- 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 1.3 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.
