My Amiga 500 had to go back a number of times for power supply
failures.
It now had to go back for disk failures and I got it in return
recently.
It now seems to work OK but I have the impression that there is
something wrong with the memmory size.
I think I remember that I was doing disk copies (with copiers like
Marauder, Quicknible etc..) in about two swaps (source and target
disk).
I now have to do seven swaps, one every nine tracks.
I am dreaming about the past, or does my machine not recognize its
512 K memory?
Is there a command that allows me to check the accessible memory size?

The workbench screen shows the amount of available memory on the top
banner.

If you've upgraded to the v1.3 system software, there is a command
called 'AVAIL' in the c: directory that returns the amount of chip and
fast ram available, and also reports the largest contiguous block.
By the way, a non-interlaced WB screen and two floppies will
automatically eat about 90+ Kbytes of chip ram.
