Message-ID: <21721@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU> Date: Wed, 11-Nov-87 15:25:20 EST Article-I.D.: ucbvax.21721 Posted: Wed Nov 11 15:25:20 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 14-Nov-87 02:52:44 EST Sender: usenet@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: munson@renoir.Berkeley.EDU (Ethan V. Munson) Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 10 We have just upgraded our old Fat Mac to a Plus configuration with two 800K floppy drives. We used to use RamDisk version 1.2 to load the system and finder into memory, since 400K floppies are so slow. Is it worth doing this now that we have faster floppies, a much larger system, and a disk cache? We use the Mac to draw figures and to check out interesting software, not for program development.
