- Fixes Serial Ports (COM 1 and COM 2)
Known issue: COM3 is disabled. To fix, add the following registry key to ADSLOAD.REG:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Drivers BuiltIn IrCOMM]
"Order"=dword:5 ; a setting of 3 conflicts with COM3
: 64 MiB DRAM : Pro Hive 20MiB

4.20.15 (7-Mar-2006)
- Adds key to enable back up of hive registry to hidden files[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Platform] "HiveRegBackUp"=dword:1

4.20.12 (4-Nov-2005)
- Registry is now hive-based (stored in flash disk)
- Display driver: enhancements for performance and rotation
- Touch panel driver: 4- and 5- wire meet spec v 1.1
- Backlight driver: Meets spec v 1.0
- Flash disk: Uses FlashFX Pro and Reliance (new license cost)
- USB function port (e.g. ActiveSync): Improved connection detection
- Incorporates Microsoft QFEs Q2 and Q3 2005
- IrDA not implemented
Known issues:
- Contention between flash disk drivers can cause file corruption at boot (observed March 2006).

---

Note: CE build 4.20.12 and later use the Datalight Reliance flash file system. Reliance provides better error recovery from file system corruption that can occur from unexpected power loss during a flash write. There is a slightly higher license cost to use the Reliance flash drivers.
