Title: Something new and interesting for A1200
Post by: amigakit on November 24, 2020, 10:29:54 AM

Something new that we have been getting excited about for the last few months.

I don't think this has been done for the Amiga 1200 before?

@amigakit

This looks really useful. When is it going to be released?

This is indeend an interesting product. The description notes NVRAM 8x the size, does this mean only 8kB, not more? Are there any constrains which prevent more space?

The 8KB is just the extended CD32 nonvolatile library support which has been added as a bonus to it.

Would it be useful to have more slots than 8 ?

Thanks.

Sure, more is always better. On the original CD32 one had to protect the most favourite save for not getting deleted by the next one that required half of all space.
Some games are using 50 to 80 blocks (* 10 bytes).

It’s me again, always asking the dumb questions ... this tool uses MUI, yet you are developing your own custom Reaction classes - why isn’t this tool Reaction? :)
