RE: Booting from a ProFile

[nkp@ausom.oz.au (Nicholas Pyers)]

Thank you every one who replied to my query regarding booting from a
ProFile.  I have successfully booted on my ROM 01 GS with the controller in
Slot 2.  When I get the //e, I will try it on that and see how it goes.

It now seems that I may of had the controller in slot 4 on my old //e with
slots 5, 6, and 7 all having bootable devices in them so that is why it
wouldn't have worked.  I will let you all now when and if it works installed
in slot 7.

Again thanks to all who answered.

Now for a semi-related topic:  Is there a GS/OS driver avalible for the
ProFile?  Even though I don't plan on keeping it on the GS it would be nice
to speed it up for when it is connected.

I am also after a /RAM5 driver, so I can sort the */system/drivers directory
and have the "fastest" device, /RAM5, polled before those slow, very slow
5.25" drives I have. I may also then go out and buy a SuperDrive, if the RAM
disk is still accessable from ProDOS 8.  Is it true that this driver will be
included in System 6.0.1?
