We have just upgraded our old Fat Mac to a Plus configuration with two
800K floppy drives.  We used to use RamDisk version 1.2 to load the
system and finder into memory, since 400K floppies are so slow.  Is it
worth doing this now that we have faster floppies, a much larger system,
and a disk cache?  We use the Mac to draw figures and to check out
interesting software, not for program development.
