Well it seems things are a little different then I originally thought...

Last night I booted with no Startup-Sequence and typed Avail and it actually reported my 8 megs of Fast Memory.

What is strange is that whenever I run SKick with the "Fast" parameter (to use only fast mem), it says it is unable to find a location to relocate the rom into.  Also, if I run the demo "Relic", it also fails saying I do not have enough Fast Memory.

Well, I boot to a WB3.0 floppy, and try to run SKick from Shell, it says the same exact thing, but when I run Relic, it boots up and works fine.

I tried moving my SKick line down to right before IPrefs as someone suggested, and this had no effect.

I may have to use FBlit to make my system run better, assuming that it is able to find my fast memory.

Any ideas?  Has anyone been able to use Fast Mem with SKick?

Thanks,

yes skick can be used with fastmem, but you need a specific relocation file for that rom image and as far as i know the 3.x relocation files that came with last release of skick do only support chipmem.

Well, I decided to Ditch OS3.9...

I put OS3.1 back on and MAN IS IT FASTER!  Since all  I really use my computer for is games, and as a backup to get on the internet, everything is going great.  Spent about 2 hours reloading it last night...  Got ton of games, IBrowse 2.3, Miami, AmIRC, Jabberwocky and a couple other things installed with no problems.  It's running really fast and does everything I need it to.

I will just get real KS3.1 ROMs.  But since I don't have any money, I will have to trade for them.  (I put a ad in the classifieds here.)  

Thanks,

Yes, a ROM that has been softkicked into RAM (even chip RAM) is faster


I have to correct you here - Chip RAM access is slower than ROM access! I read this on the Amiga Developer CD, so it must be true! ;-)
