In reply to Comment 1 (den):
SPOILER - For those of you who prefer their Boing Bags to be a
surprise, don't read this post. It's a slightly trimmed version of the
BB2 Readme Amigaguide:
Contents of BB2:
The new ROM Update
This Boing Bag contains a new version of the AmigaOS ROM Update. Apart from the
previously mentioned new Shell, it contains a bug fixed and updated Exec
multitasking kernel, a boot menu that supports monitors that no longer support
15KHz modes, as well as improved drivers for IDE harddisks connected to the
internal Amiga IDE controller. The new IDE driver should now recognize
additional IDE harddisks correctly.
Note: We cannot guarantee that the ROM Update works properly on each hardware
and software configuration that can run AmigaOS 3.9 with Boing Bag 3.9-2. Thus
we have only provided limited warranty and limited support for the ROM Update:
If it doesn't run on your system, please use the ROM Update supplied on the
AmigaOS 3.9 CD or do not use the ROM Update at all. You might also try skipping
certain parts of the ROM Update by using SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES. Amiga Inc. and
HAAGE&PARTNER are not obligated to ensure that the ROM Update works on your
system.
Harddisk support
Support for harddisks larger than 4GB has been completed: Support for some big
drives has been enhanced - reading their geometry data should now work. DiskCopy
now also supports big harddisks. All other parts of AmigaOS 3.9 - including
device driver, file system and formatting utilitiy - already had support for
large harddisks before.
HDToolBox now hides additional unsuitable devices and provides the means of
adding further devicenames to hide via its new icon tooltype or shell argument
HIDEDEVICES.
