John, I don't know who told you that you would have 1/2 MB of fast ram still available, but it wasn't true. You can't get something for nothing (TANSTAAFL), so 1/2 MB of fast ram was shifted over to become chip ram. Since your machine had only 1 MB total ram, now you have no fast ram. The solution, of course, is to buy some expansion ram if you need fast ram. Heck, it's wise just to buy some anyway, since the amiga works better with a couple of meg or so of ram. I'm sorry that it happened this way. Brian J. Bartlett
