CHAPTER
Two
RamKeeper Firmware
The software needs little or no explanation for basic
operation; its simply simple to use. However, not
knowing the full potential of its functions is like owning a
James Bond car and not knowing what the buttons do.
To fully understand and take advantage of RamKeeper’s
features, read through this chapter once and display the
menus on your screen as they’re being described.
About The Firmware
All of RamKeeper's firmware resides in an EPROM on the
RamKeeper card. We have loaded it with features while
keeping it easy to use. The RamKeeper utilities include
memory tests, an auto startup checksum, a data recovery
mechanism, ROM size reallocation (with no loss of data
stored in ROM) and more.
This sounds like a lot to control, but if you can use the IIGS
Control Panel with no problem, mastering RamKeeper
will be a breeze.
Loading the Firmware
Boot up your computer as you normally do. Then access
the Classic Desk Accessories menu (CDA) by holding
down the Open Apple and Control keys while pressing
ESC ( - then ).
* Note: If your computer is giving you a boot error
message, don’t worry; it is because your startup
slot has now been changed. Continue with these
instructions.
Use the up and down arrow keys ( ), as instructed
at the bottom of the menu, to highlight the Control Panel
option. Press “Return.’
Highlight the Slots option and press “Return.”
