I am having trouble with the new 'mergemem' utility supplied with
AmigaDos V1.3.  I currently have two memory boards in my Amiga 2000;
one is a GVP Impact 2000 w/ 1 MEG of ram, the other is a Micron 2 MEG
ram expansion.  My hardware configuration is as follows:
	
	Amiga Zorro II slot #1 = GVP IMPACT 2000
	Amiga Zorro II slot #3 = Micron 2 MEG
	All other expansion slots are unused.

Autoconfig maps the memory spaces as follows:

	GVP IMPACT 2000 = $200000 - $2FFFFF
	Micron 2 MEG    = $400000 - $5FFFFF

When I invoke the mergemem utility, it responds by saying that no
merge is possible.  Is my problem due to the order that my boards
are placed into my Amiga 2000?  Also, I do not understand why there
is a gap in the memory map from $300000 - $3FFFFF.  Is this due to
the autoconfig process or due to the hardware on these boards?  I
would like to learn more about the hardware of the Amiga 2000.  Can
anyone recommend a good book for this?  Thank you very much in
advance to anyone that can offer some help, it is much appreciated!
