How do I know if a program is "resident"?
« on: January 07, 2008, 09:40:11 PM »
I just got a Kickflash board & apparently it can be loaded with any Memory Resident programs, so that they become active from power-up.

How do I know if a program is memory resident or not?

I have a Repulse Audio board which is initialized by a program in the Startup-Sequence called "RepulseInit".  It would be great to put this in the Kickflash.  However, it uses the parameter QUIET (i.e. REPULSEINIT QUIET) to disable its output.  For that reason I think it probably won't work (i.e. how would you trigger the parameter QUIET if not started from the S-S)?

I also use ROMTAGMEM to initialize the memory on my accelerator, and again it would be neat to put in the Kickflash, but I don't think it is resident either because it needs a bunch of parameters included to define the memory addresses range.

Can anyone name any neat or useful resident utilities that would be good in a Kickflash board?
