FastOff 1.0 documentation
DISTRIBUTION
This software is FreeWare !
PURPOSE
You can use your mem expanded A1200 as a standard 2M Chip RAM machine without
pulling out the mem expansion from your machine. It is more useable, than
using the NoFastMem WB utility, because it is activated meanwhile the reset
mechanism. Naturally you can write to or read from the Fast mem, but the
operating system will ignore the full mem expansion.
It is worth using if:
- you want to test your prg (game/utility) on standard 2M Chip RAM that use
the OS
- you want to play with a game that runs only on Chip RAM machines
;-)you hate to use too much memory
;-)you want to enjoy the speed of a 2M machine (you can ;) on Amiga)
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
It works on Amiga 1200 with KickStart 3.0 !!! only. See the future.
And you have to own a mem expansion too. (I don't know if the prg works or not
on turbo cards.)
USAGE
Simple run it from CLI and push the reset buttons.
Notes: The FastOff doesn't work if you have run it once. So if you have 'turned
off' the Fast RAM with FastOff and the OS uses only the Chip RAM, the
FastOff will has no influence after resetting. The Fast RAM will
appear.
It will change the ColdCapture.
If you use the boot menu, the FastOff won't work. ;(
