Short: Uses 16bit RAM as swap space for VMM Author: groeger@gundel.zdv.uni-mainz.de Uploader: groeger@gundel.zdv.uni-mainz.de Type: disk/misc memory.device - Exec device driver for direct memory access (C) Copyright 1995 Marius Groeger All Rights Reserved. This special device simulates a trackdisk compliant block device in any region of memory. Unlike the RAM DISK (which is in fact not even a device) or the ramdrive.device, memory.device allows the exact definition of the memory to use for data storage. The purpose memory.device has been developed for is to use it on systems equipped with different RAM chips or local memory busses. In conjunction with VMM or similar virtual memory packages a memory region with slower RAM chips may be used as swap area. This idea originates from the z2ram device which has been written for Linux/68k/Amiga. Other applications with memory.device are conceivable, ranging from whitty over funny to perverted. Use it on your own risk, it is a license to crash the system. Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide® document to obtain further information about the installation and usage of memory.device.
