-The fix is basically an addition to your Startup sequence.  Look for the
-line: SetPatch >NIL: .  Change this to: SetPatch >NIL: r  , adding the
-'r', lowercase, no slash. [If you want to see what it's doing, leave out
-the '>NIL:' redirection, but that just clutters the screen.  The 'r' option
-allows the use of RAD: or other recoverable ramdisks on 1-meg CHIP RAM
-machines.  The reason it worked with your A1000, is that the 1000 was probably
-(unless hacked up :-) ) using a 512K older Agnus.

A somewhat related question: After installing a 1Meg Agnus, should the
program FastMemFirst still be in the Startup-Sequence? (I recall it's
used to move C0.... memory to the end of the list of FASTmem, which is
now not quite actual)

I have a 2000 with an A2620 (with 2Meg) + the old Commodore 2meg memory
board. How will I make sure that the programs first use 32bit memory, then
normal FAST and last CHIP ram?

ANYONE HAD A SUPRA WORDSYNC CONTROLLER WORK WITH AN A2620???
