I. PASCAL PSEUDO—DISK SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
A. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
An Apple II with 48K of on board memory, a least one disk
drive (1—5 drives may be used) and a Saturn Systems Inc. 32K,
64K or 128K RAM Board, are the minimum hardware requirements, for
PASCAL pseudo—disk operation.
Any of the following expansion RAM cards may be used in slot
zero:
A) Apple Language Card
B) 16K RAM card
C) Any Saturn RAM Board (32K, 64K, 128K)
Additional Saturn RAM Boards may also be placed in addi-
tional slots. The memory on these cards (up to a maximum of
256K) may be used as a PSEUDO DISK.
B. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
The PASCAL Operating System version 2.1, and the Saturn
Systems PASCAL Diskette.
II. VOLUME ASSIGNMENT AND DISK CAPACITY:
The PASCAL Operating System, version 2.1 assigns volume
numbers to disk drives in the following order: 4,5,11,12,9,10.
The Saturn PSEUDO DISK is installed as Volume #10, leaving room
for up to five additional drives to be installed.
Unlike normal disk drives, PSEUDO DISK memory boards may be
installed in any available slot. A maximum of 256K may be insta-
lled as a Saturn PSEUDO DISK yielding 506 blocks available to the
user (after allowing 4 blocks for the disk directory and 2 for
the boot strap).
The following table shows the amount of available memory for
various memory configurations.
Language Card Note:
An article in the December 1981 issue of “SOFTALK” magazine
entitled “Make your Apple More Flexible” describes a method of
modifying the Apple Language Card in such a manner as to disable
the Autostart ROM. With this modification, the capacities listed
for a 16K card may be obtained while using an Apple Language
Card.
