saga.card	Picasso96 plugin for AmigaOS and AROS

saga.card

• Supports 320x240 and 640x480 at 60Hz
• Can display in 8 bit palette mode, 15 bit hicolor, 16 bit hicolor, 24-bit RGB, and 32-bit RGB.
• Works with both Picasso96 for AmigaOS, or with AROS

Accepts the following Monitor tooltype:

• VideoMemSize=xxxxx

xxxx can be bytes, xxxxK (kilobytes), or xxxxM (megabytes)

Compilation

This driver is designed to be compiled via the AROS ABIv1 m68k crosscompiler.

The saga-card metamake target will build the ELF file into your AROS target directory, as AROS:Libs/Picasso96/saga.card

Use the AROS elf2hunk tool to convert the ELF to AmigaOS HUNK format, to use it on an AmigaOS system.

Installation (AmigaOS)

• Install Picasso96. Select only the uaegfx driver during installation.
• Rename SYS:Devs/Monitors/uaefgx to SYS:Devs/Monitors/SAGA in Workbench
• Modify the SAGA icon's tooltypes, and set BoardType=saga
• Copy saga.card to SYS:Libs/Picasso96/saga.card
• Reboot, and use SYS:Prefs/Picasso96Mode to attach the SAGA board to the modes
• Reboot, and use SYS:Prefs/ScreenMode to select the SAGA screen mode

sagasd.card

• Supports SD and SDHC devices

Compilation

This driver is designed to be compiled via the AROS ABIv1 m68k crosscompiler.

The saga-sd metamake target will build the ELF file into your AROS target directory, as `AROS:Devs/sagasd.device

Use the AROS elf2hunk tool to convert the ELF to AmigaOS HUNK format, to use it on an AmigaOS system.

Installation (AmigaOS)

• Copy the HUNK version of sagasd.device to DEVS:
• Install 'GiggleDisk' from AmiNet for automatic partition support
• Create a C:IconX script with the following content:

; Semi-automatic mounting for SAGA SD devices
; Requires 'GiggleDisk' from AmiNet to be in your
; path - see http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/giggledisk.lha
;
If EXISTS T:SDMount
    Echo "SD has already been mounted:"
    Echo ""
    Echo "Partitions"
    Echo "----------"
    Cd T:SDMount
    List LFORMAT="    %s:" ~(#?.info)
    Echo ""
    Ask "[EXIT]"
Else
    MakeDir T:SDMount
    GiggleDisk DEVICE=sagasd.device UNIT=0 PREFIX=SD TO=T:SDMount
    Mount >NIL: T:SDMount/~(#?.info)
