- LeaveSlowFast ⌐ 1992 Chris Hames
- --------------------------------
-
- This is a hack to stop the $C00000- mem from being allocated unless
- someone wants a big slice of memory (PC-Task). It resets your machine then
- you should be able to do avail and still have all your SlowFast memory
- available. The reason you might like to do this is that you will get about
- 480K available for your PC in PC-Task. You must be running Kickstart 1.2
- or 1.2 or 2.04.
-
-
- It is for machines with 512K Chip/512K SlowFast:-
-
- Old A500's with A501's.
- Old A2000's.
- And various other machines with 512K chip / 512K (Slow)Fast.
-
-
- Just run the LeaveSlowFast program and it should reset your
- machine, then run the program that wants a big slice of memory (PC-Task)
- and it should be able to allocate memory from the 512K block still free.
- Now when you want your machine to go back to normal either run
- LeaveSlowFast again and it will reset back to normal or switch off/on.
-
-
- Notes:-
-
- I refer to the memory as SlowFast as the memory at $c00000 is as
- slow as chip memory unlike "True" fast memory.
-
- I don't have such a machine configuration so if the program doesn't
- work please provide details.

-
- History:-
-
- V1.0 First release.
