- I am becomming a little frustrated with the lack of mem in my A2500
- now I am using ShapeShifter.
-
- I have 8 meg FAST and 1 meg Chip made up of 4 meg 32bit on an A2630
- and 4 meg 16bit on a GVP HC+8
-
- Having installed a Picasso II and so lost 2 meg of autoconfig ram it
- is a bit tight running MAC mem hungry applications.
-
- I am looking at drastic measures such the hardware hack by Dirk Timmermann
- and Thomas Riedel on making the board 8meg or 16meg ( from Aminet).
-
- Has any tried this hack and did it work and how reliable was the A2630
- after :-). It has been rock solid since I bought it.
-
- On another note will this hack give me more contiguous mem as SS
- requires this. At present the A2630 and GVP mem merge into a block and
- even with Picasso II board in I still get contiguous mem of 6 meg (
- Setcpu HEAD option is great )
-
- Are the pals still available from the authors?
-
- Thanks
