Subject: Applicard Review
Replaced my Softcard with the 6mhz Applicard + 128k RAMdisk. Should
have done it a long time ago. Primary application is text editing using
Mince; with the swap file on the RAMdisk, Mince runs faster than
mainfrrame Emacs at 1200 baud.
Documentation is a little sketchy; basically an installation manual and
a somebody's intro to CPM book. Several commands are not described in
either set. OEM documentation available for people wanting to write
funny drivers, etc. Technical support (questions) is *excellent*.
If you do try to use Mince off the RAMcard, make sure you load mince.com
onto the M: device *before* you load mince.swp; if mince.swp is the
first file on the disk, Mince crashes. I know not why ...
