Does a hard drive eat chip mem?
« on: May 08, 2011, 09:51:36 AM »
Ok, another weird problem with my A600 with an CF-HD =) :

I tried installing Fury of The Furries and Brian The Lion and always get the same error "not enough memory". It makes no difference if I boot to WB 2.05 or without the startup-sequence.

The A600 has only the basic 1mb chip mem, and I know that this causes a lot of hassle and I should get the chip mem upgrade.

But when I tried to boot the Fury of The Furries from floppies, I still got the  "not enough mem" error.
I removed the CF-HD and the game booted fine then. This bother's me a little, does a HD really eat away some memory even if a game is "cold booted" from a floppy?

Oh, and I have the basic kickstart 2.05 installed on my A600.
A1200, Blizzard 1260 + 64mb, Indivision AGA, Subway USB, 8GB CF-HD, PCMCIA network card, OS 3.9.
And a couple of A600\'s :).

It's strange that most of the games I tried to install to my A600
wont run, always the "not enough mem" error.
Leisure Suit Larry 5 ran just fine with the 1mb chip ram :lol:...
It would be cool to know what the original manual of, lets say
Fury Of The Furries says about how much you need ram to run the game from HD.
