RAM Disk Utility Gets OS X Release
by , 3:00 PM EDT, April 30th, 2002
Clarkwood Software has released a new version of ramBunctious, bringing it to version 2.0. ramBunctious is a RAM disk utility now featuring OS X support. ramBunctious 2.0 also can read RAM disks originally created on OS 9. According to Clarkwood Software:
ramBunctious 2.0 is a RAM disk program for Macintosh computers using OS X and later. (For RAM disks on OS 9 and below, please use ramBunctious 1.6.2.)
ramBunctious 2.0 provides basic RAM disk functionality for OS X, including being able to read from and write to RAM disks originally created using ramBunctious 1.x on OS 9 or below.
OS X's driver architecture is wholly different from OS 9 and below, so we had to start over from scratch to implement a RAM disk suitable for OS X.
You can find more information about the ramBunctious release at the Clarkwood Software Web site. ramBunctious 2.0 is available for US$25.00.
