Initializing RAM Disks
Each RAM disk volume must be initialized before it can be used. Volume 0 can
be initialized using the RAM_MNG procedure stored on the internal ROM’s
IB_UTIL menu. Volumes 1, 2, and 3 must be initialized from the IBASIC Cntrl
screen.
The optional ‘volume size’ in the following procedure lets you specify the
memory area set aside for each disk in 256 byte blocks.
Follow these steps to initialize volumes 1, 2, or 3:
1. Press TESTS.
2. Select IBASIC Cntrl from the SET UP TEST SET list.
3 Position the cursor to the data entry field and select it.
4. Using the list of characters from the Choices menu, enter the following command:
INITIALIZE “:MEMORY,0,<volume number 1-3>”,<volume size>
or
INITIALIZE “:MEMORY,0,1”,50
