==== CMD RAMLink v2 ====

A RAM based expansion for the Commodore 64/128 the RAMLink gives the ultimate in RAMdisk speed as it connects via the Commodore's expansion port and not the serial iec port.

This RAMLink has 4MB RAM (out of 16MB possible), power supply, RL Utilities Disk, a copy of the manual, the timing clip (necessary to work with C64 models), and the cable for the back-up battery (battery not included). A battery backup unit can be purchased inexpensively to keep the memory contents intact when cycling power or during power outages. RAMLink also has its own built-in JiffyDOS expansion for the host computer.

One of the best “power-up” additions for Commodore BBS sysops or GEOS power users.
