; the current version of the MMU library knows four commands that can
; be used in this file:
; CLEARTTX clears all or parts of the transparent translation registers
; ADDMEM   adds memory to the exec free list pool. BE WARNED, this command
;          does NOT modify the MMU tables, this must be done manually with
;          SETCACHEMODE
; SETCACHEMODE  defines the MMU tables.
; DESCRIPTORCACHEINHIBIT defines whether the data cache should be disabled
; for the MMU descriptors. It's usually OFF meaning the cache will remain
; enabled. This is fine for the mmu.library, but certain hacks might require
; an ON argument here. Note that this means more work for the library.


ClearTTx        ;ignore all TTX registers if any. We don't need them

;DescriptorCacheInhibit ON      ;make access to MMU descriptors cache inhibited


;Board specific setup follows here,
;generated by BuildMMUConfig 1.10 © 29.07.2000 THOR-Software

;General memory setup follows.
;The following lines are a compatibility kludge for some P5 boards
;which enable the MMU prior to the 68040/68060 library and leave
;the memory in CACHEINHIBIT state. You may remove the following
;lines on all other machines most likely.

SetCacheMode from 0x78000000 size 0x07F80000 Copyback
SetCacheMode from 0x20480000 size 0x03A80000 Copyback
SetCacheMode from 0x00000000 size 0x00200000 CacheInhibit NonSerial Imprecise

;Memory setup end.


;Setup for board 8512/17

;Setup for board 2206/60

;Setup for board 2206/188


;P5 fixes follow here:
;If you do not own a P5 board, you may remove the following lines
;
;Several P5 boards build a private MMU setup on boot
;using a kludge called the BOOT-MMU-Port. To run this
;kludge, the following external command is run from
;LIBS:mmu/ as all other external commands
;
;This command installs also other P5 relevant MMU settings
;Hence, for P5 boards, please keep it in place even if
;you *DO NOT* see the BOOT-MMU-Port.

You have a clean MMU configuration, it has to be something in your system. Would it be possible for you to share your system with me?

[Hedeon]

Also check NoCache in mediator. It has to be yes.

Do you mean share an archive of my whole system partition?

Yep - that's set for me as I think you told me that back when I got the K1

[edit] sorry, should clarify that won't be tonight :P

Or this weekend? :-P

You're a harsh man

They are in post 2901 above, unless there is other info you also wanted to see?

Sorry, I was referring to this post. Is it working with the fm801?

Ah right! Not got the card yet, Christmas post sucks

The card arrived! It's clearly an FM801-AU, but reports itself as a SoundBlaster via the PCI IDs. Great

[edit] Attempt 2 - found one that's explicitly listed on Elbox's website. Yet another wait for delivery though.

You have a picture of the card?

Sure: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kXFxAbuwUDgQ6tGv8

[nexus]

that must be a fake as i see no FM-801-AU ever come in that package
they all are square chips
im also going off the datasheet

[nexus]

the card you have was made by creative so that is a relabeled 1370 chip

Yeah that makes sense, the one I just ordered is in the square package. Hopefully better luck with that

[Hedeon]

wow, didn't know they faked sound cards.

Hi,

I’ve got just a basic question. Is it possible to use PCI PPC card in a system driven by CSPPC? Or in other words, is it only a question of the correct libraries installed, i. e. will, by using sonnet.library with the included PowerPC.library, the PCI PPC be selected, and therefore the PPC on CSPPC not get activated?

I’d like to know that before finishing my final hardware setup.

Thanks.

There is no sonnet.library anymore, only powerpc.library. So they cannot be used next to each other except that you could decide on start-up (with some menu) or after booting into workbench (with some script) which powerpc.library gets activated.

For now the reasons to use a CSPPC would be:

1) iFusion
2) Payback WOS
3) Old demos in combination with a CVPPC
4) <someone else please add>

Neither did I

ETA of Jan 4th for the correct one

1) iFusion
2) Payback WOS
3) Old demos in combination with a CVPPC
4) OS4 Classic
5) MorphOS Classic or whatever it was called, PowerUp?

Ah yes. Of course :-). Regarding point 5 I have seen it running MOS 3.9 during Neuss 32 it was I think. Not sure if it materialized. I guess you are referring to 1.4.
