Recently I believe I read on the net that:  

   When using the Super Agnes chip, therefore elimating the C00000 RAM,
it is no longer necessary to run fastmemfirst in the startup-sequence, in
order to conserve Chip RAM.  Was I dreaming this?   Was it the Super Agnes
alone that changed this? or was it the use of SetCPU 1.5 too?  Seems to me
irregardless of Super/old Agnes, a program requesting "either type of RAM"
could be given chip, when fast is available.  Don't I still want to run
fastmemfirst?  And does Mergemem really merge 16bit and 32bit memory pools
into contiguous space? 

System = A2000 Rev. 4.x
         A2620 
         ProRAM w/2Meg
         SuperAgnus 1Meg Chip
         1.3 Rom

   Also (since I mentioned SetCPU) does Dave Haynie's .profile on cbmvax
do a 'mail > /dev/null'   B^)
