Subject:  Ram Factor

I purchased my RamFactor from AE in mid 86, for my IIE.  I also got a
RamCharger  soon thereafter.

It is in fact possible to cold boot with that configuration.
Unfortunately, the docs that come with the hardware are not
very descriptive as to how to go about it.

It is well known that PRODOS formats any block of RAM that it sees when booting
as a RAM disk. But, when using the RamFactor board to boot with the
RamCharger, you must use the formatter and format the RamFactor while the
charger is on.  Note that the RamFactor board is placed in slot 7 of a IIE.
You must save the files that you wish to boot into onto the card before
power down.  At any rate, I now use my RamFactor on my IIGS, and it still
works just fine.

My Apple comes up running in less than three seconds.  That's the way it was
with my IIE, and the way it is with my  IIGS.
It is unfortunate that you are having difficulties, and I am not completely
sure that the problems were machine based, but for what it's worth,  good luck.
