Hi all, I have an old Kaypro PC 8088 with 768k RAM. I was using a vdisk to access the extra 128k of RAM. I now no longer have a use for the vdisk and would like to use the 128k as a cache, however I don't know of any programs written for the Kaypro for such a purpose. I was wondering if any exist and where they could be found. I have ftp access and uucp access. I have tried using regular cache programs, but they don't access the extra 128k as it isn't extended or expanded memory. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Please respond via email as I don't want to waste any bandwidth on this here. If anyone else has a similar problem and would like copies of the responses I get, you can email me. Thanks in advance. /* Robert Allen Gottlieb Internet: gottlieb@umbc5.umbc.edu */ /* Bitnet: gottlieb@umbc2.umbc.edu */ /* "It is better to be pissed off than pissed on." */ /* These opinions herein are not that of UMBC, but that of Jr, my cat, */ /* and me. */

Robert, the HIMEM.SYS program that comes with Windows from Microsoft will allow you to access the 64k above 640 that is otherwise inaccessible, for a total of 704k. I owned a KPC when they first came out and found it to be a very reliable machine. I don't know of any device drivers that will allow the use of that rather unconventional memory as expanded or extended ram. Hope this helps Scott -- "Join the Tn.
