I think it will be the same.  From memory, DFS puts PAGE up to
6400 and DFS + NET puts it up to 6912.  If you put ADFS in as well
then you are better off with a second processor!!

Each filing system claims its own workspace after a reset, so DFS
will claim some RAM as will NFS.  Presumably DNFS claims for
both (if they are present) although the "DFS" and "NFS" parts in
the DNFS ROM are separate.

Best wishes,



Ian

Subject: [BBC-Micro] Filing system memory usage

If I have a beeb with a DNFS ROM installed, will I reduce the amount of
free memory available when compared to a similar beeb but with separate
DFS + NFS ROMs installed ? The specific example I was thinking of was
loading a large program with the *NET filing system selected.

Cheers,
Chris.
