Systems with RAM Drive Storage
"
If using a RAM drive, you will trade off execution and disk" storage space.
First determine the amount of execution space needed and then use the
balance for the RAM drive. Of course, the RAM drive must be large enough
to contain DOS, Windows, the application, the data files, and the files
created during execution. If the numbers do not add up, you need to considĆ
er an increase in RAM size.
"
The RAM drive can only be formatted in 1 megabyte increments; but you
should consider the minimum RAM size (for the PEN*KEY 6000 Series
Computer) in order to run Windows applications without PC Card storage,
is 8 MB; of which at least 4 MB should be devoted to execution space, leavĆ
ing 4 MB for the RAM drive.
"
You can have one RAM Drive, with a maximum size (as specified in the
RAM Drive
paragraph, in the
Getting Started
section of this publication).
Systems with External Storage
"
The PEN*KEY 6000 Series Computer offers SanDisk and flash memory
cards that can dramatically increase the space available for storing applicaĆ
tion files. A PC Card solution also eliminates the requirement for a RAM
drive, freeing onĆboard memory for use as execution space.
"
Even if you plan to have all files on a PC Card drive, you must be certain
that you have enough RAM for execution. In these configurations, it is not
possible to increase the size of executable RAM without hardware modificaĆ
tion or replacement. You can easily add external storage, but you cannot
easily add more RAM.
"
Storing data on a PC Card is usually safer, and less prone to data loss.
