This tools help you if you work with the CD32 and
have it interconnected to another amiga, i.e. an A4000.
Sorry for the poor documentation; but if you need more
information you could ask me via email (dbalster@uni-paderborn.de)
I wrote this tools to setup a RAD: drive on the CD32,
that uses the here described programs to fix and patch
the CD32 in several ways. I soldered a button directly
onto the IPL0,IPL1,IPL2 signals on the expansion bus
of the CD32; this hack is known as "Level-Seven-Button".
FIXSAD - if you press the L7-Button the SAD (simple amiga
debugger) should be started. on some machines this is
disabled. start this tool to reenable that feature, it
returns if nothing is to patch. note: if you press the
L7-Button and the computer freezes you need that patch.
(sometimes i use an oscillating latch as a "game-break"
on this signal...)
CD32Ctrl - these are the switches:
REQ/S enable system requesters
NOREQ/S disable system requesters (no more "Please Insert volume xyz:..")
CDREBOOT/S enable the reboot on diskchanges
NOCDREBOOT/S disable the reboot on diskchanges
EJECTRESET/S the same as above but implemented in a different way
NOEJECTRESET/S
DOUBLESPEED/S switch to doublespeed (access is faster)
SINGLESPEED/S switch to singlespeed (access is more compatible)
STOP/S stop the drive motor immediately
CDAudio - the switches are described in the CDAudio.c file
CDMotor - a stopper daemon.
run <>NIL: cdmotor 500 ; this starts the daemon.
the given argument is the ammount of ticks to wait between the
CD_STOP's. a tick normally is 1/50 of a second.
Joypad - a scripting utility.
with joypad you can get button combinations and use this in scripts,
i.e.:
joypad RED GREEN
IF WARN
echo 3D enabled.
EndIF
read the joypad.c for more information.
** launcher
**
** this is a simple notification program
**
** launch it on the CD³² and have twin running!
**
** for example:
**
** run <>NIL: launcher RAM:remote
** twin SER 300000
**
** after that copy from the other computer somthing
** executable to ~RAM:remote - it will be started ;-)
