They like to stay quiet, esp about the recently discovered Mediator bugs.

Yep I got it sent over from a m8 who just got a new flyer.

I have pasted the History file that seems to note the changes below. I
personally gained more speed out of the new version though, from about
9300000bytes/sec up to 9900000bytes/sec (thats using the supplied
drivespeed program (rounded to nearest whole)
ver.5.7 (19 Jul 2000)
- SCSI Verify command corrected,
ver.5.6 (14 Apr 2000)
- small improvement in detecting ATAPI devices,
ver.5.5 (13 Mar 2000)
- new, faster procedures for detecting all attached EIDE/ATAPI devices,
ver.5.4 (28 Feb 2000)
- support for HDD > 32 GB added,
- procedures for simultaneous work of two devices on two different
ribbons improved,
So version 5.7 isnt that new is it really! It was out when I got my
PowerflyerGOLD and I only got 5.6 with it.

Email Elbox and ask them for it. If you read the instructions that you got
with your disk you would have read the following:
Do you want to receive e-mail updates of the software written
for the PowerFlyer FastATA-2/EIDE Controller?

OK, just send us a message:

subject: subscribe FastATA'99
body: <your name>,
<your e-mail address>,
<your residential/office (snail-mail) address>,
<your ATA3.driver version>,
<serial number of your controller>,
<company/shop where controller was bought>.

The same goes for all of Elboxs hardware.

You shouldnt, unless you have a m8 who has the latest version.
