- I already tried this. Somewheres in my code there's a bug I can't find, and
- the machine hangs. So I've added an option to disable fastram. And one to
- boot straight into a FASTKICK. Unfortunately this will cause you to loose 512k
- - 768K of fastram (I needed somewhere to put the mmu tables, so I had to steal
- the bottom meg of fastram for them. the kickfile goes into the top, ala
- bootroms) so I added an option to map this to c00000 ram, which the system
- thinks is DMA'able, but isn't and causes the scsi.device to hang. So I added
- an option to disable the scsi.device. Pretty sick hey.
- When I get a terminal program I will mail the source to DaveH and the binary to
- a couple of people who have offered to test it on some GAMES. I may put the
- binary in the ftp site here, if they let me.
-
- A better idea will be to do a completely new program to do it the same as the
- bootroms. This will be HEAPS more stable and use less ram. I may do this over
- the weekend, and make it a cheapo shareware thingo. No I'm NOT going to copy
- any C= code, I already know how they did it. Very clever. :-)
