[net.micro.mac] Info on twiddling cache in PRAM?

cccdave@ucdavis.UUCP (Dave Dell'Aquila) (07/09/86)

I am curious if there is any information available on what locations in
parameter RAM the cache for the Mac+ uses, and what values are stored there.

The reason for interest (besides curiosity!) is that it would be useful running
a MacLab here at UC Davis; currently Mac+'s are booted from check-out floppies 
to create Ramdisks via RamStart.  It would avoid a lot of hassles if we could 
add an INIT to the systems used on these floppies that did a MOVE.L #??,CacheRAM
and set the size automatically.  To my knowledge, t'would be easy *with* the
information necessary.  I'm still waiting for Apple to publish info on the
cache as they promised...

Many thanks in advance...

Cute tip of the day: RamStart HFS will do its "eject the floppy since I copied
	the System and Finder onto it" only if it is in the root directory.
