My system is a 1.3 rom amiga 500 with 1 meg. When I had only the reg. agnus
(0.5 meg) I was able to rip off tons of soundtrack modules after a reset. 
90% of the time the memory was not cleared leaving prg data such as GFX and 
music to the harvesting . Now I have expanded to the fat agnus. I can run 
the DEMOS in PAL mode , but now ripping the modules is nearly impossible
after a reset. now 99% of the time the memory is cleared totally. 
I have tried to re-rip a demo I ripped in the past, well, I failed on my face.
Why is it that with the fat agnus, memory is cleared all the time at boot time?
that's a drag.
(what do I use to rip modules ? the best weapon on the market : MON)
