Spectrum Problem
Just a little problem. I purchased GigaMem over the weekend. It's install
updated my 68040.library to version 37.10. Should be no problem with that,
but when I rebooted the machine after the install I found that the
Spectrum workbench emulation would no longer work. Replacing the old
68040.library (verson 37.2) fixed the EGS problem but then GigaMem would
refuse to run because it requires version 37.10 or higher.
I really don't understand how the 68040.library would affect the Spectrum.
Is there a fix for this, I would like to use GigaMem.
The problem with the workbench emulation is something I've seen before,
when I removed the fastrom option from GVPCPUCTRL in the startup-sequence.
You get a screen full of colorful patterns that kind of looks like my
1024×768 workbench is being displayed on a low-res screen. In other words
each video line is wrapping because of the reduced line length. I know
from the pixel size that the screen is low-res.
Also why is it nessesary to copy the 2.0 roms to ram in order to run the
workbench emulation. EGS isn't patching the ROM is it??? This would be
very disturbing with 3.1 so close.
My system consists of a 3000T with a GVP G-Force 040 and 20 meg of ram
(4 meg on the 040 card).
Thanks, Dale
