RAD into Fast RAM?

[Thomas]

Not sure what your machine is but on ALL my A1200s with fast ram RAD: automatically places itself in FAST RAM and only goes to CHIP RAM if that's all you have...

If only people would read what more skilled people write before they reply. Piru has explained it already: if the accelerator's RAM survives a reset, then RAD can go to fast-RAM. If you've got a cheap accelerator, then RAD goes to chip-RAM because your fast-RAM does not survive a reset.

O.K. can someone please post a link to an alternative to RAD, or something that will patch it to use Fast RAM that is easy to use?

Or point me an a nice friendly alternative to Track Saver GUI that will support StatRam:

I'd prefer to keep using Track Saver Gui though, it's so nice!!!

I wonder what you need this RAD for if you only use it to create ADFs. There are means to mount ADFs directly as virtual floppy drives without writing them to RAM.

For example

Why do you think that TSGUI does not support StatRAM? Both SD0 and PC4 appear in TSGUI's device list and can be read and written to.

Ahem... and what make you think Piru is "more skilled" than me... cheeky bugger... :razz:

His replies are of higher quality. Your posts usually contain only guesswork.
