The following computers support the System 7 RAM disk:
The RAM Disk feature was first built into the ROMs of the Quadra models, and subsequent models include this feature. Models without this code in ROM can't support the System 7.x RAM disk feature, and no software workaround is currently available.
Third-party software is available to provide this function for most Macintosh models. You can use shareware programs, like Ram Disk or AppDisk, available on most on-line services. Or you can purchase Maxima from Connectix. To locate a vendor's address and phone numbers, use the vendor name as a search string.
Note: The Assistant Toolbox extension in the PowerBook File Assistant saves the RAM disk contents between shutdowns.
