Gideon has finally released the latest firmware 1.6, and as of now it is Open Source !

Check: http://www.1541ultimate.net/content/ind ... &Itemid=21

I'm not sure why this is supposed to be 'funny', but "the hardware still needs to be documented" still puts me off. Reverse engineering is nice hacking activity, but a great waste of effort to learn something... I think Gideon was offended when I told him I threw my 1541 Ultimate in the trash.

I just couldn't bring myself to use it, because the incredibly annoying scroller was so incredibly annoying. I know it can be turned off now, but I also heard the updates are bricking the cart, so that doesn't make me want to try an update. Maybe I'll check it out in 2012 or so.

There were problems with the Ethernet, but is seems way more stable with firmware 1.6. At current the freezer still needs work.
