From   : Boebert@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA
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 ...
