Does anyone know how much memory there is free (of the 8Mb) to develop custom coded extensions? I'm a little worried that maybe 8Mb was underspecified. You know, a la '640Kb will always be enough'!! :) Memory is cheap right now! Although FPM isn't so much as SDRAM :(

Thanks,

M

Problem is, we pay about as much for our 8M as 32Mb of SDRAM. This is for several reasons - tight supply of FPM/EDO (especially 3.3v stuff) and that when buying RAM, quantities for decent pricing are HIGH (10k pieces+). 8Mb is quite a bit - remember that glibc-2.1 is shared with the player, so your executables won't be too huge.
