Short: Blizzard PPC libs loaders V1.0.0 Author: sintonen@iki.fi (Harry "Piru" Sintonen) Uploader: sintonen@iki.fi (Harry "Piru" Sintonen) Version: 1.0.0 Type: util/boot Requires: OS 2.04+, Blizzard PPC card loadppclib, load060lib and load040lib are tools that can be used to load ppc.library, 68060.library or 68040.library from disk with Blizzard PPC cards. This is handy if you've disabled FlashROM libraries with BPPCFix. BPPCFix program itself is not included. Use Frank Wille's BPPCFix program or BlizKick's BPPCFix & BPPCFix040 modules to disable the FlashROM libraries. Features: - loadppclib is faster than InitPPCLib. InitPPCLib takes 3.3 seconds on my 68060 @ 50MHz while loading with loadppclib is almost instant. - loadppclib can terminate WarpOS (well, kindof). - loadppclib work with new BlizKick-BPPCFix 1.2. - easy to use shell commands. - full source code (in AmigaE) is included. LOADPPCLIB USAGE ---------------- Format: LOADPPCLIB [LIBRARY ] [FORCE] Template: LIBRARY,FORCE/S Purpose: Load ppc.library to memory with Blizzard PPC Specification: LIBRARY argument can be used to specify full path to ppc.library. Default is 'libs:ppc.library', but you might want to use some other path, like: 'work:mylibs/ppc.library.orig'. The ppc.library will not be loaded if the library is already in memory. If WarpOS kernel is active the ppc.library will not be installed unless you use FORCE option. Note that if you FORCE the ppc.library WarpOS will cease to work until system is rebooted. Also note that correct 680x0.library must have been loaded before this program will work. Example1: 1> LOADPPCLIB Install the library from 'libs:ppc.library' file. If WarpOS is active do nothing. Example2: 1> LOADPPCLIB work:mylibs/ppc.library.orig FORCE Install the library from 'work:mylibs/ppc.library.orig' file, even if the WarpOS kernel is active. If the WarpOS kernel is active it will be terminated. LOAD060LIB USAGE ---------------- Format: LOAD060LIB [LIBRARY ] [FORCE] Template: LIBRARY,FORCE/S Purpose: Load 68060.library to memory with Blizzard PPC Specification: LIBRARY argument can be used to specify full path to 68060.library. Default is 'libs:68060.library', but you might want to use some other path, like: 'work:mylibs/68060.library.orig'. The 68060.library will not be loaded if the library is already in memory. Example: 1> LOAD060LIB work:mylibs/68060.library.orig Install the 68060 library from 'work:mylibs/68060.library.orig' file. LOAD040LIB USAGE ---------------- Identical to LOAD060LIB except this is for Blizzard PPC cards with 68040 CPU. LEGAL CRAP ---------- Copyright © 2000 Harry "Piru" Sintonen .
