This is wrong! It only depends on the FAST ram's ability to DMA. Nearly all ram expansions are able to DMA. Even most 32 bit ram expansions for turboboards can do fine! So no CHIP ram will be used for buffers when FAST ram is available! One board I know that doesn't has DMAble FAST ram and where CHIP ram for SCSI-DMA must be used is the Hurricane 020/030 board! The Amiga is a true game machine. But only a few games support multitasking, the superior feature of Amiga-OS! Please, dear game designer try to fit your game to Amiga-OS. -- Best reguards, Wilfried Wilfried Haering, Bierstadter Hoehe 66, D6200 Wiesbaden, West-Germany ...!{cbmvax|nccnet}!cbmehq!cbmger!whmod!wihae
