Addressing
the RAM
disk
Many
applications
will
ask
for
the
locarion
of
your
RAM
disk
by slot
and drive number.
A memory
expansion
card
used as
a
RAM
disk
appears
to be in
slot
5,
just
as
a
3.5-inch
drive connected
to
the disk
drive
port
appears
to be in
slot
5.
The
following
rules
and examples
explain
how
to
figure
out where
your
RAM
disk is in relation
to
your
3.5-inch
drives.
tules
1. Your
startup
device is
always
drive 1.
@emember,
you
can
change the
starttrp
device
by
using
the
Control
Panel
program.)
2. RAM
disks
come
before
3.5-inch
disks.
E:ramples
r If
a RAM
disk is
your
swtup device, it is
drive L,
your
first
3.5-inch
drive is
ddve
2,
and
your
second
3.5-inch
drive
is
drive
3.
r
If
a
3.5-inch
drive is
your
starhlp device, it is
drive 1,
the RAM
disk
is
drive
2,
and the
second
3.5-inch
drive is
drive
3.
*
Note: ProDOSo
1.1.1
supports
only
two devices
per
slot;
so
with PToDOS
1.1.l-based
applications,
"drive
3"-your
second
3.5-indr
drive-is invisible.
Applications
that use
PToDOS
7.2
rcolgnizc
up to
four
devices
per
slot,
so this
isn't
a
problem
(although
it will
take
some
getting
used
to: the third
device is
assigned
to slot
2,
drive
1;
and
the
fourth
device
to slot
2,
drive 2).
