Chapter 1— Learning About the Terminal
Drive E
Drive E is a configurable RAM drive (up to 256K). The contents of this
drive are erased when you boot or reset the terminal. You can store up to
128 files on drive E, and you can access these files using standard ANSI C
functions. By default, the RAM drive is not configured and the memory is
available for programmable (Malloc) memory allocations. To configure the
RAM drive, see "RAM Drive Size" in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family
system manual.
Drive G (Optional)
Drive G is an optional 2MB or 4MB extended storage drive that is only
available on the 2430. Use this drive to store large lookup tables and data
files. You can store up to 128 files on drive G, and you can access these
files using standard ANSI C functions.
Malloc or Free Memory
On the terminals, applications are customer defined. You have 512K total
RAM that you can use for the application execution space. You can also
configure this RAM to be the RAM drive (up to 256K). The remaining
RAM is the Malloc/free memory pool.
