Connectix RAM Doubler 8, version 8.0.1. RAM Doubler 8 is a form of RAM
virtualization software for Macintosh computers that have less than
256 MB of physical RAM installed.
RAM Doubler 8 is not a solution for applications that individually
require more memory than is currently installed as physical RAM. For
example, a configuration with 8 MB of physical RAM installed should
not attempt to run an application that requires 10 MB of RAM, even
with RAM Doubler installed. The virtualized memory that RAM Doubler 8
provides is best utilitized for running multiple smaller applications
simultaneously.
Top DL: A Disk Copy 4.2 image file of a 800k DD floppy disk,
compressed as StuffIt v5.5 ".sit" archive. Use same or Disk Copy 6.3.3
to write back to 800k floppy media.
2nd DL: Patched copy of the same, to allow installing without
requiring a floppy disk drive.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC
Suitable for Mac OS 7.1 through 8.6 with 32-bit addressing turned on
with a Motorola 68030 CPU or better, or a PPC Macintosh.
Top DL only: This software must be installed from a hardware floppy
disk to install. During installation the installer checks for the
presence of being run from a physical hardware floppy drive and will
not install otherwise.
With 84 MB RAM or more installed, RAM Doubler 8 extends memory up to
256 MB on 68K processor configurations or 240 MB on PowerPC
configurations (16 MB is reserved for File Mapping on PowerPC).
Not suitable for Macintosh emulators.
