Put an Apple slinky memory card in your IIgs.  Its firmware
can create a 400KB RAM disk for DOS 3.3 (type IN#n).
Let us know how much faster it is when everything is
run from the RAM disk.

The firmware overwrites the INIT code, so be sure you
have formatted blanks disks ready to save your work
since you will not be able to create new ones.
