Interesting. I got it off a Fish disk, and although my A3000 has
static column chips, SetRamsey tells me that static column mode is off.
Does it still report the current settings correctly?

Anyway, I had tried telling it to turn that mode on, and tried to do
a list, and got an error about list not being executable! (First
feeling of impending doom.) So I did the 3-key salute, and got the "Insert
Workbench Disk" kickstart screen! (Impending doom feeling intensifies!)
With a gulp, I cycled the power, and everything was back to normal. (Phew!)

But the question remains, is my A3000 making use of the static column mode
of my RAM?
