Section 8 of 11 - Prev - Next
All sections - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11
- Quarter-Mega-XL C.Buchholz 192k
4000-7FFF 2,3,5,6 B ($D301)
Banks: A3,A7,AB,AF,C3,C7,CB,CF,E3,E7,EB,EF (=newer version);
Notes: compatible to Peterson, Rambo XL and newer Newell versions;
replaces the 8 RAM 4164 with 8 RAM 41256 and thus uses 64k as main RAM
and 192k as Ramdisk (therefore most RD-testers will see 240k memory);
older versions were designed for 32k banks, but with the appearance of
the 130XE as the new standard, the design had been changed to 16k banks;
Atari Basic: YES! XL/XE Selftest: YES! Antic access: no!
- Rambo XL ICD 192k
4000-7FFF 2,3,5,6 B ($D301)
Banks: A3,A7,AB,AF,C3,C7,CB,CF,E3,E7,EB,EF;
Notes: compatible to Buchholz, Peterson and newer Newell versions;
replaces the 8 RAM 4164 with 8 RAM 41256 and uses 64k as main RAM and
192k as Ramdisk (therefore most RD-testprograms will see 240k memory);
built in Atari Basic: YES!, XL/XE Selftest: YES! Antic access: no!
- Rambo=>512k Dan Schmid 512k
4000-7FFF 2,3,5,6,7 B ($D301)
Banks: 00,04,08,0C,20,24,28,2C,40,44,48,4C,60,64,68,6C, (Basic
80,84,88,8C,A0,A4,A8,AC,C0,C4,C8,CC,E0,E4,E8,EC; on??)
Notes: this "project" should upgrade a Rambo XL to 576kbytes;
the docs were found on Pooldisk Too (SUBDIR: ACE/Acec202 a+b);
Atari Basic: YES! XL/XE Selftest: YES! Antic access: no (?)
- Satantronic`s 1MB PC-SIMM Ramdisk 1024k

C1,C3,C5,C7,C9,CB,CD,CF,E1,E3,E5,E7,E9,EB,ED,EF
Notes: Extended RAM is not available from BASIC. But with a small
patch it is possible to access 512 KB from Basic. This is compatible
with 256 KB and 1024 KB SIMM modules. There also exists some light
modified version of this RD with some switches for better
compatibility with some "old" software. (XI of Satantronic);
Atari Basic: no! XL/XE Selftest: YES! Antic access: no!

- Turbo Freezer XL Bernhard Engl 256k
4000-7FFF 2,3,4,5,6 B ($D301)
Banks: E3,E7,EB,EF,93,97,9B,9F,A3,A7,AB,AF,B3,B7,BB,BF;
Notes: The Turbo Freezer XL is an external device for the XL-PBI
with its own Operating-Sytem. It has a built-in Freezer, Monitor
and DOS. The Antic access for the RD can simply be built with one
wire from CPU to PBI. The RD Access works with Port-Bits 2,3 for
Bank Switching, Bits 4,5 for Groups and Bit 6 for "Mode-Select".
PortB D7 = Selftest (0=on)
D6 = Mode (1 = XE, 0 = Groups)
D5 = XE: ANTIC-Access (0 = on), Groups: Group H
D4 = XE: CPU-Access (0 = on), Groups: Group L
D3 = Bank Number H
D2 = Bank Number L
D1 = BASIC ROM (0 = on)
D0 = OS ROM (0 = off)
Atari Basic: YES! XL/XE Selftest: YES! Antic access: optional;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
- missing info for the following Ramdisks:
other Bob Woolley Ramdisks, more 600XL Ramdisks, Rambo XL (512k by
ICD), some Irata Ramdisks, MIO, as well as many other types;
- (?) means: info is missing or I am not absolutely sure about this
information; so this has to be verified by other Atarians;
For this 20th edition special thanks and credits go to: Lee Barnes,
Russ Gilbert, Mathy van Nisselroy, Erhard Puetz, Mathias Reichl,
Ron Hamilton, Wes Newell, Guy Ferrante, XI of Satantronic, Bernhard
Pahl and Walter Lojek for sharing their info with me. Also thanks to
John Picken for writing an excellent article about ramdisks and
cartridges (especially about bank-switching, which both devices can
do). And thanks to Jindrich Kubec (Jindroush) for presenting this fine
article on his homepage... Finally thanks to Michael Current for
publishing/including this "spam" in his A8FAQ and all the nice Atarians
at comp.sys.atari.8bit for their help and patience. -Thank you Folks !!-
Well, thats it for today - there is still a lot of information missing,
I know, but any help is appreciated. If you have some more information
or other things that might help, let me know. Please do also send
corrections since there will always be some updates and corrections
nescessary. Atarian Greetings - Andreas Magenheimer.

