- 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.
