Re: Any non-memory cards for IIgs memory expansion slot?
RAM Disk can hold data, but it will be lost when the power is turned
off. ROM Disk is the exact same as RAM Disk, but it uses battery to keep
data active when the power is turned off.
I have AE RAM Keeper that it can hold up to 16MB. One is 8MB for RAM
Disk and another one is 8MB for ROM Disk. I can use Control Panel to set
ROM Disk as the default startup. It would boot ROM Disk much faster like
RAM Disk.
///SHH Systeme provides Turbo IDE controller card for hard drive that is
very useful because it is like RAM Disk. The amount time is the same.
