I'm using a stock Amiga 1000 with the 2 meg starboard expansion,
for a total of 2.5 megs. I've found that all that extra memory
is pretty much useless with digitized sound, since it has to
be in chip ram to be played.(right?) Anyway the largest sample I
can get is a measly 360k!! Is there any way to expand the chip ram?
I heard that one of the kickstart eliminators does this, is it true?
I doubt it is true, so I am wondering is there a way to pipe the
sound data from an external source such as expanded ram, or a hard
disk, and THROUGH the chip ram, thus allowing for huge length samples.
I am almost sure that can be acomplished, but before I go nuts trying
to write a utility like that, Id like to know if anyone has already
written something to do that.
 
 Anyone?
