Title: Mega-Midget Racer jumpersettings / manual, anyone?
Post by: Ideal on March 21, 2007, 01:03:34 AM

Got any suggestions for this? Particularly interested in jumper settings regarding "W1 wait states" etc.

There's a DMS for that board at Installer Heaven, but I can't remember if there were DOCS included on the disk. I haven't owned that for a looooong time.

I still have one of those in my old 500, but it hasn't been turned on in years. My weak memory recalls that the wait state setting depended on the speed of the memory installed. Now I can't recall if it was wait states for the static memory (where it could load kickstart when it booted) or for the dynamic system memory (fastmem) that came on an expansion card. Either way if you had slower memory (-120 maybe) you needed to set a wait state. If you have faster memory (-80 probably), you could eliminate the wait state and things ran a bit faster. If you don't have static or dynamic memory installed (these were purchased add-ons) then the wait state has no effect. If no one esle has better info, I think I still have the docs here some where.
