Short: Makes CV64 memory public. V1.0 Author: rawstyle@blackbox.dame.de (Michael Krause) Uploader: rawstyle blackbox dame de (Michael Krause) Type: util/boot Architecture: m68k-amigaos WHAT? --------- Tired of having a CyberVision64 with 4MB and not using 3 of them? Then this small program might be useful for you. `Program', in this case, should be spelled `h'-`a'-`c'-`k', though. `AddCyberMem' adds a user-specified amount of memory from the end of the CyberVision64's on-board display memory to the exec list of free memory - you can use it as if it were standard FAST memory. By default, it gets Priority 10, so the real FAST memory is preferred, but not the CHIP memory. USAGE --------- The command template is KBYTES/N/A,PRIORITY/N. Never start twice! ATTENTION ------------- As stated previously, this program is a hack - this means, it might not work under certain conditions or even crash the machine. The CyberGraphX software seems to require additional display memory when dragging screens as well as when switching them, so it is most safe to use `AddCyberMem' when the board is not in use at all. However, I run a 1024x768x8 Workbench (few programs use bigger screens) and don't encounter problems when stealing 2MB from the board. But it's possible use all 4MB if you work with the AA chipset. Nevertheless - for this to work, the board must be initialized - all you need to do is run this small script, for example at the beginning of startup-sequence: assign env: envarc: devs:monitors/cybervision addcybermem 4096 SOURCE CODE --------------- The program has been compiled with GNU C 2.7.0. SAS/C fanatics please notice that the executable is smaller than this .readme ,-) LEGAL --------- `AddCyberMem' and all its accompanying files are hereby explicitly declared as Public Domain - handle with care! - Michael Krause rawstyle@blackbox.dame.de http://www.szczecin.pl/~rawstyle/
