What is RAMDrive?
 
RAMDrive is a new approach to   RAM expansion for the Commodore 64 and   128 computers. RAMDrive may be used as   a stand-alone RAM expander or may be combined with RAMLink for a more   flexible RAM disk system. RAMDrive plugs directly into the C=64/C=128   cartridge port and provides a RAM disk   drive system which, when used with the supplied DOS, is compatible with standard Commodore DOS commands.  RAMDrive greatly enhances the capabilities of your system by providing high-speed loading,saving, and many other standard DOS functions.   The RAMDrive hardware/software interface provides a high degree of   compatibility to allow vast amounts of current software to utilize RAM as if it were a disk drive.RAMDrive is power -backed to protect the contents of RAM   when your computer is switched off or may use a battery in place of the power unit to protect data when a power failure occurs. RAMDrive will also work in conjunction with a Commodore REU on a modified Aprospand Bus.
 
Performance
 
RAMDrive uses RL DOS to give you the speed you expect from a RAM disk.   Unlike Commodore's RAMDOS, RAMDrive is not bogged down by constant memory swaps. This enables RAMDrive to perform up to 20 times faster than RAMDOS for   most types of file access. In addition, RAMDrive's version of RL DOS has built-in JiffyDOS Kernal routines to provide greatly increased speed and other features when accessing serial drives equipped with JiffyDOS.
 
Why Choose RAMDrive?
 
RAMDrive, with it's extensive DOS and   power-backed features, is an obvious   choice over any other standard RAM unit available. For those who don't need the  extensive capabilities of RAMLink, RAMDrive provides an affordable alternative without sacrificing compatibility or speed. RAMDrive may also be used in combination with RAMLink to battery-back a portion of  RAM without RAMLink's optional battery backup unit.
