Assign Wedge utility
« on: March 15, 2021, 07:31:10 PM »
Hello.

First I would like to know what this utility really is for.
Somehow I have it in my WBStartup directory, but I don't remember installing it (silly me). My setup is this: A4000/KS3.1.4 with 3.1.4.1 upgrade. The reason I ask, is that this utility crashes almost everytime I boot into WB. "Program Failed (error #8000000B)" whatever that is. Otherwise system seems pretty stable. I have X-Surf 100 with USB module in it, also FastATA card and BigRam 256Mb card. I run one 16Gb Cf card in it at the moment.

I tried to briefly google about this utility, but didn't find any useful answer for what it is for, so please enlighten me. Can I try other similar utility in place of this? I understand that this is some kind of directory path assigning tool, am I right? If so, how it is managed?

O.k. thank you for information on this. So it's such a "clever" program it doesn't need any setup or configuration files, wow.. But still I wonder why this want to crash on me. Is it supposed to be in WBStartup dir?

Or it is patched in by MCP or similar.

And what does that mean? What is MCP?

8000000B suggests something tries to use an FPU that isn't there. Are you sure that AssignWedge is what causes the crashes?
Exactly _when_ does it crash? On bootup?

Yes right after I enter wb screen, some seconds later this error message requester pops up (It says Assign Wedge Program failed, blah blah). If I press suspend button I can continue using machine normally. Oddly, sometimes it doesn't crash (quite rarely). FPU is there, because its full 040/25MHz, original to this machine.

Actually as I made several reboots of machine it didn't crash even once, so I must say that this problem occures only on cold boot.

So to make a conclusion, can this be related to 68040.library?
