Questions for someone who knows some about ram and roms...

Well, that reply does not help. If you say it is not possible, WHY is it not possible? Possible or not, this is exactly what has happened on my end.

There is no way to move RAM from chip memory to fast memory without doing a modification to the motherboard. It can not be done in software.

It's still chip memory, even if the OS thinks it isn't.

Yeah. I'd written a simple utility for a friend of mine to solve this problem. This tiny assembler hack set the FASTMEM flag on the CHIPMEM chunk, so the system apparently sees the RAM twice (not really, but Workbench does). Surprisingly (or not so) this caused zero problems since all allocated mem was allocated from both lists - which are always identical, of course.

Back to mongo's post: he's completely right, there's definitely no way to move the RAM address ($080000 to $C00000) without modifying the board jumpers (or maybe an MMU). It simply is physically impossible. :roll:

Some degraders did also trick 1 MB Chip to act as 0.5 +0.5 "fast".

RAM = Random Access Memory

ROM = Read Only Memory


I thought we covered all of this in Computer Acronyms 101?
