Terminal Configuration: Load a RAM Disk

Loading a RAM Disk

RAM disks allow the PDT 7200's RAM to be organized as a simulated disk for writable data
storage. To create one or more RAM disks, you can use RAMDRIVE.SYS (supplied as part
of DOS).

Standard RAM Disk Driver

RAMDRIVE.SYS creates a RAM disk in extended, expanded, or conventional memory, or
a combination of extended and conventional memory. The RAM disk created through
RAMDRIVE.SYS is NOT protected, and its contents are always lost on terminal reboot
(warm or cold).

Multiple RAM Disks

It is possible to create multiple RAM drives using Microsoft's RAMDRIVE.SYS. The multiple
RAM drive option allows you to separate application files on more than one RAM drive
letter.
