Essential A500/A600 OS3.1 System patches/hacks?
« on: May 03, 2006, 10:08:42 PM »
Hi guys,

I recently bought myself a cool little A600.:horse: I've just upgraded its crappy v2 ROM (buggy r37.299)and she's now sporting a 3.1 ROM/Workbench, 3GB HD with PFS3 + 1MB chip upgrade (2MB in total). She's running great but as I've learned with my A1200, there are often ways to improve even perfection. I couldn't live without BlizKick, Fblit, SystemPatch and WBctl on my 1200...for example.

So what I'd like to know from any 68000/3.1 Gurus reading is this: are there any similar performance-type patches I should get hold of for my A600? :eureka: I just thought I'd ask you guys first before I go hunting on Aminet and hopefully save myself time installing stuff thats just useless and/or buggy. :nervous:

Any tips appretiated!

I'll definitely give that a go if/when I get a PCMCIA fastmem expansion. At the moment I only have 2mb chip tho. The doc on Aminet says it works by moving exec.library to fastmem, would there be any improvement with only chip?
