MuTools and more updated to V46

[AmiDude]

I am testing Muforce and MuGuardianAngel, and work very nice, providing stability to M1230XA Accelerator.

I've an M1230XA up and running here, and it's very stable without the MU software. I figure: the more little hacks and commands, the more unstable the system becomes.
At least, that's my experience. I'd like to keep my systems simple & original.
:cool:

The 68030 has a particular bug that becomes most apparent on bridgeboards where it causes hangs and that can be successfully worked around by using the MMU, so I wouldn't really call this "becoming more unstable".

The bug is that the 68030 caches long-word aligned long-word writes in its data cache even if the cache-inhibit pin of the CPU signals that it should not to. Typically, the data cache of the 030 is small enough to let programs get away with it, but in particular situations interesting and strange things can happen due to this problem. For example, the CBM bridgeboard software had a loop that was tight enough to run into the issue.

I don't own a bridgeboard and my system is véry stable and doesn't need software workarounds or any other hacks. Ofcourse, I can't speak for other people with different configurations.

[AmiDude]

Actually, where is the hack here?

Well, believe it or not, this 68030 bug is reality. You probably haven't triggered it in your setup, or you haven't noticed or correlated a problem with this bug, but it doesn't go away from not looking. I'm only giving you a particular well-known manifestation of it.

So, you solved a 68030 bug. Good for you. I don't need it. As I said earlier;
My 030 based A1200 system is working perfect. Why change things then?
It's more logical to change things when a problem occurs. Maybe other people
have some use for your little program, but I don't. OK, clear now?

[AmiDude]

And some people like to push their systems "to the limits".  Your point is?  :p

My point is? Read the above. And if people want to push their systems "to the limits",
then that's their choice. I'd like to keep my systems as "classic as possible".
Different flavours for different people.

[AmiDude]

Then why are you trying to speak for other people? If you have no use and aren't speaking for anyone else then I don't see why you'd comment on posts made by people who do have a use for it.

I was refering to a comment from Drummerboy:

I happen to have the same accelerator. So next time, read the whole thread! Your comment to this post isn't constructive. :rtfm:

[AmiDude]

Your A1200 will work perfectly until you throw some software at it that doesn't. If you're happy with that notion, then good for you. Your computer will be better off with Thor's software though; he was only trying to make you aware of a problem that you may not have known about.

I know all that, but for now everything is working perfect with the software I use. If, for any reason I'm gonna try out new software in the future, then we will see how things will work out.

[AmiDude]

This thread is about some new software that some of us are actually pretty excited about (well, I tend to get pretty excited about any development for a 30-year-old computer, lol). You're obviously stuck in the 1980's. Why are you even commenting on it? Go back to playing with your Workbench 1.1.

No need to be so denigrating! Believe me, because I like my systems to be as original and classic as possible, doesn't mean that I'm stuck in the 80's. And I can, like anybody else here, comment on every post. I was refering to Drummerboy's post.

[AmiDude]

I did read the whole thread. Next time don't make wild assumptions before throwing around accusations.

The same counts for you also..

But if you don't want to run it then congratulations, you don't have to.

Duuuhh... that was my point all the time!

[AmiDude]

Wow, thanks for turning an interesting thread about new software development into some bullsh**.  Another one for the block list. Good job, jackass.

Oh yeah?! You started it by your childish coment: "Go back to playing with your Workbench 1.1"

Who do you think you are with your big mouth?! In real life you're a nobody!
Arrogant maggot! I squash you like a worm! :python:

[AmiDude]

@Oldsmobile_Mike

I was about to post the same as your BS comment. Thanks!

Everyone was thinking it.
Half the point of my post above was simply an attempt to let Thomas Richter know his efforts are appreciated, and people are interested.

A person doesn't have to be interested in everything released for the Amiga, but a simple "Its not something I'll use, but thanks" is a lot better than making multiple posts, being a jackass, and potentially spoiling other peoples fun.

You're idiots who follow the big mass. Brainless *ssholes!  :destroy:

[AmiDude]

@AmiDude
And you are a big ass.

And why do you come to this conclusion? Did I say something wrong to you?
You also follow the big mass and are therefore also a brainless *sshole!

[AmiDude]

@amidude

So you're saying that being reasonable to a developer for delivering something we're interested in, for free makes us "brainless @ssholes"?

The better option is what? To be a dick instead?

Given the options I'll settle for being a brainless @sshole!.
By the way,... follow the mass? What mass do you think you're talking about? There's not even a dozen people who have responded.
And all seem to agree that you're acting like a dick by the way.

Just give it up. Every comment you make is just making the hole bigger.

*me awaits predictable childish response.

No, I didn't say that if someone is interested in new developped software, is an brainless *sshole. I said that the ones that are gathering behind the biggest blabber-mouth are brainless *ssholes!
Again read my posts better next time! You also have said nothing constructive in this thread. Why are you reacting in this thread any way? You've had nothing to say about the MU software in the first place. You come barge in and go blabber stupid things that makes no sense at all!

[AmiDude]

I just looked at your avatar, dumbass :laughing:

Yeah, you like that, don't you! You dirty o'll wanker! :biglaugh:

[AmiDude]

@amidude

Ironic that you should suggest people read your posts better then go on to display the fact you didn't read certain posts at all....
The *very first* post I made was addressing Thomas Richter thanking him for the new MuTools.
A far cry from your claim that I didn't comment on the software at all.

Also ever consider the fact that people actually agree, hence the reason we "gathered around the biggest blabber mouth"?

You acted like a dick and people called you on it, its as simple as that.
No amount of smoke and mirrors will change the fact.

Anyway, I'm done with this line of conversation. 've said my bit and talking in circles will lead nowhere.

So, now you're trying to turn things around. You're the greatest moron around. Nobodys falling for that. Everyone can see you jumped in to this thread just to provoke things more.
And it's not the first time you did such thing. You sick little bastard!

That's what you were doing all the time. Glad you see it clear now. Now, stop whining and get a grip on yourself! Moron! :quickdraw:
