I don't remember the name or manufacturer, but there was a company
that sold a RAM card for the IIGS that took batteries so it could


be


booted and used without disks.


What's your application? If you want to boot in a hurry (relatively
speaking) and go diskless, you might consider a CFFA card.




Are there any Apple II battery backed RAM systems
keep RAM on the motherboard powered?

Would be cool to have a system that you turned on,
and no loading occurred at all.  The processor just
executes current software in RAM.


I think that's called "leaving it on".  ;-)

Seriously, since the DRAM is refreshed by the video generator,
much of the machine would have to be in operation to keep the
DRAM contents.
