Some
soft
ware
programs
do
not run properl
y
with
non-c
hip RAM
(extra
mem-
ory)
added
to the
computer.
The non-c
hip RAM
is
added when
yo
u install
the
ASO
I
Memory Ex
pansion
Cartridge
(it
may already
be
in stalled when you
purchase
your
Amiga
SOO;
see
Chapter
8 fo
r
more
detail
s
on
the
ASO
I).
If
you
run
a
program which
looks
incompl
ete
(li
ke sc
reen
images
are
mi
ss
ing)
or
appears
di
storted,
run
the
NoFastM em
utility
and
retry the
program.
No Fast-
Mem
(located in
the
System drawer On
your
Workbench di
sk)
fo rces
the
Ami
ga
to
all
ocate
all
programs to the
chip RAM
(the bas ic
built-in Ami
ga memory),
allow
ing
those
programs to
run
prope
rl
y.
Most
programs
wi
ll
work fi
ne
without
using
oFastM em.
Select
the
NoFastM em
icon,
and watch
the memory
meter. When
the
amount
of
available memory drops, the program has
been
exec uted. If
YOll
don'
t
have
non-
chip RAM
(i.e.,
you
don'
t
have the
ASOI
Memory
Expansion
cartridge),
thi
s
program will
have no
effect.
The
NoFastM em icon
works like a toggle; to
rein stall
the
non-chip RAM
(to
increase the memory),
se
lect
the
NoFastMem icon
aga
in
.
Another
way to
reinstall
the
external
memory is to
reset Workbench
.
There are many
similar useful
programs
on
the

was
included with your computer. Check
