I believe only Flashdisk cards have the write limitation. It was my
understanding that SRAM cards are simply RAM disks and like normal
RAM, are not limited to a certain number of reads/writes.
Just to make it clear, however, the AOL program doesn't take up any
space on the Zoomer's B: drive. It's actually in a similar
directory on the SYS volume, and GEOS maps similar directory
structures to appear as a single drive in File Manager. In other
words, AOL is in ROM. There is a preferences file in
B:\GEOWORKS\PRIVDATA\AOL folder, but it only takes up 1-2 K. If you
never run AOL, this file will never be created.
