Hi, kids!

As for the formatting of the Ramfactordiscussion a while back, you don't have
to in order to use it just as a RamDisk (you know, copying files, running
stuff, etc).

However, you can't boot off of it unless you DO format it. Copy//+ or
something works fine. After doing this, if you then copy ProDOS, some SYSTEM
file (likle ProSEL or ULTRA.SYSTEM, for example), and then do a PR#x or a
Warm-Restart and its in a high slot, it will boot like a floppy, except REALLY
REALLY FAST.

I like it so much, I never turn off my machine! (and my roommate got used to
the system saver going at night inonly about a month. cool, huh?)
