Talk:Shadow RAM (Acorn)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm pretty sure that what I've written is correct, given my experience with Acorn's memory model. However, I can't cite a reference as my books here (primarily, the Advanced User Guide) predate Shadow RAM. A good reference is probably the Master Series User Guide, but I no longer have, or have access to, a BBC Master. Ghiraddje 17:12, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Master Shadow RAM

I asked BeebMaster about the article:

I think the general thrust of it is correct but, like you, I'm not sure about the final paragraph.

I think there may be some confusion between the Master shadow RAM and the private RAM. There's 32K of additional RAM in the Master 128 but only 20K of this is shadow RAM since 20K is the maximum screen size and the other 12K is "private RAM" which can be claimed by paged ROMs for buffering, mainly by filing system ROMs for file transfer operations.

Is this what you mean, Shakespeare? Do you agree? I'm not as familiar with the Master so I will defer this one for the moment (otherwise I'd have to look up a Master manual on the Web).

Please also note that the plural of "ROM" is "ROMs" (lowercase 's')! And you would be really advised to spell/grammar-check your typing!
