sorry, aber mein englisch ist nicht so toll. wollte auch nur sagen, dass die migamerlin-treiber für xp auch für w2k sind, steht jedenfalls in der readme. aber in der download area werden die amigamerlin für w2k gar nicht aufgeführt, warum?

Stimmt, hast zumindest bei der V2.5 eigentlich Recht, alle vorigen Versionen sind explizit nur fuer WinXP gedacht...

Allerdings waren die bisherigen Treiber, auch wenn sie meist tadellos unter Win2k laufen, speziell an die besonderen WinXP-Probleme angepasst, welche unter Win2000 oft keine sind. Sie verwenden daher nicht selten Kompatibilitaets-Settings, die fuer Win2k evtl. keine optimale Performance ergeben.

Deswegen hatte ich bisher davon abgesehen, sie alle auch explizit fuer Win2000 auszuzeichnen.

Beim AmigaMerlin 2.5 steht es aber in der Tat exakt so in der ReadMe, deshalb wandert der in Kuerze auch in die entsprechenden Win2k Sections ;)
(Hatte ich beim Upload einfach uebersehen :-X )

Hi,

Sorry, but my english is not very great. Just wanted to say that the AmigaMerlin Drivers are for WinXP, but also for Win2000, at least that's stated in the ReadMe File.
However, the Download Area does not list them for Win2000, why is this ?

Actually you are right, at least with the V2.5, however, all previous versions were explicitly compiled with WinXP in mind.

But, even although most of those Drivers run okay under Win2k, they are built around the special Problems and Requirements of WinXP, which are usually not necessary with Win2k...
Therefor, they often use compatibility settings and methods, which might not give optimum Performance under Win2000.

That's the reason I did not include all of them in the Win2000 Driver list as well.

The AmigaMerlin 2.5, however, indeed is meant for both Operating Systems, and it says exactly so in the ReadMe file.
For that reason, I will soon include this one in the Win2000 Driver lists as well ;)
(I simply forgot this detail when I was uploading it :-X )

--- edit ---
Alright, has been fixed, and description updated with latest Info's I received from AmigaMerlin :)

Gruss/Greetings
