I have a A2000b w/ a A2630 card, 4 megs 32 bit RAM.  Works fine.  It is running
much slower than it should because the data cache and burst modes are disabled
by default, and I have the "slowmem" at C00000 also.

Does anyone know of a utility that will survive reboot and put the 200000 memory
first AND enable all cache/burst modes?  I want to play this sucker at FULL
SPEED!  :-)

No, it is more likely that they are simply checking for a mouse "button down"
click, but not waiting for the "up click" so all the clicks fall through as
the window is closed.  I've seen it all too often.
