- [0] Introduction
-
- Battmem is an editor for the battery backed RAM in the Amiga 3000. Battmem
- requires AmigaDOS 2.0 and an Amiga 3000. Currently there are four items
- that can be changed, SCSI controller ID, Synchronous SCSI, SCSI Timeout,
- and SCSI luns.
-
- It is pretty self explanatory how Battmem works. Near the bottom of the
- window there is a box that shows the 96 bits of the battery backed memory.
-
- If Battmem is run on a machine other then an A3000, it will appear to work.
- Apparently the ReadBattMem() and WriteBattMem() functions do not return
- errors if run on a non A3000 machine.
-
-
- [1] SCSI Controller ID
-
- This is the SCSI ID of the hard disk controller. The default is 7. These
- are bits 65, 66, and 67 of the battery backed ram.
-
-
- [2] Initiate Synchronous SCSI
-
- This will tell the driver to initiate synchronous SCSI transfers. Only use
- this if the hard drive you have supports synchronous SCSI. All Quantums
- support synchronous SCSI. This is bit 68 for the battery backed ram.
-
-
- [3] SCSI Timeout
-
- This is the amount of time the 3000 waits on power up for the hard drive.
- With Quantums 128ms is fine but from what I hear Seacrates need it set to 2
- secs since they take longer to power up. This is bit 1 of the battery
- backed ram.
-
-
- [4] SCSI Lun
-
- This determines weather the 3000 checks just lun 0 or checks all luns. If
- you have an adaptic or some other SCSI device that supports multiple luns
- then you might need to set this bit. This is bit 2 of the battery backed
- ram.
