- Say WHAT??? I thought the whole 'beauty' of the 2620/2630 accelerator boards
- was the fact that their *32bit* ram was 'outside' of the standard Amiga
- autoconfig ram space, and thus with a BB, you could have 6Meg of 16Bit
- ram in the 'standard' autoconfig address [+ 1Meg of chip / 2Meg of chip if
- you have MegaChip/a 3000 for a total of 7/8Meg] and however much 32bit
- ram that was supported by the board [like the 112 meg that you can stuff
- on the DKB memory board for the 2630card] thus, making the BB system much
- more viable/useable...
-
- Can anybody [Dave Haynie you 'listening' ?] support this/refute this please!?
-
- -dcp / a very confused SOON to be owner of a 2000 + BB that was hoping to have
- more than 7/8Meg of ram in his machine...
