- As you know, the GVP 3001's 32-bit memory was originally designed to
- map into the 24-bit address range of the original AmigaDOS to maximize
- software compatibility.
-
- Early model 3001's (mine among them) cannot change this address range.
- If you have the docs for your 3001 and there is no reference in the
- jumper settings for changing the address range, then you probably do not
- have the ability.
-
-
- If you really want to have advanced graphics, give up some of the
- 32-bit memory (i.e. drop 4 Megs) and change the jumper so there will be
- enough memory for the Picasso.
