RAMDOS allows the use of an 80 track double sided second disc drive on the Amstrad CPC series of computers under Amsdos (Amstrad Basic), CP/M 2 or CP/M Plus. Most of the programs are unprotected so that they can be copied onto your discs easily. However you may not pass copies to another individual or company. The programs are encoded so that any illegal copies can be traced to their original owner.

The various programs on the disc allow the use of RAMDOS in the different programming environments and other situations:

`RAMDOS.BAS & RAMDOS.BIN`: | for use in Basic (Amsdos)
`RAMDOS2.COM`: | for use in CP/M 2.2
`RAMDOS+.COM`: | for use in CP/M Plus
`FORMATS.BIN`: | to format disks etc
`RAMDOST.BAS`: | to use with TASWORD 6128

#### RAMDOS with Basic or Binary programs:

Switch on Drive B, THEN switch on the computer and type:
`RUN "RAMDOS" ENTER`

RAMDOS prompts you state the computer you are using and loads RAMDOS.BIN accordingly. If the computer is an unexpanded 464 or 664, HIMEM is lowered by about 2K, but if it has the extra 64K of memory, HIMEM is not changed. Discs for drive B can be formatted using FORMATS (see below).

The disc commands and BIOS calls work as normal with RAMDOS (ie SAVE, LOAD, |ERA, |REN, |TAPE, |DISC, CALL &BC77 etc etc).

#### Start of day disc:

Files needed are: RAMDOS.BAS and RAMDOS.BIN. The Basic program is unprotected, and can be loaded and saved as normal. The Binary program can be loaded by:
`MEMORY &2FFF:LOAD "RAMDOS.BIN",&3000`
and saved by:
`SAVE "RAMDOS.BIN,b,&3000,&E00`
