When you say two drives, I assume you mean 2 3.5" drives. Well, I have been running it off a hard drive, and 4MB of RAM... I used to run it with only 1.25MB of RAM, and (when using the desktop environment) that was not enough for any decently long program. However, if you remove most of your CDA's and NDA's (or all), and reduce your RAMdisk to a minimum (or 0K), and use the text environment (which you seem to want to use anyway), it should pose no serious problems. I would, however, recommend getting more memory anyway. The text environment is quite bug free, and the graphics env. is somewhat bug- free. I would use the text environment. However, debugging is infinitely easier in the graphics env. due to the ability to open multiple windows, so you can view your program, its output, the variable values, etc., at the same time. > Please send replies by mail, so as not to clutter up the net with old > info. If anyone else is interested in the info, I could post a summary. _________________________________________________________________________ | Apple //(GS) Forever!! | | r.levy@marvin.cooper.edu | | The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, NYC | | | | GGGG SSSSS RRRRR U U L EEEEE SSSSS | | GG G SS RR R U U L E SS | | GG SSS RRRR U U L EEE SSS | | GG GGG SSS R R U U L E SSS | | GGGGG SSSSSS R R UUUU LLLLL EEEEE SSSSSS | |________________________________________________________________________|
