For the very brief time I had an Efika, I noticed OWB 1.5 was a monster resource hog and actually loaded pages slower than 1.4. And under OS2.4, out of the supposed 128mb available: only 79mb was left. Don't remember if OS2.3 was less hungry, but wouldn't be surprised. The Efika and MorphOS really do need more memory than 128mb.

Just stumbled onto something today that may be of relevance: GigaMem. Has anyone tried this on their Efika system? Wish I would have known I had it when I had my machine. Might have solved some of these memory issues. This program creates virtual memory from any mass storage device up to 1GB for an Amiga system...

I'm guessing it also requires an 68k processor with an MMU?


DOH! Yeah, that's right. This product is from '92 and the manual does state 020+. There goes that idea :(  I was narrowly stuck in Workbench compatible mode. lol
