Just remember that memory at C00000H is found because the OS is set up that way. You can have any type of read/writable memory decoded at any speed (virtual paper tape?) and the OS will use it. My Rejuvenator design moves all three custom chips onto their own bus, separate from the old motherboard chip ram bus. When two jumpers are set properly, the motherboard 512K is decoded at C00000H and it is found automagically. Pull the jumpers, due to a memory conflict (say with the aforementioned Insider), and you have to addmem it back in at whatever address the user set the jumpers to. I have run tests with Dpaint and a memory speed test (RAMSPEED from Fish 31) and have proven that a 16 color hires screen causes the ram benchmark to slow only a very small amount versus just using chip ram alone. The speed difference was on the order of 28.5 s seconds with the fast ram, 72 seconds with the 16 color hires screen (DPaint doing nothing). -Greg
