Was this with WinUAE CPU core or old UAE CPU core?

If former, could you check also old UAE CPU core, just in case
(before updating Hatari sources)?

Ok, I changed phystop back to memtop + 32k in other modes
than TT + mono.  It seems that we just need to accept that
TOS v3 memory detection won't work with VDI mode.

-> Updated manual with this info.


VDI mode doesn't work with TOS v4, only with EmuTOS.

I decided that this could be used for testing applications
compatibility with phystop = "RAM end" setting.  I.e.
if you want to check how well apps cope with that in
larger VDI modes, use Falcon emulation & EmuTOS. :-)
