While you can make changes to the

ROM Disk Size

in 1

K increments, the

Memory Allocated For ROM

increases in increments of 64K (a ProDOS criteria). So,
when you set the ROM Disk size to 64K, you’re actually
using 65K (1K used for RamKeeper). Since you crossed a
64K boundary, the Memory allocated for ROM jumps up
to 128K (2 x 64).

The 63K between your 64K setting and the 96K allocated
for ROM is not used. So, once you cross over a 64K
boundary like that, you might as well use the maximum
memory available within that range. For the example
above, you might as well set

ROM Disk Size

to 127K.

Setting the ROM Disk Size

To increase or decrease the ROM Disk size by

1K,

use the

left or right arrow key.

Each time you press the left arrow key, the

ROM size will decrease by 1K.

Each time you press the right arrow key, the

ROM will increase by

1K.

To increase or decrease the ROM Disk size in 32K
increments, hold down the open apple key while pressing
the left and right arrow keys.

Each time you press the left arrow key with the

open apple key held down, the ROM size will
decrease by 32K.

Each time you press the right arrow key with

the open apple key held down, the ROM will
increase

by 32K.

Accepts the current setting.

Esc

cancels the operation and returns to the

main menu.
