#GVP_030_Help_Needed
Greetings… I've recently installed a GVP 030 board in my A2000 and I'm
looking for some advice as to the best way to maximize performance and
memory.
I've got 4 megs of 32-bit RAM on the GVP, plus an additional 8 megs of
16-bit RAM on a Microbotics board. Also, I'm using a Fatter Agnus (not the
Fattest, though).
As far as configuring the GVP board, I've shorted the J12 jumper to
designate the 32-bit RAM as autoconfig. I also have the command
SYS:SYSTEM/MERGE MEM in my startup-sequence–left over from when I was just
using the Microbotics.
The biggest question I have concerns my available memory. The Workbench
(1.3) titlebar reads a max of 9052264; AVAIL from the Shell tells me I've
got a max of 8388576 fast RAM.
If anybody could steer me in the right direction here, I'd appreciate it!
My basic questions are: Have I configured the 030 board properly (with
respect to the existence of another 8 megs of 16-bit RAM on the
Microbotics? Also, should I (and HOW do I) insert the GVPCPUCtrl FASTROM
and ASYNC commands in my startupsequence? The GVP manual is vague about
this, I think.
Of course, any answers to any questions I haven't asked that are relevant
here are welcome too! Thanks in advance, Bruce
