 |  Re: What would I do differently in the Plus/4
I dunno, but if the 3+1 was copied into RAM at once (I think the startup is just too fast for that) to speed up operation, then it is logical, while we see all those RAM limitations on editable area. Sure, that programs were ran slower from ROM, then RAM, but in case on +4 the difference could be JUST noticeable.
On C64 the Pagefox cartridge module SW ran from ROM and ADDED extra 32KB RAM (?) to store and edit the 640x800 sized A4 bitmap page and keep the Undo data. It was a fantastic Scanntronic module (I own one). Eddifox GFX module was even able to do 3D transformation on the pictures. (nowadays most of the documents available only in German language)
