While trying to figure out why my printer driver wasn't working, I
had the "oppertunity" to use ROM-Wack. I have a few questions on
using it:
- I was under the impression that you could get into ROM-Wack
automatically, when you had a GURU. I was not able to get this to
happen. The only way I could get into it was through the WB menu item,
or by hitting DEL on the terminal, after selecting "CONTINUE" on the
"Software error...." requestor. Is there a way to get it to go into
ROM-Wack automatically?
- When entering ROM-Wack by hitting DEL at GURU time, location zero
(0x00000000) contains the text "HELP". Where did this come from?
- Does ROM-Wack have a disassembler?
- I got the impression that there was a full blown Wack avaliable.
Where can I get it?
- I use the FASTROM option of SETCPU on my A2500. When FASTROM is enabled,
and I get a GURU, I have to boot twice. After the "Software error..."
requestor, I get a blank (white or gray) screen. The 3 finger salute
brings up the GURU alert. Then either the "left button" (and right
button also, whats the difference?) or another 3 finger salute, will
re-boot the system. Why does this happen?
I am glad that ROM-Wack is avaliable, as I was able (through the Stack
Traceback) to determine where my program was going nuts. However, the
little doc I have on it, The "RKM: Libraries And Devices" manual isn't
really enough. Is there any other doc avaliable?
