Short: Set AFF_68060 flag in ExecBase
Type: util/sys
Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Author: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Make060 simply sets the AFF_68060 flag in SysBase->AttnFlags.
Why doing such a stupid thing ?
Well, some time ago someone told me, that my program SIP did
not recognize his 060 card (AFAIK it was a Wildfire 060), so
since SIP does only check the AttnFlags (like other programs),
it was perhaps the card software not setting this flag
(which BTW has been introduced by Ralph Schmidt of phase5,
vendor of CyberStorm).
I've just written that small hack to a) evaluate, that it was not
SIP, but the card, and b) allow all people, who can't do any
programming, but own such a card, to simply set that flag.
And c) it's also a nice gag and the cheapest way to show your
friends the new 68060 you just bought yesterday... :->
So all people, who don't see their 060 card recognized by
060-sensitive software, should add "Make060" to their
startup-sequence right after SetPatch is invoked.
Should look like that:
SetPatch >NIL: <NIL:
Run >NIL: <NIL: Make060
Well, last not least:
I'm not responsible for anything, there's no guarantee for anything,
and all mentioned trademarks are subject to their owners :-)
Programmer's note:
The source is included - it directly defines the AFB_68060 flag
if necessary, so you can obtain some information fromout there...
