Here is a what's new in version 2.0 of FUSION:

* Added SCSI-direct support. Please note that any Macintosh application that attempts to poke at the SCSI hardware port directly will crash. You should now be able to use any Amiga SCSI controller to directly control any SCSI device (ie. DATs, scanners, hard drives, CD-ROM drives, digital cameras, etc.) Here is a list of problem encoutered:

Retrospect 2.0i (and earlier) is not 32 bit clean. You will need to run this program in Psuedo 24 mode or it will not properly store/restore any data.

SilverLining 5.5 (and earlier) hangs when you attempt to do the TIME SCSI LOOP test. This is because SilverLining's custom routines poke at the SCSI hardware directly (which does not exist).

Software that calls SCSI-direct functions from inside of an interrupt will not work. It is not possible to call Amiga SCSI-direct commands from inside of an interrupt. MAC programs (a few CD-ROM drivers) that do this will never get a SCSI status back, but at least they will not crash the machine.

* Corrected OS8.0 problems with 060s. Please note that Apple decided to not allow 060s to work under OS8.0, and thus the only way to make it work is by turning off the SuperScaler. Please do not turn on the SuperScaler after OS8.0 has booted... we turn it off, and leave it off until the emulation is shut down. Yes, your system will run slower.. but there is nothing that can be done about this problem... Apple wants you to buy a PowerPC machine!

* Corrected various ROM incompatibilty problems.

* Added ability to turn off or select one of the 5 internal Macintosh startup sounds.

* Changed Virtual Base setup. Please see the documentation concerning the changes.

* Added memory test option. This is a sure fire way to determine if your MMU is working properly with your memory nodes and to see if you have RAM refresh problems.

* MMU usage is now system friendly if possible, merging into existing tables. This should allow other Amiga applications (run before FUSION) to use the MMU (ie. GigaMem). The new method does not consume additional memory, which was previously required for the MMU table space.

* ALL of the video drivers are new, and not compatible with previous versions of FUSION.

* Changed the Cybergraphics drivers to allow for v2.x or 3.x of the Cybergraphics software. Please note: some of the QuickDraw acceleration routines WILL fail under v2.x, please upgrade... it's free. (http://www.best.com/~vgr)

* Fixed a device entry limitation. Amiga systems with more than 13 mounted devices would not show ALL of the devices (after the first 13 were shown, the rest were ignored).

* Corrected device closing problem, sometimes resulting in a system crash when shutting down the emulation.

* Added new option in the DEVICE OPTIONS sub-menu of the DEVICES menu. Now along with FORCED WRITE PROTECT, DMA RESTRICTIONS, and REMOVABLE MEDIA is the option SKIP VALIDATION. Selecting this gadget (making the check in the box visable) will not allow the MAC to immediately validate a partition. There is a strange problem with OS8.0 with validation, and we believe it is a bug in the intial release of OS8.0 (no other OS has this problem). The problem is this: shutdown improperly (ie crash or do an emergency power-off) and the partition will not boot properly. The next time you attempt to boot, the 'smiley MAC' will appear, the MAC will reset, and this sequence is repeated forever. Skipping the validation of the drive at boot time fixes this problem. Note: validation still does occur, just not at boot time.
