SCSI Boot

Hang on a second, doesn't v4.5 mean it's newer than v4.15? I've seen some coders using for example v4.15 as sub-revision fifteen as opposed to one-five...

I would have thought v4.5 is better?

I know Phase 5 updated the v8.1 to v8.5 ROM on the SCSI-IV kit because of issues with CD burning etc. BlizKick can do this in software if you have the v8.5 image I believe.

Maybe the same could apply for your controller?

What the hell!?

So sub-revisions of programs don't follow decimal rules?

So for example 30.34 would be newer than 30.33 but 1.5 is older/crapper than 1.49?

That can't be right...

Revisions like chapters of a book? What is this, the Bible?

If they wanted to do that shouldn't it be v4:5 Mark Chapter 13...

:-D

When I use the Commodore Installer and it says "Installed Version" and "Version to be installed" I'd pick v4.5 over v4.15.

Even the Europeans would get confused because they just swap the stop with a comma (./,).

And when I check the datestamp the v4.5 usually is more recent than the v4.15 if you get my meaning.

But seriously, there is no need to argue about this as Ralph Babel who wrote the driver writes on his page that 4.15 is more recent than 4.5.

Yeah, but look at what motrucker said:

by motrucker:
It all depends on who put the software out. GVP followed one set of upgrade numbers, but no one else is forced to follow suite.

And, patrik... that link talks about nothing but GVP drivers (which for some reason give me that 'low quality' vibe).

:-D

Piru: If you are one of the coders that subscribes to this madness consider me on your 'Persons likely to strangle me' list!

EDIT: And what happens when things get like V4.5.15?

Is that the fifteenth sub-sub-revision of the fifth sub-revision of version 4?

You've got to be kidding me! That's more arse backwards than manufacturers calling a Megabyte "1,000,000 bytes' (when it should be 1,048,576 bytes).
