running 840av only from RAM disk

QuadraJets Junior Member USA 344 Posts	Posted - 05 Nov 2002 : 15:31:19 I was bored, so I made a 70 meg 8.1 ram disk on my 840av, copied the system folder to it, plus snood, netscape, and aim. I restarted it and pulled the power to the hard drive before the mac scanned the bus, and now I have a really quiet, fast 68k mac. It starts up in about 10 seconds! It is strange browsing the net without the noise of a hard drive clicking... And this will save on the power consumption, since I can't really shut it down without losing settings-it won't boot with a pram battery installed.

Solid state is the way to go . I'd use that for a server if it weren't for the problems of an unexpected shutdown. _______________________ Sgt.
