Now hands back memory for APD's

Post by JonAbbott »

2.13i ADFFS module is on the dev site, which now hands back unused memory for APD's. When mounting an APD, as the size is unknown it pre-allocates 900k + table space which with DA's is now 932k I believe (due to page size). It now hands back what it doesn't use once it's completely decoded the disc image.

This is only really going to affect low memory RO3.1 machines.

I'm having problems now. I've just upgraded the modules and I can no longer "Boot Floppy". It just sits there at the supervisor prompt.

Going back to 2.13h doesn't fix things entirely. Even with 2.4Mb free with Uniboot, I cannot get disk two of Chuck Rock to load although "Boot Floppy" does work again.

That's better. It all seems to be working again :D I'll do some more testing after I've had a bite to eat.
