MasterISO v2.1 Package - August 8th, 1998 ========================================= · Changed various text items inorder to bring them into conformance with the capitalization rules. · Fixed default tool for install disk icon. · Implemented work-around for Kickstart v39; the labels for the CD-ROM Information in the 'CD to CD-R/RW Copy' window would not appear. · In the 'System Check - CD-R/RW drive project', the selected 'Write speed' was being ignored. Behavior is now corrected to utilize the indicated speed. · Fixed track-length problem when trying to write a track from a source that is less than the minimum track length. · Minimum track length is changed to 4 seconds, in conformance with the RedBook standard. · Fixed problem when deleting a directory from the FileManager/CD-ROM project; it may have resulted in a Guru upon saving the project or incorrect values in the Validate File names window. · Fixed problem when aborting the 'Add Files' process that may have resulted in an improper file count. · In the "Target Disc Size" section, changed the 18 minute disc to a 21 minute disc. · Fixed memory leak after generating an ISO volume with deep directories and/or entries replaced with existing multisession entries. CD-R/RW Engine v1.1 ------------------- · Added detection of the Philips 3610 ATAPI CD-R/RW drive. Firmware level v2.x is recommended. · Compensated for the Philips 3610/HP 7100 drives returning table of contents data in non-BCD format. · Fixed detection of CD-R capacity for Sony 92x drives when there is a CD-ROM disc in the drive. · Fixed handling of zero-length index #0's when writing in Disc-At-Once mode with the TEAC, JVC and some Pinnacle drives. Revision 1.0G of TEAC's firmware is recommended to accompany this fix. · Improved handling of read and write speeds for the TEAC, JVC and Pinnacle series of drives. · Added detection for the Pinnacle RCD4X4 and RCD4X12 CD-R drives and the Pinnacle RCDW226 CD-RW drive. · Added detection of the Memorex CRW620 CD-RW drive. · When automatically converting from mono to stereo via the Audio Manager, automatic byte re-ordering was done on only half of the sample rather than the full sample. · Due to an interpretation problem with the ATAPI standard, some CD-ROM manufacturers are incorrectly formatting table-of-contents data. This may lead to MasterISO identifying tracks with negative lengths and other undesirable qualities. MasterISO will now attempt to detect this condition. · Added detection of the Traxdata CDRW4260 Pro CD-RW drive. · Sony SCSI CD-R drives require a minimum track length of 4 seconds. MasterISO will now check for this condition prior to beginning the write operation. · Added support for the TEAC line of CD-ROM drives. · Added detection of the JVC XR-W2001 and the XR-W2020 CD-R drives. · When supplying a CDTV or CD32 trademark file, the accompanying system identifier of "CDTV" was not automatically added, resulting in an un-bootable disc.

Manual Addendum 1.0 ------------------- · With the addition of the firmware updating feature, we proudly present our first manual addendum. Catalogue files --------------- Please note that the alternate language translations provided with MasterISO are considerably longer than their English equivalents. In order to use these translations, you will need to select either a smaller font (ie. ThinpazB by Daniel Mealha Cabrita) or a screen resolution of at least 800x600. If you install any of the catalogue files with the MasterISO installer, your MasterISO will be setup to use the ThinpazB font as a default. We would like to extend a special thank you to Daniel Mealha Cabrita for allowing us to include the ThinpazB font with MasterISO 2. We would also like to thank Sascha Hoogen for providing the German translation and Francesco Dipietromaria for providing the Italian translation.
