Latest 1.2 Version: SmartLink 1.2 Beta 8
Release Date: Mar 11 2003 12:00AM

New Features

Watchdog functionality added to SmartLink to reset video if necessary
Version Added: SmartLink 1.2 Beta 2
A watchdog was added to the SmartLink to check the current state of the system every second. This was added to address problems some users have encounted with the video chip registers being reset periodically. Additional command line control has been added. #WV+ will enable automatically reconfiguring the video chip if an error has occurred (the default setting) #WV- will disable the auto-reconfigure When the auto-reconfigure occurs the monitor will likely make a clicking sound and the image will jump around. If running a debug compilation of SmartLink the resets can also be monitored by entering #Yd256 over a terminal connection.
