- There should be a jumper on your GVP board [rummaging thru GVP manual]
- Aha! Leave J12 open, and that'll configure all of the ram on your GVP board
- to be above $00FFFFFF. That'll letcha have up to 9 megs of ram on your A2000
- motherboard while allowing you to fully populate your GVP board as well! Note
- that ou won't be able to run a whole lot of 32-bit impure programs like
- AmigaBASIC and many Mac apps in your GVP ram after you open this jumper block!
