That does remind me of the 4th grade project of Mr. Valentin Pop. (Sorry can't remember your name :-) from C=. What was his experience? 98% of the Amiga programs didn't run, because they expect REAL memory. Facit: You gain NOTHING. Nice marketing idea, though :-) Stefan BTW: Peter, do you really expect a WORKING Virtual RAM system from a german firm like MacroSystems? They usually employ 64'er hardware freaks and SEKA programmers. -- Mail : Stefan Becker, Holsteinstrasse 9, D-5100 Aachen /// Only Phone : +49-241-505705 FIDO: 2:242/7.6 Germany /// Amiga makes Domain: stefanb@informatik.rwth-aachen.de \\\/// it possible..
