Kelly,
Expansion ram, yes. Buffers were in expansion ram.
*My* setup was somewhat unique in that because I had a Ronin 68020
board, I had to disable DMA with the FFS – which made my times much slower than
before I added the Ronin. But the overscan situation didn't seem to become a
problem (for me) until *after* I added the 1 Meg Agnes chip. Then I *DID*
notice the problem with Deluxe Paint III in hires/overscan. It took *minutes*
to get a disk directory! New, non-DMA controller solved both problems for *me*.
And like I've said, I've run into people with 2090's, or 2090A's, and
ST-506 type drives ("stock" 2000's). Some have a problem with hires/overscan
screens, others don't – with a similar configuration. Strange.
