Make a great big GS-RAMdisk, boot up the PCT, go to the PCT control panel, select 'drives'... number 2. make drive C a PRODOS volume (the ramdisk.. slot 5 drive 2 (or drive one if you have no 3.5" drive connected to the smart port. Buy the program called 'Above disk'. It's about $60. It's made for ms-dos machines to turn hard drive space into virtual memory to increase the ram size. Tell 'Above disk' that you want to use all the space on your drive C. You now have XXXk + 640k RAM on your PCT. It makes it compatible to either LIM 3.2 or 4.0 EMS. It works better on a GS than a REAL IBM! be- cause it's really using RAM instead of slowing down for the HD. You can run windows 3.0 (though it takes 9 minutes to boot, I've heard) and even multitask!! Has anyone ever done this. I haven't done it, and I'd like to know what other people think about it. >dave >dhom@cosmos.acs.calpoly.edu ---------------------------------------- Michael J.
