I put the slinky in slot 4, and I see it comes up as /RAM4. I assume
the '4' is based on the slot number? I have some programs that assume
the ram drive is /RAM. The dinky ram drive on the 80 col card is
coming up as /RAM, and the programs attempt to use it (it of course is
much too small).

Is there a way (assuming I didn't want to yank out the 80 col/64K
card) that I could have the system name the slinky card /RAM? I tried
renaming it in system utilities as an experiment, but this didn't
appear to do the trick.

The alternative is hunting and pecking through code. I forget if there
was a better way to edit Apple Basic code, than with the built in
basic editor.
