- Planned Change Information
-
-
- As most programs are, AIBB is a continuing effort on my part, and
- I do hope to continue working on this as long as interest exists for
- it. Below is a list of possible future changes to be introduced into AIBB
- in future versions:
-
-
- -- In-line coded 68040 FPU tests. These will allow comparisons of
- 68040-based systems with code which is more tailored to take
- advantage of the 68040's built-in FPU, which differs from the
- 68881/68882 FPU components used predominantly in 68020/68030
- systems.
-
- -- An interface change. A fact which has been getting at me is
- the use of a 16-color screen for AIBB's presentation. I plan
- to change this some time in the future to an interface which
- can accomodate screen/system types other than that which is
- the 'default' for most Amigas. This will most likely involve
- the reduction of the number of colors to a maximum of 8 as
- I also would like to reduce AIBB's use of memory resources and
- DMA time on the CHIP RAM bus.
-
- -- A few other test are in the works which will hopefully be more
- telling of a system's performance levels. I will implement these
- if they prove to be advantageous in system testing.
-
- -- I hope to get AIBB such that it can more thoroughly examine a
- system and report its findings more accurately. As of now, AIBB
- is fairly determinate in what information it does display, but
- the information it gives is not the complete picture. A more
- full overview would probably be useful in performing tests as
- a better view of the system as a whole could be obtained without
- having to resort to external checking methods.
