-
- This special device simulates a trackdisk compliant block device in any
- region of memory. Unlike the RAM DISK (which is in fact not even a device)
- or the ramdrive.device, memory.device allows the exact definition of the
- memory to use for data storage.
-
- The purpose memory.device has been developed for is to use it on systems
- equipped with different RAM chips or local memory busses. In conjunction
- with VMM or similar virtual memory packages a memory region with slower RAM
- chips may be used as swap area. This idea originates from the z2ram device
- which has been written for Linux/68k/Amiga.
-
- Other applications with memory.device are conceivable, ranging from whitty
- over funny to perverted. Use it on your own risk, it is a license to crash
- the system.
-
- Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide® document to obtain further
- information about the installation and usage of memory.device.
