[comp.sys.apple] Applied Engineering & Print Buffering

jm7e+@andrew.cmu.edu.UUCP (12/07/87)

regarding Ram cards....

Applied's Ramworks for the //e and Z-Ram for the //c both offer print buffers
for Appleworks.
Does anyone know how this is done?

But more importantly as I am looking into a GS, does this feature also come
with GS Ram or 
with Ram Factor? 

I find print buffering, esp. with a time-shared Laserwriter, to be absolutely
essential.

The RamWorks III manual states that a print buffer will be available on a 
][e or ][gs. However, on a ][gs, the *size* of the print buffer can be selected 
up to 64K. Apparently, the ][gs control panel must be used to activate the 
print buffer (I have ][c and ][e but no ][gs). It is also stated that a 
print buffer will not be available with RamFactor (all this is actually from 
the AppleWorks 2 Expander v1.0 supplement to the RamWorks User's Manual).
More recent versions of RamFactor may not have this constraint.
