Hey folks,
A few questions regarding my IIsi:
1) Which OS would be the most optimal for this machine? 6? 7.0? 7.0.1? 7.1?
7.5? etc.
My preference for all 68030 machines is 7.1, with additions from 7.5 and 8 (appearance manager, etc).
4) I loaded the IIsi to the max with RAM (64megs). I then installed
RamDoubler (an old copy) and doubled the RAM to 128MB. It booted up just
fine, BUT after using any program for about 10+minutes, the whole thing
freezes. Any suggestions on how to double the RAM and avoid the system
freeze? Anyone know of the highest version of RAMdoubler that will work on
OS 7.1?
You don't say how big the hard drive is. Keep in mind that Ram Doubler and other virtual memory schemes use the disk drive and then swap stuff that's being used from the disk drive to the actual physical RAM and back. So you have to have more free space on the hard drive than the amount of virtual memory that you are trying to create. Also remember that using this virtual memory is slow because it requires hard disk accesses to swap the info in and out of the physical RAM.
