The partition can be any number and any size; the
driver detects its size and allocates the memory in the partition for
the
buffer. The maximum size of the directory is 144 files.

RAMLink. This driver searches for a direct
access (DACC) partition in your RAMLink with the name
"novaterm".
The partition can be any number and any size; the

1.1.9 Dealing with a hardware conflict
Certain combinations of a serial device and memory expansion device
result in a hardware conflict. This means that the two specified
devices use the same addresses for access. This will cause problems
when Novaterm or another program tries to access one; the other will
be accessed at the same time.
To help avoid this situation, the configuration program notifies you
when a selection of drivers would result in a conflict. It gives you
the
option of going back to choose a different driver for either the serial
device or the memory device.
Section 4.8 provides more detail about hardware conflicts

Micro Designs, Inc., or a RAMLink with a real-time clock installed,
choose this method. This driver scans devices 8 through 30 for a
CMD drive with a clock using the T-RB disk command. Novaterm
reads the time from te first drive that does not report an error from
this command.
