Use of V.USB1-1 vs V.4-0 by jukebox

I wonder why "Another QNX Image" V.4-0 has so many more downloads/users than "QNX Audrey Platform" V.USB1-1.
Both are identical in stucture, performance and ease of use for modem and ethernet users alike right "out of the box" for all original Audrey supported hardware.

On top of that V.USB1-1 supports some other features such as USB support for some pegasus nics, microsoft and MAC mice and some keyboards and has a bunch of utilities built in, such a nice and renice and more. Also USB1-1 allows you to use the full tcpip stack and by downloading scripts right into Audrey you can do some other nice things, but it's your choice if you want to do that or not. Again "out of the box" all features are identical in both images.

I highly recommend the use of USB1-1 because that's the image that can be upgraded to future versions of QNX, while V.4-0 allows for the addition of a couple of apps alone at best and that's it. There is not much extra possible there, while V.USB1-1 is only the start of more to come.

hrmmm...

the way they were listed I just kind of thought the version 4.0 one was newer than the usb 1.1 one. after hearing this i'll probably reflash to the usb 1.1.

No, "Audrey on Steroids" was my first exercise, but I never realized others could be interested in that version and it took me 8 months to find it back in my PC.
"Another QNX Image" was the follow up and a new direction in hacking Audrey and needed several versions over a period of 4/5 months.
I consider "QNX Audrey Platform" USB1-1 the best result of all previous experience.

While I promote here the use of V.USB1-1 over V.4-0 I have rewritten the manual for V.USB1-1 and made it more user friendly, based on the info I have now from some of its users. You can review those changes here: http://www.prins.net/audrey/usb1.html

Playing MP3 from a share is now completely resolved in both of these images thanks to ghansah. He found out how to set the right priority for phjuke with this command to start the app: nice -n-5 phjuke
The nice utility is already included in V.USB1-1 and is available for download in my Aydrey Repository for V.4-0.

I just realized, while V.USB1-1 is already pretty old, it doesn't need a single download or modification to work "out of the box" as advertised with even the newest apps from davinci27 like phjuke using renice.
The many downloads that are available in my Audrey Repository are for the techies, but there is no need whatsoever to use any of them for all standard Audrey supported hardware.
