The V1.1 software release will include a mechanism by which a program file can instruct the system to load specified portions of the program into chip memory or fast memory. V1.0 programs will continue to work. Programs designed to use expansion bus memory under V1.0 should be careful to dynamically allocate chip memory for data structures that are directly referenced by the custom chips -- for instance the image data for gadgets. Programs running in 256K or 512K machines are entirely contained within chip memory already, but never-the-less, should explicitly request "Chip" memory during these allocations to insure proper operation when owners connect extension memory on the bus.
