Title: Whichamiga crash
Post by: srg86 on January 21, 2005, 08:48:52 PM

I have an A1200 with a Blizzard A1230 IV (MAPROM on or off) expansion board with 16MB FAST RAM and 512MB hard drive.

When I run whichamiga it crashes my amiga. totally locks up

I ran it in debug mode and the last thing it got to was

DEBUG 9: MMU1

and then it crashes.

could this be because of a faulty MMU?

thanks

Piru said that WhichAmiga is not guaranteed to work with every setup and that its reliability is questionable, as any development of it has been stopped.

Anyways, don't worry. B1230-IV crashes when used with WhichAmiga. It happens here as well.

Some turbo-cards work, some don't.

Try SysSpeed for similar configuration reports.

I see

What's the best way of testing that I have a functioning MMU?

Maybe using VMM and taking out my fast RAM?

Click on ShowConfig under SYS:Tools. It should report if MMU is present. SysSpeed should also be able to do it. SysInfo too, however if the MMU is not active, this program may classify it as non-existing so I wouldn't recommend it.

So if I had a defective MMU (my 030 is not EC BTW) it would just never show up as detected.

Percisely.
BTW, if you have a B1230-IV, by default these came with a full 030. If you really want to see the MMU in action, then perhaps someone could suggest an application that directly uses it?

What about VMM or gigamem (are any of these free BTW?).

UPDATE: All is fine, running VMM quite happily.
