Press Release: Generic MassFS V1.00 released for the STD USB card

Sunday, March 28, 2004 - 12:12 AM, (2677 Reads)

Stuart Tyrrell Developments have sent us a press release about their Generic MassFS product for the Simtec USB card. We've not included the entire release but the main highlights can be found below...

Stuart Tyrrell Developments are pleased to announce the immediate availability of an extension of their MassFS mass-storage drivers for the Simtec/STD USB card, MassFS V1.00 Keen to build upon their model of offering support to those users who've purchased products from them, STD are extending their MassFS support by offering users the chance to try out other devices and submit working configurations for the benefit of other users.

Quoting the press release:
The new MassFS implementation is this:

People who purchase USB devices from Stuart Tyrrell Developments will receive a fully supported version of MassFS, as before. These versions will present a "support key" for each device which may be used in order to obtain support direct from Stuart Tyrrell Developments. Users without MassFS who wish to use products solely sourced outwith the RISC OS arena may purchase MassFS for UKP10 inc.

In addition to this, MassFS V1.00 allows further mass-storage type devices to be added to a "other devices" file, and the user may experiment with a number of different settings available which cover
many different device implementations. Devices added in this manner with the correct settings are fully functional, however these devices appear
with a different icon and will not yield a "support key".

The first user to supply verifiable settings for each new device back to STD (which do not already exist in the "other devices" file) will receive a version of MassFS for that device free of charge (worth UKP10). These settings will be incorporated into the "other devices" file, which is freely downloadable and available to all users.

Pricing of MassFS is as follows:

MassFS V1.00 and later : UKP10 inc VAT

Upgrade existing MassFS to V1.00 : Free of charge, including support keys for devices already purchased.

MassFS V1.00 with any suitable USB device from STD : Free of charge, including support keys.

Download and use of "other devices" file, enabling many devices to be used (without support) freely : Free of charge.

Issue of support key for devices supported by STD but not purchased from STD : UKP10 inc VAT

Issue of key to first user to successfully report settings for a new device : Free of charge

For further information, please see http://www.stdevel.com/massfs.html,
or contact Stuart Tyrrell Developments.

MassFS V1.00 is a full mass-storage filing system for use with the Simtec/STD USB card. It allows devices such as Pen drives, Card readers, MP3 players, digital cameras and Zip drives to be used.

MassFS V1.00 enables users to freely add their own devices in parallel to those supported directly by STD, yet gives the option of a formal
support path should this be desired.
