SetPatch (1.3, 2.x, 3.x in C:)
NAME
SetPatch - Released by Commodore to fix any known
problems in the KickStart ROMS.
SYNOPSIS
1.3:
SETPATCH [r]
2.x/3.x:
SETPATCH [NOCACHE] [QUIET]
3.1:
SETPATCH [NOCACHE] [QUIET] [NOAGA]
DESCRIPTION
This should be the very first program run in your
Startup-Sequence file. When run, the command prints a
list of the patches (program corrections) made.
KEYWORDS
r
An optional switch which lets you use the recoverable
RAM disk (RAD:) to work on 1.3 machines with 1meg of chip
ram. If you are using a 1.3 machine and don't know how
much ram you have, simply run the AVAIL command any
you'll see. If it is just 512k, then you can't use a RAD:
device. But, if you have over 512k then you can.
NoCache
2.x/3.x only: Lets you disable the data cache on
accelerator cards. With cache on (default) commands run
much quicker, but some older programs do not run well (or
at all) with cache on, so turning it off may help with
compatiblity of older 1.3 programs.
Quiet
2.x/3.x Only: Prevents SetPatch from printing out a
status report of the patches made.
NOAGA
3.1 Only: Prevents an AGA machine from fully enabling
the AGA chipset. This lets you use setpatch to help you
run those programs that don't work on AGA graphics chips.
EXAMPLES
1. To patch 2.1 Kickstart routines without printing a list
of patches:
