First impressions

Wow. Lets just say that I was lucky. My CT60 setup seems to work much better than everyone else I’ve been talking to. The speed is just insane and after getting used to it, there is no turning back. Ok, so there where a few problems to start with. Most of them having to do with me not being used to working with accelerators and FastRAM.

First of all, XBOOT crashed at startup. This was because it was loaded into FastRAM and that the cache was enabled. After changing the file flags and disabling the cache before running it, it works.

MiNT boots like a charm. There where only two things that got me a bit sceptical at first. Thing didn’t seem to like being run so fast. That was solved by (once again) disabling the cache. Of course that makes everything go much slower, but it still is helluva lot faster than before.

The second thing, and perhaps the thing I will miss most, is that my network adapter doesn’t work with the CT60. I hope it’s only a driver issue, so that I won’t have to boot into normal (slooow) mode to download anything.

Well, that was my first day with my newly super speeded atari. I will test more tomorrow. :)
