Result: Slower copies.

Remedy:

Create a 512K or 800K RAM Disk.

This allows you to copy from floppy disks to a RAM Disk
much more quickly. To set up a 512K or an 800K RAM
Disk, follow the instruction in your IIGS User’s Guide.

RAM and the GS Control Panel

You may notice that the actual size shown next to

RAM

Disk size

in the

Control Panel-RAM Disk

menu is

smaller than the

Minimum RAM Disk Size

. This is

because RamKeeper overrides the GS Control Panel’s
RAM Disk allocation. For example, if you set your
Minimum RAM Disk Size to 800K in the

RAM Disk

, but only leave 256K for use as a RAM Disk in the

AE RamKeeper’s - Initialize ROM Disk

change

ROM Disk Size

menus, the actual size of the RAM Disk

will be 256K.

This causes no particular problems -- as mentioned
earlier, you’ll want to use most of your memory as ROM
Disk space anyway -- we just wanted to point it out for
those who might wonder.
