- : 1. The Configure-software on the Amiga-side does /not/ like OS3.1
-
- Ooo... Couldn't TELL ya there... I'm still just runnin' KS2.05/WB2.1...
-
-
- : I have version 1.01 and would like to know if there is any newer

-
- Well.. here I don't know the VERSION I am running... but it's supposed to
- be the latest... here's the VER date I just ripped out of it w/my hex

- I heard Vortex/GVP were not giving anymore updates... but I havn't
- checked it out in a while...
-
-
- : Or if you know the format of the pc286.cfg, I could make my own

-
- Hmmm.. well.. Ijust leeoked at the cfg file... there's a lot of data
- there at the bottom of the config... I don't knwo WHAT the format would
- be or hwo you could change it...
-
- I think I played around with it once trying to get it to be ableto work
- with HD floppies.. but had ZERO luck... always crashed...

- : Crashes after reading large files it seems like.
- : Just a moment ... ( A reboot / pc start later )

-
- Make sure that you have your caches off for the emulator... I do it by
- sticking these lines in my startup...

- Echo "Amiga Release 2.1. Kickstart $Kickstart, Workbench $Workbench"
- SETCPU CACHE

- -----------------------------8<---- THE END ---->8---------------------
-
- So that the cache is turned off before any command is ever echoed to the
- command line and is turned back on AFTER the echo command... this is
- because the PC/286 does not inturrupt the S.Sequence until the first S.S.
- command echos something to the con:... so this config above works nicely
- and I don't have to every worry about the cache.. otherwise.. it will
- crash just about every time...
-
-
- : I've tried numerous settings of RAM-size to no avail. :(
- : I've also tried /all/ cache settings on the '030. Nix.
-
- : 3. HELP! :)
-
-
- Check out the cache thing... I don't know about conflicts with 3.x though...
