RAVEFORM Copyright (C)1998 Timothy A Tesch RAVEFORM allows you to format the Rave MX01 RAMdisk. Requirements: - 1 to 4 Rave MX01 RAMdisks, with U17 removed - DIP switches set per Rave MX01 documentation from Cecure Electronics. - MDOS 5.00 or above, used to access the RAMdisk A total of four Rave RAMdisks may be used, each with a maximum memory of 512K, to the total size for an achievable maximum RAMdisk size of 2 MB or 8192 sectors. ONE RAMDISK: ------------ To use ONE Rave MX01 RAMdisk with the Geneve, you must first remove U17 (the 32K chip in the upper-right corner) and set the three banks of DIP switches as follows: ---------------------Rave MX01 Card--------------------------+ | (not drawn to scale) | | MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM(U17) | | | | MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM MEM | | ON _____OFF ON_____OFF | | | o | |o | | | | o | | o | | | | o | | o | | | | o | | o | | | | o | | o | | | | o | | o | | | | o | |o | | | |o | | o | | | ------- ------- | | ON _____OFF | | | o | | | | o | | | | o | | | | o | | | | o | | | | o | | | | o | | | |o | | | ------- | LED O)- | |------------------------------------------------------------- RAVEFORM will format the Rave RAMdisks into one contiguous block of sectors. It will then prepare sectors 0 and 1. This routine may be included within future MDOS releases. Have fun! Tim * EOF 5-16-97, 10:45pm
