| Hi All, Does anyone know if it’s possible to use an ssd card in CFO: slot
as fast ram? I have a stock A1200 and have no money for accelerator cards with extra ram. It’s amazing to me how little I can do with just stock ram.
Thanks, Any help will be much appreciated.

No, but you could get a PCMCIA RAM card. They'e 16-bit and slow, but it will add additional RAM. |

If it works as a storage medium, perhaps a Virtual Memory program can make use of it as memory?
I never tried any VirtualMemory programs, so I dont know if they will work for this purpose. But I did notice at least one version on aminet that did not require MMU to work. |

| Any card that you plug in can only be addressed though its device driver. It follows that all references to the card's contents, whether arranged as a memory address range or a file system, will always be much, much slower than "main" memory.
It may be best to use the card as an external disk, with a suitable file system.
