As usual, I still have a queue of unprocessed submissions.... If you've sent in any contributions which don't appear in this release but which I've acknowledged, they are still on my queue and will appear in the future. Still on the queue: more OpenDOS info, the rest of the TI Professional info, lots of chipset info (see NEEDHELP.TXT), .... UPCOMING CHANGES ================ The individual sections of the list will be larger in future releases so that there are fewer parts. I'm planning on 720K per section unless there are strong objections. WHAT'S NEW ========== INTER61 ------- New files: FAQ.LST start of an FAQ -- submissions welcome! updated files: OPCODES.LST new info: over 400k of additions, including: AHA-154x commands, ATASPI, more MSRs (including AMD Athlon), lots of DR-DOS/OpenDOS/PTS-DOS/S-DOS info (with more still to be added), AMIGATSR, MULTIJOY, USB4DOS, VXDLDR, etc. Other changes: INTERxxF and INTERxxG have been merged. Note: I have deliberately omitted the usual renumbering of tables because I still have lots of pending updates referencing tables using the numbering from INTER60 (and there are no doubt some dangling cross-references due to incomplete updating). As a result, many table numbers will be out of order. INTER60 ------- updated files: OPCODES.LST updated programs: INT2WHLP can now handle the new five-character table numbers new info: Econet, VESA(Video Electronics Standards Association) An industry group which sets both hardware and software standards and recommendations. The term VESA is also used to denote compliance with the VESA SuperVGA BIOS Extensions, a standard set of video BIOS functions for accessing video modes of higher resolution than those defined by IBMInternational Busiuness Machines. VBE(VESA BIOS Extensions) The common software interface for video cards providing support for high resolution and bit depth./AF, Matrox VESA-OEM functions, more Soft-ICE backdoor commands, XBIOS, EZ-Drive, Adaptec AIC-7xxx and AHA-152x ports, GEM/ViewMAX, WinTel API(Application Program[ming] Interface) The defined set of calls which a program may make to interact with or request services of the operating system or environment under which it is running. Because the inputs and outputs of the calls are well-defined, a program using the API can continue using the identical calls even if the internal organization of the program providing the API changes., TrLit API(Application Program[ming] Interface) The defined set of calls which a program may make to interact with or request services of the operating system or environment under which it is running.
