- now the kcs board allowed me the option to use that half meg as a ram
- disk or as fast ram (i thought). Before i got my hard disk the half
- meg was a ram disk but once i installed my hard disk i completely forgot
- to install the kcs ram disk thus (i thought) leaving the half meg as
- fast ram BUT
-
- after several upgrades of the kcs board (software based by the way
- the kcs board is a pc emulator and good at it) i think my extra
- kcs half meg had made my chip ram upto 1 meg of chip ram.(i dont
- know how)
-
- The only reason i know this is that a computer magazine (cant remember
- which one) gave away a demo of ceaser but it would only work if you
- had 1 meg chip ram. So my cousin who lives with also has an amiga
- his being a 1.3 a500 without a kcs board tried the demo but to
- no avail.
-
- So i tried out the demo. (i think i may have copied to my hd can't
- remember) and to my amazement it worked!! (Total Amazement). My
- cousin and i could'nt understand how but i figured it was the extra
- half meg which i think, not to sure but i believe the kcs board
- had defaulted the half meg to chip ram. (I have the old chip set)
-
- So i believe there must be a way to turn your memory somehow into
- 1 meg chip ram.
- How this helps
