Those are all very "cool" cards--you have no heat worries.

That would remain true even with a memory expansion card.

I put the slinky in slot 4, and I see it comes up as /RAM4. I assume
the '4' is based on the slot number? I have some programs that assume
the ram drive is /RAM. The dinky ram drive on the 80 col card is
coming up as /RAM, and the programs attempt to use it (it of course is
much too small).

Is there a way (assuming I didn't want to yank out the 80 col/64K
card) that I could have the system name the slinky card /RAM? I tried
renaming it in system utilities as an experiment, but this didn't
appear to do the trick.

The alternative is hunting and pecking through code. I forget if there
was a better way to edit Apple Basic code, than with the built in
basic editor.

Changing the Applseoft code is by far the best way to proceed.

Program Writer is now freeware, and is an excellent way to edit
Aplesoft programs.  It has search functions which should simplify
finding what needs to be changed.
