Title: Commodore 2091 SCSI controller Question
Post by: barney on April 02, 2012, 01:30:12 AM

Does adding 2 mb to the 2091 only allow this memory to be reserved as Buffer use or can it also be used by the system for other tasks such as games, etc.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it will add to overall system RAM.
