Title: looking for a1k 512k piggyback hack
Post by: koaftder on November 25, 2007, 09:56:54 PM
Does anybody have the procedure to carry out this hack that was featured in 1987 Amazing Computing Volume 2 Number 1?

I found a reference to it here (http://www4.ncsu.edu/~hgm/amiga/a1000mem.txt)

And I found the kickmem utility.

I assume this is for the A1000? I would like to see it also if so.

If someone has 6 megs of web space available, let me know - I'll send you the scanned Amazing Computing article (text and pictures) for your posting pleasure.

The pics are too big to post as photos here.
