Now that my net access has returned, I've been looking at some of the BADGE Killer Demos from the Fish collection. Unfortunately, not all of them seem to specify exactly what hardware one needs to run them (i.e. how much memory?). I've been trying to get the VAUX-KillerDemo running, but it always seems to run out of room. I guess 1 meg isn't enough? Anybody know? By the way, what's the latest revision of the Supra HD software? I also seem to have the system-hanging-upon-bad-block problem that someone else mentioned. It's perhaps the most annoying thing about my system, and it DOESN'T go away after a low-level format and mapping out of bad blocks. Go figure... -Carl Mueller (mueller@cs.unc.edu)

You need 3 megs. (Maybe 2.5; I saw it run on a 3 meg machine.)

Didja have to clean everything outta It's been a while and I know longer have the demo handy to check, but I probably did have to go through some minor contortions to get it going. Try starting to a CLI rather than workbench and whatnot to conserve memory. -baron >memory first? -- // uhccux amiga archive | amiga@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu | amiga@uhccux.bitnet \X/ "just another peon" | baron@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu | baron@uhccux.bitnet
