By curiosity, could you please enter in a shell the following line and post the output?

Code: Select all

SYS:Kickstart/ram-handler.kmod show

Regards,
Petrol.

I wasn't sure of the ram setting, especially EM feature, on Classic.

Be really careful, you shouldn't modify any of the ram setting.
But if you want to test and modify the Block size value, just type :

Code: Select all

Sys:kickstart/ram-handler.kmod BS=Value between the min and max

Look at Sys:Documentations/ram.doc for more infos

Regards,
Petrol.

I don't have a classic to test swap, sorry.
Could you please run memstat in a shell in both cases ?
If swap partition is enabled/available, it should appear in the available pagers.

Regards,
Petrol.
