Tom, How do you get your accelerator to run in 68000 mode?? A friend of mine cannot get his GVP 030 -> now 040, to do that without losing the rest of the card…(ram etc on the card). Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot

" How do you get your accelerator to run in 68000 mode?? A friend of mine cannot get his GVP 030 -> now 040, to do that without losing the rest of the card…(ram etc on the card)." This is normal. When you drop to 68000 you loose the accelerator and everything attached to it. Only time you really need to do that is for games anyway, think of it as 'Virus Protection':) -Peter Motorollin' with G-Force 68040 on AutoPilot

Laurie, <A friend of mine cannot get his GVP 030 -> now 040, to do that without losing the rest of the card…(ram etc on the card).> This is how they work. When one turns off the accelerator, one also turns off any memory that resides on it. Forutnately, the main reason anyone turns off an accelerator is to play games, and most of those don't have high memory requirements. <g> Skimming through the Redwoods on AutoPilot Asha
