Apple EY5QGRAMKEEPER Setting the ROM Disk Size, 32K, increase, increase, decrease by 1K, decrease by 32K

While you can make changes to the ROM Disk Size in 1

K increments, the Memory Allocated For ROM

increases in increments of 64K (a ProDOS criteria). So, when you set the ROM Disk size to 64K, you’re actually using 65K (1K used for RamKeeper). Since you crossed a 64K boundary, the Memory allocated for ROM jumps up to 128K (2 x 64).

The 63K between your 64K setting and the 96K allocated for ROM is not used. So, once you cross over a 64K boundary like that, you might as well use the maximum memory available within that range. For the example above, you might as well set ROM Disk Size to 127K.

Setting the ROM Disk Size

To increase or decrease the ROM Disk size by 1K, use the left or right arrow key.

Each time you press the left arrow key, the

ROM size will decrease by 1K.

Each time you press the right arrow key, the ROM will increase by 1K.

To increase or decrease the ROM Disk size in 32K increments, hold down the open apple key while pressing the left and right arrow keys.

Each time you press the left arrow key with the open apple key held down, the ROM size will decrease by 32K.

Each time you press the right arrow key with the open apple key held down, the ROM will increase by 32K.

Accepts the current setting.

Esc cancels the operation and returns to the main menu.
