- Friends,
-
- After my recent claims of success in running MCL 2 on a Radius Rocket, I must
- now qualify that:
-
- I can run MCL 2.0p2 very happily on a Radius Rocket, in a IIci, *provided* that
- the Rocket does not use interleaved memory. My previous experiences in using a
- Rocket were with a 20 Mbyte board (16 + 4 Mbyte), which the Rocket accesses
- normally. However, in order to improve its speed, the Rocket will endeavour to
- interleave its memory access when the SIMMs in its two banks contain SIMMs of
- the same size. Today, I upgraded to 32 Mbyte (16 + 16) and lo and behold, MCL
- 2.0p2 would not run under any conditions.
-
- There is currently no way to turn interleaving off, therefore I had to return
- to the previous 20 Mbyte configuration in order to be able to run MCL.
-
- I am filing full bug reports with bug-mcl and Radius in the hope that a happy
- coexistence is reached!
-
- Howard.
