Its really easy to fill it up.  AmigaOS has RAM:  (ramdisk.device)

A lot of ppl like to play their games from RAM: the first time they try them to decide if they are any good.  Other ppl do it the other way around and only put a game in their RAM: if they do like it, to make it load faster.  These are things random ppl tell me.


I used to do this all the time with Dune II :)
'Twas lightning fast running from the RAM, and had no wait states.
Amiga WAS memory starved from the beginning. If only A1200 was launched with 2+2MB of RAM we would have had more then 2x faster machine, and with room for little extra gaming material.
Glory to the loud-mouthed Scotsman !
