Generally for a quitkey to work on 68000 the slave-writer must insert it manually into the code. Any other (more advanced) processor doesn't need this because WHDLoad can monitor the keypresses itself.

Some slaves don't have this 68000 quitkey support built in and so can't be quit without resetting the computer.

I do exactly that

I check the CPU and disable the SMC patches automatically on 68000.

But just in case someone wants to play around a bit I also allow the SMC patches to be disabled on CPU's >68000 with a CUSTOM tooltype.

Ok, guys, it has been a long time, but I now got a nice hd for my Amiga-600 (2MB chipram, no fastram) and now I am thinking about the best way how I could get most whdload games working there, but I would need some help....

Currently I just have the hd perpared and formatted for the Amiga, but what next ?
If I install complete workbench 2.0 or 2.1 and whdload, then I suppose almost no whd games would run because the wb and whdload will take up too much ram, right ?

So, what would be the best option ? I don't need a full wb on the hd, just a small startup with Amigados prompt and only the important files from whdload so that I can simply start the games by typing in their name would be fine for me.

Could anyone give me a little step by step guide ?
Many thanx !!!

I got lucky and found a 4MB PCMCIA RAM card for my A600. It sticks out the side and is a bit ugly - but it works ok. I think the 2MB SRAM cards aren't too hard to come by?

KGLoad might be helpful for you, although I need to finish the next beta and update my pages on here!

I got it on eBay. I agree the 4MB ones are a little more special, but as I said the 2MB ones are easy enough to find.

I bought one card from this seller two years ago, still works fine. Wonder from where he's got supply of them.

He probably works in the telecommunications business. These cards are used in a lot of PBX machines.

Or perhaps the photocopying business? These were used in a lot of older photocopiers and laser printers.
