Hi all, It's been mentioned that vanilla QDOS/Minerva doesn't run happily on 68EC020 due to CPU differences. The GC/SGC copies and patches the OS to work with the EC020 CPU, and to relocate certain resources.
My questions are: what are the differences? How does the GC/SGC boot the unaltered OS to copy the OS to the GC to reboot with the patched version? I tried reading out and comparing the SGC patched version, but I don't have the knowledge to read what is an '020 change and what is a change for moved locations of resources. I would like to prepare a version of Minerva 1.97/1.98 to run specifically with the 68EC020 system I'm building, and it could solve a lot of other problems in the future for me. Any pointers would be gratefully received, as currently, my 68EC020 hobby project locks up a lot, and it's hard to fault trace a hardware issue if there may be a firmware issue;) -- Dave Park Sandy Electronics, LLC d...@sinclairql.com _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
