Setting
RAM
disk size
Before
you
can use
the
memory
on the card as a
RAM
disk,
you
need
to use the Control
Panel Program
to tell the
computer
how much
of
the
memory
on
the
card
you
want to set aside for use
as a
RAM
disk.
(See
Figure 2-1.)

If
you
won't
be copying applications to the
card or saving docu-
ments
to the card,
don't designate any of the
memory
on the card
for
use as
a RAM
disk.
This leaves
all
of the
memory
on the card
for
use by applications
that use the
memory
automatically. If
you
will be
copying applications
to the card and saving
documents on the
card, use the Control
Panel
Program
to designate the
maximum
and
minimum RAM
disk size. Setting an upper
limit restricts
the
amount of
memory
on the card that
you
srn use as a RAM
disk.
Setting
a
minimum
amount
restricts
the
amount of
memory
that
applications can use; it
guarantees
that there will alway's
be
a certain
amount of
memory
avarlable
for
you
to use as a RAM
disk.
