- TRS>All 060 cards use a special 68040 library.

- Sorry for the missunderstandable formulation. I've told about the 040
- version of the card. And the problem, you can't use the most important MMU
- using programs is a big minus on the decision to buy the card.
-
- But i have only tested it on a A3000 desktop with on of the latest board
- revisions. I can't make any report on the Apollo 4040 or 4060 in an A4000.

- TRS>`... changes the scsi-address`? What do you mean? There might be a bug
- TRS>in netbsd software or in the Apollo software (be sure to use v5.02).

- I've told about the internal A3000 SCSI controller. The WD-Chip must be
- placed in a adaptor socket with a small wire to the Apollo card. The pin
- the wire is placed on the adaptor socket is removed. An ACT (Apollo
- manfacturer) engineer told me, I must be to get a signal the A3000 havn't
- on the processor socket. He told me too, the SCSI address of the A3000
- SCSI- controler is moved (I guess, the internal hardware address) to
- diverse the necessary signal.
- To do this on the software side the 68040.library is patched.
