Hi there!
I had some (perhaps crazy) idea of running MagicMac under ShapeShifter. The
problem is that MagicMac requires the MMU with a predefined pagesize of
8192/16384 (as far as I know) bytes. Since the AmigaOS does not use the
MMU it should be possible to change the pagesize before starting
ShapeShifter. I found a VMEM program that could change the pagesize to the
desired value and - MagicMac loaded! But some (more or less) short time after
the desktop appears the system crashes which may be due to conflicts in the
MMU useage of the VMEM prog and MagicMac. So does anyone know a tool that
just changes the page size without touching the MMU in other ways?
If yes please let me know. eMail preferred since I don't read this group too
regular.

Thanks,
