RamDisk the DoubleEged Sword
« on: March 21, 2003, 04:00:54 AM »
.. or just really annoying.

Do the Ram Disk's contents in an Amiga get lost (like I rather suspect they do) when you turn it off. My Windows PC does that. Oh and, Windows doesn't like the RAM thing, but it lives with it, and can even access the drive.

Not being an Amiga owner that confused me.  I knew you could use Ram in Amiga for files(like I do in my old windows Pc, I don't think my new one does it, sort of a DOS utility), but I wasn't sure how you could possibly could reset it and keep the data (which I've heard mentioned a couple times on websites). So thank you.

Currently I only use emulation. I'm thinking of (if I could find a cheap one) buying an old Amiga, for funsies.  If the new Amiga gets the software I need, then that'd probably be my next computer. As it is though, I find Amigas a very interesting kind of computer. nothing else has can run an OS off of RAM, and neither Mac nor windows are very streamlined, which irks me, they just run slow and buggy.

Oh and atheist, wow thats al ot of information, RAD seems very interesting.... and useful.

Hmm, do does the RAD Disk work like my Palm's memory. Since turning a Palm Pilot off and on is really a warm reset.
