AOS RAM Disk

(1/8) > >>

Doug Clark:
I have read that the AOS RAM disk uses memory above the 4 MB limit - meaning on a 8 MB machine I could assign 4MB to a ram disk and not impact any OS/2 applications or the operating system itself.

Yet the Low and High memory check boxes and available amounts don't seem to indicate that is true.

Does anyone know where RAM disk takes memory? And it it does use memory about the 4 MB limit, how does it do that?

Valery Sedletski:
I always thought, it is a 4 GB, not 4 MB limit. Am I not right?

Doug Clark:
Yes Valery, you are correct. My mistake. 4 GB limit.

David Graser:
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.  I believe one needs the OS/4 kernel and the QSINIT loader to utilized RAM above 4 GB.

OS/4 kernel (and emsFS.ifs)   _OR_  the  QSINIT (and some .ADD driver)
