Good deal Tony. What do you mean by "a slightly changed menu" - different than menu of RAMDSK.CO? If you saved RAM100.CO in the Rampac, it's somewhere other than Sector 002 and Sector 001, which is where RAMDSK.CO is located. Now you need the M10x specific LOADER.BA, which you "had and used before" and from the Library you need RD1OF2.DO and RD2OF2.DO which you merge to form RD.BA. Run RD.BA with Rampac attached. After a while a graphic "sector map" appears and the cursor sets on Sector 001 (top line, 2nd position). Press the RightArrow key once to move to Sector 002. Here an icon letter appears, small letter c meaning a .CO file spanning more than one sector (capital letter C if whole .CO file is in one sector). Sector 002 is the starting sector of file RAMDSK.CO and you have a M200 specific LOADER.BA that relies upon Sector 002 and Sector 001 for extracting the code block of RAMDSK.CO. This is fine. Now look around for other small letter c icons. One of them is the first sector of RAM100.CO - just use Arrow keys to navigate the cursor to each one. At each, CTRL+RightArrow to trace forward the .CO file - at bottom of screen file name and sector linkage scrools while on graphic "sector map" linkage lines trace the file sector-to-sector. When you see name RAM100CO at bottom of screen, stop navigating and tracing - jot down the >nnn>nnn at bottom of screen which are the two Sector numbers where RAM100.CO resides in the Rampac. Then LOAD the M10x specific LOADER.BA and LIST it. Where you see the OUT S,2 and OUT S,1 statements, you EDIT them to read OUT S,nnn and OUT S,nnn which are the first sector and second (and End) sector of RAM100.CO. That's it - LOADER.BA can then extract RAM100.CO from your Rampac. Let me know how you make out Tony.
