Memory HELP!
Dean, I will remove chip U54, and have it shot, court martialed, and sent to
the Russian Front! Really though, I appreciate your help. I hope that my
somewhat vague description of the problem didn't cause you too much bother.
With the 2052 installed there is a total of almost 3 meg when I type
"avail", so evidently the system is recognizing all of the ram. The only other
device installed is a C-Ltd interface to my HD, and the FIRST thing I tried was
disconnecting the interface, same problem. When I was doing the memory tests
and when using the memory editor, they both were run from a cold boot from
empty (except for the programs themselves) floppies. That way I could be
(relativly) sure that the address wouldn't be in use. The thing that was
confusing me was that evidently the allocation routine puts the external ram
(or some portion of it) BEFORE the internal ram (512k), and something I was
running at boot-up was using that address and screwing up other tasks. So at
first I didn't believe that the new ram was being used at all, but I guess that
was the problem from the beginning.
Again, THANKS -Jay
