Hey Mike, I was wondering if you might explain a little on exactly what each software used for performance does for your system, what OS you use the software for and where to download each one. I found the TLSFmem no problem and I think the Thor MMU libraries on AmiNet but not sure if they are the latest versions. Couldn't find what may be the latest version of workbench.library or Env-Handler. What exactly do you notice that improves system performance from TLSFmem? What does the MMU libraries do and would it interfere if using ACATune with one of Jens' accelerators? Also, what does a newer workbench.library and Env-Handler do? I always worry about installing things like this due to dependencies and backing them out if something goes wrong. I did unpack and run from a command line the TLSFmem and got no error so I assume it ran ok resident... what should I expect to happen? ;)

Wow! Thanks for the reply! I'll digest and get back tomorrow...
IMT, here's another accelerator I have which does have MMU and maprom function thru ACATune... https://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1113

As far as workbench.library goes you mean it's part of the kickstart rom chip itself and needs a software patch to replace at startup? Is a new workbench.library something that peeps burn onto custom rom chips? Hmmm, always wondered about that.

The version of TLSFmem I download I believe is 1.4 from here: http://www.platon42.de/cgi-local/navbar.pl?0000&download.html#tools  Is this Chris Hodges site? Oh, never mind... I see that it is.

Well, get some Zzzzzz my friend & catch ya tomorrow. BTW, I couldn't believe it, but the ice storm tracking east totally missed us by maybe only 20 miles to our south here in GR Mich ALL DAY!

Just noticed... you said "PS - did you see my response in the other thread about the AD516?  It rocks!"
I don't think I did...  link? Did you get it working? I need a 3.1 rom for my A2000 before I can start that project... gotta wait till I can justify an order from AmigaKit or get one from someone here or fleabay.

Excellent!  For anyone who comes along in the future, here's a link:

http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/IconLib_46.4
 
This is a must-have for any Amiga system, IMHO.  :hammer:

OK, just D/L'ed and installed (too Easy with OS3.5)... Jumpin Jenny!!! Screen draw of icons is blazingly FAST! How did I ever miss this before? :insane: And icons no longer suck up all my chip mem!!! Thanks Mike!!!!
