By following this procedure you will have properly
installed the RamPak 4GS, and any software designed to
use higher RAM levels will now automatically take
advantage of your powerful new system.
To be sure the RamPak 4GS is functioning properly,
run the following short test:
1. With all drives empty, turn on the Apple IIGS. Press
CTRL-RESET after the start-up cycle to generate a
cursor.
2. When the cursor appears press CTRL- -ESC
(pressing all three keys together and releasing CTRL
last) to open the IIGS Desk Accessory menu. Select
Control Panel with the up and down arrow keys and
press RETURN.
3. Select RAM DISK with the up and down arrow keys
and press return. The screen will now display the
available system memory and the amount available for
the RAM disk. Your IIGS will not use its 256K internal
RAM for the RAM disk, thus the difference. If
installation has been successful and no other
software is currently loaded, the number shown as
available for the RAM disk should be that of your
RamPak 4GS memory level.
4. Exit from Desk Accessories by selecting QUIT from
any visible menu and pressing RETURN.
Your RamPak 4GS comes standard with 512K of
system memory installed at Orange Micro. While this is
more than enough power to run most applications, you
may have a requirement for larger amounts of RAM, or for
performance reasons you may wish to load several
programs or large spreadsheets into memory at the same
time. Additionally, many innovative new applications
implementing integrated graphics are available or under
