Hard Drive Eating Up Chip RAM?
« on: October 11, 2013, 12:54:35 AM »
So whenever I plug in my hard drive, half of my 1 MB of chip is gone, even when booting from floppy so its not that the wb copy on the HD is loaded with garbage......If I disconnect the drive and leave the card installed (oktagon 2008) it comes back, so its not the card consuming the ram.
