I don't know if this will work (that's why I'm posting it here...):
 
To "fix" the problem of 1MB Chip ram, 0 Fast Ram with the new Agnus
chip, wouldn't it be possible to create a new memory node type of
fake fast ram in the chip ram?  ie:  lay away 200k as fast ram by
modifying the free memory list so that it shows up as a different type
of ram.
 
The only problem with this is that it couldn't be a "FastMEmFirst" type
fix.  If it was run in the startup sequence, then the 200k would surely
be used up by the time you want to run a program that needs fast ram. 
It would have to be run just before you execute the program that needs
fast ram.  It would also be a good idea if 200k was configurable...
 
Any gurus see any problems with this?
