Blizzard 1230 MK IV disable question?
« on: March 02, 2009, 05:34:38 PM »
I know I can press "2" on start-up to disable the accelerator.  Also to Hold Ctrl-A-A for 10 seconds to re-enable it after reboot...

But...

Is there a way to disable the the CPU (68030) while still allowing me to use it as a RAM expansion board?   Another key to hold down, or maybe something BlitzKick could do?  Or is it simply not technically possible?

I have a few apps that don't seem to like the CPU but I still need the ram to start them up...

Thanks

What compatibility issues are you having that require you to disable the 030 only?

I have a couple demos that seem to act "funny" when on the 68030.  They're WHD demos so maybe I could tweak that.  Wish I had the name of specific demo, but I'm at work...  The WHD author did mention some compatibly with faster machines, and said maybe he'll work on a better WHD loader in the future.  (guess that never happened)

Thanks for the help though, I thought it probably isn't possible but worth asking..
