2.0 Change History

This document describes the changes for the V64.0 release of VS80-DLT1 firmware since the
release of V63.0. The firmware consists of control code that supports VS80.

Enhancement: Due to end of life for the 3436 Read/Write component on the VS80, a design
change was made to incorporate the current SDLT 220/320 Read/Write component. Firmware
changes were required to implement this new component.

 Added new Read Write card distinction method for old versus new VS80
drives. This firmware will load to either version of the product, and will not
load previous versions of firmware on the new drive.

 Early release of the Read Write PCB where Type 1 cards. The new card
that is being release with this firmware is considered a Type 2 card.

 All Type 1 R/W cards will accept this firmware. Versions less than
V64.0 will be rejected by Type 2 R/W Cards.


3.0 Installation and Setup Instructions

This file is a self-extracting WinZip executable file that will self extract to the systems dedicated temporary directory and run via a batch file.  A self-test and bus reset are performed at the end of the update and the device will then be again ready for use. 


4.0  Configuration Information:

The system must recognize that the device is available to the operating system to run either the firmware update or diagnostics.  If the hardware cannot be found in Device Manger than the application layer utilized will not be able to preform it's operations.
