4.6 LOADING FILES INTO A RAM EXPANSION UNIT
If you have a 1700 or 1750 RAM expander, or a CMD RAMLink, C-NET is able to
make use of it to store three types of files:
(1) Program modules (prg.* files)
(2) File transfer protocols and machine language overlays (proto*
files)
(3) Sequential files which are read by the system from start to
finish, that is, any completely NON-DATA SEQ files (such as
menus, g-files, welcome and exit files, not including message
base entry files).
not exceed 10,240 bytes (approximately 40 disk blocks).
The RAM expanders are divided into banks of 64K bytes (about 256 disk
blocks). The 1700 has 2 of these banks; the 1750 has 8.

file into the expander, it finds not enough room in the current bank for
the file it is attempting to load, it will move to the next bank, leaving
some memory in the previous bank unused.
1700 can
store 512 blocks, but because some of the memory at the end of each of its
two banks
must be wasted, the 1700 may only be good for 480, or even 430 blocks.

To use a RAM expander, designate a blank and formatted disk as your "RAM
loading disk" and copy to it all files you wish to load into the RAM
expander, as well as the files "prg.setup" and "m5" from the C-NET master
disk. You may use multiple disks for program/proto files, and a separate
