Well, strictly speaking it's not *only* required when an plugging
external board in. As I wrote in my previous mail, you can mask the
*internal* interrupts (such as SCC or MFP) which does not require any
board in the VME slot. Hatari does not emulate that SCU feature, either.

M68k Linux depends on that working, when the
related registers are present.  That's the reason
why Linux currently fails with Hatari's MegaSTE
and TT emulation.

(It's possible that NetBSD would require same,
but it doesn't yet proceed far enough that I
could check that.)

Hi

4 years later, time to resurrect this old thread :)

Are there any ready to use linux disk image I could use to check the boot process regarding SCU registers ?

I know there's also the SysV disk images at http://www.atariunix.com/ but it seems they also rely on the RTC's internal timer interrupt, which is not emulated so far

Or some other programs that modify SCU registers ? (apart from the TOS used in MegaSTE / TT)
