- This program was written due to the lack of such a program
- on the Amiga. It was written using HiSoft Devpac Assembler.
- I have placed this program on the public domain so that it
- can be used by everyone. I hereby give permission for
- commercial publishers to distribute this program in any way
- they see fit (but remember who wrote it, credits please).
-
- CONDITIONS None. Except this doc file and the icons must
- ---------- accompany the program.
-
- The program hunks have been written to use Public memory so
- it will load into fast ram if its available. The program
- requires about 100k of chip memory and 36k of fast memory in
- order to run.
-
- SPEED COMPARISONS
- -----------------
- The A1000 CHIP ONLY comparison is against a PAL A1000 totally
- unexpanded. This program has a 3 bitplane screen open, this
- shows how much the processor slows when running a program in
- chip memory while having to contend with Agnus working overtime.
-
- The A1000 EXTRA RAM comparison is against a PAL A1000 with
- SLOW RAM addressed at $f80000. The processor returns to
- normal speed even though the 3 bit plan screen is open.
- This can show the difference in speed between slow ram and
- zero wait state memory boards. Our experience shows that
- it only makes a difference of around 0.01 or one hundredth.
-
- The A2620 comparison is against a standard B2000 with a A2620
- card.
-
- The GVP A3001 comparison is against a B2000 with a GVP A3001
- acellerator card, with all caches and bursts on. The board
- also contained 4 megs of 32 bit wide ram.
-
- FREE MEMORY
- -----------
- This shows the amount of free memory as if the program is not
- running so it is not accurate to the byte, but is a very good
- indication of the free pool.
-
- Please let me know if you have any problems or bugs with this
- program.
-
- NOTE:
- If you have mounted a special device (ie. FFS floppy) it will
- be seen and counted as a hard disk.
-
- A Super Agnus jumpered as a Fat Agnus will be seen as a Fat
- Agnus (8371).
-
- 2000/500 CLOCK only looks for the standard 2000 or 500 Hardare
- clock. It does not look for the mutitlude of different clocks
- that were available for the 1000.
-
- THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO ADD
- --------------------------
-
- 1. Ability to check Amiga model ** is it possible ?????
-
- 2. Your ideas
-
- Any suggestions preferably in assembler but I can translate
- C if I have to, but it is such a pathetic language (sorry C
- programmers but Assembler is so much nicer).
-
-
- Happy Computing

- PS. Write for latest NoVirus V3.10 (now checks for viruses while iconified)
- only A$39.95.
- For latest free brain file update send S.A.S.E. with disk
- to above address. Older commercial NoVirus owners also get free code
- update, so send for it now!!!
