Subject: Econet Rom version differences

I haven't got a list of changes between the versions, but the principal
difference between NFS 3.60 and earlier versions is that the earlier versions
designated Stations above a certain number (240 I think) as protected
stations and they operated slightly differently in terms of the way you could
communicate with them from certain network ports.  I think there is more
information on this in the Econet System User Guide.

I'm not sure what the difference is between 3.34 and 3.35K, it might be
that one is EPROM and the other is ROM but I could well be wrong.

I always thought that both DFS 1.20 and NFS 3.60 were only officially
released as DNFS 1.20.  Again I could be wrong, but if the problem is 
with NFS 3.60 it might be a user modified version.

Best wishes,


Ian

Subject: [BBC-Micro] Econet Rom version differences

I was just wondering if there was either a change log list or perhaps 
someone had some kind of details (bug fixes ?) explaining the 
differences between NFS 3.34 and NFS 3.60 for a B ?

I only have the actual images for 3.34 and also one called 3.35K , but 
have a physical 3.60 NFS rom (not the one that's part of the DNFS rom, 
its a stand-alone NFS rom)

I'm trying to solve a bit of a possible conflict / bug with a game (will 
go into detail about that if needed but I wont at the moment to keep 
this mail short and to the point) :)

Thanks :D


Andy.
