  • Hello ,


    I have not purchased the ACA 1234 card yet , but i am very interested.


    It seems that using the ACA1234 with 3.2.2. installed could give the requester message ;


    "you need to install a CPU/MMU library"


    It is advised to not install the library as that causes more problems than it will ever solve.

    And that it is easy to remove it from the startup-sequence.


    I found in the start up sequence the following:


    ; -----------CPU Checkinstall Section ---------


    FailAt 31


    CPU checkinstall


    SET temp1 $RC

    If VAL $temp1 EQ 30

    ECHO “”

    ASK “press the RETURN key to resume booting into a restricted area”

    Execute S: Startup-failsafe

    Quit


    EndIf

    If VAL $temp1 EQ 5

    ECHO “””

    ASK “press the RETURN key to resume booting”

    EndIf

    UNSET temp1

    ; ----------- end of CPU checkinstall Section ---------



    I’ll guess this is the cause for the nagging requester? So if I want to disable this I can delete this passage or put an “;” in front of the line? Will this mean in front of every line in this passage?

    So there is no CPU check anymore. Will this mean that the OS3.2.2. wont recognize any CPU in my system? Or will the card automatically handle this issue ?


    Also , I have read that the card have an 3.1 rom build in. Will there be a conflict with my build in 3.2 roms in my motherboard? And if so what can I do about that ?



    forgive my ignorance😉 and many questions. After al these years I am working hard to get used to the Amiga system again. And I want to be sure that I can overcome any troubleshooting with this new card.


    Thanks in advance


    Kind regards


    Ricardo
