It can be shrunk to 1K and opened to as much memory as you have available. It works with TOS in ROM. It can be resized. It can be removed then reinstalled. It apparently works with forth applications (but my version of STTALK does not work with TOS in ROM so I haven't checked that yet). There are only two very minor problems with this RAMDISK: it needs to be treated right (but only at startup) and it does not survive resolution changes (but I haven't investigated this problem carefully). Settup of the RAMDISK must be just exactly as follows: Put intramdk.acc and intramdk.rsc on the boot disk, create a drive D and save the desktop, then boot. When ready to use the RAMDISK for the first time, pull down the desk menu and click on INTERSECT Ramdisk. Then move the mouse pointer to the D box (do nothing else at this time) and click on D. Now set the size you want (note: the lowest amount you can setup for is 12k which gives a 1K RAMDISK) click on install and do the obvious from there. To resize or remove open the desk menu and click on INTERSECT Ramdisk, then click on remove (to resize just reset size and click on install). If at any point you see a dialog box indicating that the specified drive is not available you must cycle power and reboot (your machine will lock up soon after that if you don't - I have been told this is due to a bug in TOS in ROM). With practice you will eventually get to the point where that dialog box never appears except by accident. If you try all of the above and the RAMDISK fails to install try creating a new bootdisk with desktop.inf being the first file created on that disk. This may not be necessary but it seems that I began making progress with the installation of this thing when I did that. Below are the .acc and .rsc files needed. They are pasted together like this: . . -----------cut here------ <.acc> -----------cut here----- comment -----------cut here----- <.rsc> ----------cut here------ comment -------------------------cut here----------------------------- begin 644 intramdk.acc M8!H ":@ &+ +4H "Y\ PT$ZY ">"Z\ M $Y!(B\ !# \ ,A.0DYU,^\ ! *"H,>0 !
