[comp.sys.amiga] 030 cache question

greg@cica.cica.indiana.edu (Gregory TRAVIS) (05/04/90)

Is there a utility to allow one to turn the '030 cache off and on
while the system is running?  I've gone into the 2630 monitor
and it always says the caches are off.  I can turn them on with the
cache commands, but I'm not sure if it's "sticking" through the boot
process.

It's definitely not sticking through a reboot. Under OS 2.0 there's a new
command, "CPU", which allows you to turn on and off the caches, load the
kickstart image into fast ram, and more. Much like SetCPU.
