- ** Changing Any MountList Parameters Except As Noted Below Will Cause
- ** The Recoverable Ram Disk To Cease To Function.
- */
-
- /*
- ** IF YOU HAVE SOME FAST RAM:
- **
- ** Make BufMemType equal to 5.
- ** Set HighCyl appropriately.
- **
- ** IF YOU HAVE ONLY CHIP RAM (NO RAM EXPANSION):
- **
- ** Make BufMemType equal to 3.
- ** Set HighCyl appropriately.
- **
- ** Increasing the value of Buffers will actually slow down the ram disk.
- **
- ** The BufMemType flag is actually the second parameter of the AllocMem
- ** calls the kernel will make to allocate internal buffers. Making the
- ** value places the buffers in Fast ram. A value of 3 places the buffers
- ** in Chip ram.

- /*
- ** Setting HighCyl
- **
- ** HighCyl determines the maximum size of the recoverable ram disk. It
- ** defines the number of tracks there are in the disk. Each track con-
- ** tains 16 512 byte blocks (or 8K of information). Changing HighCyl
- ** and rebooting will cause a fresh (empty) recoverable ram disk to be
- ** created.
- **
- ** It is better to run out of space on the recoverable ram disk than
- ** to run out of memory. That is, don't set HighCyl to make a disk
- ** larger than your total amount of memory.
- **
- ** Remember, the ASDG Recoverable Ram Disk does full dynamic memory
- ** management. That is, HighCyl is really just a Maximum size. Setting
- ** HighCyl to a large number does *NOT* mean you automatically lose a
- ** lot of memory.
- **
- ** HighCyl MUST BE ODD!
- **
- ** Suggested HighCyl Values:
- **
- ** Fast Ram Installed HighCyl Value Max Ram Disk Size
- **
- ** 0 15 128k
- ** 512k 31 256k
- ** 1Mbyte 63-95 512k-768k
- ** 2Mbytes 127-191 1Mbyte-1.5Mbytes
- ** 4Mbytes 255-383 2Mbytes-3Mbytes
- ** 8Mbytes Anything less
- ** than 1024
- **
- ** REMEMBER: If you have Fast Ram that autoconfigs, some amount of
- ** it will be used by the operating system even before the recoverable
- ** ram disk starts up. So, you've actually got about 100K less than
- ** you think.
- **
- ** NOTE: Using Addbuffers with the ASDG Recoverable Ram Disk will
- ** slow the ram disk's performance.
