This is a utility which may prove useful to owners of Macintosh¨ Quadraª or PowerBookª computers. These machines support a RAM disk as a standard feature. While the RAM disk can be enabled or disabled, and its size configured through the Memory control panel, the RAM diskÕs name is less convenient to change. Every time the system is first powered on, the name reverts to ÒRAM Disk,Ó at least on English language systems. Most users have to manually change the diskÕs name after power-on if they prefer a different name. If personal file sharing is configured to start up automatically, it may even become impossible to change the name just a few seconds after booting.
RAM Disk Namer is a control panel and system extension that allows the RAM disk name to be changed conveniently and automatically to the desired name on every reboot, including power-on. In order to function correctly, this control panel should be placed in the Control Panels folder and its name should follow alphabetically the name of the Memory control panel.
