What happens to the 5 MBytes of 16-bit memory in my A2000 when I add a 68030 accelerator with 8 MBytes of 32-bit memory? Does that give me 13 MBytes? -- 73, Paul _____________________________________________________________________ From the shack of Paul MacDonald!

No, you get 1M on the motherboard, 8M on the accelerator card, and then AutoConfig stops configuring any cards past the 8 meg limit. -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 580 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 blgardne@javelin.sim.es.com BIX: blaine_g DoD #46 My other motorcycle is a Quadracer.

The A2630 itself only supports 4MB of memory onboard. It can, in theory, support a daughterboard with up to 64MB on it, though no such daughterboard yet exists. Most of the other 68030 boards didn't have any memory on the main board, so they all got daughterboards, often with more than 4MB on them. At the time the A2630 was designed, memory was expensive enough to limit the on-board amount to 4MB. Also, that's all that would fit without some drastic package size reductions. -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight" -R.E.M.
