I can verify that it is BB1. As I said in my original post, I backed up my
OS 3.1 partition to a bootable ZIP disk before installing OS 3.5. I did the
same thing with OS 3.5 before installing BB1.
If I boot with 3.1 or 3.5 I have tha same amount of Fast RAM left. Aprox.
27 megs. When I boot with BB1 I have aprox. 20 megs. So, it is definately
BB1 here.
I have not gone through the startup scripts line by line yet but OS 3.5
does not touch them so they should all be very close. I have added a few
minor things (WBCtrl, etc.) but nothing that would use 7 megs of RAM.
For that matter, I don't have any program that uses that much RAM when run.
John
