How much fast ram should there be showing in an A3000 (with no memory added). Mine says that the maximum fast ram available is 0.5 Meg. If this a problem wih my computer, or is the other 0.5 Meg being used for ROM storage (kickstart 2.0)? All help would be greatly appreciated!!

Until they get a solid working 2.0, as you are well aware, the operating system is on your hard drive. When you boot 2.0 is loaded into fast ram and takes (you guessed it) 0.5 Meg. As soon as 2.0 is complete, you will take you machine back to the dealer who will install the operating system as a ROM chip. Then you will have your other 0.5 Meg fast ram back for use. > >All help would be greatly appreciated!! > Your welcome. ============================================================================== \ / \ \ / / Sean Schur \ \ / / \ \/ / USENET: schur@isi.edu \ /a\mpyr/ Compuserve: 70731,1102 \/ \ / ideo Plink: OSS259 \/ ==============================================================================
