classic OS 4.1 "Virtual Memory"
« on: September 04, 2011, 04:39:12 PM »
on hyperion illustration says that OS 4.1 for classic has paging abilities. Does anyone knows how to enable paging? or is it enabled by default?

Thanks.

I've seen there is no way for a blizzPPC without mediator to have paging enabled....

As I understand, they don't support onboard ide because of PIO 0 and no DMA, Also I think lack of DMA is the reason they don't support FastATA too besides it has fast PIO modes. MAybe FastATA is because of lacking drivers also...

I guess they don't support slow IDE because they didn't want to bother. PPC hardware has decent SCSI anyway.


and now we come to the real problem!
Yes, my blizzard has a decent scsi, but that is NOT supported by OS 4.x!!!!!
So, on BlizzPPCs only internal pio 0 IDE is able to boot OS4.x ..... and as for FastATA.. don't think there is drivers to enable faster speeds....
only Cyberstorms PPCs scsi is supported.
Thing is, that blizzard can have 256MB ram, Cyberstorm only 128...
Oh well.... you can't have it all!
:D
