It always occured to me that RAM Doubler was a cure for programs that didn’t use newer APIs but the “old” pre System7 way of allocating memory fixed through settings in the Finder.</p><p>But, this is obsevation is deduction and guessing. Would be great to read here from someone with actual knowledge of the memory manager of System 7.</p><p>Perhaps <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Cdespinosa" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Cdespinosa</span></a></span> can help or reach out?</p><p><a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/system7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>system7</span></a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/mac68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mac68k</span></a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/memorymanager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memorymanager</span></a></p>
