-
- V2.41 Similar bug to 2.37 fix, except this time it
- was the MAPROM function giving the wrong version
- whereas last time it was the KICKROM function.
- This fix fixes all of them.
-
- V2.40 Found a BIG BUG with the KICKROM to FASTROM
- conversion routine. When trying to find the
- reset handler the code started with the wrong
- pointer and could go away forever looking for
- it. This would cause a complete hang or crash.
- This has been corrected in this version.
-
- V2.38 - V2.39 Skipped these version numbers.
-
- V2.37 The loading screen was showing the wrong
- version number of kickstart. This is now
- corrected.
-
- V2.36 Changed some of the error strings for memory
- allocation failure. This may help some users
- understand the reason for failure.
-
- The sound routine was only ever called when
- using KICKROM. I have now added this into the
- MAPROM function.
-
- Changed 'blind' 3 second delay before rebooting
- to a 3 second on screen countdown delay to
- both KICKROM and MAPROM functions.
-
-
- V2.35 Added a picture of a 68040 chip while loading
- instead of the boring old grey screen. There
- was a very minimal increase in executable size
- for this addition.
-
- V2.34 Many users have had problems as the manufacturers
- of their 68040 cards have not been setting the
- MEMF_LOCAL attribute of their local memory and
- Set040 needs this type of memory. I have added
- with reluctance a NOLOCAL option to the command
- line that make Set040 ignore if the memory it
- gets is local or not. I cannot guarantee that
- this will fix your problems, but if the highest
- priority memory in your system is LOCAL, then it
- should be ok.
-
- LOCAL memory is the type that does not disappear
- from the system upon a reset, but can be accessed
- shortly after reset.
-
- V2.33 Changed the kickstart loading screen so that it
- displays the internal kickstart version/release
- number rather than 2.x or 3.x etc.
-
- V2.32 Added a kickstart checksum routine to the MAPROM
- function, to make it functionally equivalent to
- the similar KICKROM function. This saves you
- having to checksum a kickstart if you have made
- changes to it.
-
- V2.31 Made slight changes to the MAPROM option and fully
- tested it on my new A4000.
- NOTE. The MMU *must* be off for this option to
- work, boot with no startup-sequence before attempting
- it, or place it before 'setpatch' in the startup-sequence
-
- V2.30 Added a 'MAPROM' option. This gives the ability for the
- A3640 card or A4000 to load a different kickstart and
- allow it to survive a reboot without using the MMU.
-
- V2.21 Fixed a bug in the KICKROM from an A1000 kickstart
- disk, there was a bug in the 'Delay' code that would
- cause the program to wait forever.
-
- V2.20 Now sees the new 68040.library MMU setup as
- 68040.LIBRARYMMU instead of ALIENMMU.
-
- V2.1 Large changes due the lastest version of 68040.library
- making use of the MMU. Please read the entire doc file
- so you understand the differences between, V1.0 and V2.0.
- Read the 'YOU_MUST_READ_ME' document so that you can
- understand the differences in the V2.1 release.
-
- V2.0 First release of new version
