I heard that it may not work if you have the ram expansion on an inbternal expansion slot (which I do). However, I have used ZKick on another Amiga where KickIt wouldn't do it. Even though I can get 1.8 megs FAST to autoconfigure on bootup, it refuses to acknowledge that I have any fast ram. > > hope this helps, > bob > > > rrizzo@csserv1.ic.sunysb.edu > -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN Tomas Arce Any students from SUNY Oswego?
