Hi.
Somehow i missed your post.
willy

Thank you for replying. I was curious about your project. I developed a similar software called ALibPc. My software currently uses VCP drivers, but I am also developing a D2XX version. I develop and test on Windows, i don't currently have a Linux version.

Just for your information, I was testing Kafar.  I have two serial-to-USB converters connected to my PC. Kafar can detect both converters, but can not access the drive connected to one of them. If I remove the extra converter from the PC then everything is OK.

Przede wszystkim nie korzysta z windowsowego API obsługi portu szeregowego.

Does Lotharek's version of KAFAR really use VCP, or does it use D2XX API like the original KAFAR?. When I monitor the serial port i see no activity at all. If that's the case why KAFAR doesn't access my MegaSpeedy 1050 at high-speed? The original version of KAFAR (non Lotharek version) can. I am kind of confused!


Czy wersja KAFAR Lotharka używa VCP, czy też używa API D2XX, tak jak oryginalna KAFAR ?. Kiedy monitoruję port szeregowy, nie widzę żadnej aktywności. Jeśli tak, to dlaczego KAFAR nie ma dostępu do mojego MegaSpeedy 1050 z dużą prędkością? Oryginalna wersja KAFAR (wersja inna niż Lotharek) może. Jestem trochę zdezorientowany!

If you think that GPL is evil and communist and die, the you should stop using GPL licensed software. That the only way :P

And do you really believe this, are you telling me that you don't have a single copyrighted software that you acquired illegally (meaning by violating it's licensing requirements). If i lived enough on this earth I know the answer to that question, so you can consider it rhetorical :-)

Thankfully there is a lot of great software with better licenses. And I asked you to spare yourself the comments :) adam

20 years ago I knew GPL by heart and was a GNU/FSF fanatic, I know the license and its usage ramifications. I just don't care about these 'problems' anymore since in real life everyone is violating the GPL all over the place - just not under the scrutiny of anyone to know and take actions.

Hi Syscal, I am not worried about anything but thank you for heartening comments, and I agree the worst that can happen already happened to me. On the other hand the zealots over at Atariage finally got off their asses and started to do something about respeqt (or at least they appear to do so). If we all work for the community (as we claim to do) that's nothing bad, in fact it's actually more benefit to the community.  I know a lot of people who couldn't care less about GPL or licencing in general. I am not selling the software and I only do this for hobby and for the sake of learning, and i enjoy seeing people use it.  And the moment I change my mind, there is nothing preventing me from "pulling the plug" on development, but I fail the see who's going to benefit from that other than a few zealots who think they are the GPL police (while they themselves develop proprietary software).


As for the paranoiac, extremist Stallman, all I can say, he can continue to chew on his foot cheese :-)

Ehhh, we don't want to hear your history. You've just violated terms of GNU General Public License, version 2 I think. Face with that and stop ignoring this and filling this thread with that nonsense. We're not interested in anything else except that violation of license agreements.

I don't recall addressing you, but for your entertainment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ&feature=player_embeddedand then go kiss him from his hands (if you have the stomac for it) :-)

If I may suggest something: it deserves a separate news on the main page... Just to cut the b*llshit and to document this GPL violation for the future.

Look, I don't want to start a war here, you don't know my intentions, so go easy with the accusations. The fact that i don't want to discuss copyright issues here doesn't mean I ignore them, I will be in contact with the copyright holders and get some sort of agreement, but I am not in liberty to discuss this here or anywhere else.

And BTW, it's impossible to snatch a GPL'd project from it's developers hands.

Well, theoretically it looks impossible, in practice though that's what happened. I've been developing AspeQt since Fatih left the scene. Since then there were nobody willing to participate in development, save a couple of people who did some language translations. And then the gang at Atariage, lead by, you know who, were always on my case because I expressed my opinion on the software he was developing. They practically forced me to abandon the AspeQt thread that I always was using to keep the community informed about the progress. (I suggest you review the last few pages of that thread and see how they turned it into garbage). And finally the person who was always on my case managed to get my account inactivated, so I can no longer participate. If was doing AspeQt for commercial gain I wouldn't give a hoot, besides I wouldn't be on Atariage to start with. Look at Steven of AtariMax, how often does he participate on discussions there. All that finally led me to withdraw my changes from Sourceforge. I didn't touch the original code though. Krotki promptly re-uploaded some of the code that I withdrew. Then somebody else started a fork, renamed it to respeqt, removed anything related to me (except the few copyright notices he felt he should not touch). Knowing him and the history of his relationship with me on Atariage, I know that was a reactionary action. And as i expected, he never did anything serious with it other than "sanitizing" it.  So to make the long story short, while it is theoretically impossible to snatch the development of GPL app from someone's hands, in practice it can be pretty close to it by blocking that person from accessing the community, and making it very difficult for him to connect with his supporters. And the fact that I am posting this, in this Polish speaking forum, is the best proof of that.

See how many forks linux kernel has: https://github.com/torvalds/linux. 12066

That's right, and it is exactly why linux is so messy, had it not been for the community, i wouldn't touch that OS. There is a good reason why it never catches on the desktop. People who don't care about the source but care about the reliability, the timely support and documentation go elsewhere. Also, Torvalds says "I supported GPL2 because, i want to share my code and I want to get something back in return (other's code)", look what I've got back instead :-)

And here we are, some people accusing me with breaking copyright laws, and that is coming from individuals who had no problem copying, hacking and distributing copyrighted work during Atari's haydays and even today. Can you honestly say that you respected the copyrights of all the software you collected over the years? If you can, then don't take my words personally.

I am all for sharing, but sharing for nothing in return does not appeal me. You can count on the next software coming from me won't be GPL licenced. Now you can go ahead and post whatever you want on the front page, where "it deserves to be".

I am not going to discuss licensing issues with you, since you know all about it, you can make your mind up yourself, like others do...so long..

So, can we expect you to explain what's actually going on?

What's going on is that I am still developing the software, and it is still free to anyone who cares to use it. I am not just snatching a project from it's developers hands (re; "RespeQt") and sitting on my ass, doing nothing but removing all "Ray" related references from it. Accusing "Ray" for promoting his hardware through his links and references, yet adding noting of any tangible value to it other than a "Mac Address locked" Bluetooth device support, only to promote somebody else's really generic but "soft locked" run of the mill, off the shelf Bluetooth dongle. Hey, that's fine with me, it is also fine that I have to write on a "Polish" speaking board in English from an ocean away. What is not fine, is people like you trying to teach me a lesson, a lesson I have no interest in listening.

So to answer your question on licences and source codes and such..... wait and see..

Adios

Are you trying to add some value to AspeQt that you took over, or is it there just to prove that you can upload some source code to Sourceforge?

Wiem że, temat był wałkowany, ale jest rozrzucony po różnych działach i ciężko jest przechodzić po wszystkich postach.

Czy powodem niestabilnej transmisji powyżej hsindex 3 w konfiguracji Atari XL + SIO2USB lotharka + ROM Hispeed z U1MB mogą być nieszczęsne kondensatory na liniach SIO ?

Unstable operation at over high speed index of 3 may be due to several reasons, but in general the capacitors on your Atari is not the cause. I have all my Ataris with capacitors on them but all of them work fine all the way up to divisor 0.

Things that may cause speed problems can be summarized into a few categories:  SIO2PC hardware design, wrong OS/DOS, SIO or USB cable length, out of spec Pokey or PIA, interference from other devices, or emulator software problems. If you need more specific info I have a "Troubleshooting Guide" on my facebook page
