- Enclosure: AV Turbo ROM
-
- Second in the hopefully long series of my enhancements to the AV ROMs is a
- simple control panel which copies the ROM down into RAM. This speeds up things
- because the CPU can access RAM much faster than ROM. However, there is a catch.
- The ROM code will now be writeable, which can be nasty if any of the ROM code,
- or a errant program modifies it. Use it at your own risk. This will use up 2MB
- of your RAM, so if you have a small amount of RAM, you might not want to use
- this. A nice side-effect is that you can now easily modify the ROM with your
- favorite debugger.
-
- To use, simple double-click the control panel from the Finder. There is one
- checkbox. If it is checked, the ROM will be copied into RAM. If it is
- unchecked, the ROM will stay where it is. You must restart for the change to
- take effect. You don't need to have the control panel in your System folder for
- it to work because there is nothing that loads at startup.
-
- I hope you find this useful.
