REQ: DKB 1202 driver disk (MagicMem program)

keropi · 08 January 2008, 12:31

Hello!
I am looking for the driver disk of the DKB 1202 ram expansion for the A1200
DKB 1202 BBOAH link
anyone has it? I am interested in it's MagicMem util, that
"The "MagicMem" program operates automatically, and does not require any input from the user. If there is a 1-meg SIMM installed in te DKB 1202 card (and the jumper settings correctly reflect this configuration), the program will add this memory to the computer. If there are two 4-meg SIMMs installed (and the jumpers are set for 4 megabytes), the program will check the existence of a PCMCIA card. If none are present, the entire 4megabytes of memory will be added in its normal address space. If such a card is present, however, 1.5 megabytes out of the second 4 megabytes will be added at the $C00000 address space for a total of 5.5 megabytes, the maximum amount of expansion RAM that can be added when a PCMCIA card is in use."
thanks for any help!

I want it too!

Is the program proprietary to the DKB1202? Partially depending on the card firmware (it have firmware?)?

I am pretty sure you can do similar stuff with addmem command if you just want 5.5Mbytes all the time?

How exactly do you use the MagicMem application?

I have a DKB 1202 with 8 megs on the way and have been looking into this.

Do you just add the MagicMem program to User Startup?

I think you can get away with adding it just about anywhere in the startup sequence.

Does MagicMem only work with 2x 4MB SIMMs or is it supposed to work with 1x 8MB SIMM too? I have a DKB 1202 but I only have 1x 8MB SIMM and 1x 4MB SIMM, and when using the 8MB one, MagicMem doesn't reduce the RAM at all, and the PCMCIA slot continues to not work.
