Hi, I've got a PCMCIA adapter with a 256mb flash card for transfering files between machines. When I bought it, it came already formatted and had a volume name. No prob with that - the card works fine. But if I look at it with Prepdisk, it gives the option of preparing it as Ram. Has anyone actually tried this?
I know the memory access will be a lot slower than "real" ram but having a spare 256mb of memory might be fun for a while..? Even a smaller flash card, say 32mb, configured as ram would add some useful power to a basic 1mb A600 with a hard drive, for instance. (Yes, I have one of those as it happens!)
I bought a cheap 16mb flash card off eBay but Prepcard refused to co-operate, stating that it was write protected! Dunno what that was all about.. :shrug: .Directory Opus couldn't see it at all. As this seemed to render the card useless, I didn't want to chance messing with the bigger card and losing that!
Anybody took the plunge and got results?
