Version 2.3 can be found on Fred Fish 177. It will BARELY run on a 1 meg machine. Version 5.1 is on Fred Fish 278. The executable is about 470k. Unfortunatley a one meg machine without the super agnus never has the contiguous 470k that aspice requires. This brings up a question of my own. Does anyone know of a way to force the system structures to load into chip ram only? My idea would be to use one of those nofastmem type programs that survives a reboot, reset the system and then reenable fast ram. Will this work?

Will this work? PowerPacker can force Code, Data, and BSS into Chip or Fast RAM as far as I remember correctly. I got an ancient version of Hack to work that way when it required Data and/or BSS in Chip. Udo Schuermann
