CpuControl V1.05
------------------
First public release
25.11.1995
© 1995 by Oliver Goss
Well, this is the first public release of my tool CpuControl, a replacement of
the stock CPU command with somewhat improved capabilities. The outstanding
feature of this tool is the possibility to 'softkick' any KickStart® version
from 2.04 to 3.xx using some MMU-code (therefore a functionable MMU is required
to get the full benefit of CpuControl). Please refer to the file
'CpuControl.guide' for more information about the other features and especially
the note concerning the Copyright stuff when using the softkicking ability of
CpuControl.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
I haven't had the time to spend much effort into the development of this tool
during the last few months. But I think that CpuControl might be useful for some
among you, so I decided to release it in the present state. By now the program
has only been tested on my configuration. Due to a general lack of time I have
not yet performed any conscientious tests with Enforcer, Mungwall, etc. This
will be done as soon as I have the time.
The program seems to work fine on my configuration, but it may still have some
more or less serious bugs. The program itself is still in an early phase of
development and requires extensive testing and lots of improvements. So if
CpuControl works on your machine or you discover a bug, please let me know (a
description of your configuration would be most helpful).
BUT BE AWARE: You are using the program at your very own risk. Don't say you
haven't been warned ! I declare at this point that I cannot be
held responsible for any damage caused by the use of the contents
of this distribution.
By the way, the further development of this tool depends on the feedback I get
from YOU. So if you have any serious remarks about improvements etc., check the
documentation for my address.
