I never experienced this which may have been fixed by the new power-management code.* Under some circumstances, the Newton is locked. This includes situations when the 3Com's driver is installed or when one installs packages such as NetHopper. I've been able to reproduce the latter, and the Newton loops into a system function (TFrameRelocationGenerator::Update) for an unknown reason.* Some cards cannot be written to by the driver. This is why some users experienced problems when partitionning.ATA Support 1.0b7* Some users have reported that when there are some packages (such as NetHopper) on an ATA store, bad things happen when the Newton goes to sleep and this causes the system to restart.

I've been able to reproduce the latter, and the Newton loops into a system function (TFrameRelocationGenerator::Update) for an unknown reason.* Some users reported a weird error when partitionning some ATA cards which are nevertheless recognized by the driver. I never experienced it.* Some users reported an abnormal slow transfer speed of some ATA cards.ATA Support 1.0b6* Some users have reported that when there are some packages (such as NetHopper) on an ATA store, bad things happen when the Newton goes to sleep and this causes the system to restart. I never experienced this and this new version might have fixed the problem (reports are welcome).* Under some circumstances, the Newton is locked. This includes situations when the 3Com's driver is installed or when one installs packages such as NetHopper. I've been able to reproduce the latter, and the system loops into a system function (TFrameRelocationGenerator::Update) for an unknown reason.ATA Support 1.0b5* When there are some packages (such as NetHopper) on an ATA store, bad things happen when the Newton goes to sleep and this causes the system to restart.* There seem to be some incompatibility with the driver of the ethernet card 3C589.* Aesthetic bug: the names of partitions seems to be eaten (y becomes v).ATA Support 1.0b4* When there are some packages (such as NetHopper) on an ATA store, bad things happen when the Newton goes to sleep and this causes the system to restart.* Stress-testing showed that bad things happen after a transaction hasn't been cleaned properly.* There seem to be some incompatibility with the driver of the ethernet card 3C589.* Aesthetic bug: the names of partitions seems to be eaten (y becomes v).ATA Support 1.0b3Bugs that I can reproduce:* When the store is full, bad things usually happen.Bugs that I can't reproduce (please send me a log if you experience them)* Under some circumstances, eMates reboots when they're closed.* Under some circumstances, there is an error -10059 when a card is inserted.ATA Support 1.0b2* Erasing a store sometimes lead to an error if the data are corrupted.* When the store is full, bad things usually happen.* Under some circumstances, eMates reboots when they're closed.* Under some circumstances, there is an error -10059 at startup for each of the non ATA card inserted (anyone experienced this?)ATA Support 1.0b1* There is no known bugs as I'm writing this.ATA Support 0.1a2* The name of the stores isn't updated properly when the card is initialized. * There surely is at least one bug left in the store model. ## ============================================================================ #### I think there's a world market for about five computers. #### -- attr.
