Booting from the RAM Disk w/o Your Own System
Loaded
To boot the program from a RAM disk, you'll need to set up
a RAM disk of at least SOOK. If you have enough memory, you
can create a RAM disk large enough to hold several sound files
as well as the program. (Hefer to your
IIGS
Owner's Guide for
direction on sizing the RAM disk.) However, keep in mind
that the more memory you use as RAM, the less the program
has to use to record and play sound files .
Initialize the RAM disk first and then copy the entire AA
startup disk to your RAM disk.
If copying with the Finder, do not drag the icon of the Audio
Animator disk onto the RAM disk icon. Instead:
1) Open the AA disk icon first
2) Select All (O-A)
3) Drag all the files to the RAM disk icon.
This allows the computer to find the files it needs to boot .
• :. Note: Because this is an auto-start program, when
you boot it from the RAM disk and Quit (O-Q),
you'll just be returned to the program. You'll need
to eject the disk and reboot the computer to run a
different program.
From RAM, ROM, or Hard Disk w / GS/OS Installed
If
your RAM, ROM, or hard disk is already set up with GS/OS,
simply copy the
AA.SYS16
file from the Audio Animator disk
to the volume .
• :. Important: You must have the AA driver,
CARD8S30.MIDI in your DRIVERS folder in the
SYSTEM folder (path name /"BOOT.DISK"/SYSTEM
/DRIVERS). You must also have Tool 32 and Tool 33
in the Tools folder in the SYSTEM folder (path name
/"BOOT.DISK"/SYSTEM/TOOLS).
If you want to keep the current settings intact (color, volume,
etc.), you'll need to also copy the
AAPARAMS
file from the
System
directory of the Audio Animator program disk to
the
System
directory of your boot disk.
You may also want to copy any digitized or MIDI files with
which you plan to work onto the RAM, ROM, or hard disk if
there is room.
