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.
