[comp.sys.mac.misc] TOPS & IIfx > 8MB

arichard@manta.NOSC.MIL (Adam W. Richardson) (12/14/90)

I am trying to get TOPS running on our IIfx's, but
they all have more than 8 Megs of RAM and Start
TOPS complains of an out of memory error.  I know
the extra RAM is the cause (since removing it
causes evrything to work fine.)  Anyone know
of a fix for this (anyone hacked out a little
INIT that causes TOPS to ignore the extra RAM
at startup, and then restore to normal after
TOPS is loaded.

I'd be VERY grateful for any and all replies.
Please e-mail--I don't normally visit this
group.

Thanks, Adam.

Have you tried contacting the publisher? They may have an upgrade for
TOPS. Also, keep your eyes on AppleShare. Version 3.0 will be released
shortly and should change a lot of things. For instance, no more
dedicated Servers! AppleShare servers will be workstations with server
software running in the background under MultiFinder. Of course
application priority can be set. AppleShare 3.0 is timed for release about 
the same as System 7.0.
