Amiga 1200, Virtual Memory?
I have an Amiga 1200 & Apollo 1260 (32mb RAM)
As it is a desktop, I cannot fit another 32mb SIMM and I will not towerize it... As some demos and games (Quake II) require 64mb, I was wondering if virtual memory was a possibility? :confused |
not without using the MMU, which AmigaDOS doesn't.

Can some wizard alter the bios to accept 64mb Simms? That would be ideal! (Probably not as it would have been done already) :sad |

I'd have probably kept my Apollo 1260 if I'd know about that 64MB mod :agree |

Regarding the 32MB limit per SIMM, it seems to be a hardware limitation (e.g.: not enough address lines on PCB), which can’t be by-passed by means of a BIOS update. May be some other knowledgeable user can explain this better than me.

There was some time ago a bit of discussion about Apollo's memory:

@ShK: Thanks mate, that’s were I’ve read about such limitation.
A bit off-topic, but what about the BIOS? Has anybody ever tried to dissassembly it and document its contents? Could a stable 100MHz mode be achievable through proper optimization of its code? |
