It's not that hard if you have a RAM board you can access like static RAM (a SRAM board or a DRAM board with local refreshing circurit). Just connect that to the adress and data bus, and provide DTACK to the DTACK line, so the GLUE chip will not issue a BUSERR. The tricky bit is the software. GEMDOS can use 4 MB, not more. The cusrom chips are the same, they can't use the RAM behind 400000 Hex (right, Atari?). A patched OS/9 works just fine. hase -- Hartmut Semken, Lupsteiner Weg 67, 1000 Berlin 37 hase@netmbx.UUCP High on a rocky promontory sat an Electric Monk on a bored horse. (D. Adams)
