AKA "Apple II memory expansion card", the memory card that goes in a peripheral
slot in a //e and IIgs. The same thing as an AE RAMfactor.

This is in ProDOS 8 only. You can move the device driver address in the 
table into the entry for another slot and drive, and change the unit number
in the device list to match. It might work but I never tried.
If you really want a RAM disk in another slot, the slinky card is the best
way. I saw it was still on the price list in the article posted a few back.
Not that I'd pay Apple's list on it, which is probably half the cost of an
entire Quadra 605 cpu these days. Just post in marketplace asking for one or
call Shreve/Alltech/Sun/Pre-owned and get one.
