Re: Apple IIgs RAM disk

[buggie@musca.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

I already have a 4 meg card in the RAM slot of my IIgs, and one meg on 
the Rom 3 motherboard.


WHAT THE APPLE WORLD NEEDS NOW is a 4 meg slot 1-7 RAM card, sort of like 
RamFactor for the IIe.   Does such a card exist, and would its extra 
memory be recognized in addition to the 4 megs in the RAM card slot.

: If I understand the mysteries of DMA correctly, a ROM 01 can have an
: 8-meg card with 4-megs devoted to a RAM disk (leaving 4-meg of DMA-
: capable memory for programs to play with) and a ROM 3 can have a 7-meg
: card with 3-meg for a RAM disk (leaving 5-meg of DMA-capable memory
: for programs to play with). Is this correct, DMA gurus? Can a ROM 3
: machine have an 8-meg card and devote 4-meg to a RAM disk?
