PMJI This isn't true with DKB 2632 eg. if you use a 8MB SIMM mixed with a
16MB one, the biggest AVAILable chunk will be just 8MB (due board design
perhaps?). So I was forced to change my 8MB SIMM with a second 16MB SIMM
and afterwards together with the original DKB 4MB SIMM contiguous memory
reached 36MB. A2630 original 2MB 32bit RAM (not burstable) still remains
outside of this memory block.
Emplant recognizes this 36MB contiguous memory correctly BUT I'm not able
to use OpalVisionQDPAL videodriver, which needs only 2.25MB(!).
OpalVisionQDNTSC driver, which needs 1.75MB (smaller than A2630 2MB
DMA&autoconfig 32bitRAM), works well. Strange! BTW I have 2MBChipRAM &
2MB16bitFastRAM too! You see, plenty of memory.
This is one of several unsolved mysteries (at last to me) when using
Emplant software – crash as crash can.
