OK, putting large amounts of RAM in a IIgs makes perfect sense, as GS/OS will use it. What use is a large RAM card (beyond the standard 64K/80 Column card) in a IIe? Using it as a printer buffer is the obvious answer, but one that I wouldn't find personally useful.

Well, Appleworks makes use of it, and a few other programs that I would be hard-pressed to name off-hand. Makes a nice Ramdisk to hold files for quick loading, or so you can single-pass copy a disk with one drive. The bigger the Ram, the bigger disks can be copied. Well, that's all I've got. Anyone else? 8^) Bill
