[comp.sys.amiga.misc] Need a program to disable 512K chip ram...

amhartma@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (Andy Hartman - AmigaMan) (02/13/91)

I need a program that will allow me to disable 512K of my 1Meg of chip ram.
I've got a 2000 with 3megs (2 fast) and the new agnus.  I've traced my probs
to the fact that I've got 1meg chip ram and my roommate has 512K chip.  I 
know this is the prob. because a program will run on his computer but not
on mine.  This is the only thing I can think of.

Does there exist such a beast or do I have to keep my roommate up all night
just so I can play Wayne Gretzky's Hockey...

Thanks,
AMH

There are various programs around (PD) that allow you to disable the top 512K
chip memory. Including Pal boot which allows you 7 options
Pal mode, 512K chip , no fast mem
Pal mode , 1meg chip, no fast meme
Nstc mode, 512K chip, no fast mem
Ntsc mode, 1 meg chip, no fast
NTSC mode, 1 meg chip, fast mem
pal/ntsc with auto config devices
and I added for my 030
bootcache (turns off the data and burst cache of the gvp 030)
