Re: [hatari-devel] _FRB cookie in Falcon emulation

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/hatari-devel Archives ]


Hi,

I wonder whether there have been other changes of this kind? When running
Hatari with an unpatched TOS 4.04 the _ramtop ($5a4) and _ramvalid ($5a8)
reflect the presence of Fast-RAM. Is this standard TOS 4.04 behavior? I do
not have a Falcon with Fats-RAM, i.e. I cannot verify this.

Best regards

Uwe
