Apple EY5QGRAMKEEPER 28

The RamKeeper will now automatically install its firmware utilities into the Classic Desk Accessories (CDA) menu every time you boot using a system disk containing

the AERAMKEEPER file.

*Remember: To be able to access the AE RamKeeper Desk Accessory, you must copy this file to any boot disk youll be using. So, if you plan to boot from your ROM Disk and want access to RamKeeper’s firmware, you’ll need to copy it to the Desk Accessories folder (subdirectory) on your ROM Disk.

Once you have copied the file to your DESK.ACCS folder, you can delete the file from AEROM.

If you ever lose the system disk(s) that contains this file, you'll need to reinitialize the ROM Disk so that it will create another AERAMKEEPER file. Be sure to save your ROM Disk files to floppy disks before reinitializing.

*Note: For more information about using the Finder, refer to the Apple IIGS System Disk User’s Guide.
