I have a 16MB 386 machine. With that much space, I'd like to install
Alsys on a Ramdisk (copying its state to a harddisk before powering down)
and cut down on harddisk use. So, I made a 10MB ramdisk and installed Alsys
Ada on it (with plenty of RAM left for the compiler work space). The problem
is that I can't get anything to work for too long; sometime the installation
itself hangs. When I called Alsys, they told me that it might have to do with
a "too fast" disk, so I powered my machine from 20 to 7Mhz but had the same
problems. I was using EDISK (Everex's ramdrive driver). Then I switched
to ECACHE (running the compiler from my harddisk, where it works just fine)
with a 10Mb cache, and the same behavior resulted.
Anyone out there actually get such a configuration to work? I'd appreciate
hearing how.
