  2.  
  3.        RAVEFORM allows you to format the Rave MX01 RAMdisk.
  4.  
  5.        Requirements:
  6.  
  7.             - 1 to 4 Rave MX01 RAMdisks, with U17 removed
  8.             - DIP switches set per Rave MX01 documentation from Cecure
  9.               Electronics.
  10.             - MDOS 5.00 or above, used to access the RAMdisk
  11.  
  12.        A total of four Rave RAMdisks may be used, each with a maximum memory
  13.        of 512K, to the total size for an achievable maximum RAMdisk size of
  14.        2 MB or 8192 sectors.
  15.  
  16.        ONE RAMDISK:
  17.        ------------
  18.        To use ONE Rave MX01 RAMdisk with the Geneve, you must first remove
  19.        U17 (the 32K chip in the upper-right corner) and set the three banks
  20.        of DIP switches as follows:

  50.        RAVEFORM will format the Rave RAMdisks into one contiguous block of
  51.        sectors. It will then prepare sectors 0 and 1.
  52.  
  53.        This routine may be included within future MDOS releases.
