From: Thomas S. Wanuga <WANUGA@MIT-XX> Why is the VDSK.ASM disk emulator not very flexible (ie. what won't it do that better ones such as Tall Tree's will do)? Tom -------

From: Dick Gillmann <GILLMANN@USC-ISIB> The VDSK program generates a single fixed size electronic disk that eats up part of your 640K address space. If you do a ctl-alt-del, the disk contents are lost. The Tall Tree JFORMAT program can generate multiple electronic disks (C:, D:, whatever) of arbitrary sizes. It can use any kind of add-on memory, but if you use the Tall Tree memory board, JFORMAT can make electronic disks out of memory that doesn't count towards your 640K, so for example you can have 640K of program memory and a 1 megabyte electronic disk at the same. The size and number of electronic disks can be changed without rebooting and the contents of electronic disks are not lost over a ctl-alt-del. -------

If you hang 512k worth of Tall Tree board and have 640k or official memory,
will the power supply be upset? What about heat problems?
Just curious-- T.Kelley
