Ok, here's a few more goodies. The time and date is synchronized with
the host, and there's two versions of the serial driver: one that hides
between the BI and buffers, and another that stomps on the Disk II
driver. The latter is compatible with ProDOS utilities.
There's a little bit in there just for me - I don't expect anyone else
will need it, so I'm not even adding a button on the UI for it. But for
those that need to unit test ADTPro, if you start it with the parameter
'localhost' you can have it serve the virtual serial ports (that are
mapped to IP ports) of emulators. So far it works with AppleWin and JACE.
I needed to stop chopping wood and sharpen the axe... so I could test
the serial version of the virtual drive. It was just taking too long to
make real disks and test on hardware. The bug I was shooting: later
versions of ProDOS hid the Disk II driver at $d800, not $f000...
Anyway, there's a few bug fixes for all the Daves that use the Ethernet
version, too. And all executables are SYS files now.

1.2.5 - September 22, 2012
New functionality:
* [VDrive] ProDOS date and time is set when communicating with
the ADTPro server
* [VDrive] Serial driver installs over the floppy driver by
default
* [Server] ADTPro server serves a hybrid serial-over-IP for
emulators - enabled with startup parameter 'localhost'
Bug fixes:
* [VDrive] Ethernet driver is now more "reentrant," allows for
restarting if the "ping" message doesn't show up right away
* [VDrive] Aborts via escape key are more reliable, Ethernet
now recovers correctly
* [VDrive] Device driver installer filetypes changed to SYS
