Re: Moving binary files to /RAM

The root directory can handle I think 50 or 51 files. There is a slight delay in decoding the subdirectory though that should be a constant.

This is not true with ProDOS' /RAM. To make the best use of the memory, ProDOS only uses 1 block for file info. IIRC, the root of /RAM holds only 13(?) file name entries. Subdirectories are the key to take advantage of /RAM.
