-
- Personally speaking I love my GVP A1230 Turbo II+ :)
-
- This command remaps the Kickstart into 32 bit 60ns FastRAM!
-
- : Well I did, and now I get an error on booting: 'GVPCpuCtrl unknown command'

- : Any suggestions?
-
- Well yes actually. First and obvious question is do you have any FastRAM on
- the board? You need at least 4 MB on the board to remap the ROM. If you
- don't have any FastRAM, you will usually find your A1200 slower than a
- vanilla A1200. So buy some now.
-
- Assuming you have at least 4 MB FastRAM, you need to copy the GVP Drawer
- from the install disk into your System drawer on your boot partition.
-
- Then put this command in your s:User-Startup file:
-
- run >nil: <nil: sys:utilities/gvp/68030/gvpcpuctrl fastrom=on
-
- That's it.
-
- BTW you do have the install disk don't you? If you have any further
- problems drop me an email and I'll sort them out.

- HTH
