sorry for this probably nit-picky question, but I just saw this commit:
https://git.tuxfamily.org/hatari/hatari.git/commit/?id=6c827e5cb90332914323d11e6cbf15f4dfccc00d
... and wondered what the machine names in the comments in
STMemory_RAM_Validate_Size_KB are supposed to mean. Maximum ST-RAM
supported by the respective machine *without* hardware modifications?
The comments that state it to be max, mean that
given amount is max for those machine types:
- 10MB: max for MegaSTE & TT (due to VME)
- 14MB: max for Falcon
AFAIK they don't support more ST-RAM even with
HW modifications...?
> Then why is the MegaSTE mentioned in the comments for 8 MB and 10 MB?
Why MegaSTE wouldn't support 8MB, when max is 10MB?
From the comments on this patch earlier on the
mailing list, I've understood only 6MB being
a memory amount that's not supported on (any of)
the Atari machines. I have no clue why though.
