32 & 16-bit RAM
I presume that the card wouldn't put it's ram into the fast ram area as
this would be stupid as it limits ANY such card to 8MB. I have a Fusion
Forty which can use up to 32MB of 32bit ram. I also know that all the C=
turbo boards can be updated to use up to 128Megs of ram. My '040
configures its ram at an address outside that of the 16bit range of the
68000 so that it can only be accessed by the turbo board and cannot be
used when this is off (which is only once a month or so). It may be true
that the mashine slows down when it has to access 16bit memory… BUT it
only slows down to a speed which lies ABOVE that of any 68000 amiga as the
'040 and '030 are faster than the 68000 in the time they need to execute
commands.
