   Version 1.09.23
----------------------------------------------------
1. release.txt updated

   Version 1.09.22
----------------------------------------------------
1. MP systems are identified by a registry key. Treat them the same as
   IOAPIC systems.

   Version 1.09.19
----------------------------------------------------
1. Check if it is a CardBus card before scheduling DPC

   Version 1.09.18
----------------------------------------------------
1. Do not mark all devices as REMOVABLE in the MPD. This was done to fix an
   issue seen with some of the cards where, when checked the "Removable"
   box in device manager the system gives a bluescreen if the device is
   removed while copying. This was done in version 1.09.15.
   But some how we lost it. Redoing it here again.

   Version 1.09.17
----------------------------------------------------
1. Program bit 0x2 in register 0xA2 for ricoh controller if
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Softex\\WinRoute\\R5C478IIFIX" is set to 1.

   Version 1.09.15
----------------------------------------------------
1. Do not mark all devices as REMOVABLE in the MPD. This was done to fix an
   issue seen with some of the cards where, when checked the "Removable"
   box in device manager the system gives a bluescreen if the device is
   removed while copying.

   Version 1.09.14
----------------------------------------------------
1. Fixed the IOAPIC boot problem. Interrupt is now set to Masked by default.

2. We now check the subsysID and revId of the controller to determine if
   it's a new one.

3. Under TI controllers, we reset reg 0c90 only for the ATA cards and not for
   the other cards. This fixes the WLAN issue and the Toshiba ATA card issue.

4. Modified the logic of interrupt detection for TI controllers in
   the W2K driver. The IREQ bit in PCI REG 0x91 was not a correct
   indicator of the cards functional interrupt (as is the case with
   the CINT bit in SOCKET_PRESENT_STATE). So we had to use a
   peculiar combination of checks for these two bits to detect
   the card interrupt.

   Version 1.09.13
----------------------------------------------------
1. Modifed the logic of scheduling the DPC in the W2K driver.
   For ATAs we will re-schedule the DPC even though it is already
   been done. Where as for all other card types the DPC is
   scheduled only the first time.

   Version 1.09.12
----------------------------------------------------
1. Mark all devices as REMOVABLE in the MPD. This was done to fix an
   issue seen with some of the cards where, unless we check the "Removable"
   box in device manager the system will not assign a drive letter.

2. Fixed the scheduling of DPCs. They will not be scheduled on
   every interrupt but only in those cases where the DPC is
   not scheduled before.

   Version 1.09.11
----------------------------------------------------
1. Added code in Win2K driver to parse the LocationInformation
   registry entry so that it will be language independent.

   Version 1.09.10
----------------------------------------------------
1. Raising and lowering IRQ before and after accessing PCI registers.

2. Inside OnInterrupt routine:
   - Issuing a DPC now only we find our controller.
   - returns TRUE only when we issue a DPC and in all
     other cases, we return FALSE.


   Version 1.09.09
----------------------------------------------------
1. Added IOAPIC support. There are still some problems booting up
   with a Ricoh controller on Win2K

   Version 1.09.08
----------------------------------------------------
1. Check the registry to see if the driver for the PCMCIA controller
   is installed. If not, do not connect to the PCI interrupts and
   show a message to the user.

   Version 1.09.07
----------------------------------------------------
1. Restore cf8h on every PCI access in our driver. This fixes
   the ATA card file-playing hang problem.

   Version 1.09.06
----------------------------------------------------
1. Added a check in the APP before replacing the PortDriver
   with our MPD. We will do this only if the card is using
   ESDI_506.PDR.

2. INQUIRY cmd in the MPD should be sent to the master
   device only and not to slave. Infact any command coming
   for slave should be sent back with an error. There may
   be ATA cards that respond as slaves also. This fixed
   the issue where some cards take a long time to configure
   or blue screen.

   Version 1.09.05
----------------------------------------------------
1. Fixed the issue when two cards are inserterd at same time
   the machine will generate spurious int and hang. To bypass
   the generation of spurious interrup we where disabeling
   them thru 4d0/4d1.This will work if you insert one card at
   a time,the interrupt is generated when we issue ide cmd
   before we install interrupt handler.So the fix is don't
   issue any ide command until we install the interrupt handler.


   Version 1.09.04
----------------------------------------------------
1. win9x/mpd/driver.c ->FindDevices().
   some ata cards generate int when we send them any
   command like inquiry, even though we told  them not
   to generate interrupt's.
   Since we are not yet hooked to catch them system trap's.
   We could solve the problem by setting bit 7 of 0x3e register
   of parent (pcmcia controller) to 1 and at the end of this
   function reset it.
   But at this point we don't know who the parent is and in which
   slot the cards is in. so to solve this problem we put this hack
   in place.disable the interrupt in 4d0/4d1 here and re-enable it
   at the end of the function.
   //RC:12/16/2001.


   Version 1.09.03
----------------------------------------------------
1. In the timer, if the card is unconfigured, set BridgeControl to PCI.

   Version 1.09.01
----------------------------------------------------
1. Added loop in DPC to fix ATA cards MPEG2 problems.


   Version 1.09.00
----------------------------------------------------
1. Added DPC to forward interrupts.
2. Inside the DPC, check if the ISA interrupt is masked. If so, the timer
   will keep checking the PIC until it is unmasked and forward the interrupt.
3. Clear ATA status before scheduling DPC. Since the card driver is not
   clearing it sometimes.


   Version 1.08.01
----------------------------------------------------
1. Using the timer to forward interrupts.
2. Clear ATA status before forwarding.
3. Support both TI and Ricoh controller
4. Check Socket Present State for Ricoh, check reg 0x92 for TI


   Version 1.08.00
----------------------------------------------------
1. Load baymgr.mpd for Win98/ME.
2. Chnage the registry for all ATA card to use baymgr.mpd

   Version 1.07.00
----------------------------------------------------
1. Added WinRoute service on Win2K to fix the log-on box shutdown problem.
2. Fixed the wake-up hang with PC cards present by returning TRUE even if
   the interrupts are not from our cards.

   Version 1.06.00
----------------------------------------------------
1. In the interrupt handler, it will check whether the controller is
   enabled before proceeding.
2. Fixed the 3COM 3c589C hang.
3. WinRoute release version sent to Allied Telesis.
4. This WinRoute hooks itself to enabled controllers only.

   Version 1.04.00
----------------------------------------------------
1. Stop timer for ResetBridgeConrol when a shutdown notice is received.

   Version 1.03.00
----------------------------------------------------
1. Setup bitmap is changed
2. Program PCI Command register 4 periodically. Can be enabled/disabled by the
   registry entry HKLM\Software\Softex\Winroute\SetCommandRegister
3. SetCommandRegister and SetDevicePowerState added in the setup.lst file
4. Setup will add "MF" key for Win98.
5. CardBus PCI Command register need to be programmed manually.
