I'm pretty sure that one of the options can specify what ram to use, perhaps flags.
As for the 8MB jumper, I believe it is there in case you do not find any 2MB module to use for chip, and want to use a 4MB or 8MB module instead. Only 2MB will show up in the system, regardless.

You really are a pretentious little git aren't you...

His posts and yours especially are generally written in a form that tries to boost your over inflated ego, by using as much technical wording as you can to try and make yourself look clever...

I on the other hand try to keep my posts to a level that folk in general will find easy to understand and solve their problems without trying to baffle them with huge numbers and technical jargon that is not required to solve the issue...

I'd always reckoned you were the type who likes nothing better than to make himself come across as a know it all and today you've just confirmed for me that is indeed the case...

As for guesswork, try again smart arse, 25 years of programming and using Amigas is a lot more than just guesswork, what's the matter don't you like it when someone else tries to give out advice and treads on your over inflated ego...:rolleyes:

But the mask is internally always ORed with MEMF_KICK. Thus if you try to force MEMF_FAST and your fast memory doesn't have MEMF_KICK the RAD mount will fail.

Sure, but at least you tried. I can also imagine situations where one specifically want to use chip ram, even when there is plenty of fast ram.

I tried using FastRAM off Aminet, but low and behold, I could not make sense out of the docs.

I know I pulled this off years ago, but am not having luck now.

All I want is RAD to go into my FAST RAM, and I want to be able to tell it not to remember its contents upon reboot.

P.S. I'll prolly be using BlizKick soon once I figure it out, I've heard that can cause issues...


What accelerator do you have?

As others have said, RAD can only use warmcapture RAM.

As soon as I saw you were online I guessed it wouldn't be long before you opened your big gob...

No mission here pal, if what I say upsets your cosy wee world then tough luck...

I don't have a problem, seems to me you're the one with the problem, can't handle it when someone speaks the truth and says it like it is, go take a hike..

There are ways of replying to people.  Yes Piru can be abrupt and Thomas is very to the point.  But there is the language/culture barrier as well.
 
It really does not seem to take anything to grind your gears.
 
Must look, there must be way so I dont see your pointless drivel

You've been here a lot longer than me and you don't even know how to put someone on your ignore list, not very bright are you...

You may not like my pointless drivel but you seem to read it often enough then go out of your way to respond to it, methinks your confused as well as  being Welsh... :lol:

Still there is hope even for you his dudeness the dude has kindly started up a nice wee group where hopeless cases like you can go and get some help & rehab for your obvious addiction... :)

Nothing grinds my gears mate, just love sitting here and watching folk like yourself getting into a flap about mere words typed on a screen and who can't tell the difference between the real world and this place called the internet... ;)

About 11 years I think.This site has gone through many revisions and board software in time I been on here. Never had the want to ignore people in the past. There is just something about your posts that makes me Angry. Must be my issue.

Well I've said it before and I'll say it gain "never take anything I have to say too seriously"...

Sorry but I can't help you with your anger and I aint gonna change the way I write things to please anyone, best advice I can give is either put me on your ignore list (plenty of others have) or lighten up a wee bit and take my posts in the spirit there meant to be taken, ie: not too seriously and with humour... :)

Hi,

Nope, dont even think of changing that jumper to the 8 Meg setting.

It has nothing to do with using SIMMs.

It was part of a motherboard development which never happened.

See  http://wonkity.com/~wblock/a4000hard/mbjumper.html

"J213: Chip RAM: 2M or 8M

1-2 Closed: 2M Chip RAM (default).

2-3 Closed: 8M Chip RAM. This option was apparently for use with the never-released AAA chip set, and won't work in a normal A4000."


Regards, Michael

RAD's icon info looks as it should.

And I'm using an Apollo 060 for my extra RAM.
