- Interesting results. I'm still waiting for someone to do a PROPER test of
- games on an A1200. By booting with caches off in ECS mode with SKICK (if
- you can use it) you should run a great deal of stuff. Degrader may help
- things too. Also, by adding FastRAM some games will run that assume you
- have at least a half-meg of Fast-mem (unless they stupidly look for it in
- the A501 address space). I'm surprised no one has been able to do a test
- with FastRAM-equipped A1200. When I get my A1200, one of the first things
- I'll be doing is adding FastRAM. You can't expect to get much speed out of
- the '020 without it.
-
- BTW, official A1200HD units with factory-installed HDs are shipping in
- Canada, in case anyone hasn't heard, so should be or already are shipping
- in other places I'd imagine.
