- Only discovered this recently myself:
-
- if you use addmem (or romtag, I suppose: haven't actually tried) then you
- get more chip memory free the second and subsequent times you boot the
- machine. this is better than setxa. so use addmem, turn the machine on,
- reboot it at once, and (with my setup) you have 300k more chip memory free
- than you would using setxa.
-
- I've heard the ram is autoconfig if you have kickstart 3.1
-
- even with addmem, RAD: seems to use chip memory rather than fast memory
- (and so does kick13). will these use fastram if I get kickstart 3.1, does
- anyone know?

- Man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
