What's eating my RAM?

[Michele31415]

No, I didn't know about SnoopDOS.  But for the time being, I'm going with the theory that I really am using 4 meg. running 3.9.  I guess I'll just boot my 3.1 from a floppy when I want to use the Bridgeboard.

Thanks guys.  Those are all good suggestions.  Tomorrow I'll see if I can nail down the address space question and then I'll try replacing the 8-Up with the DKB2632 and see what that does.

"The DKB2632 should solve the memory problems. Remove the 8-up and your good to go"

Ding!  You got it!  I feel kind of silly now because I was holding off  on adding the 2632 until I figured out the 8-Up vs. 2088 issue, but the  solution all along was to simply pull the 8-Up and add the 2632.  Doh!  I  now have a mountain of fast ram and the Bridgeboard still works.  Check  it out:

(I tried to post a screen shot here but I guess I don't know how to do that - it came out as text and I had to remove it - anyway, the number is 123730944)

I know it seems a bit silly to get so excited over 112 meg of ram when  my PC has 4 gig, but somehow seeing a 9 digit number of the Amiga is  very cool.  Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this one.

Is the A2088 still present in your Amiga ?
It takes 2MB of ZII 16bit memory space (and drain 1,5 A).
Remove it physically, please

N'avait pas besoin.  I know the 2088 seems like a dog, but it's actually useful, if for nothing other than its ability to read my collection of 5.25" floppies.
