Power outages are typically accompanied by
transient surges of power. If you have not
already, consider adding a line filter/surge
protector to protect your computer, RamKeeper
and the battery. Surge protectors are available at
most computer stores and Radio Shack®.

AE RamKeeper doesn’t appear in Desk Accessories

You need to copy the file

AERAMKEEPER

from the

ROM Disk to the

DESK.ACCS

folder in your boot

disks System folder. (See Loading the
Firmware”
in Chapter Two.)

Can’t boot from floppy drive

Slot 5

must be set to Smart

Port

and

Startup

Slot

should be set to Scan in the IIGS Control

Panel.

“Invalid RK Configuration” Message

you get this message when you try to boot, it is
because the card on back of the RamKeeper in a
two card arrangement is not configured with a
multiple of 512K. The back card must have 512K,
1 Meg, 1.5 Meg, 2 Meg, 3 Meg, etc; 256K and 768K
on the back card will not work.

Can’t change ROM Disk size to more than 2,048K

You have reached a ProDOS block boundary.
You’ll need to reinitialize the ROM Disk for a
new setting of more than 2,048. (See “More than
2 Meg”
in Chapter Two.)

“Unable to Load PrODOS” Message

If you’re trying to boot from ROM, the system
folders must be on the main level (the root
directory) of the ROM disk. If you dragged the
icon of the System disk to the AEROM disk (using
the Finder), all the boot files will be in a folder of
their own on AEROM. You’ll need to open this
folder, use the

Select All

option, and drag the

folder’s contents to AEROM. You can throw away
the now-empty folder.
