[comp.sys.m68k] tas instruction on multi-processor unix machines.

tma@progress.COM (Tim Atchison) (06/21/91)

I am having problems implementing the tas (test-and-set) instruction on
multi-processor unix machines (Motorola DELTA, Nixdorf Targon31, etc.).
If I make the machine run single processor, everything works fine, but this
is clearly not a solution for our customers. The main question I am asking
is "Am I missing something here ?" This problem only seems to exist on
multi processor machines with 68030, and not on 68010 or 68020. Could
some kind soul please point me in the right direction?

Please e-mail me directly since I don't read this group too often.

Thanks in advance.
