#### RAMDOS with TASWORD 6128

`RUN "TASWORD"` - go into Basic then `RUN "RAMDOST"`

RAMDOST loads RAMDOS.BIN into the text area which is reduced by 2K to about 62K.

If Qualitas 464 is being used, then run Qualitas first, return to Basic and run RAMDOST.

If Qualitas Plus is being used it is necessary to make a slight alteration to the Qualitas loader programs. The changes to Qualitas Plus version 1 are as follows:

#### QTW6128.BAS

`200 RESTORE 210;n=48784:FOR i=n TO n+19:READ j:
POKE i,j:NEXT i`

#### QUAL128.BAS & QM02.BAS

`170 RESTORE 180:n=48784:FOR i=n TO n+32:READ j:
POKE i,j:NEXT i`

For Qualitas Plus version 2, change the statement `n=48664` (or similar) to `n=48784` in QUAL128, QPM128, QTW6128 and QMO2 (the line number containing the value of `n` varies according to the loader program).

#### Start of day disc

Files needed are RAMDOST.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`

#### Technical details

RAMDOST loads RAMDOS.BIN into the top of bank 7, which is the top of the text area in Tasword 6128. The text area available in Tasword is reduced so that it is not possible to over-write RAMDOS by filling the text space.

Qualitas also loads part of its program into bank 7, but it cannot be relocated, so Qualitas must be run first. RAMDOST will then relocate RAMDOS below Qualitas. Qualitas further reduces the text area available.

The 2K buffer area is not changed by RAMDOST, because TASWORD sets a new permanent buffer of its own.
