RocketWare 2.0 or Betas?
Posted by: eharmon on 2024-01-21 15:54:49 The RocketWare 1.3.2 readme makes the following note: • Sneak Preview of Rocketware 2.0!! The next release of RocketWare will be a MAJOR revision to Rocket. This release will include the following major features: Support for the Mac Ifx and Ilsi Support for QuickTime 1.0 and 1.1 sound Improved Control Panel (Puts the cache settings in the Rocket cdew, not in Radiusware) Radius will notify all Rocket users who have sent in their warranty registration card of the release of Rocketware 2.0, so be watching for it! Some of this was added to the 1.5 release, however it's readme notes: Rocketware v.2.0 was scheduled to be the next Rocketware software update released. However, due to delays in providing QuickTime support, it was decided to deliver version 1.5. This version contains the new features and enhancements already described in this Read Me. Which makes me wonder if there's any 2.0 betas floating around out there with some more features.

I tried putting a Rocket in the IIsi I had, it'll fit as long as you don't have a full-height hard drive, but the Installer rejects it predictably. I'd rather not burn up a power supply or motherboard traces trying to get a (now somewhat rare and expensive) unique accelerator card going on a machine that can't host one.

Yeah, I think they gave up. QuickTime support would be nice though!
