Probably stick it as early in your startup-sequence as possible, so the memory is added as quickly as possible?

You saw this?

Quote
The "MagicMem" program operates automatically, and does not require any input from the user. If there is a 1-meg SIMM installed in te DKB 1202 card (and the jumper settings correctly reflect this configuration), the program will add this memory to the computer. If there are two 4-meg SIMMs installed (and the jumpers are set for 4 megabytes), the program will check the existence of a PCMCIA card. If none are present, the entire 4megabytes of memory will be added in its normal address space. If such a card is present, however, 1.5 megabytes out of the second 4 megabytes will be added at the $C00000 address space for a total of 5.5 megabytes, the maximum amount of expansion RAM that can be added when a PCMCIA card is in use.

For advanced users, there are two ToolType options which may be set by selecting the "MagicMem" program icon, and selecting the "Information" menu item from the "Icons" menu of the Workbench screen. The NO4MEG ToolType will always add the second bank of memory at the $C00000 address space, so that you can never have more than 5.5 megabytes of expansion RAM. The NOC00000 ToolType will never add the second bank of memory at the $C00000 address. If you use both ToolTypes, the second bank of memory will never be added.

Well, since it talks about tooltypes, you should be able to run it either through the shell or in WBStartup.  Since it's adding memory to your system the general recommendation would be to run it as early as possible.

Copy the command to your C: directory

Open a shell command prompt (usually in the System directory) and type:

ed s:Startup-Sequence

Add the name of the command at the very top

Press Esc+x to save and exit

Don't change anything other than adding that one command.  If it doesn't work there, try putting it in a little lower.  You should probably google and do some research on editing Amiga startup-sequences.  ;)

Are your guru's because you run out of memory?  Or because MaxTransfer is set wrong on the CF?  (file copying errors)  Something else for you to learn about, probably.  ;)

Try it with an ACA accelerator, instead.  I think they map their memory outside the address space used by the PCMCIA.  Also 3.1 might help.  Good luck!
