Subject: ADFS and rom memory claim

I can't speak from experience as I don't have ADFS, but here's some figures
from the new advanced users guide.

        private     absolute

DFS     9           2

ADFS    6           1

This means that for a machine with both systems, you loose 9+6+2=17 pages (page
at &1F00)

That ties in with what others have said. But what people aren't noticing is
that if you keep DFS in your machine, you're going to loose DFS's horrific 10
extra pages, whether you use DFS or not...

By JUST having ADFS instead, you will only loose 7 pages, leaving PAGE at
&1500. Isn't that a nice civilised location! Much better than &1F00 or even
&1900! The best thing to do in my opinion is to use DFS in sideways ram when
required, and have just ADFS in permanantly.
