Manual for FalconSX accessory Ver 0.9:
-------------------------------------
I spent some time on coding this accessory and as I am a studant I thought
that shareware is a good way to get little money from my work.
So, FalconSX is shareware that is, if you use it you must register as a user.
The registration fee is 10$ ( 50Frs francais ), seems to be not too much ;-).
If you find that my accessory is usefull PLEASE REGISTER.
To do so:
send me the registration fee and a stamped self addressed envelope
to :
Boyeau Stephane
Chemin de Canteperdrix
911 route du village
06810 Auribeau/Siagne
FRANCE
You will then receive the last version of FalconSX by Email if you have this
possibility or by mail.
What is FalconSX ?
------------------
This is a small but usefull (I hope !) accessory to set all the hardware
settings of your FALCON030.
These are:
* CPU & blitter clock rates (8/16Mhz)
* BUS type (Falcon bus or STE bus)
* CPU cache activation/deactivation
* Sweep freq. of the VIDEL 78/50Hz
* Internal IDE Harddrive ON/OFF
* Sound Volume
* Sound connections (ADC to DAC for example)
* Reset the Sound sub-system
* See the cookie Jar
* have a look to the system crash page
How to intall FalconSX ?
------------------------
Just copy FALCONSX.ACC and FALCONSX.RSC to the root of your boot drive.
Then reboot.
Never separate the .acc from the .rsc file !!!
NEVER MODIFY THE RSC FILE IN ANY MANER. THIS WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF LOCKING
THE ACCESSORY AND YOU WILL HAVE TO REBOOT.
Some details !
--------------
CPU CACHE: some programs don't like the cache and you have to disable it.
FCOPYPRO copy function doesn't work if you enable the cache for
example. If you have some old prgs which doesn't work try them
again with the cache disabled. It may work again...
IDE HD ON/OFF:
the internal optional IDE HD can be switched off if you think
that it wont be used for a long time. Usefull for example if
you use an external SCSI HD and don't use the internal IDE.
(it will make its life longer !)
SWEEP FREQ.:
If you're tired of getting red eyes full of blood watching your
50 Hz monitor all the day long, just get to the confortble 78Hz
vert. freq. rate !
BUT BE CAREFULL ! NEVER USE IT ON NON MULTISYNC MONITORS !!!!
SOUND SETTINGS:
to make the link between the microphone input to the headphone
output socket just select 'Microphone' and a sampling freq.
between 9-50Khz and click on the 'SET !' button.
This is a very convenient way to make your FALCON030 getting
sound from the microphone input out to the headphone output in
background without slowdown. This doesn't lock the sound sub
system. So, you can run a program which needs to lock it.
After aborting the program, the link work again.
To hear a sampler or a .MOD player ( all the sounds coming from
internal) you must select the 'PSG' button.
RESET SOUND SUB SYSTEM:
If you have a problem with sound, reset it.
COOKIES: Very usefull for coders. May tell you what you have in your
computer and what is your hardware set.
SYSTEM CRASH PAGE:
When your computer crashes, it saves some infomations (registers
, stack values, crash vector ...).
These informations stay resident even if you reset your computer.
It will get lost only if you power off.
So, after a crash and after rebooting, you can take a look at this
crash page by simply clicking on the 'System crash page' button.
HAVE FUN WITH IT !
