- Hi guys. I have a question concerning some limitations of the OS
- concerning RAM expansion. As I understand it, the OS was designed with
- the 68000 in mind, and its address space as well, so the limited the size
- of addressable RAM to 9 MB, with the rest marked for various devices and
- such.
- Well, I have a 500 with an A530-Turbo, with the 68030 processor, which
- has quite a bit more address space than the 68000. So I was wondering if
- there was some way to add more fast RAM than those 8 MB. I realize that the
- A530 comes physically limited to the addition of 2 SIMM's, but this is more
- of a question in principle.
- So, how can one do it, or has 2.x solved this problem, etc?
- Thanks for the help,
- Lynn
