[comp.sys.amiga] CSA MMR '030, AT-Once

I should be getting a CSA Mega-Midget Racer (33MHz) RSN. My question is
this: I fully expect the memory to be Addmemmed (or similar), so when I
reboot the system to play those trashy games which need this, the system
will forget the 32-bit RAM and place the game in 16-bit stuff.

Is there a way of addmemming the 32-bit stuff and then saying something like
"execute the floppy boot without forgetting your memory"?

One '020 card that I tried had some resident code which automatically addmemmed
its RAM banks on reboot, but this had the side effect of trashing the rigid
disk block on my A590 when it was connected.

Any ideas of how to get this to work. Of course, it would be ideal if CSA
had made the memory auto-configuring.

Do any of you guys out there have this board? Over here, it has recently been
re-priced at 375 pounds ~ $200 for 25MHz '030, 250 pounds for 2Mb of 32-bit
RAM, 150 pounds per additional 2Mb, add 75 pounds for 33MHz. They are selling
like hot cakes containing something very desirable indeed :-)

Also: The AT-Once. It's been available here for some time, but no reviews yet.
Does it claim to co-exist with AmigaDOS? I'm under the impression that it
doesn't.

Thanks for any help,

Phil Brown
