The beefed-up version gets to a whopping 4 MiB!
OTOH, having to abuse the MIDI port for network connectivity makes downloads rather slow. And how many floppy disks would Electron require?
- zandorg 5y agoI had Ultima 6 for the Atari ST. Running off floppies was kind of slow. My friend's Atari ST machine had 4MB of memory. So I set up a 3MB RAM disk. And installed the game to 'hard disk' with the RAM disk as the hard disk. Then all I had to do was format some floppies to really high density. The entire U6 installation fitted on (I think) 2 floppies. I also used a rapid file copy program. I copied the files to RAM disk, played the game, saved the game, quit the game, and saved the files back to floppies. Just thought it would interest someone.
