68060 INSIDE

I recently found a couple of spoof Intel Inside logos on a BBS,
converted to read 68040 Inside (I guess Motorola Inside wouldn't
fit...) and since I'm on an A4000/060 I DPAINTed one into the
equivalent for the current flagship. And here it is. Maybe
someone will like it (whether they've got a 68060 or not...)

It's in 640 x 512 pixels for PAL interlace,  DBLPAL or overscan
productivity mode screens. Derived from a freeware 68040 equivalent
found on Megatronix's BBS in 1996.

STATUS 

Freely distributable/editable, etc.

REQUIREMENTS

PicBoot or similar to load picture during startup. See Fish disk
AmigaLibDisk718:BootPic, freeware by Andreas Ackermann. You could
also use this as a workbench backdrop, but might want to change
the colours!

CPU SIFTING NOTES

Instructions for an automatic CPU test, to stop
it boasting when it should not (e.g. when you've
changed CPU cards back for Copyback-hating code).

peek lib=exec 297 >env:CPU
if $CPU eq 127
   echo "68040"  
else
  if $CPU eq 255
   echo "68060"
  endif
endif

The above example uses my PEEK+POKE from Aminet
util/cli, to test the CPU type flag in EXECBASE.

I modified my WB3 startup sequence this way to
display the appropriate 68060 or 68040 logo, or
none for lesser CPUs. Insert after BINDDRIVERS:

IF EXISTS DEVS:Monitors
  IF EXISTS DEVS:Monitors/VGAOnly
    DEVS:Monitors/VGAOnly
  EndIF
  List >NIL: DEVS:Monitors/~(#?.info|VGAOnly) TO T:M LFORMAT "DEVS:Monitors/%s"
  Execute T:M
  ; CPU identification for startup screen
  peek lib=exec 297 >env:CPU
  if $CPU eq 127
    PicBoot Work:Bootpic/68040_inside DETACH
  else
    if $CPU eq 255
      PicBoot Work:Bootpic/68040inside DETACH
    endif
  endif
  Delete >NIL: T:M
EndIF

This just inserts code to load the 060 screen as soon
as the default monitor (and alternative) is set up.
Of course this should really be put in User-startup
but by the time that runs booting is nearly complete!

If you want the original 68040 version, let me know by
email.
