New PicassoIV firmware on sophisticated-development.de?

[mousehouse]

Hi,

On the Dutch Amiga forum Tahoe commented on my 3.9 bootdisk issue with my PicassoIV. He pointed out this site for a firmware update, and to my amazement it contains a 7.4 update for the PicassoIV firmware apparently release September 1st 2010!.

Has anybody tried this update?

find it here: http://sophisticated-development.de/software/index.php

Stupid, stupid. Meant to type "7.5 update" !

Really nice to see updates even in 2010

What are the benefits of  the new firmware?

It supposedly fixed an issue with the flickerfixer settings. On some systems a vertical refresh is used that is too low, or settings are not remembered. The thread at EAB is pretty extensive, and there is some discussion on a1k.org as well.

Yes I have it on my PicassoIV and it works fine.
