[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Allocating memory from the back of the freelist

karl@sugar.hackercorp.com (Karl Lehenbauer) (05/24/89)

I have this well-behaved audio hack that is going to load in a bunch of data 
and essentially leave it there for a long time.

I'm sure people who use it and have 68020/68030's with 32-bit RAM will not
want its data sitting there in their 32-bit RAM, so I want to keep it in their
16-bit FAST RAM.  (I understand samples can only play from CHIP RAM -- It's
cool)

As I understand it, RAD: allocates its memory from the back of the freelist,
so RAD drives consume 16-bit memory first.

Anyway, the question is: is there any cool and/or legal way to make my program
be able to allocate 16-bit FAST RAM instead of 32-bit RAM?
