Instant Pascal is the Apple // version of Macintosh Pascal. On a standard Apple //c with 5.25" disk, it is very slow and very disk intensive. It is also copy protected. However, the Zip Chip makes Instant Pascal almost usable! If I could run if from a RAM disk, it would be quite a good program. I can break the copy protection (using Copy ][ Plus) and so put Instant Pascal on my RAM disk. However I cannot get the program to start from the RAM disk. It insists on the Startup disk being in the built-in drive. Has anybody got Instant Pascal to run from a RAM disk? ========================================================================== Will Gilbert wjgilbert@water.UWaterloo.ca wjgilbert@water.bitnet

In a related question. I cracked my copy of Instant Pascal too but I would like to run it from my hard disk. It does indeed insist on booting from the 5 1/4" floppy. Has anyone hacked it to boot from another device? Seymour
