thought I'd share with readers
this mistake that I've made myself! I've been baffled by this, stuck in a loop trying the same thing over and over (a sure sign of madness). I tried the same thing as Terry, and it all worked. Now I don't like printing out email trails, but I think others will find this information useful, especially if you are stuck in the loop of wondering why the whole thing doesn't work! [If I edit
any of this, there's a danger that a procedure will get messed up, so I'll leave it verbatim. Sounds like there's enough pain going on already - Sub-Ed]

Subject: RL DACC memory partitions

Hi all,

I wanted to rephrase what I posted about the RL DACC memory partitions.

I did some homework on this right from the addendum manual that came with my Ramlink. The Ramlink utility disk has software for creating the DACC
partition. The device number is what is important, The DACC accesses the
actual memory ONLY using device# 22 or higher. using Device 8 or 9 or to 21 will not work, these device numbers only use the memory AS a disk drive and
not accessing the RAM.

I made that same mistake myself, when I tried to create the DACC partition (using device 8) the Ramlink red error light would come on and stay on until I removed the bad partition. Using Device 22 then worked I made a 1581 DACC, I booted Wheels and up popped a DIALOGUE box which had a list of all detected
RAM expansion devices, including the DACC memory partition. I selected the
DACC and Wheels booted perfectly using this configuration.

So it was good for me to learn how to make this work, I wanted to share this with anybody here that uses GEOS/ Wheels OS. I really didn't try this with
GEOS but Wheels handled this type of ram very well. It made me do my homework and I made it work.

If you are using you RamLink only for Wheels, you can have your DACC a minimum of 128K (512 blocks), then you can use your remaining ram for a single native partition, to make it easier to put large quantities of files without
switching around in various partitions.

If you plan to use geos as well, this might not be your best option. The RL/RD setup on side two of your RamLink utilities disk makes setting everything up easy the first time. It is a destructive program that will clear all
partitions on the RamLink.

I've got my RamLink maxed out at 16mb, so for geos compatibility I used the 512k DACC + 1581 partition, using the RL/RD setup, then go to Ramtools on side one of the Ramlink utility disk to create my native partition for Wheels. Keep in mind geos does require the configure file from the RamLink disk to be recognized correctly under Geos 2.0.

Had you mentioned you were trying to set up your DACC for Wheels, in your earlier posts, some of us would have had a better idea of suggestions to get you up and running quicker.

Ray Carlsen, veteran Commodore repair technician, is now selling Computer
Saver (an improved version of his original Computer Saver, the schematic of which had been on his website for years). Like the original, his new Computer Saver functions as a voltage limiter when plugged in-line between the C64 and the C64 power supply. Read what Ray says about his product --

Hi,

Photos of the construction of those savers are on my site -- personalpage s.tds.net/~rcarlsen/cbm/c64/SAVER/EXTERNAL/

AN EXTERNAL "COMPUTER SAVER" PROTECTION DEVICE FOR THE C64

This shows a small run of the Computer Saver I designed. It is made to be installed between any C64 and its power supply. The two LED's on the Saver
case are indicators of the PS status. The LED on the left monitors the 9VAC from the supply and it should be on all the time the PS is plugged in to AC power, whether the computer is on or off. The other LED (marked "failsafe") is normally off. It only comes on if the PS fails due to a shorted internal regulator.

That fault is what damages chips in the computer, most often the RAM. Since there is already an LED on the comput
