Lidl) Distribution: na Organization: University of Merryland, Elec. Eng. Department Lines: 25 Well, I finally broke down and bought myself a 68010 for my 4.2 motherboard B2000. After carefully prying out the old 68000, and installing the shiney, new & improved CPU, I cranked up the Amiga. Everything booted properly, vd0:, faccii, dmouse v1.04, and blitz. Now for the real test! Will MSE (Mandelbrot Set Explorer) perform like greased lightning, at a whopping 3-5% greater speed? Alas no - it gives the dreaded Task Held error, and then drops thru to a Guru... So I guess it was the 68010... Now on the the question - Is there a patch to cause it to non-guru? A ftp'able version of decigel for AmiDOS v1.2? Anything I can do to get it working correctly? BTW, the chip (a real Motorola ceramic case one) only cost me $10. Not too bad. Let's hear it for Hamfests! Thanks, Kurt Lidl -- ================================================================== == Kurt J.
