Just messing with the IIe Platinum some more, and I've discovered what I was
told was 4Mb was in fact a 1Mb card 32 x 4256s, which are 256Kx1 of course.
However, it's not working in a logical fashion as a RAM disk. Specifically,
the Workstation card in Slot 6, RAM in slot 7, disks in Slot 5 results in
Apple II Desktop being copied to RAM disk at book and seemingly the server's
HD is mounted with a RAM icon with no HD icon.
Moving the card to slot 5 and shuffling the others up, results in the disk
being marked with a Profile icon and no RAM disk.
AppleWorks 1.1 can't see any extra RAM.
So... How can I test the card, before utilising it. The Transwarp is running
these cards 'slow', and was before, so I don't think it's a setting issue.
Is there a proper 'MouseDesk' disk set online anywhere, instead of using the
IIgs' system 1.1 (Apple II Desktop) - maybe there are P8 support apps I
could use included with that.
Also trying to find software that would use an AY-type soundcard so I can
test it, and I have the full-software version of S.A.M but can't get it to
the ][+ (13 sector ;) ) to see if it recognises the SAM card and speaker and
uses it, or if I need different software.
