Device unloading from memory

[fiat1100d]

Hello!

Is there a software for unloading devices from memory?
I mean, my Apollo 4060 board, even if it has SCSI autoboot disabled, still loads its SCSI device in memory, so software looking at those devices hangs (e.g. MakeCD).

Thanks!

Tried with Scout "Remove" option but the device is still there :-(

Will have to try to program an EPROM without the SCSI-Apollo.device code and check if it will boot without the device or won't boot at all.

That is, scsi-apollo.device

If there was the ability of having a ROM with only 68060 compatibility code, without SCSI crap, probably most of my problems would go away.

Nothing happens, the device is still there.
Could you try with SCSI-Apollo.device?

This is because I can issue, for example
version scsi-apollo.device
but then the output gives the device name as
SCSI-Apollo.device
with capital letters.

Tried to program an EPROM without a part of code which seemed to contain the SCSI device... Well the system booted but without Fast RAM too :-o

However by booting with no startup-sequence I was able to check that
version scsi-apollo.device
gives
object not found

so by having a better look at the ROM code I may be able to locate the SCSI device... Having some programming knowledge would be of some help :-D

It's with capital letters:

SCSI-Apollo.device

Hey, IT JUST WORKS!

Tried it, no more Apollo's SCSI device available! MakeCD doesn't freeze!
I put it as the first line in my Startup-Sequence file :-)

Do you think it could be possible to make it "rommable", as a sort of module, for embedding into Kickstart ROM? Just an idea, don't know if it would work as it does now.

A great THANK YOU!

I think you could upload the program to Aminet, it could be useful for Apollo users which have problems with the SCSI device.
