- I have 12MB in my Amiga 3000 and only give like 8 megs to ShapeShifter, and
- run Netscape fine (I could probably get away with a few megs less, but the 8
- works good for me, so..)

- I'm sure someone else might be interested in the info.
-
- My configuration:
-
- Amiga 3000/25 with 12mb RAM (8 for Shapeshifter, as I mentioned)
- USR Courier 28.8k
- Shapeshifter 3.3
- System 7.5
- Netscape 1.12
-
- EGS/Spectrum 2MB, I run the mac on 800x600, 8-bit
- IOMega Zip
-
- So as you can see my config is fairly similar to yours and I run ShapeShifter
- just fine.
-
- The only complaint is that I also have a Multiface-III card that the modem is
- hooked up to, and as of yet, ShapeShifter running MacPPP/ShapeShifter does NOT
- get along well. If I put the modem on the internal serial port though, all is
- well. Still waiting for an answer from Christian about this, but other than
- that minor annoyance...
-
- I am not a registered ShapeShifter owner though so I can't access the Zip
- directly from the Mac side, although I do use an AmigaDOS Zip cart with a
- soft-hardfile for my main work disk on the Mac.
