Has anyone tried a hacked up version of ramdisk for the skinny mac? A
lot of programs take less than 64k of ram. If you have, can you please
post to net.sources.mac?

So that leaves about 70-80K max for applications. Most of them need that much. I can't see much use in a 16K Ramdisk. Brian H. Powell brian@ut-sally.{ARPA,UUCP} U.S. Mail: Southwestern Bell P.O.
