CRT and 500 Mhz.

Does anyone out there have a 500Mhz machine and are able to use your
BP7.01 CRT unit without ANY problems? If so, please tell me where you
got your patch.

I still have a 133 Mhz machine, but I might want to upgrade someday and
I'd like to know what to expect. :-) Thanks in advance.

I used the standard patch that converts the delay counter to a longint
type.  It's pretty standard, and to my knowledge works on at least
Celleron 333 machines.  To date however, it's unnecessary on AMD K6/II
up to 400Mhz tested here.

I have software out there that was fixed with the new patch.  My
customers are using Pentiums upto 500 MHz with no problems.

Hi!

The CRT-bug (RTE 200) could occur. You can download a replacement-file for
CRT-unit on http://members.xoom.com/goldman47/index.htm / MISCELLANEOUS .
That file will correct the bug.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I hear that there is more than one patch out
there. Where did you get the one
that you mentioned above?

Evidently too few people have both read and thought about the section of
the metaFAQ which reads :

 -  If you have used one of the RTE200 patches. You are unlikely to get
    any useful help unless you tell us: whose patch; from where;
    BP/TP; Version Number; Real or Protected Mode; DOS/Win3/Win9x/?; and
    *exactly* what the symptoms were and what the output was.

The number of fixes is legion; and some are reputable.

<sigh> :-( If your assumption is that I'm having an RTE200 problem, I'm not. As I
said in my original
post, I still have a 133 Mhz computer but I want to know what to expect when I
upgrade. I simply want
to know if anyone has beaten the 500 Mhz limit with ANY ONE of the patches that are
out there on
any type of machine for BP7.01.

This was also the intent of a previous message of mine and actually I'm already
getting some satisfactory replies this time.

There have been occasional reports that 'it did not work' but requests
for full info. - as per Meta-FAQ request and similar requests in the
newsgroup from some regulars - have not generated any response. Patching
the 16bit code to 32bit will go into the Ghz range of CPU speed so you
should have no problem in applying one of these patches.

You can certainly expect your programs using the CRT unit to fall over
with RTE200 unless patched.

See the Mini-FAQ [address in .Sig] for locations of the patches.

No; I'm reinforcing your "more than one patch ..." point.
