It's the supplied GS/OS device driver for slinky RAM cards, to access 'em as
RAM disks. I would figure it takes a real slinky type card, so a PCT wouldn't
qualify. If you mean setting up drivers in a patched copy of the ProDOS 8
SYS file like I think you mean, that would have no effect in GS/OS.
I have an Apple slinky with 1 mb in my IIgs, and I of course use the A2.RAMCARD
driver. It supports formatting the RAM disk as 1 mb or 800K. That's handy if
you wanna uncompress an archived 3.5 disk.
