			Note that the 5V power to the external unit is supplied by an RCA jack added to the power switch side of the back of the machine. Note that you shouldn't use an RCA jack on the back of the machine without inspecting it first.

			<blockquote>
			Recently I installed a one megabyte RAM Disk from Microsphere, ... on one of our four Kaypro II's. They have been modified to Kaypro IV's using a Pro-8 ROM and a Plus-4 Decoder Board from MicroCornucopia, ... since I also added two more disk drives. We are very pleased with these modifications.

			However, each time you use the RAM, you have to format it and load the Perfect Software system into it (unless you have the RAM always on, which could be hazardous in case of any power surges). Formatting and loading the RAM can take about ten minutes as you pip b:=a:.[v] each disk into the RAM. Besides the time involved, it requires your almost constant attention and you cannot do very much else during this period.

			After reading several articles in KUGRAM on SUBMIT, the following series of SUBMIT files will load Perfect Writer, Perfect Calc, Perfect Filer and The Word Plus in about seven minutes.

			All you must type is:

			SUBMIT DISKRAM.SUB (to start the SUBMIT files)

			Two Y's to format the RAM disk (when asked by the RAM disk formatting program)

			SUBMIT PIPNEWTW.SUB. (when asked by the SUBMIT files)

			and, of course, swap the disks. With four disk drives, you can load the CP/M disk and three of the four disks above, all at the same time.
