Short: Fixes a bug in GVP turbo boards
Uploader: thor@math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Author: thor@math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Type: util/misc
This tiny patch fixes a bug with the "FastROM" mapping feature of the GVP turbo
boards and the ColdReboot() function of the exec library, which is used for
example by the "Guru" requesters or various "reset" tools.
If the ColdReboot() function gets called with the "FastROM" mapping enabled,
the GVP board will simply crash instead of reboot. This patch disables the
FastROM before the standard exec function is called and prevents therefore
this crash.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Installation:
- Copy the "PatchBoot" program in this drawer to the C: directory.
- Add the following line near to SetPatch to your startup-sequence:
PatchBoot
PatchBoot should be installed in front of "DiskSafe", btw. (Even though it
might work the other way round as well, but then the disk salvage process
is slowed down.)
