A4000 Systems 

On A4000/040 systems, the Enforcer program should not be necessary (see the 
 A3000  section), but you should verify proper 
operation of the GG2 Bus+ yourself.  Note that since the A4000/030 card 
typically uses a Motorola 68EC030 (which does not have an MMU), you will
not be able to run Enforcer.  This is a problem because of differences between
the '040 CPU card and the 'EC030 CPU card; the '040 card has a different idea
of how to maintain its cache and does not try to cache the portion of the
memory map that contains the GG2 Bus+ board, while the 'EC030 board does try
to cache that area.  Normally, the solution would be to run Enforcer when
using a GG2 Bus+ board in an A4000/030, but Enforcer requires an MMU to do
its job.  Because of these factors, the only viable solution is to disable
data cache entirely while using the GG2 Bus+ in an A4000/030.  No information
is available at this time regarding 68060 accelerator cards.

On an A4000 system, depending on the speed of the PC card you are using, 
you may be able to run the GG2 Bus+ with "zero wait state" operation 
for a possible speed increase.  The default is for one wait state to be 
added to each bus cycle.  To change this, you must turn off the wait states 
using the  SwitchControl  program provided in the software package.  If you 
experience no data loss, system crashes, or other errors, you may consider 
moving the wait state jumper on the GG2 Bus+ board from the "on" to the 
"off" setting, in order to have the "wait states off" as the default mode 
on power up and after software reboots. 

Note:  The wait state mode can be changed at any time through software 
using the  SwitchControl  program.
