      distributions
  • Detection of new floppy disk inserted in drive

    use Linux 2.4 kernels
    • Support for Red Hat 7.1. and SuSE 7.1 distributions

      has been fixed in kernel 2.4.4.
  • Pentium 4 support
  • Fixes for two issues — misdetection of the clock rate and
    problem that generated a pop-up message referring to unhandled
