-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

MuFastZero will remap the zero page of the RAM, which usually contains

the autovectors for interrupts, from ChipMem to FastMem. It will *NOT* change

the

vector base register because this might result in certain incompatibilities.

It moreover replaces FastExec, which is really a bad hack, by providing a

method to relocate a chip memory based exec and expansion library to fastest

memory and hence speed up the system even more. For that, the "preparation"

tool "MuMove4K" must be run, which is contained in this archive. "MuMove4K"

replaces also the ShapeShifter "PrepareEmul" tool by something smarter.

Last but not least, MuFastZero can be told to remap the supervisor stack

to Fast memory as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in release 40.21.1:

MuFastZero remained unchanged, but MuMove4K was bumped to release 47.1.

This release of MuMove4K includes the following changes:

If all system resources are out of the low chip memory area, MuMove4K performs

now only minimal action to preapre the system for emulation, or exits

immediately. This may prevent a reboot on Os 3.1.4 or above as exec reserves

there sufficient memory anyhow. The 47.1 also fixes one defect when scanning

the devices system list.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This tool is part of the MMULib distribution. To find out more about the

mmu.library and its goals, download util/libs/MMULib.lha.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick installation notes:

- Copy LIBS/mmu.library to LIBS:

- Copy MuTools/MuFastZero and MuTools/MuMove4K to C:

- If you want the FastExec feature, run "MuMove4K" in front

of "SetPatch". Add the "PREPAREEMUL" option if you want to

make use of the ShapeShifter. Add "NOREBOOT" if SetPatch V44

reboots the system on startup anyhow.

- Run MuFastZero in C: with the desired options.

- Read the MMU.Guide and MuFastZero.guide/MuMove4K.guide as soon

as you've some time.
