A tool that copies kickstart to fast memory?
« on: June 09, 2006, 02:11:16 PM »
Which tool do you guys recommend for usage with 030 accelerator cards that don't have the MapROM feature like Blizzards, when wanting to map kickstart to fast memory? Is SetCpu still considered the best for the job?


Thanks.

@amije:

You need to jumper the maprom-jumper on the Blizzard for it to work.

I really don't know. :-)
I know that SetCpu can, but this app was written in 1990 by Dave Haynie, and I'm not too sure if it's wise to use it with OS3.9BB2 setups.

but you have nothing to loose if you try. if it's not working just boot with a plain wb floppy and remove the line from ss.
