    INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most powerful memory sub - systems ever developed for a microcomputer. With a full half-megabyte of memory standard, you will immediately expand your Apple IIGS to three-quarters of a megabyte -- more fully addressable memory than ever before available on an Apple II. By adding additional [...]

    automatically when the RamPak 4GS is properly installed in your Apple. Your computer knows to look for available memory every time you turn it on, so the RamPak's expansion benefits are immediately realized. Memory management is up to you. It is accomplished through use of the RamPak system utilities, which may be implemented at any time once [...]

    3. Touch the power supply of the Apple IIGS before handling the RamPak 4GS. Static charges may damage your RAM or other delicate electronic parts. 4. If you have purchased additional RAM for the Ram Pak, this must be installed before the RamPak is installed in your Apple. Turn ahead to ‘Installing RAM Chips in the RamPak 4GS on page 5, follow the[...]

    By following this procedure you will have properly installed the RamPak 4GS, and any software designed to use higher RAM levels will now automatically take advantage of your powerful new system. Installation Test To be sure the RamPak 4GS is functioning properly, run the following short test: 1. With all drives empty, turn on the Apple IIGS. Press [...]

Your RamPak 4GS has been specifically designed for use with 256K x 4 DRAM chips. This allows you to expand at a rate of 2 chips (or 256K) at a time, as opposed to the 8 chip minimum expansion required by othe[...]
