I know that the highcyl has to be an odd, positive number, also, it uses up the ram, whether it's empty or full, and can't be changed in size, after it is made.

As far as I know, you can't make more than 1.

These apply to 1.3.3. Probably to all the other versions as well.

When you re-boot, all the assigns will be set to the rad:

But, you may need to use the
Install rad: boot
command, before it will boot off of the rad:

Also, I got the impression in 1.3.3, that the rad: could be set to survive 1 OR multiple re-boots, depeng on a mountlist setting.

 Billsey mentioned a good program to use for fast ram ON accelerators.

Check "startup-sequence" and any other scripts run on startup for direct references to df0: or named floppies.

If you still have probs, ask, if this helped, that is.

AmigaOne! RAD: and RAM:, are 2 of MANY reasons why I am so devoted to AOS!!!!!

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

Some copy protected games can be run in ram:, rad:, (I have tricked them in various ways) and that is COOL, unfortunately, some put a delay in, knowing at certain points disk access is happening, those are a downer.

AmigaOne! Feed those 640 Meg games to my 1.8 Gig ram drive!!!!!!! :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

Can you do THAT on linux, muc, xp, 95/98????
