o Does anyone know how the 1764 can be expanded to 2megs or more?
o What is the directory limit on a 1764 using the latest version of RAMDOS?
(number of entires per REU)
Thanks in advance again, Glo

No, but I am seeking enlightenment in this area myself. I would hazard a guess that the 2meg limit is a limitation on how many RAM chips can be put on the 17xx PCB rather than a limitation of the technique... > o What is the directory limit on a 1764 using the latest version of RAMDOS? > (number of entires per REU) Last time I tried, it was well in the thousands (RAMDOS 3.2, which has been superseded). Try it: for a=1 to 999999:open 2,31,2,"0:file"+stR(a)+",s,w":close2:print a:next and notice that things slow down as there are more entries. I believe the ultimate limit would probably be 2^16 entries, although I could be wrong. I believe it is safe to say that this is not a point that needs to be considered for most applications :-) Seems to be more of a function of available RAM. ... Joe
