INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the

most powerful memory sub-systems ever developed for
a microcomputer. With a full half-megabyte of memory
standard, you will immediately expand your Apple IIGS to
three-quarters of a megabyte

--

more fully addressable

memory than ever before available on an Apple II. By
adding additional chips, you can expand your RamPak
4GS to 4 megabytes, for computing power previously
beyond imagination. The RamPak 4GS is designed to
work only with the Apple IIGS, and not the Apple lIe, IIc,
or any other microcomputer system.

The RamPak 4GS also includes powerful software

memory management utilities to help manage your
system. The RamPak utilities disk provides complete
memory diagnostics, disk caching, and dynamic cache
allocation. These features can be used to multiply your
system’s performance level many times over.
