- I suggest you try "Degrader" - this enables you to lots of things with memory;
- you can disable Fast Ram and maybe (can`t remember) disable some of it if you
- know what you are doing. Once the degrading settings are enabled, you can
- either make them take effect immediately, or better, make them take effect
- after a reset(s).
-
- This has been very useful on my A1200/`030 - I think Degrader works with 1.3
- machines....
-
- You could also try BootUte2 which used to be shareware, but as developement
- has stopped he has made it PD, with no features disabled. This may also help
- you.
-
- Both are available on the Aminet.
