Keywords: RAM, A/UX Message-ID: <9219@polya.Stanford.EDU> Date: 16 May 89 14:22:17 GMT Sender: USENET News System Reply-To: shaff@Sesame.Stanford.EDU (Mike Shaff) Organization: Stanford University Lines: 22 ciao, I received a number of replies (THANKS!) from my earlier request for information on SCSI and RAM difficulties. The most distressing type of response the RAM question was of the flavor "A/UX ate the rest [of your physical memory]", so in the interest of knowledge does the below message really indicate that A/UX is using the rest of memory? Total memory size 8388608 Available memory 4505600 68020 caching enabled /etc/sysinitrc : system initialization Note that I am not running either X (I hope to when I get some of my other problems solved) nor *ANY* network code, THIS IS A STAND-ALONE A/UX (pronounced OX) box. Can A/UX really be using all of that memory? (peace chance) mas --
