MMU is not showing up in SysInfo
|
This is normal. While the 68K Family in general supports MMU. Each 68k MMU works differently and needs be programmed in its "own" way. As you will know a MMU is not meant to be used/programmed by any software or program. The MMU is a tool that only the operating system is allowed to use. As the MMU is used for managing Memory, the Design of MMU changed the same way a Memory Chips changed many times over the year. This means the the MMU of the 68030 made after some years not much sense .. and the 68040 has therefore a different MMU. Of course also the design of the 68040 made after some years not much sense ... And today a useful MMU would be done differently of course. You will recall the first Amiga was first sold with 0.25 MB only ... This was quickly doubled to 0.5 MB .. And later Amigas had 1 MB or 2MB and you could of course upgrade them. Today our Amiga comes with 512 MB.. Maybe we will have models with 2028 MB at some point. I think its very easy to understand that an MMU which was designed to manage 1-8 MB might do a very bad job when you have 100 MB or 1000 MB memory. As you know AMIGA OS does not use MMU. Its normal that SYSINFO by itself will not see /find a new MMU.
