Princeton University. Lines: 16 Does anyone out there know what is the correlation between max vm size (as returned by vmstatus) and the actual amount of real ram residing inside a Laserwriter+ ? (e.g. is it a 1:1 match or something else ?) Also, I wonder how many kinds of memories (including ROMs) are residing in the Laserwriters and how they're used -- I always assumed that there is the eeprom where all volatile params are kept and then there is the postscript interpreter rom and then there is ram where all user stuff are temporarily stored. Is that right ? Any pointers would be much appreciated. -- Eric Ho Princeton University eho@confidence.princeton.edu
