Following on from my earlier message (Thanks for answering Ralph) I have
one more question:

Does the A2630 card with 2 meg on board reserve 4 meg of memory space
upon bootup even though the last two meg is not yet in it.

With my GVP HC+8 with 4 meg filled and an A2630 in my 2000 the memory is
not contiguous between the A2360 (configured at $200000 to 3FFFFF) and
the GVP HC+8 configs at 600000 to 9FFFFF. 
I would like contiguous memory if possible and will probably fill the A2630
with another 2 meg.

The need the contig memory for ADPRO .

PS As the A2630 puts the ROM (or can) and the GVPputs the drivers in 32-bit
memory so using up some of the 32-bit does anyone know if ADPRO asks for
the largest block i.e the GVP RAM or does it just askfor free mem that is
contiguous from the freememlist which I suppose starts after $200xxx until
3fffff.


Any help appreciated
