Re: [MiNT] Networking problems



Yes, same problem at lower frequencies.

Initially, I was using an older revision CPU.

Then I buyed a Rev 6. 71E41J CPU and used it at 66Mhz (my CT60 didn't
have the CTCM), I also flashed my CT60. It was more stable but always
got some crashes that I attributed to buggy software. Also, I wasn't
using MiNT.

Then I begin to use FreeMiNT and was a little disappointed by memory
protection often killing my apps.

Recently, I got the chance to get added a CTCM like module by R.Czuba
and 95 Mhz became reality. And crashes do not seem to be more frequent
(In fact some days it seems stable and other days, I get frequent
crashes)

CTCPI came in the same shipment; I added a Radeon 9200 and this part
seems stable.

I tried to test SDRAM stability with a program called TTRAMTST, but
never got any error. But maybe there is a better tool ?

I have all last "firmwares" (CT60 ABE/SDR, BOOT v2..)
I used MiNT 1.16.3, 1.16-CUR, and now I'm using 1.17.0 and 1.18-CUR
(Stoop, HDDriver 8.31, NVDI 5.03, TeraDesk 4.0x).

Thanks,
Sébastien.
