Title: A tool that copies kickstart to fast memory?
Post by: x56h34 on June 09, 2006, 02:11:16 PM

Which tool do you guys recommend for usage with 030 accelerator cards that don't have the MapROM feature like Blizzards, when wanting to map kickstart to fast memory? Is SetCpu still considered the best for the job?


Thanks.

i never manage to use this trick to my bliz030 even if it has the feature(...) AFAIK the blizkick don't run only at bliz boards but to some more. have you read the guide?

@amije:

You need to jumper the maprom-jumper on the Blizzard for it to work.

I really don't know. :-)
I know that SetCpu can, but this app was written in 1990 by Dave Haynie, and I'm not too sure if it's wise to use it with OS3.9BB2 setups.

but you have nothing to loose if you try. if it's not working just boot with a plain wb floppy and remove the line from ss.
