Installing the Utilities on a ProDOS 8 System
Disk:

To install

the RamPak Utilities on any ProDOS 8

System Disk, use the Apple IIGS Desktop or your own
copy utility to copy the file “Cache.System’ from the
RamPak Utilities disk as the first ‘system” file on your
ProDOS 8 system disk. The

“Cache. System”

file

must

be the first “system’ file on your ProDOS 8

system disk.

STARTUP PROCEDURES USING SYSTEM
DISKS WITH RAMPAK UTILITIES INSTALLED

To use your RamPak Utilities after you have installed

them on either a ProDOS 8 or ProDOS 16 system disk,
just reboot your Apple IIGS with the appropriate system
disk and run your application.

NOTE:

If you are using the Pro DOS 8 version of the

utilities, you will be asked to enter the path name of the
next application after the cache utility has loaded. At this
time press the carriage return key, then enter the name
of your application.

The RamPak Utilities are now installed as an Apple

IIGS Classic Desk Accessory, accessible virtually any
time you are computing. To access the RamPak utilities,
type CONTROL- —ESC. This is done by first pressing
the CONTROL key, holding it down, and pressing the
and ESC keys at the same time. This is the standard
procedure for entering the Apple IIGS Desk Accessory
Menu. You will note that “RamPak Utilities” is listed as
one of the selections. Using the UP and DOWN arrow
keys, you will see a highlight bar moving within the
menu. Highlight (or select) “RamPak Utilities” and hit
RETURN. You will soon be presented with the RamPak
Memory Management Utilities menu screen, from which
you can utilitize the full power of the RamPak 4GS.

You may view the settings and statistics on the

RamPak utilities at any time within the Desk Accessory
