If any owners of machines equipped with Rapidus/U1MB/VBXE would like to test the latest U1MB firmware update, I would appreciate it, since a strange issue has been identified with the July 2018 U1MB firmware update concerning FX Core detection on Rapidus machines. Namely, the S_VBXE driver and other software attempting to detect the VBXE FX core would fail to do so. Unfortunately the issue went undiscovered and unreported for nine months, so it doesn't seem widespread/critical, since only one person experienced it. Nevertheless, I could replicate an issue on my own hardware and was able to implement a simple fix. This fix doesn't appear to work for the person who reported the issue, however, so I would like to know if the fix rectifies things for everyone else concerned. If that is the case, then the issue on the 'unfixable' machine may be a hardware problem.
Since the issue was discovered at the last minute and I have had zero response to a request for problem reports on the AtariAge forum, I can only conclude that two machines are affected by the issue, or that no-one else is bothered about it. If I don't hear anything in a few days, the firmware will be released as is.
