Having a lot of Old 1.1 programs (mostly games) and not wanting to switch KS
everytime I wanted to go between a 1.1 and a 1.2 program I found the solution.
There is a program on the boards called NOFAST . It turns off FASTRAM .
There are a lot of programs that run as tasks and turn off fastram, but these
are not effective on software that need to be booted or that take over the
machine.  But NOFAST is different.  You invoke NOFAST and the machine ReSets.
Then you continue as normal, but the system won't autoconfig. the fastram.
Now.. This works fine on the 1000, but I don't know if it will work on the
2000 as I don't have one.  I don't know how to upload files on this UseNet or
I would as it isn't very long... If you can't locate NOFAST.arc leave me
E-Mail....
