TRAMDISK                 ST Programmer's Manual                  TRAMDISK

NAME
     tramdisk - RAMdisk emulating floppy disks

SYNOPSIS
     tramdnds

DESCRIPTION
     tramdisk is a RAMdisk. It may be placed in an AUTO folder for
     automatic execution, or executed from the desktop at any time.
     It is specially designed to exactly emulate a standard floppy disk 
     for use with TTLEXEC for hard disk backup, but can be used as a 
     general RAMdisk for any purpose. It will not survive a reset. When 
     it begins execution, it checks for either Shift key being held down.
     If one is held down, a menu of different sizes is displayed, along 
     with options for which drive name the RAMdisk should use, or the 
     option to save the configuration information. Size options 0 - 7 are 
     for predefined sizes. To enter some other size, use option 8, and 
     enter the number of sectors present on a compatible floppy disk.

BUGS
     A reset will reclaim the memory used by tramdisk, but to clear
     the drive bit, the system may have to be powered off.
