INTRODUCTION About The GS-RAM III Card Memory Expansion--The GS-RAM III allows you to increase the Random Access Memory (RAM) capacity of your Apple IIGS. RAM is the memory that can be both read From and written to--the addressable memory. Many programs automatically look for and use available RAM to give them more room to operate (desktop space).
AW 3 Expansion Software --with your GS- RAM, you’ve also received Applied Engineering’s AW 3 Expander software. This program will greatly enhance the popular AppleWorks integrated software package adding such features as more Word Processor lines and Data Base records, an expanded clipboard, Multiple Disk Save and more.
CHAPTER ONE Getting Started + Note: If you’re using GS-RAM III with the RamKeeper, plug it into the front side of the RamKeeper only. This chapter tells you how to install and test the GS-RAM III memory expansion card.
Location of the Switches Your board may use either Flip Switches or Rocker Switches Refer Co the drawing below for proper settings Memory | Switch | Switch 2 1 Megabyte | Off | Off 2 Megabytes | On | .
7) Insert the card. Insert the gold edge-connector into the Memory Expansion Slot until it is completely seated. The chips will be facing the power supply on the left side of the computer. You can wiggle the card gently, back to front, to ensure a firm connection.
If you don’t use the Finder, you can use the “Copy Files” option of your GS utility disk or the “Filer” program included on the AW 3 Expander disk. + Note: Instructions for copying with Filer are included in the Appendix of the AW 3 Expander manual.
CHAPTER Two The GS -RAM III as a RAM Disk Many of the newer application programs take advantage of the extended memory automatically. However, you may want to use part of the extended memory to emulate a RAM disk.
+ Remember: Powering down will in turn erase what is currently in the temporary RAM disk you have created. Save any data from the RAM Disk that you do not want to erase before powering down. Addressing the GS-RAM III Disk Some applications may ask you to identify your RAM disk by slot and drive number.
Using the GS-RAM III RAM Disk Now you are ready to use the RAM disk you have created. Think of it as a regular disk. You can format it then save or copy documents or applications onto it. FORMATTlNG You need to format the RAM disk only if you plan to use It as your startup device.
COPYING You can copy programs to the RAM disk with the "Copy Files~ option on your System Utility Disk. You may prefer to use the Finder to make direct copies of ProDOS applications by dragging the application’s icon to your RAM disk’s icon. SAVING You can save documents onto the RAM disk just as you do on a regular disk.
CHAPTER THREE Adding More Memory Memory Increments Your GS-RAM III can be expanded in 1Mb increments up to 4Mb on the board. When you want to add more than 4Mb, you can attach the 2Mb ‘Piggyback” Expander for a total of 6Mb . Call Æ sales at (214) 241-6060 for more information about the Expander.
Fill the memory blocks in numerical order. Refer to the illustrations below. 1) Remove the card from your computer if it is currently Installed. 2) Position the chip so that the notch (or dot, on some chips) points UP, away from the gold edge-connector on the bottom of the card.
5) Set the Switches. You must have the switches in the proper position in order for the correct amount of memory to be used. Your board may use either Flip Switches or Rocker Switches.
