Change Log

0.2.0

This release requires re-flashing the adapter. Protocol version remains at 3.

Overall

  • added installer (for Linux)
  • bug fixes
  • documentation updates

Adapter

  • support for including config files in oqtadrive.ino
  • support for connecting a rumble motor on Arduino pin D10 (see notes in README.md)

Daemon / oqtactl

  • added initial version of web UI
  • added --reset flag to resync command
  • switched to Go 1.17

0.1.4

This release requires re-flashing the adapter. Protocol version is now at 3.

Adapter

  • indicate sync wait by alternating read/write LEDs

Daemon

  • added resync command
  • added --client option to serve command
  • graceful shutdown
  • integrated Z80onMDR into OqtaDrive code base; Big thanks to Tom Dalby for open-sourcing Z80onMDR Lite! You now no longer need to install Z80onMDR on your system, it's available wherever OqtaDrive can run.
  • less aggressive retry back-off when daemon fails to open serial port; improves boot time in stand-alone setups
  • documentation updates

0.1.3

This release requires re-flashing the adapter. Protocol version is now at 2.

Adapter

  • GPIOs are now switched to INPUT mode without pull-ups when adapter is inactive, to minimize load on signal lines and that way reduce interference with hardware Microdrives.

Daemon

  • freely move hardware Microdrives as a group within the drive chain, or turn them off completely; requires adapter to be first in chain; refer to README for more details
  • changed --port option of oqtactl to --address, to specify full listen address, i.e. host & port
  • bug fix for saving cartridges formatted with earlier Spectrum ROMs - instead of dropping sectors with overlong format records, their records are now reduced to standard length when saving to MDR
  • added MacOS ARM64 build to release binaries
  • switched to Go 1.16

0.1.2

This release contains important bug fixes, so upgrading to this is strongly recommended. It requires re-flashing the adapter. The circuit also has small but important changes.

Adapter

  • circuit update: resistor + diode in WR.PROTECT line, diode in /ERASE line, 9V to Vin via 1A diode
  • fixed WR.PROTECT output pin control (this potentially put the Nano at risk)

Daemon

  • auto-save cartridges in daemon
  • support FORMAT for Spectrums with early ROMs (Issue 3 and older)
  • versioning of serial protocol
  • reject loading of corrupted cartridges; added repair flag to load action
  • offer renaming of .Z80 files to .z80 during load on Linux (.Z80 suffix is not accepted by Z80onMDR under Linux)
  • added status API
  • doc updates & corrections

0.1.1

Adapter

This release does not require re-flashing the adapter. There were no changes to the firmware.

Daemon

  • Support Spectrum Z80 snapshot files via Z80onMDR. You can now directly load Z80 snapshot files into the daemon. They get converted to MDR on the fly by calling Z80onMDR. This requires Z80onMDR to be installed on your system and set in PATH.

  • list command can now also list the contents of cartridges. Just specify a drive with -d or an input file with -i.

  • Added new dump command. This lets you inspect the sectors of a cartridge hexdump -C style:

    $ oqtactl dump -d 1 | more
