Short: Use the Picasso-II as fastram expansion
Author: Nicola Soggia <nsoggia@telnetwork.it>
Uploader: nsoggia@telnetwork.it
Version: 33.10
Type: hard/drivr
Requires: non-segmented Picasso-II card
Replaces: hard/drivr/apm3304.lha
APM 33.10 (27.01.96) third Aminet release
APM turns the Picasso-II graphics card in a cheap fast-ram expansion, I
already published it on SAN a year ago, but never on Aminet.
I know it's a shame to waste the graphics capabilities of this card and
use just its memory, but my A3000 has still V36 ROM's and sometimes I
fallback to kickstart 1.3 to play some game... Under 1.3 The Picasso-II
can't be used as graphics card, and its memory stays there doing nothing!
I have 2 Mb chip and 8 Mb fast, and the Zorro2 bus performance is not so
exciting: Zorro2 memory cards are much slower than chip ram on A3000's,
but one night I was thinking to all the A2000ers who maybe may like a
utility like this: how about a 1Mb or 2Mb fast ram expansion for free?
