The format of the RAMPAC is not dependant on the computer.  It may be used by a
102, 200 or 100 with an adaptor cable (since the expansion bus is different).

Let's see... perhaps I should cover how to reserve himem RAM for the running of
.CO files.

RAMDSK.CO, like any .CO file, runs from a specific set of addresses in HIMEM
but the amount of space to clear is not random.  Each .CO file requires a
different number.  Here's how you determin the number:

 Go into BASIC
 LOADM"RAMDSK    <enter>

You'll get three numbers.  The number referred to as the "Top" number is what
you want to remember.

 CLEAR0,MAXRAM   <enter>
 CLEAR256,XXXXX  <enter>

Enter the "Top" number in place of the XXXXX above.  Now, when you place your
bar cursor over the RAMDSK file it will run; not beep at you.

Good luck... -Rick-
