- * TOSFAST.040 - a config file for loading TOS into FastRAM, and
- making it reset-resident.
-
- Once configured, place the driver in the auto folder like this:
-
- XBOOT.PRG boot manager
- 68040DRV.PRG 68040 driver
- 68882.PRG 68882 emulator (if required)
- .... everything else comes afterwards
-
- Notes for TOS/FastRAM users:
-
- ~ This config file will currently not work properly without NVDI if you
- have any FastRAM installed. If you do not use FastRAM, then there
- is no problem. The VDI will try to Blit data to and from FastRAM as
- soon as the Desktop loads from ROM and the result is nasty looking
- icons and frequent crashes. With NVDI installed, the blitter is
- bypassed and no harm can be done. If you don't have NVDI, then you
- will need to use the driver's VDI blitter patch option instead.
-
- ~ This version also assumes no SCSI devices are present before drive
- letter 'G'. In other words, C,D,E & F should be IDE (if anything)
- and the rest can be SCSI or even more IDE partitions. Trying to
- use a SCSI drive as letters C->F will probably result in lost data
- if you have FastRAM installed - for the same reasons described above,
- except the DMA chip is responsible here instead of the blitter. Again,
- non-FastRAM users are not affected.
-
- In order to change the default SCSI/DMA drive layout, it is advised
- that you first read the instructions for using the 68040CFG.APP
- program - making changes to options you do not understand could
- lead to problems with data on your hard-disk.
-
-
- * TOS.040 - a config file for running standard TOS from ROM.
-
- ~ This configuration is similar to the one described above, except
- for the fact that the TOS ROM is not transferred into FastRAM,
- and is not reset-resident. Most of the points made previously do
- still apply to this version.
