DM41X Update to v2.2 Released

[rprosperi]

A new update for the DM41X was released today, the announcement is available on the SwissMicros' website here:

https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4022

All known bugs have been fixed and the DM41X has been enhanced by adding support for the "Blinky" (aka HP-82242A) IR Printer module. Special thanks to Thomas Fänge for reverse-engineering and documenting the internals of Blinky, which enabled SwissMicros to add emulation for this special module. The details on the Blinky module are published here in the MoHPC Forum:

An update for the DM42 is also coming shortly, stay tuned...

Is it actually DM41X version 2.2 as per the firmware name and reported on the DM41X itself and not 3.22 (I note DMCP is 3.25) or am I missing something?

No you're dead on, the 3.25 is an error I discovered right after posting this message (but neglected to fix here!!) and which should be changed on SM's site by now. Thanks!!

Thanks, Bob and the SM Team!
Mu update went smoothly and it is great to have Blinky on Board!

What is not well known is Bob just might stand for "Blinky on Board".

I am imagining a related Off Image...

Holy crap, finally! Gonna update mine in a moment.

Now if they can just add extended memory data file import/export, it'll be as feature complete as I need it to be.

(Though I certainly wouldn't say no to basic HP-IL mass storage emulation with disk-images stored on the FAT disk...)

HP-IL emulation on USB, if at all possible, would be much more valuable.
