Enquiring minds want to know.

Nothing seems to have changed. Have had no crashes today. I don't know the list of fixes or anything. I know this is really disappointing...sorry,don't know much, but my system is running fine.

I just installed the SP2 and there seems to be no problem so far. I also tested my HD speed before and after SP2 upgrade with HDTach and after upgrade it works quite a bit faster. So I guess that the ATA100 fix really works .

I think the main thing of intrest here are three 1394 OHCI fixes. Mostly they seem to be aimed at non-camera devices with controllers not using TI chipsets.

After I backup, I'll try it and see if it fixes the problems that lead me to replace my NEC based Orange Micro card with a TI based Pyro. Later I'll try on my notebook and see if it fixes the problem where I need to remove all USB devices (unplug, not un-install) to be able to output DV back to the camcorder.

If sp2 helps either of these problems I'll post a follow up.
