Hi folks:
How do I instruct PRODOS to set up a /ram disk in the aux memory of
a IIe with 128K? Or can I?
Thanks in advance

All you should have to do is use the thing and it will set up automatically.
Some programs, though, such as Copy II Plus, won't do this. To force a /RAM
setup:
1) Enter BASIC.SYSTEM.
2) Enter:
CREATE /RAM/JUNK
3) Quit BASIC.SYSTEM.
Once you're back in your program, you can delete /RAM/JUNK if you want. Of
course, this won't work with AppleWorks or any other program that uses the
full 128K you have.

ProDOS automatically sets up a /RAM disk i n the auxillary memeory on an Apple //e. Just go into basic, and type "cat /ram" and you'll see it. This pseudo-disk is 'slot 3, drive 1' -shabtai (e-mail addresses/long sig follow) UUCP: uunet!pyramid!cdp!sklein | BitNet: cdp!sklein%labrea@stanford Internet: cdp!sklein@arisia.xerox.com | Phone: (301) 270-2250 "You can't always get what you wan't" -- Rolling Stones "You can get it if you really want" -- Jimmy Cliff

In-Reply-To: message from dlyons@Apple.COM How does Prodos know which slot the extra 64k of memory is in?

In your article you said: > ProDOS automatically sets up a /RAM disk i n the auxillary memeory > on an Apple //e. Just go into basic, and type "cat /ram" and > you'll see it. This pseudo-disk is 'slot 3, drive 1' ^^^^^^\/^^^^^^^ slot 3, drive 2... Sorry, I know that's being nitpicky, but if you try slot 3 drive 1, the computer will give you an error something like "I/O ERROR" or "No Device Connected"... ------------------------------------------------------------------- BITNET: SAB121@PSUVM.BITNET Only 12 more Shopping Days till Christmas...

The pseudo-disk is hard-wired as Slot 3, Drive 2.

The Auxiliar slot's 80-column firmware and 64k extra memory are set to be slot 3. As someone stated, the /ram IS in slot 3 drive 2. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ cyliao@wam.umd.edu (Chun-Yao Liao) | I want Rocket Chip 10 MHz, Z-Ram Ultra II, UniDisk 3.5 | Now, I want my own NeXT, 64 Mb RAM, 660 Mb SCSI, NeXT laser |
