I'm a little bit out of my league here, but I'll take a stab at it.

The RamFactor is a slot based memory card and as such, it's already formatted
for ProDos as soon as you turn on the power.  No need to run a ramdisk or
formatting utility.  Whatever slot it's in is automatically the name of the
volume. So if it's in slot 4, it's /RAM4.

Glen Bredon includes the necessary software in PROSEL 8 or 16 to put all the
goodies you'd like on your RamFactor's volume, back them up to a disk and then
make that disk autobooting to restore the volume to the RamFactor and launch
whatever program you'd like.

Short of that, and since the RamFactor is already a disk when the power is on,
you could get one of the public domain routines to add the "COPY" command to
Prodos and then use your EXEC file to COPY the necessary files to /RAMx and
then execute your program.
