Major changes:

Auto-extended address mode

Since ILPer v1.43 both internal devices support the "auto-extended address" mode. This could cause a different device addressing in connection with other "auto-address" devices in the same loop. Also this feature may cause trouble with other forthcoming new features. So in consequence the "auto-extended address" mode was disabled by default in v1.44.

If you want to reactivate this feature you have to modify the registry key value HKCU\Software\EmuTools\Ilper\Settings\AutoExtAddr from 0 to 1 or, when you're using the setup-file method, change the "AutoExtAddr" argument in the "[Settings]" section to 1 please.

Device ID for the mass storage device

Since ILPer v1.44 the device ID of the mass storage simulation changed from ID="HDRIVE1" to ID="HP9114B". This improve compatibility with programs written to access HP9114 floppy disk drives which are using the device ID to identify the device address of attached drives.

Thanks for the update Christoph! I installed the new version 1.44 and all seems to be working fine, set up with ILPilbox and 2 instances of ILPer via virtual IL.

Very anxious to learn more about the "forthcoming new features".
