The Pro-dos RAM code just soaks up any spare RAM and sets it up as a RAMdisk, - Drive C on a two disk Sam.
No MasterDos or MasterBasic is used , in fact they were not about when Chris was writing Pro-Dos. CP/M disks have a different format than SamDos / MasterDos. I'm hoping Chris will read this.? @ Calvin you never talk cr*p - this is where ideas come from and you just might give someone else the idea and try something new! :-) Steve(spt) steve [AT] parry-thomas.co.uk _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Calvin Allett Sent: 02 June 2007 16:09 To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Subject: Re: Wish List - Software That`s a pity, I thought at least something extra would be able with RAM Disk :( I knew I was talking crap again :) Colin Piggot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Steve is the Prodos expert, and of course Chris who wrote it, but from what I can see Prodos uses it's own Ram disk system (i.e. not via MasterDOS) and also the discs are in cp/m format.

Good luck getting something sorted regarding Atom support :) For now, would it be possible/helpful to knock up in MasterBasic a front end and file requester, to allow you to select certain files, or images and put them in RAM Drive. This might help going through them, browsing? Are Prodos disks on normal SAMDos format? or in a CP/M format, as you could even build up virtual disks (from many) then bang em in the RAM, before launching Prodos, which could be beneficial?
