There is also the AE RAMKeeper.  I've used one since I bought my IIgs.
The only problem I have with it is that I sometimes have to power it
down to sufficiently randomize the memory after the GS crashes.  This
is almost invariably associated with developing programs that are still
in the memory-trashing stage.

On a related note, does anyone know of a utility that renames the /RAM5
volume to something else on bootup?  It would be simple enough to write,
but I'm wondering if it's already been done.  I know there was one for
GNO (although I can't remember the name), but I was thinking about
something that could be run automatically from ProSEL; I don't boot
directly into GNO.

Also, if such a beast exists, where can it be found and under what name?
