I am investigating the use of a 68020 based accelerator card in a Mega ST. Currently, I use TOS1.4 Since the TOS as delivered by Atari is braindead enough to crash on anything else than a 68000, I wonder what replacement TOS people use when they use 68020 or 68030 accelerator boards. I also wonder what compatibility issues are involved. The accelerator I have in mind also has a 68000 on board to address problematic (with regards to != 68000 cpus) programs. Any help appreciated _ ______________________________________________________________________ | / o / / _ Wilko Bulte Domain: wilko@idca.tds.philips.nl |/|/ / / /( (_) uucp : [mcsun,hp4nl]!philapd!wilko * Philips Information Systems Nederland phone: 055-432372 fax: 055-432103 ____________________________________________________________________________

I believe you gotta use 1.6 or above, as these were the first ones where Atari started to get there act together, and realized what year it was, etc. That is why GBS licensed it for the SST. By the way, Why couldn't he make a board specifically for the MEGA STe that doesn't have TOS, so people can save money by unplugging the ROMs that some with the machine?
