- I'm about to purchase the new 386sx Bridgecard, but I have a question
- about memory. I know with the BB installed I'm limited to 6 megs of 16 bit
- memory on the Amiga. I presently have 5 megs of 16 bit memory so this isn't
- a problem. However, I also have 4 megs of 32 bit memory on my 2630 card and
- I'm wondering if this is automatically mapped outside the normal 9 meg or
- not (In other words, will I still be cut off at 6 megs of ram?)
-
- The other thing is about the BB's memory. I've gotten the idea that it
- allows the Amiga to use up to 4 megs of its ram. I don't remember where I
- saw that and I'm wondering if its true (might have confused it with the
- golden gate 386 card?)
-
- Any help appreciated.
