Most of you have probably seen the new RAMdisk available on
net.sources.mac called RAMstart. It doesn't look like anything radi-
cally new over Assimilation (auto load what's in folder, doesn't
Eject...) but it has a very nice surprise. Slim Mac owners now have a
RAMdisk!!!! I was shocked to pieces when I ran it and it worked! It
allows a RAMdisk from 6K up to 26K. Although this isn't large enough
to hold something really useful like a system or finder, it does have
uses. For example: put the MacTerminal document you use (don't save
anything much/important on it) in there and no more disk whirring!
Another patch I've seen hinted at but never explained here
on the net is how to put your own default settings into MacTerminal.
If you have a MacTerm document that has the settings the way you like
them, use ResEdit to go into it and Copy the INIT resource. Then open
MacTerminal and Paste it into there. When you boot MacTerm without a
document now it will come up as Untitled, however the settings will be
Happy maccing! Chris Borton

Now, does anyone have a ramdisk for those of us with fat macs? It has probably been posted, but I missed it. Ned Danieley duke!ndd
