Date: 21 Sep 1992 16:02:06 GMT Organization: Uppsala University Lines: 17 Sender: goran@solaris.astro.uu.se (Goran Hammarback) Distribution: world Message-ID: <19krluINNd2l@corax.udac.uu.se> NNTP-Posting-Host: solaris.astro.uu.se I know there was a discussion on SYS V UNIX for the PC, where the conclusion was that most of these systems only handled up to 16 MB of ram, the reason being that the ISA bus can only access the first 16 MB of memory. Does anyone know if 386BSD handles more than 16 MB ? (The obvious solution would be to use a buffer in the lower 16 MB for transfers to/from higher memory). -- Goran ------------------------------+--------------------------------- Goran Hammarback | goran@astro.uu.se Astronomiska Observatoriet | Uppsala Universitet | S-751 20 SWEDEN | ------------------------------+---------------------------------