Subject: 8.11) What programs support a RAMdisk?
This section by Andreas Magenheimer.
8.11 Ramdisk-supporting Software:
(This is Version 2.10 from October 2003)
Well, I will only list those programs here that have BUILT-IN! ramdisk
support. Why? Simply, because most if not all PD programs can support
a RD, as soon as the user a) has a certain DOS or RD driver or b) has
a special OS inside the computer or c) has any kind of special and
non-standard hardware. Just one example: With the use of QMEG+ OS it
is possible to freeze ZORK (or any other protected / unprotected program)
into the RD, then re-direct the RD as being drive 1 and finally boot
Zork off of the Ramdisk, allthough Zork does not support a RD in any way.
The same funny things can be done to other copy protected programs and
especially to unprotected public domain programs... Now, let me begin:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A) DOS programs:
a) Name(s) b) Author(s)
c) RD-type(s) d) max. size

- ? means I am (generally) unsure -or:- I am not sure if
the given information is correct (just check it out!);
Thats all for now. Thanks and credits go to Russ Gilbert, Lee Barnes

Subject: 8.12) What programs require a RAMdisk?
This section by Andreas Magenheimer.

A) Non-Demo-Programs:
a) name(s): b) author(s):
c) memory (min.): d) RD-Type(s):
e) notes
- 130XE-(Bank-)Tester (TOOL) various authors (PD);
128k memory (64k RAM + 64k RD) 130XE-Ramdisk (E3,E7,EB,EF);
(1 block with 4 banks, overall: 4 banks);
- 192k-Memory-Tester (TOOL) various authors (PD);
192k memory (64k RAM + 128k RD) A,E Ramdisk blocks;
(2 blocks each with 4 banks, overall: 8 banks);
- 256k-Memory-Tester (TOOL) various authors (PD);
256k memory (64k RAM + 192k RD) A,C,E or 8,A,E blocks;
(3 blocks each with 4 banks, overall: 12 banks);
- 320k-Memory-Tester (TOOL) various authors (PD);
320k memory (64k RAM + 256k RD) 8,A,C,E or 2,6,A,E blocks;
(4 blocks each with 4 banks, overall: 16 banks);
- 576k-Memory-Tester (TOOL) various authors (PD);
576k memory (64k RAM + 512k RD) (overall: 32 banks);
(8 blocks x 4 banks -or- 4 blocks x 8 banks);
- 1088k-Memory-Tester (TOOL) various authors (PD);
1088k memory (64k RAM + 1024k RD) (overall: 64 banks);
(4 blocks x 16 banks for Mathy van Nisselroy`s RD and maybe others);
(8 blocks x 8 banks for Newell, Peterson, TOMS and compatibles);
(16 blocks x 4 banks should also be possible, but do not exist yet!);
- 2112k-Memory Tester (TOOL) Satantronic`s XRAM 0.18;
2112k memory (64k RAM + 2048k RD) (overall: 128 banks);
(8 blocks x 16 banks -or- 16 blocks x 8 banks);
- 4160k-Memory-Tester (TOOL) ??? (authors unknown);
4160k memory (64k RAM + 4096k RD) (overall: 256 banks);
(16 blocks x 16 banks, means blocks 0-F each with banks 0-F);
(note: with 1 PIA chip the main RAM 4000-7FFF is not available!);
- 8256k-Memory-Tester (TOOL) ??? (authors unknown);
8256k memory (64k RAM + 8192k RD) (overall: 512 banks);
(afaik, this upgrade requires 2 PIA chips or some uncool tricks!);
- 16448k-Memory-Tester (TOOL) ??? (authors unknown);
16448k memory (64k RAM + 16384k RD) (overall: 1024 banks);
(afaik, this upgrade requires 2 PIA chips or some uncool tricks!);
=> Note that 2MB-16MB extra RAM / Ramdisks are very uncommon
in the Atari scene! These upgrades were once sold by ICD and
Newell (maybe a few ones also by FTE) and of course they were
and still are selfmade by some crazy Atarians. It is not clear
if there is any software (games, apps., demos) available, that
supports these mega-upgrades fully. Afaik, only few Atarians
have and use them, mostly users of mailboxes / BBS`es...;
- APC-Archiver 1.0 (TOOL) LBS/APC;
320kbytes minimum memory 26AE = no!, 8ACE = YES!;
(It seems like this program does not work on Ataris which have
more than 320kbytes of RAM, i.e. it crashes on my 576k Atari)
- APC-Packer 1.1 (TOOL) LBS/APC;
