I'm going to be adding a Commodore A-2630 accelerator to my Amiga 2000. Currently the machine has a Supra RAM board with 6MB of 16-bit RAM. The A-2630 has 4MB of 32-bit RAM. I have been told that there may be trouble getting the A-2630 to recognize the 16-bit RAM…i.e. I may wind up with only 4MB extra instead of 6MB. A techie friend says he thinks there is a way to (a) make the machine recognize the 6MB of 16-bit RAM, and (b) force it to use the 4MB of 32-bit RAM first. Is this true? If so, how? I am perfectly capable of messing with my startup-sequence and usually use the CLI (shell, actually), but I'm not what you'd call a tech wizard, so…short words, please? Thanks! -Don Sakers

Don, as I recall, there was a way using a program called AddMem (??) to do such a thing. I also seem to recall that you had to know such things as address locations or somesuch, but it has been a LONG while. Perhaps someone else will key in. Brian
