Virtual memory on classic Amiga
« on: September 10, 2004, 04:22:00 AM »
When I had my A3k a few years back I remember downloading some aminet software that let you have virtual ram but I never did seem to get it to work.  Anyone ever tried any 'disk based' virtual ram?

I have Gigamem, which is a commercial virtual mem prog.
It was also installed on a A1200T system I bought a year ago.

I guess these days, now RAM is much cheaper, there is less demand for such programs....?

I beta tested one through several versions and it worked well as I remember. It was years ago and I can't remember the name at the moment.  Maybe Amiga VMM?

Strange, but a google search for gigamem turned up this:
http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/search.pl?product=oktagon

Its a link for a SCSI controller, yet there seems to be a DMS file with GigaMem v2.0 at the bottom of the description, perhaps worth a look...

Greetings,

GigaMem:
Quote

Only MC68020 and MC68030 supported yet.  


To add, on a '020 system would also require an MMU. Hope your A3k has such a CPU or better?

AmigaVMM is quite unstable on my A1200 in the long term. Meybe some application hates/conflicts with VMM.

Regards,

Gizz

Gigamem 3.0 supports the 040.  I used it back in the day on my A3000 to do image processing with AdPro.
