Right now I've got a GS with Apple's 1 Meg memory upgrade card. The card works fine and I can setup and use the ramdisk. However, working with APW is still painful because you can't set the disk size over about 384K (just enough room for either the compiler and all those include files or the linker, but not both). Does anyone have any good info about bigger ram cards? I've seen ads for AE products, but has anyone used one?

AE ramcards: Sure, I've had one onboard my ][e for about a year (1meg) and the systems disk that comes with it has been a fine Applewks extension. Pinpoint, Macroworks and other utility overlays all function with no flaws. No comments on the GS applications but I would DEMAND the same for the GS. Disclaimer: Yup! eww@oberon.lcs.mit.edu.arpa

Just to add on: One of my 1 meg AE RamWorks has had a 2 Meg piggyback on it (also AE, of course) for about 5 months now. Works just fine, very big desk top. Apple Pascal likes it too. The ][gs shouldn't do any less, but the comments on this BB suggest that the ][gs is not quite a mature machine yet (or at least it wasn't last week). ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** | Bruce P.
