The A2630 daughterboard memory will be outside of the 24 bit addressing range defined by the 68000 and the Zorro II bus. So you can have a fully loaded A2000 with all the expansion, 16 bit, 32 bit, whatever memory that'll fit in the normal way. The addition of this daughterboard will give you up to 64 Meg (depending on what any given designer can cram onto a daughterboard sized PCB). There wasn't any point in making the daughterboard sit in normal Amiga memory space. >Mike Gales -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "Don't worry, 'bout a thing.

Oh please say that this board is nearly ready to release!!!!!!! I am in desparate need of more memory for complex 3D animations! Funny, just a few months ago, 5Meg RAM seemed like a boat load. %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com % % ' Image ` ...!{decvax,uunet}!masscomp!mark % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
