Where did my RAM go after upgrading to OS 3.1.4?
« on: April 03, 2019, 08:33:49 PM »
Hi all, I am running a stock A1200 at the moment and have just
upgraded to 3.1.4.  Strange before upgrading and after startup my
Amiga would have 1.2 mgs available.  Now I am only left with 725k,
where did the ram go and is it possible to get it back?
Truly appreciate any help.
Brad Hansen

Hi and Thanks for chipping in but my Roms are 3.1.4 and not 3.1.
Now could you explain what you mean by the files are in my Ram disk?
Thanks,
Brad Hansen

Gulliver, Thanks for hanging there. I don't think I am running anything unusual
on my Amiga. I do switch between SquirrelSCSI CDRom and a CF0:card and have
an IDE 4 gig drive but nothing else.  I run a 8 color Workbench at 672 x  271.
There is hardly anything in my Ram:ENV folder, so I am really at a total loss
as to where that ram is going...

Okay, so I was thinking that maybe some of my ram went bad.  I disconnected
my IDE drive and just loaded my system with 3.1.4 floppys and now I have 1.385 mgs free...
Go figure...

Gulliver, Yes, but for the life of me I have no idea what it is.  Will be updating to BestWB
today when I come back from the dentist...
