Are there any usable ramdisks for the Plus? What I'd like to do is run MPW 2.0.2 in a 1meg machine partition, and use the other 3meg as a ramdisk. Does anyone know of a program that will do the trick? -Paul -- Paul E.

Yes, I use RamDisk+ on both my Plus and my II (mostly the Plus since the II got its hard disk). Very configurable, never a glitch. The Plus has 4MB, and I use 1 MB to hold the System and my most-used programs. It just loads everything on the System Folder of my startup disk into the RamDisk, and spits out the floppy. Then I'm ready to go. If you want more than one floppy's worth of stuff in the RamDisk, you will have to put it there manually, but that's a pretty easy process. I have version 1.5 of this program. There may be later ones, but I have never felt a need. I got this program from a comp.binaries.mac archive many months ago, and I haven't thought about it much since I sent in the shareware fee ($20).
