- SetPatch (1.3, 2.x, 3.x in C:)
-
- NAME
- SetPatch - Released by Commodore to fix any known
- problems in the KickStart ROMS.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- 1.3:
- SETPATCH [r]
-
- 2.x/3.x:
- SETPATCH [NOCACHE] [QUIET]
-
- 3.1:
- SETPATCH [NOCACHE] [QUIET] [NOAGA]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This should be the very first program run in your
- Startup-Sequence file. When run, the command prints a
- list of the patches (program corrections) made.
-
- KEYWORDS
- r
- An optional switch which lets you use the recoverable
- RAM disk (RAD:) to work on 1.3 machines with 1meg of chip
- ram. If you are using a 1.3 machine and don't know how
- much ram you have, simply run the AVAIL command any
- you'll see. If it is just 512k, then you can't use a RAD:
- device. But, if you have over 512k then you can.
-
- NoCache
- 2.x/3.x only: Lets you disable the data cache on
- accelerator cards. With cache on (default) commands run
- much quicker, but some older programs do not run well (or
- at all) with cache on, so turning it off may help with
- compatiblity of older 1.3 programs.
-
- Quiet
- 2.x/3.x Only: Prevents SetPatch from printing out a
- status report of the patches made.
-
- NOAGA
- 3.1 Only: Prevents an AGA machine from fully enabling
- the AGA chipset. This lets you use setpatch to help you
- run those programs that don't work on AGA graphics chips.
-
- EXAMPLES
-
- 1. To patch 2.1 Kickstart routines without printing a list
- of patches:

- SETPATCH >NIL: QUIET
