EQRAMDVR.SYS OPTIONS AND OPERATION There is one option for EQRAMDVR.SYS. Typing a /n (where n is a number from 1 to 4) after DEVICE=EQRAMDVR.SYS sets the number of RAM disks that can be supported. In the instructions above, the /2 will allow the Equity I to support two RAM disks. If the /n option is omitted,- EQRAMDVR.SYS sets up support for one RAM disk. When the system boots, EQRAMDVR.SYS will display a sign on message similar to this: RAM disk emulator support installed at drive(s)-C:, D: There will from one to four drive letters shown, depending on the /n option. When you execute your RAM disk program, be sure to use the drive letter shown in the sign on message. For example, using Tecmar's MEMDISK program, you would type this command at the MS-DOS prompt: MEMDISK D: -BUF160 This would set up a 160K RAM disk at drive D:. If you attempt to use one of the EQRAMDVR.SYS drives before running your RAM disk program, you will get one of the following error messages: Not ready error reading drive x Abort, Retry, Ignore? or Bad command error reading drive x Abort, Retry, Ignore? The x would actually be the letter of the drive you tried to access. Press A to abort, then run your RAM disk program. Page 7 of 9

the MS-DOS prompt:
MEMDISK D: -BUF160
This would set up a 160K RAM disk at drive D:.
If you attempt to use one of the EQRAMDVR.SYS drives before
