Re: RAM card slots?

["John Van Winkle" <appleiieman@charter.net>]

If it is a RAMworks card, I would put it in slot 5 and the workstation card
in slot 7 and disk in slot 6.  To use the RAM with RAMworks cards, you need
to load the drivers for Appleworks so when Appleworks loads, the drivers
will be loaded with it.  To use the RAM disk with PRODOS, I have to make a
boot disk with the PRODOS drivers for the RAMworks card on it so it sees
sevaral "disks" with PRODOS.  Hope this helps.
