Rambuffr.ACC
The Micro-Time RamBuffer accessory consists of the following
files:
RamBuffr.ACC
RamBuffr.RSC
RamBuffr.DAT
In order for the RamBuffer accessory to work properly, you must
have the RamBuffr.RSC on the same disk as the RamBuffr.ACC file.
When these files are put on your boot disk, the RamBuffer
accessory will be properly installed and can be selected from the
Desk dropdown menu.
When selected, the RamBuffer accessory will open up a window on
your screen. It is divided into two parts :
Printer Buffer
Ram Disk
Printer Buffer: Just enter amount of RAM needed for the printer
buffer and click on install. When you send something to the
printer, the contents is stored in the printer buffer and sent to
the printer. Your computer will be freed up after the printer
buffer has received the entire document from the computer. If
while printing, you decide to stop the printing process, you can
click on NOW IN USE from within RAMBUFFR.ACC. This will clear the
printer buffer.
Ram disk: Just like the printer buffer, select the amount of
memory that you want set aside for the Ram Disk and click on INSTALL.
The Drive D ICON has already been installed on your MICRO-TIME
disk. To install a different drive ICON, just click on a different
drive letter in the USE DRIVE section and install the appropriate
drive ICON from the desktop. Then if you Save Desktop, your
ramdisk drive Icon will appear on boot up, as Drive A & B do.
Because of the way GEM operates, the Ram disk or the printer
buffer should only installed or removed from the desktop for best
results. This is because a good share of programs take up all of
available memory for themselves.
Exit / Save
After you are finished, click on DONE with the mouse or just press
RETURN. If you click on SAVE, a file will be saved to drive A
or C, which will contain the current settings of the RAMDISK and
the PRINT BUFFER. This file, RamBuffer.DAT will be loaded into your
computer on boot up.
