Some people insist on ShrinkIt(ing) |a 3.5 disk as a DISK and not separate files. So inorder for |ShrinkIt to recognize an 800k drive in my RAM I need to know from |one of YOU out there if it can be done. | | I have the AE utilities that let me change the size of my | RAM partition, but it only seems to do it in 64k blocks. | At that rate I would need 12.5 64k blocks. I don't | think it can be done with the program PARTITION from AE. | |A friend of mine on said he could get an 800k RAM partition on his GS, |but he did not know how to do it from ProDOS 8. | | Thanks for your time, | | Chris Scherrer The GS has the RAMDisk sizing controls in the Control Panel. Sorry, I couldn't help, but it looks like you'll have to either find some one to write a driver for you or write it yourself.
