IT CAN.'SEE ' THE 1764 AS A SECOND 1541 DISK.DRIVE. GOING FROM THE DESKTOP TO.A DATA FILE T AKES ABOUT 1/2 SECOND..GEOS CAN EVEN TRA NSFER THE ENTIRE.CONTENTS OF A FLOPPY DI SK TO THE 1764... THE 1764 COMES WITH A BETTER POWER.SUPPLY AND A FLOPPY DISK FULL OF.USEFUL SOFTWARE. LOAD AND RUN T HE.FIRST PROGRAM ON THE DISK. A MENU.WI LL APPEAR FROM WHICH YOU CAN.INSTALL A R AMDISK, TEST THE RAM, OR.RUN A DEMO PROG RAM... IF 'INSTALL RAMDISK' IS CHOSEN, .YOU WILL HAVE A FAST DISK DRIVE WITH.96 0 BLOCKS FREE!
