A3640 V3.0 refuses to run speed test on SysInfo V3.24 ?!

[motrucker]

Why in the world is everyone beating their heads against the wall trying to get a proven crap program to work?!
Everyone in this neck of the woods calls it MisInfo, to make the point.....
SysInfo _may_ have worked OK back in the early days, with 68K up to 68030 CPUs, but some '030 systems would throw it for a loop.
As some one else said - use SysSpeed. It does work!, and works well with '040 & '060 systems.

SysInfo also works u muppet; Works fine on ALL Amigas I have ever owned & setup, & get Real, its only an "Info" program...not a friggin benchmark.
SysInfo doesn't Bomb out on my A4000T with PPC 604 @ 233 + 060 & 128Mb Ram with SCSI III.

The b*tch about the whole Scenario turned out to be a Bull Sh*t issue with a Cr^p LC version of an 040 CPU. I thought I was buying a Full 040 on the A3640. Infact, the Dork that ever Pulled the Original 040 CPU left Butchered marks on the Socket, but then, I might be imagining that as well eh!

FFS!....>Sometimes there is just "NO" telling anyone FACT is there! Almost as bad as alexh going on about DMA. :roll:

 

My god, another .............Sorry about this "post". This is what I get for leaving my computer logged in here when three drunken "friends" come over.

I'd also like to add, some post'ees in this thread just Blamed SysInfo for being Buggy. Not the case...

Code: [Select]

; hunk 0, offset $33DE

        lea     $7FFFC,a1
        lea     $2000.w,a0
.iloop  move.l  (a0)+,d0
        cmp.l   a1,a0
        blt.b   .iloop

From SysInfo 3.24


The code is assuming that address $2000 is accessable. In certain cases the mapped memory only begins at $4000, and SysInfo will nuke (the test is executed in a way that any exception will kill the system).

Correct chipmem start address would easily be available from the chip memory MemHeader.

Again, if YOU ................Again, sorry for the outburst (see last "post")

Allow me to apologize to you, Effy, Piru, and everyone else in this thread.
I didn't write the last two "posts" under my name, but they are still my fault, because I walked away from this computer while it was still logged into this thread.
The guys who wrote that are usually very nice people, when not in a drunken stupor.
My sincere apologies.

PS rest assured I will never again walk away from a computer that is still on line.
