Subject: Apple CP/M and RAMdrives

   I was wondering if anyone out there can help me.  I am using
CP/M on my enhanced Apple //e.  I now have the need for using
files greater than the size of an Apple 5.25" disk.  It must be
one continuous file so I can't break it into multiple disks.  I
am now considering purchasing either a RAMcard (probably AE
Ramfactor so it would be compatible with a //gs if/when I
upgrade/purchase one.)  or a 3.5" 800K drive (probably from
Central Point).  I would like to know if anyone has used either
of these with Apple CP/M.  I am using Microsoft CP/M ver 2.23.
It's dated 1982, so I doubt it will recognize Apples new
disk drive protocols.  I need to know what, if anything, I
would need to do to get CP/M do recognize these.  Do I need
to get a newer version of CP/M or will either of these come
with the software.  My setup is as follows:

      Slot          Peripheral
        1            Grappler parallel printer card
        2            Apple SSC
        6            Apple disk drive controller
        7            ALS Z-card

   This only leaves either slot 4 or 5 for the new device.
Any help would be appreciated.
