The Quadram RAM Drive has the very nice feature of looking exactly
like a floppy. They are compatible with FORMAT, DISKCOPY and
DISKCOMP. This permits copying software program disks containing hidden
and/or system files to ramdrive.
The size of the drives can be adjusted in relatively small increments
at installation. Parameter values of 5 or 10 yield full single sided
or double sided drives suitable for diskcopy operations. Other parm
values result in a portion of the disk being `bad sectored.' Except
for diskcopy operations the result is a perfectly good intermediate
sized disk.
Except as noted memory size is determined by MEMORY_SIZE at 0000:0413.
Thus it is possible to utilize memory above the PC system board switch
limit of 544KB.
Don't let the XT in the names mislead you. They work fine on the PC.
