Sorry for not being precise. I meant a hardware feature that would optionally limit the amount of available RAM, so normal QDOS ROMs could still run.Dave wrote:It requires Minerva to support the 4MB. There is a JS 4MB ROM, but we haven't tested it. If it works, that will be an option also.Peter wrote:Since the original speed 68008 allows a high degree of compatibility for games: Are you sure it is a good idea to abandon QDOS altogether? Wouldn't it be better to add sort of a "memory limiter" option?
Your new card is for people who want to stay with standard 68008 speed. A major reason for this is the possibility to run games (and then QDOS is the more compatible option).
For example: I keep one of my QL still with 68008 and QDOS. Your card would be the finer memory upgrade, but 4 MB is overkill for me on such a slow machine. RAM test would be a pain, and everything else which actually uses 4MB, also. An optional limit at $C0000 would solve this.
