I checked Dr. Dobb's this afternoon. The ProDOS RAM disk driver is in the
December 1985 issue. The title is "ProDOS and the RAM Disk," by Alfred
Steele, page 84. But the driver is designed for the Synetix Flashcard with
288K of RAM. The Flashcard has six banks of memory. Four banks have 64K and
the other two have only 16K each.

Also in this same December 1985 issue is an article called "Adding a Copy
Command to ProDOS" by Shawn Day.
