Hmmm..."Fully Populated" should be more than 128K.  You need to run
the program that comes with it, namely MRAM.SYSTEM, or its BIN-type
file equivilent, also included.  They can be adjusted to give you
different RAM Disk sizes.

With the included utilities, or with something like Copy ][+ or System
Utilities?

>Is there special software I need before the RAM will be recognized?

AppleWorks 3 & 4 (& assumably 5), along with Locksmith, PublishIt!,
and maybe Newsroom, use it directly.

>Could the ram be formatted as an additinal drive w/ that software?

Yep.

>Where could I get the software?

I'm a mean and nasty software pirate.  I can email it to you in a
month, when I get back home.  Just tell me if, and what form you want
it in.  I can do .SHK, .BXY, .BSQ, and .BSC.
