LoadKickC0 V1.1 - Manual
NAME
C:LoadKickC0
SYNOPSIS
LoadKickC0 KICKSTARTFILE
DESCRIPTION
"LoadKickC0" is a new kickstart load program for the RAM version of
Kickstart 37.175 (OS 2.04). It's designed for A500 computers with a
internal 2.3 or 2.5 MB memory board (located at $C00000) or an A2000a
with 1 MB on the internal memory board.
FEATURES
"ZKick" would work, too, but "LoadKickC0" has some advantages as it's
exspecially designed for such configurations:
- no need to switch off the $C00000 memory
- memory at $C800000 will automatically be configured
- harddisk drivers loaded under 1.3 will be still operative under 2.0
(This was only checked with ALF-II copyright by Elaborate Bytes.)
- reset proof ("ZKick" has some problems with this.)
CHANGES
For V1.1 I wrote a program called "CreateRelocTab.c" to reorganize the
relocation table. So the size of the executable file "LoadKickC0"
shrinked from 24KB to 12KB.
SOURCE
The source code is included, it can be compiled with SAS-C 5.10a and
A68K V2.71. The file "rtable.asm" is taken from "ZKick 3.01" with
permission of the author.
THANKS
Many thanks to Daniel Zenchelsky - the author of "ZKick" - for the
permission to use "rtable.asm" and for his hints.
Thanks must go to Carsten and Mario Kemper, too, for their help with
debugging this tool.
COPYRIGHT
LoadKickC0 is free to be spread on public-domain and shareware disks,
as long as they are sold for a reasonable charge that is less than $6
or DM 8,-. For use in commercial products the permission of the author
is required.
