USB Scanners for Tame 0.96 (from Klaus Staedtler)
Tame 0.96 will be a PM-Frontend for Sane, it is currently as Release Candidate at our beta testers. It will be officially available as soon. We got the confirmation from our testers and the NLS-files (it will be available in english, german, japanese, russian and swedish). As there will be a Tame USB version too containing Sane Epson USB (relying on latest sane 1.0.11 build, unfortunately with the bugs in there too, by Maeda Haruyuki) it would be nice to have as many as possible Epson USB Scanners supported out of the box. If anybody has one of the following scanners please drop me a note (please don\'t ask for others, you are only increasing our workload and will get no reply), so I can send you a sane USB build for testing your scanner and getting the scanner-specific settings into Tame.

vCDROM and new vCOMPAT released (from Kiewitz)
VDDs are virtual device drivers for the operating system OS/2 / eComStation. They emulate or restrict access to hardware. They can also add APIs, fix problems or do almost anything in VDMs (Virtual DOS Machines). Just released a vCDROM replacement that has the full functionality of the original one by IBM, but
  • It includes all the fixes from vCOMPAT
  • It won\'t trap on some special pointers sent by the VDM application
  • Checking input/output buffers for segment overflows
  • If a VDM application locks a CD-drive and the session is closed afterwards, the CD-drive is automatically unlocked
  • Workaround for OS2CDROM/CD-ROM IFS bug, that doesnt allow getting handles for a drive, if no CD is inserted
  • Workaround for a buffer-overflow problem, when using a special FSCTL on CD-ROM drives.
  • 100% rebuild, 95% assembly
  • Larger than the original version, because I didn\'t do pseudo-optimizations (like the original one) that also were responsible for the ring-0 traps due mishandling of pointers.
New vCOMPAT v0.32b contains the following changes:
  • Another CD-ROM specific inaccuracy in VDM. Thanx to Max Alekseyev for pointing this out (This bug is actually just worked around, it\'s 100% fixed in my new vCDROM resulting in one device header per CD-ROM drive)
  • Support for vCDROM replacement (disabling of CD-ROM related patches, which will safe realmode-memory)
  • Reworked the realmode injector, uses VDD-space and much less V86 memory now
Source is also available, but only for people that are really interested in. But I won\'t give out the source for people trying to fix the braindead VDM from Windoze eXPeriment. Thank you.
