- Subject: using RAD: drive with extended memory
- Lines: 28
-
- Ok, I have a GVP Series II 030/22 with 5 megs of ram (1 meg surface,
- 1 4 meg 32-bit simm) in a 2000 with 2.04. all of the memory on the
- board cannot be used as autoconfig (I would have to buy 4 more megs of memory
- for that, so I might as well buy a hard drive and then I wouldn't need a
- stinking RAD: would I :) NOTE: A G-Force 030 board CAN use this as
- autoconfig, the Series II cannot.
- This causes a little problem with the RAD: drive; it doesn't recover (so
- whats the point, eh?) This seems to be from the fact that the expanded
- memory list is not maintained on warm boot so the OS doesn't know where
- the rad: was. GVP was kind enough to tell me that I need autoconfig
- memory and that I just need to get some more memory (thanks guys!) which,
- of course, only they make. So, is there anyway to get the RAD: drive to
- mount in the 512k of autoconfig fast ram that my 2000 came with? And there
- by hopefully allowing it to recover?
-
- Thanks for any help!
- and please note that any comments which appear to have an bit of malice
- behind them are due to the fact that I just read though that stupid
- thread on the falcon that is totaly misplaced in comp.sys.amiga.misc. It
- was just so stupid I couldn't manage to tear myself away and in the process
- just generally pissed myself off more. I really gotta learn some self
- control and quit out of that kinda stuff! :)
