ASDG: Does VD0: work on an Amiga 3000 with 4 megs of 32-bit fast ram, and 2 meg chip ram? It used to work with 2 megs 16-bit fast ram, but I upgraded to 4 megs 32 bit and i believe VD0: doesn't work anymore. (I also upgraded KS, so that may have been the cause as well. I'm not sure) WC..73100,1741

The ASDG RRD is incompatible with changes made in the way memory is organized in KS 2.0. It shouldn't be able to work under 2.0 at all. pk

ASDG, Hate to burst your bubble but I have been running my asdh rrd (vd0:) recoverable ram disk under 2.0 on my A3000 with fine results. Just placed the handler (asdg.vdisk.device) in the devs drawer, made a mountlist entry and added a mount command to the startup-sequence. I had it installed in the 1.3 side too but took it out because it kept the stuff in it from the 2.0 side on warm boots, just inconvenient for my application. These 3000' all act differently, I sometimes think that there are no two alike. By the way, I am now running the uprade 2.02, if that is of any interest. Oh yeah, I have 4 meg of fast 32 bit and 2 meg of chip memory too. *— Dan Harris —*

That is, indeed, a surprise. pk

ASDG, Sorry to burst your bubble but I have no problem at all running ASDG RRD on my a-3000 under either 1.3 or 2.0 dos. I also have a 4 meg 32 bit fast and 2 meg chip memory machine. *—Dan Harris —*

Hmm, welp, it DID work when i had the first version of KS (don't remember the exact version tho), and the 16 bit memory, though it _did_ slow the machine down a bit (according to SI2.0) Any plans to update it for the 3K with WB2.0?? WC..73100,1741

No plans, only pipe-dreams. Updating the RRD is something I would have to do in my spare time. If, I ever HAD any spare time. pk
