I have now 20MB in my IIci, the finder can only see 8MB, BUT Technology Works ships a neat ramdisk with the chips. It is the best ramdisk I have found, it writes to the ramdisk *and* the harddisk at the same time and reads only from the ramdisk. This makes it very secure and fast. 12MB ramdisk is enough for me :-). To bad that the ramdisk don't work with less then 16MB of ram. It is called NanoDisk. - Martin Carlberg - Chalmers University of Technology, Goteborg, Sweden
