Result: Slower copies.

Remedy:

Create a 512K or 800K RAM Disk.

This allows you to copy from floppy disks to a RAM Disk much more quickly. To set up a 512K or an 800K RAM Disk, follow the instruction in your IIGS User’s Guide.

RAM and the GS Control Panel

You may notice that the actual size shown next to RAM

Disk size in the Control Panel-RAM Disk menu is

smaller than the Minimum RAM Disk Size. This is because RamKeeper overrides the GS Control Panel’s RAM Disk allocation. For example, if you set your Minimum RAM Disk Size to 800K in the RAM Disk menu, but only leave 256K for use as a RAM Disk in the

AE RamKeeper’s - Initialize ROM Disk or change

ROM Disk Size menus, the actual size of the RAM Disk will be 256K.

This causes no particular problems -- as mentioned earlier, you’ll want to use most of your memory as ROM Disk space anyway -- we just wanted to point it out for those who might wonder.
