It is a fairly general limitation of exec. If you place two modules on the resident list, exec will grab the one with the highest version number. There might be a way around this, but in general, there are system limitations like this for a reason. Libraries and devices have dependencies between them, and it is typically not a good idea to insert a lower-release into a system that was compiled for a higher release.

Some workaround must be possible - with LoadResident from RemApollo package I'm able to substitute the console handler with KingCON (Remus-compatible version, patched by Cosmos). With LoadModule I can't - it complains about module already present.

-------

One more option I miss is to be able to do something like this:

Code: [Select]
LoadModule module1 NOREBOOT
LoadModule module2 NOREBOOT
...
Currently this load only the 1st module. I use plenty of them (probably most of the kickstart gets replaced) and the maximum command line length is simply too small for me.
Better yet, it could be possible to submit a directory instead of module, and the tool could load all the modules inside. Even better - the machine type check could be applied to this directory and appropriate subdirectory could be used.

(this is, of course, only a suggestion)

Did you check the documentation of the AUTO argument? It picks the modules from all over the system.

What might be missing is wildcard resolution, though.

Yes, I have checked. If module name looks like this - check this directory, if looks like that - check that directory, etc. It's so smart that is almost unpredictable. And I definitely don't want to spread the modules all over my system - I use Remus from time to time.

But the wildcard resolution would work fine for me too.

Many thanks for today 45.6 release :) Although I still have to use LoadResident for the KingCON - even with DOWNGRADE option it loads, but has totally no effect.

BTW. Do you have any plans regarding potential 68080.library for the Apollo Core?

The LoadModule 45.7 fixes my KingCON issue - it seems I can finally get rid of LoadResident. Thank you!
