Geeminy, I think it'd be easier to run Filer or something that can list
volumes. If you have /RAM4 on a //c, it has a slinky type card. If you
have no RAM disk aside from the 64K /RAM, you don't have a slinky. If you
use software to set up a bigger RAM disk on an aux slot type card, you
should already know what kinda card's in there.
