- MakeFastMem v1.0
- ====================
-
- MakeFastMem is a little program that changes a chunk of ChipRAM to FastRAM.
- At least the OS is fooled to believe that. The reason for doing this is
- because some people (programmers) believs that they MUST ask for FastRAM, and
- believe that the user always has that.
- That is really stupid, and has caused problems for a number of people with
- 1 Mb ChipRAM for example.
-
- The program can be used both from the CLI and the Workbench. From CLI you
- start MakeFastMem by simply writing:
-
- MakeFastMem <size>
-
- where <size> is the size of the FastRAM chunk you want, in bytes. For
- example, "MakeFastMem 307200" will create 300 Kb of "FastRAM" (and you lose
- 300 Kb of ChipRAM of course).
-
- From the Workbench you just double-click on the MakeFastMem icon and the
- memory will be changed from ChipRAM to FastRAM. You have to specify the size
- of the FastRAM in the ToolTypes-field, by setting FASTMEM to the size you
- want. For example, setting the tooltype to:
-
- FASTMEM=307200
-
- will make MakeFastMem to create 300 Kb of FastRAM when you double-click on
- its icon.
- Once you have changed some chipmem to "fastmem" it will stay that way until
- you reboot (or writes a hack to reclaim it).
-
- This code is released in the Public Domain, feel free to modify and improve
- it if you want, especially the terrible icon...
