QPC has enforced limits to the size of the slave blocks for 15 years or so in SMSQ/E (only the first megabyte of ram is used for slaving). And I don't actually remember it, but if the version history doesn't lie I implemented the same change for Qx0 back then, too. > Ideally, a new compromise between buffer management overhead and the > benefit of abstracting very short scattered accesses from the > hardware block access level would be nice. Yeah, but I don't really expect any more advances in that area. Cheers, Marcel _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
