapidus, and this means withdrawing all U1MB plugins and drivers related to Rapidus operation. Only by doing this can I wholly avoid involvement in any future discussions of the Rapidus hardware, and thus avoid being drawn into tiresome quarrels or being obligated to provide technical support for problems which no-one can clearly identify or fix.</p> 439<p>I realise the Rapidus plugin and HDD accelerator were probably of niche interest, so hopefully the deprecation of both will not cause anyone great inconvenience.</p> 440<p>Meanwhile, I will no longer be installing Ultimate 1MB and Rapidus in the same machine, since I consider the combination to be problematic and therefore resistant to any level of quality assurance.</p> 441 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 442 443 <footer class="entry-meta"> 444 This entry was posted in <a href="https://atari8.co.uk/category/news/" rel="category tag">news</a> on <a href="https://atari8.co.uk/discontinutation-of-u1mb-plugin-and-rapidisk-sys-driver-for-rapidus/" title="7:14 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2020-12-07T19:14:02+00:00">7th December 2020</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://atari8.co.uk/author/admin/" title="View all posts by admin" rel="author">admin</a></span></span>. </footer><!-- .entry-meta --> 445 </article><!-- #post --> 446 447 <article id="post-168467" class="post-168467 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news"> 448 <header class="entry-header"> 449 450 <h1 class="entry-title"> 451 <a href="https://atari8.co.uk/ultimate-1mb-incognito-side-side2-1088xel-xld-firmware-update-version-3-10-released/" rel="bookmark">Ultimate 1MB, Incognito, SIDE/SIDE2, 1088XEL/XLD firmware update version 3.10 released</a> 452 </h1> 453 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 454 455 <div class="entry-content"> 456 <p>I am pleased to announce the release of version 3.10 of the Ultimate 1MB, Incognito and SIDE firmware, incorporating the recently released <a href="http://sdx.atari8.info/index.php?show=en_download_release">SpartaDOS X 4.49</a>, and version 4.0 of the SDX ‘soft-driver’ for SIDE, MYIDE, and Colleen.

Unfortunately the ROMs hosted on the official SDX site were put together before I released the updated APT tools and SDX soft-drivers. As ever, however, SDX ROMs for all platforms are included in the new firmware release, with the extra tools I like to provide (notably the LSDEV and LSDSK utilities on the CAR: volume). Note the plethora of ATR disk images I provided in prior updates has been done away with; all ROMs for U1MB and Incognito are included on the corresponding ‘FIRMWARE.ATR’ disk image. This makes the preparation of subsequent updates a little less labour intensive.</p> 479<p>
479Please look at the updated README files in the ZIP archives for complete descriptions of the archive contents.</p> 480<p>I hope you enjoy the updated firmware and tools, and as always I welcome feedback including bug reports and feature suggestions (although we are rapidly reaching the end of the road when it comes to available code space on the existing hardware). <a href="https://www.paypal.me/flashjazzcat">Donations</a> are likewise welcomed and appreciated, although they are by no means obligatory.</p> 481<p>Special thanks to Lotharek at <a href="https://lotharek.pl/">lotharek.pl</a> for his continued provision of Candle O’Sin’s fabulous U1MB, SIDE2 and Incognito devices, and for offering my firmware pre-installed at the point of sale. Please continue to support his invaluable efforts.</p> 482 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 483 484 <footer class="entry-meta"> 485 This entry was posted in <a href="https://atari8.co.uk/category/news/" rel="category tag">news</a> on <a href="https://atari8.co.uk/ultimate-1mb-incognito-side-side2-1088xel-xld-firmware-update-version-3-10-released/" title="3:36 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2020-04-24T15:36:40+01:00">24th April 2020</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://atari8.co.uk/author/admin/" title="View all posts by admin" rel="author">admin</a></span></span>. </footer><!-- .entry-meta --> 486 </article><!-- #post --> 487 488 <nav id="nav-below" class="navigation"> 489 <h3 class="assistive-text">Post navigation</h3> 490 <div class="nav-previous"><a href="https://atari8.co.uk/blog/page/2/" ><span class="meta-nav">←</span> Older posts</a></div> 491 492 </nav><!-- .navigation --> 493 494 495 </div><!-- #content --> 496 </div><!-- #primary --> 497 498 499 <div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> 500 <aside id="text-4" class="widget widget_text"> <div class="textwidget"><p><a class="fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-dollar fasc-style-bold" style="background-color: #f07027; color: #ffffff;" href="https://www.paypal.me/flashjazzcat">Donate via PayPal</a></p> 501<p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=5887000" data-patreon-widget-type="become-patron-button">Become a member!</a>
