Ditch OS3.9?

[blobrana]

Hehe, you can never have enough speed...

if you need the speed then go for os3.1...that is what i use on my amiga...Most of the OS3.9 additions can be replaced with (better?) third-party software.
But i have os3.9 on my WinUAE setup just for the visuals and third party incompatability...

But i would say that it would be a lot better to invest in 3.1 roms  (in the future) or just as cheap to buy a secondhand a1200 (with 3.1?)...

Yes, a ROM that has been softkicked into RAM (even chip RAM) is faster ...(who doesn`t do that?)
Hehe, what i was saying was that the OS3.1 was FASTER... :-D

[blobrana]

Wow, dude!
A bit strong there, but true, ...hehe. :-D

Sry, last post was @Ryu...

Skick doesn`t use fastram....

Please get the proper rom chips....well worth the saving up and the wait...

[blobrana]

OK,
That is good. And i assume that you can see the 8Mb on the top bar and that it`s physically seated correctly in the socket.
As a guess ,run a memtest (aminet)  just to be sure...

It must be the location of the SKick entry in the startup-sequence... move it just above the IPrefs command. see if that helps...
remember certain programs (sry, if you know this) only use chip mem...

Can the speed of the ram (80ns) have anything to do with it...

@neofree
it wont move the kick start, but will save some chip that is used by a few programs

@machinehead

add this to your startup-sequence to fix the corruption...

Sry,  i must have not remembered it correctly...fast ram is faster than rom, while ,

Chip ram is, well, slow? hehe.
